just comparing our prices against our neighbors. Japan still the cheapest. Even China is cheaper than us nowadays.
Price is for the iPhone 15 Pro 128GB model

Lol.... if you compare median salary vs iPhone price, u will notice Malaysia is one of the most expensive countries to afford an iPhone. Sad but true, people still buy it via instalment even though some couldn't afford.

Anyone currently using their iPhone 12, 13, 14 WITHOUT any casing? I always like the naked feel and am planning to get the 15.

Me. Never bother about casing or screen protector since day 1. I just love the naked feel, can’t stand wrapping a thick condom over it.

actually it just feel too bad when using it naked. but my butter finger told me better not to challenge with no casing, so day 1 already armed with thick phone case and tempered glass

I can confidently say majority will protect it with casing and screen protector. But I’ve reached a level which I don’t really bother about scratches or dings from dropping. As long as it still works. Pro’s matte finishing is not as slippery as lower end glossy glass finishing. I’m glad staring iPhone 15 all are matte finish

How fares your camera lenses and phone shell so far? Picking up and put on hard surfaces (e.g. tables) didn't scratch it too much?
*
Camera lenses no scratches. Phone shell a bit scratches but not noticeable. I did drop a few times, there are tiny dents here and there

Hi all.
I’m so confused between getting the IP15pro or not this time around. I’m using IP13pro now, and was thinking of changing it. Tapi like takde beza sangat pun between 13 VS 15. Should I wait for 16? My hubby said, no need to buy la…hahahah…..you know la perempuan, want new shiny things.
*
Keep your iPhone 13. Even if you can afford it makes no sense to change. If you die die itchy wanna buy something Apple, go use the money buy Apple stock and thank me later.

so have you boys and girls decided where to buy from?

1. Apple website -  probably the safest and fastest but you get nothing extra
2. Machines - RM250 rebate on accessories but need to use Easy Pay installments
3. Switch - RM250 rebate on accessories - installments
4. Seng Heng/SenQ - 1 extra year warranty but need to join membership
5. Shopee - can get 15,000 coins cash back but need to use ShopeePay

not sure about other sellers, please add if you know. TIA

I thought shopeepay got RM4999 limit? How to pay using shopeepay?

Shocking. I've never seen iPhone break like that. Must be the most fragile iPhone ever. Seems like only affecting Max.

Sad to hear this. I collected mine already this morning.
Not bad, so many free gifts.
I'm restoring from iCloud now and it is stuck not moving for a while already, "Time remaining: estimating..." Normal?

I use mine naked without case….. definitely can feel it’s hotter compared to my iPhone 14 Pro Max. But not to the point it’s unbearable. Oh well hope future software can fix this

Yup I realise that too but doesn’t bother me cause I don’t listen to music on iPhone speaker.

if consider one is using RM 11.90/month (200gb), it is not sufficient to backup the entire iphone of 256gb storage i believe? so for backup, i supposed u backup to PC via itunes?

if it is this plan, it may be sufficient to offload some usage of photos off the iphone but it is limited in terms of its usage.
if one is going for RM 44.90/month (2TB) , it is not cheap as well.

if assume one changes iphone every 3 years or 5 years (of course if one is rich that changes iphone every year, then ignore this completely).

RM 44.90/month x 3 x 12 = rm1616.4 (3 years of ownership) - enough for 1.6 times of upgrade price to 512gb
RM 44.90/month x 5 x 12 = rm2694 (5 years of ownership) - enough for 2.6 times of upgrade price to 512gb or enough for 1.3 times of upgrade price to 1TB


if one is not heavily depends on iCloud+ and prefer local storage instead, actually it is not a bad choice to upgrade to higher storage comparing to subscribing to iCloud+.

above assume that one needs to the full features of icloud+ that is enough for a 256gb iphone for full backup etc.
one may argue that he needs only RM 11.90/month (200gb) plan, then it will be:
RM 11.90/month x 3 x 12 = rm428.4 (3 years of ownership)
RM 11.90/month x 5 x 12 = rm714 (5 years of ownership)

so comparing to upgrading to 512gb iphone, then it may make more sense if it is really sufficient for one in terms of usage.

ultimately, the above comparison is solely comparing the cost of icloud+ spent if one chooses it becos he does not want to spend more $$ for higher storage iphone.

if one really needs the additional benefits brought by icloud+ to them so no matter what storage of iphone he owns, he will also need icloud+ instead of the free icloud (5GB) then it is totally a different story and the comparison is not relevant.

I'm paying for 2TB. I don't want to risk missing all my photos and videos in case my phone got lost or stolen. Manual backup is too troublesome and I don't have time for that. I have around 300GB of pics and videos. sweat.gif
