What's the best price now for a 15 PM 256/512gb now? Is RM5.1k a good buy at this point of time for a 256gb? I have seen 8.8 being as low as 4.5k from the previous post. Too bad I missed it.

Planning to upgrade from a really laggy 11 pro 64gb.

Ok thanks for the recommendation. I just bought it. I wonder if it will fit my Ringke fusion clear matte case.

I received my 15 pro max natural yesterday. It has a June 2024 manufacture date.

So far I haven't experience any overheating issue but then I don't do gaming on the phone at all. I watched 1-2 hours of Netflix on my phone, and it did not drain or overheat as much as I would expect it to be.

After using that 120hz screen and went back to use my 11 pro, the old phone really feels sluggish and slow. laugh.gif

what's your charging behavior? Do you use fast charging? I am just using the 18w adapter that came with the 11 pro last time.

Money is definitely an issue. So must get the best value of it. Also, heard rumours saying that 15 series “Made in India”  were not so good. Is it true?

I think this might be the reason why 15PM is having big slash of prices now, prior to coming soon new iPhone 16.
*
Since 9.9 sale is around the corner, might as well just wait another 2 weeks to watch the announcement and decide around that timeframe. Normally those X.X sale runs for 2-3 days I think.

I was in the same boat as you but I got mine at Rm4.9k during mid month sale from ITworld. I needed the phone cause I was travelling and my older phone is not really cutting it.


QUOTE(Carlo J @ Aug 27 2024, 02:51 PM)
True, usually these authorized resellers will stop selling once the new model is out so now is the best time to get.
*
Ya, so the best time would be around now to 9.9. I am sure 10.10 all the new models would be out already and it would be at full retail price.

Oh, that's a good deal. Definitely 9.9 will have another sale. 10.10 definitely just those bundle with adapter/case and not a sale.

I'm also traveling soon so I might get this today.

ITworld on Lazada 512gb PM is 5699 after discount. Sale until midnight only. You need to stack 2 (RM600 ITworld voucher +Rm500 Lz) vouchers.

Or you can wait and see next month. tongue.gif

Ooh, nice nice. Right now, I'm not sure to get Pro or Pro Max. I don't have large hands but it's the 5x optical zoom and battery life that's appealing to me here  hmm.gif  hmm.gif  hmm.gif

Go big or go home. Get the pro max for the longer battery life. My 15 pm can easily last more than 1 day with regular usage. But then I don't do gaming on the phone though.

I watch a lot of Netflix. So I prefer the larger screen size. tongue.gif

Yeah, I went with the Pro Max last night, waiting for store to inform me for collection. Good thing UR is having some clearance sales and trade in for old cables and adapters.

I might go back to UAG or maybe try ZAGG or old reliable Spigen, Casetify is too expensive and breaks easily also because they use 'trash' to make the cases, I have 4 of them, 1 is broken but thankfully they replaced it for me, 1 more is coming apart and the last one is surprisingly holding fine.

actually i am downsizing from pro max to pro model, i feel pro max is really a bit too big and too heavy for me.
i cannot use it with one hand perfectly.

so thinking to sell my 15pm to change to 16p only. while the phone still got good value.
*
If going by the apple trade in price on apple website, the 14pm is worth "up to RM3850" for good condition if someone wants to upgrade to 15pm.

When 16p/pm comes out this month, I wonder if that price will be applicable to 15pm? Then it might be better to sell it off or something to fetch higher value I reckon...

Anyone here uses other brands earbud besides the usual AP/AP2?

How about Bose Quietcomfort Ultra or the Technics AZ80? I am already using the Sony XM5. And the general consensus from the reviews online seem to point at the Bose for having a superior ANC and better sound quality of AZ80 over XM5. But I am not sure if there are really worth the premium price.

I am not a bass head and always prefer a neutral and balanced sound.

I use sony WF-1000XM5 as well... ANC to be frank i find it so so only... not sure is it becos i used the wrong ear buds size or i dun know how to use it... but ANC while i am on MRT or airplane is reall so so...

sound quality wise i find it not bad though.... i prefer wireless ear buds with clear vocals.. i dun like heavy bass... at least WF-1000XM5 i can adjust the vocal/bass...

i had used apple Airpods pro 1 gen before, sound is ok... not too heavy bass but cannot adjust vocal/bass... only preset... ANC is reasonable....

For the Xm5, it makes thumping sound while on ANC when I am running or even walking at a faster pace. Yeah, I am also not sure if I am sealing it properly or notg.

QUOTE(Andrewtst @ Sep 15 2024, 03:20 PM)
Technics AZ80 is freaking awesome, superior sound quality and ANC.
For all TWS I used, Technics AZ80 is rank No. 1, following by Marshells MOTIF II A.N.C., Apple AirPods Pro 2 and later by Sony WF-1000XM5.

So Technics AZ80 is really that awesome ya? A lot of reviews actually put it at the no.1 overall spot also as a hidden gem. Right now the price is around rm1.2-Rm1.3k and not many place selling it... hmm.gif

So 16 pro/pro max still using IMX803 1.22 sensor from the 14 pro? Don't get me wrong 48mp ultrawide obviously is better than 12mp.

But better resolution/more pixels divided dont automatically translate to better PQ. Sifu welcome to correct me if I am wrong.

If that's the case, really no diff 15 pro max vs 16 pro/pro max apart from A18 pro. So far I have yet to experience any thermal problems on my 15 pro max and I watch a lot of DV/HDR contents on it.

Do you own a 15 pro max now?

Yes I do.

QUOTE(yvliew @ Sep 17 2024, 07:08 PM)
Last year my Japan trip i was still using 14 pro max. The camera quality for photo and videos is incredibly good. I shoot mostly raw to maximize the 48mp. Many 4K videos for vlog too. This year 15pm can shoot 48mp jpg and 24mp default saved a lot storage space. Skipping the 16PM this year too as not much improvement from main camera. Hopefully iPhone 17 will have new and bigger sensor.
*
I upgraded from an 11 pro, so for me the camera quality is very good already. tongue.gif But yeah I agree with you, I will wait for a better sensor and a form factor redesign.

I have yet to measure my 15 pro max, I measured a rough greyscale once on my 11 pro and even that display is actually quite accurate. Quite close to D65 6500k white point target.

Yes, it is real awesome. The most satisfying TWS I ever buy.

Just gotten my silver Technics AZ80 to match my natural 15pm. Omg, my mind is totally blown. Sound wise is much more superior than my Sonys.

I own XM3, XM4, XM5 and now this Technics AZ80. Probably one of the best among all the TWS I own. AZ80 reminds me a lot of XM3.

using Xm5 ear buds. only has one so no issue about collecting dust.

Sound quality is ok. ANC is ok but not excellent.

But if to change next time I think I will consider airpods 4 with ANC.

I will not buy AirPods as it can’t suite my ear. I got AirPods Pro latest gen but frankly speak it only sound so so.

XM5 has a new redesign app update. It's called "Sound Connect" now.
