Hahaha - yeah, I have tried both the vanilla 12 and 13 and I do agree they are both much easier to manage than the Pro Max - especially the weight. I remember the 12's battery life wasn't as good as the 13's but both manage to get me through a day with an average of 4-5 hours screen time. Unfortunately I can't get those kinda numbers of the 12 Mini though.

Anyways, looking forward to the launch - just hoping the prices won't be crazy considering how weak the MYR is against the USD now.

Agreed bro, we’re looking at maybe 6299 for the base… Or Apple could do us a solid and keep the 6299 for the 256GB and make that the base unit now instead of 128GB - but unlikely, hahaha…

With anticipation going strong for the iPhone 15 release, what has been an effective preorder method to receive the phone on launch day for you? I will never forget my sour experience preordering physically with Machines Mid Valley last year, so I will not patron them again. I am hoping for an option to preorder online with collection in store, thinking of Switch this time. Excited for Malaysian fans to collect our titaniums on launch day Sep 29.

Looking to replace my aging iPhone X since it will be EOL soon

Got a Japan trip in mid-Oct

Wondering if I can get it cheaper (tax-free) there, or just buy locally (will be nice if can get before the trip)

14 pro and 15 pro camera stay the same right? still using imx 803?
the only problem is apple need to fix their stupid over sharpening post processing, looks god damn fugly

iPhone 15 Pro Supports USB 3 Speeds, But Only If You Buy an Extra Cable





Point number 5, the fact they don't explicitly state that USB 3 cable need to be purchased separately, but instead state that USB 3 cable required. Really cekik darah to get money.

Correct, definitely within expectation but still bullsh*t practice lah.
But I gotta applaud Apple for making the USB 2 cable white, and the USB 3/Thunderbolt 4 Cable black colour, that means they have higher chance of selling USB 3 cable more due to black being perceived as more luxurious.

If you consider the number of EVs coming out of China at the moment, I think it’s safe to say I’d pick China, hahaha…
I think there will only ever be incremental or minor upgrades for iPhones from here on in. Maybe until the day Apple releases a foldable or something. I don’t consider the RM200 price hike as exorbitant though, considering our currency is the equivalent of toilet paper at the moment.
If I’m not mistaken, the last time Apple differentiated the Pro and the Pro Max cameras were in the 12 series, and both 13 and 14 series had the same set of cameras. This means that size (and obviously battery life) is not the only difference now so perhaps everyone will be gunning for the Pro Max model this round.
If you’re paying via credit card without any instalment plans or deducting points etc., then you can just pre-order via Apple’s website. It’s been proven to be hassle free.
Hahaha, yeah, Apple doing what Apple does best! I’ve not watched the keynote - will do that tonight, but caught their YouTube ad on my feed this morning. They remain the best at overhyping a feature and convincing everyone they need it!
Hello sis! Our annual reunion here, hehehe! Are you upgrading this round?

You can get GST refund if buy in SG as a non PR foreigner

Once you factor in the GST refund, it will be cheaper than buying in MYS

I got 11 pro max as side phone

Think i only jump 15 pro max days b4 16 pro max releases

Saving is less than RM300, not really substantial

The biggest appeal is the ability of getting AppleCare+ if buying SG set.
Hello!

eSIM is great, I'm using it as well. I wonder if Maxis fixed their eSIM transfer these days else it will require a visit to their store for a new QR code.
It's looking more like a fabric material based on those hands on review, probably something similar to Cordura fabric


Click to zoom in and see the details

Edit: I just had a look at my Cordura fabric mouse pad, the texture looks exactly the same.

i just done activated my e sim, I will need to drop by maxis center again huh?

From switch you get back membership points which can be used for next purchase about rm60+ iirc…also you get an extended year of protection plan from switch for only rm49 add on..

Maybe I can chip in on this.

By law, all devices with wireless transmission require MCMC approval before they can secure an import permit.

Apple probably wouldn't trust MCMC enough to send them a unit for certification before their announcement.
Any concerns with the warranty? I believe all Apple products come with global warranty.

I actually claimed warranty of my Airpods Pro purchased here at BKK. Done within an hour.

If same iphone, it is still intact.

If change to new iphone, following is the option you can transfer eSIM to new Iphone

1. Usually, during the iPhone setup process, you will be asked to set up the eSIM. You can simply follow the on-screen prompts to activate the eSIM.
2. If you did not transfer your eSIM during the setup process, you can go to Settings app > tap Cellular > choose Add Cellular plan to transfer eSIM.
3. In addition, if your current iPhone has installed iOS 16 or later version, you can transfer eSIM to new eSIM via Bluetooth.

everybody say 15 and 15pro nothing special but still have seller mark up price

Lol, increase so much the cost.

early adopter get a certificate is it?

Too untung, Haha!

Not sure if I can tell if the person is using iphone 14pm or 15pm
🤣

is it easy to claim back the GST ? planning to get 2 units from SG

I thought Friday is only pre-order in most countries?

Pre-order allows for a later pick-up date right? I am not around (overseas) and will be back only later.
