Bolehland price is about sgd100++ cheaper than lion city one…

and its still 60ghz screen. Innovative indeed.

I can foresee these models not selling as well and getting steep discounts from retailers in less than 6 months from now

indeed. not to mention that iphone pro series technically no increase of price (at least for US) and starting storage at 256gb. this makes the non-pro series even harder to sell.

And how the heck is it still not a 120hz refresh rate display? Seriously…

Might be worth picking up 14 pro instead if you're considering 15 non pro models. Same stuff + you get all the pro goodies (120hz, camera, aod, etc) but you lose out on usb-c

iPhone 15

128GB – RM4,399
256GB – RM4,899
512GB – RM5,899

iPhone 14 Pro Max 256GB is selling below MYR5000 in lazada.

thanks weak RM

15 is enough for me...but 15 Pro colors are much better

obviously apple is happy that their best selling iphone models is pro/pro max and not pure number series iphones.

ultimately, apple does not lose out in anyway even pure number series are not selling well.

but colours wise actually the iphone 15/15 plus looks not bad...

Wdym not bad? Literally best colours they released in years! 😝

If the 15 Pro colours were the colours of Standard 15/Plus, I would definitely buy them in a heartbeat

Unfortunately, 15 Pro colours I don't like, and 15/15 Plus spec not good, so this year devices not attractive overall to me.

I prefer 15 (non pro) colour than 15 pro colour

prefer light colour than dark colour

RiP again with the PLUS?

Just like how apple killed the MiNi.

PS : my bros wife still holding the red 13 mini after all these years

Very economical wife indeed

Unlike typical trophy wife godiggaz yo

the trend now is that pro series is always the best selling series than pure no series.

so technically the existing of pure no series are for those who really have budget constraints or those really do not need pro functions and to push ppl to go for pro series.

technically no one is interested in pure no series any more...

Even if there is, it makes sense to get the older versions due to the price difference. The 15/15 Plus price is too awkwardly positioned - if you can get a 14 Pro or 14 Pro Max now before they run out of stock it’ll make more sense!

After all, it’s the same chipset and you get more benefits like the higher refresh rate screen, the telephoto lens, the stainless steel frame…

Yes, indeed 14 pro series better buy than 15 except usb-c port is missing.

Still recon anyone to go straight to 15 pro is budget is not a constraint.

I made mistake of not buying earlier Pro models when new one released. Aiyo

Apple is out of their mind to launch an iPhone 15 without promotion at such price again! Please don't buy the phone guys. Go for PRO or android lol...

rather get 14 pro instead 15 or 15 plus

else top up and get 15 pro or 15 pro max or android

Hot take/unpopular opinion:

If you're upgrading from iPhone 12 Pro or older, just get standard 15/15 Plus instead of Pro models. You'll already be satisfied, plus the weight of 15/15 Plus still cheaper than Pro series whilst 15/15 Plus also now have ceramic shield with the new frosted matte glass back.

Even standard models now have 2x optical zoom (using Apple's advertising terms here). And the screen of 15/15 Plus is a significant improvement from 12 Pro already.

iPhone 12 Pro Max vs iPhone 15 Plus comparison:
https://www.apple.com/my/iphone/compare/?mo...,iphone-15-plus

A lot of 15 Pro exclusive features this year are nice to haves, but not really life-changing. If you are currently on iPhone 13 Pro or later, then no motivation to upgrade this year at all.

Screen RR still at 60, not a deal breaker?

If u never went for pro before, it will not a deal breaker for u.

If your current iPhone is either iPhone 14 or older, or iPhone 12 Pro or older? Then it's not a deal breaker, because your eyes are used to 60Hz on these iPhones already.

In fact, iPhone 15/15 Plus has the same high quality peak brightness and Dolby Vision display as iPhone 15 Pro, the only difference seems to be the soft-locked 120Hz only available on 15 Pro.

The iPhone 15/15 Plus this year also got the same 48MP sensor as last year iPhone 14 Pro series, in addition to 2x optical quality zoom, the first optical quality 2x on iPhone non-Pro series.

I basically see iPhone 15/15 Plus as a better 14 Pro (except for 120Hz) since Apple managed to add even a optical zoom to a dual camera setup (main sensor+ultrawide)

Not really, spec wise 14 Pro and 15 Pro use the same camera
Main: 48MP, ƒ/1.78 aperture
Ultra Wide: 12MP, ƒ/2.2 aperture
Telephoto: 12MP, ƒ/2.8 aperture

while the 15 has a slightly different 48Mp camera with different aperture

Main: 48MP, ƒ/1.6 aperture
Ultra Wide: 12MP, ƒ/2.4 aperture

14 Pro still has the Always on display, 120Hz, longer rated battery life, Macro photography, night mode portrait,ProRaw, ProRes, LiDAR and etc

The only upside of 15 is probably the USB-C and software locked SmartHDR 5 and the new portrait feature.

iphone 15 also has smaller light sensor even though the camera is also at 48MP.

15 vs 14 Pro upgrade for 12 Pro users or older? I would recommend 15 lah because overtime 15 can last longer with USB-C port and because of USB-C port, resale value of iPhone 15 long term is also better than 14 Pro.

Can't deny that 14 Pro has the better camera hardware but 15 has the latest marginally better camera software than 14 Pro (and much better than iPhone 14), like the new Smart Portrait depth info feature whereby you can adjust focus after you take a shot (for situations where autofocus didn't work or you were in a rush and want to adjust focus later).

One example showcased was when user taking a photo of her and her dog with the food on the table, the camera may have accidentally focused on food and blurred the user and the dog, but with Smart Portrait, iPhone 15 can change the focus back to her and her dog when editing the photo later, because depth info of the photo was also saved at the same time.

Anyways, back to iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 15, which to buy? For general users, iPhone 15 is really enough (assuming your previous iPhone was iPhone 12 Pro or older). Save that money for maybe AirPods Pro 2nd Gen with USB C.

And for camera geeks, skip iPhone 14 Pro entirely since iPhone 15 Pro has a lot of meaningful upgrades that are important long term like USB 3 USB C and the better camera hardware, ProRes, ProRaw and all those high storage camera capabilities.

Each person has their own opinion then, to me if 14 Pro (heavily discounted right now) and 15 is about the same price at RM4.4k, then the 14 Pro is much more value for money and also same time superior even though it’s still on lightning port. All the other specs from: Always on display, 120Hz screen, better camera hardware are all quality day to day improvement.
Unless you absolutely want the USB-C and portrait of the 15 then go for the 15.

Apple still sell the 14, SE, normal AirPods 3/2, and several other items with lightning port, so it is not entirely dead yet. The whole iPhone user base right now is still lightning. And many general users don’t really care about the charging port, USB-C or lightning, as long it is small and provided in the box, and can charge their phone they are fine. In fact the USB-C transition is going to cost a lot confusion in existing iPhone user base who invested heavily in lightning. Like why their old cable suddenly cannot work etc. or why their husband/wife iPhone with lightning and yours is USB-C.

If they can top up to 5.5k for a 15 Pro then of course I’d recommend the 15 Pro cause it’s the latest and greatest. But for those budget conscious, the 14 Pro is still great.

Still stuck at 60Hz PovertyMotion in 2023.

Doesn’t really affect me since I don’t plan to get any 15 variant, but I’m a huge fan of the iPad Mini and this kills any hope of a 120Hz display for it anytime soon.

Damn iPhone 15 Plus has almost 3 hour better battery life than standard 15. And standard 15 has better battery than 15 Pro.



iPhone 15 Pro (A17) - 6 hours battery life
iPhone 15 (A16) - 6 hours 44 mins battery life
iPhone 15 Pro Max (A17) - 7 hours 13 mins battery life
iPhone 15 Plus (A16) - 9 hours 17 mins battery life

iPhone 14 Pro (A16) - 6 hours 46 mins battery life
iPhone 14 Pro Max (A16) - 7 hours 55 mins battery life

In comparison, last year for iPhone 14 vs iPhone 13 series battery life
iPhone 14 (A15) - 6 hours 44 mins battery life
iPhone 14 Pro (A16) - 6 hours 58 mins battery life
iPhone 14 Pro Max (A16) - 8 hours 5 mins battery life

iPhone 13 (A15) - 6 hours 49 mins battery life
iPhone 13 Pro (A15) - 6 hours 13 mins battery life
iPhone 13 Pro Max (A15) - 8 hours battery life

This battery test results cements my decision to get the 15 Plus! Yay!

lol history in the making

Plus suddenly longer lasting than pro max

Demm

That’s a very good point. By December 2024, Apple can no longer sell any device with lightning in the EU, which means the 15 series might be the default entry level iPhones or Apple will be forced to put USB-C into their older phones like the 14 to comply with this rule. It’s also likely they’ll introduce a SE3 with USB-C in March next year…

Don’t think they ever updated older models internally, except to update the box to remove charger and earphone for older iPhones like the 11 during the release of iPhone12. That to help save them $$$ and pretend it’s for the environment, I just don’t buy into their whole green and environmental initiative.

Most probably Apple will just not sell the 14 in the EU next year, since it’s just one region, and only sell the base 15 as entry model. While they can continue selling it to the rest of the world. If they were to update the 14 to USB-C, felt like they should have done it earlier along with the release of the 15.

Yeah, but they did just quietly sneaked in the USB C port into the AirPods Pro 2 though… but I suppose that is easier than retrofitting it into an iPhone. Let’s see… either way, it’s exciting

I did get the lightning AirPods Pro 2 earlier this year, so was kinda bumped when I heard that the AirPods Pro 2 USB-C is getting lossless for vision pro when the hardware is exactly the same. Not that I’m gonna pick up the vision pro hahaha. And why vision pro only.. but then vision pro not out yet so maybe Apple may reverse their decision next year.

Hardware wise between lightning n usb-c is they only added dust proof certification to the usb-c charging case while the rest of the hardware and chip is the same.

Down the line don’t think anyone can pick up the lightning version anymore, since Apple don’t sell that anymore. The AirPods Pro 2 with lightning gonna be rare. Maybe Apple will start selling the USB-C charging case only few months later like what they did with the MagSafe charging case

Hehe, my AirPods Pro 1 still going strong… was hoping Apple would release a black one so I’d have an excuse to change but they didn’t so I’m happy to hold on to mine

great choice👍

The Pro 2 with ios17 software is fantastic though hehe poison you. Overall sound quality and with this new update makes this Pro 2 even better.
You could buy a black case and it would be black.

Great choice bro. For General users, the Pro Cameras are kinda over the top for general use, and something like battery life is more important.

In addition, this is 1st year that standard non-Pro iPhone get 2x optical quality zoom, so having 2x optical zoom camera puts it on par with iPhone 12 Pro telephoto with iPhone 15 series better main+ultrawide, which to be fair is already enough for General users. 😆

Hehe, I am already using a black case for my Pro 1 but I want black buds too!

walla ! in terms of battery plus seems better then pro max

i dun think it is 2x optical zoom at all, iphone 15 does not have telephoto lens, the 2x zoom is just cropped image from the 48MP photos like how they did it for iphone pro series last year to add the 2x.

Oh I know, Apple is purposely calling it "optical 2x" zoom to show that it has significant upgrade for portraits, even if the device doesn't have a telephoto lens.

Just like iPhone 15 Pro Max doesn't have 7 telephoto lens, Apple still said that they implemented a 7-lens camera system on iPhone 15 Pro Max (implied through softwate)

Still "optical" quality 2x zoom is a big leap in camera performance for standard models

But if you can find a 14 Pro Max still in stock and cheap now, I’d argue that’s still a better buy than the 15 Plus

But usb-c port is a bummer. Can tell that iPhone 14 pro series now the resell value is low due to lightning port instead of usb-c now.

Well, yeah, I suppose that is a factor. But there are some folks who couldn’t care less about the USB C port - and those fellas are probably the ones that can get good deals on used iPhones now

been thinking to replace my mom iphone 6 plus with either iphone 13 pro max or iphone 14 pro max , because she love to take a picture and short video plus already get used to iOS -- so i will check those iphone 14 pro max later on

Need to quickly grab them before stock runs out

noted

just came back from switch, they have limited stock available for grab 🙊

just called switch evo mall bandar baru bangi , they also got a limited stock for iphone 14 pro max , they already reserved deep purple and space black color for me , so my mom can choose which color she likes , but im sure she will go for deep purple ( she already seen it before , she likes it )

Bro she's using iPhone 6 Plus and switching to Pro Max? The weight difference going to shock her for the Pro Max models.

My recommendation is either iPhone 14 Plus or iPhone 15 Plus, but more leaning to iPhone 15 Plus due to 15 Plus much improved camera and USB C.

A lot of elderly don't like using too heavy phones (from personal experience). But I also see that your mom already decided on a colour for 14 Pro Max so good luck to you 👍

thank you bro , plus thank you for your suggestion and recommendation

with price reduce rm850 definitely a good buy 🙊

Just wondering how much they are selling for iPhone 14 pro max now?

yes it's a good buy

Spigen cover and screen protector arrived just in time today, awaiting iPhone15 plus tomorrow

spigen never fail

checking, iphone 15 will release in store at 29/sept.

will iphone 13 and 14 reduce more price once ip15 hits on shelf?

Price on Apple online should have already reduced by now. No need to wait till 29 September. Since the announcement of iPhone 15, price is dropped already.

I ordered black Plus from Lazada 😬😄

The color looks so dull.

Not really.

Pink and blue both looks very nice.

But this green is also not that bad to be frank.

Japan iphone 15 is so cheap. U can get almost 800 ringgit lower without tax.

Sushi land is known to be the cheapest place to buy iPhone.

I just got lucky to be here. But no IP 15 pm or pro in stock at my place. Will try to see at other place

From the photos it seems like pink, black and green look more prominent, the yellow and blue look kinda white. We’ll have to wait till we see the actual demo sets next week, I guess.

blue and yellow do not look white but purely Becos of lightning.

Yeah, most reviewers said that too

Standard non-Pro iPhone 15 photo taking is better than S23 Ultra in normal scenarios 😮

But the 15 no series this year colour and feel are really nice I must say. Never see this in no series iPhone before. It does not look cheap as before and it feels as premium as pro series just like it is the younger ppl version.

Hehe, I'll weigh in after I see the actual units next weekend

can i know how much you bought for the spigen screen protector, thanks

~rm82 for 2 pieces.

Holy shit

Suddenly PLUS way better than pro/max and became relevant back



Dont know if APPLE deliberately nerf the plus or not

I won't say nerf Plus, more like 15 Pro Max too experimental with its experimental titanium build and experimental A17 Pro processor, which currently made the 15 Plus with A16, better battery life and aluminum build the better buy this year.

Though I doubt anyone with 15 Pro Max will regret their purchase, most probably they'll just charge the phone more often and put on a case for better protection.

And for anyone who waited out for reviews to come out, they know that 15 Plus is enticing buy this year 👀

imo 15 Plus in my eyes is like the best upgrade for users on the 12 Pro Max or older.

All the test results, you minus 2-3 hours. You will get actual daily usage of screen on time.
