QUOTE(YoungMan @ Apr 16 2024, 08:52 PM) Some ppl just buy for the sake of changing phone every year. To me I will use as long as I can, even changing battery is worth if the phone has no other issue. I am gravitating towards that option now… my iPhone 14 Pro is a special dual SIM unit bought from Apple HK. My iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max are eSIM and single SIM slot units from Singapore. I think I’ll go refurbish my 14 Pro’s battery and keep it as a spare phone …

QUOTE(MegaCanonF @ Jun 10 2024, 11:09 AM) ah, 1st day of using ios kinda miss the back buttons on android but pleasantly impressed with the smoothness and dynamic island . apps just seems to work better (albeit some of it are slower to load) compare to my previous android flagship . face ID is great as well, loved the double tap face id function in the apple store. Wished i moved to apple earlier . but just settling with non pro version for now . pro versions too expensive and some say pro more battery drain . I am on 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max, having come in from a 14 Pro and wife is on 15, as mentioned. This is what I’ve found, despite whatever the heck Apple claims: my 14 Pro (before its battery health went down to 98% of max) would outlast my wife’s 15 but there’s no way my 15 Pro can do that. Hers can last up to 2.5 days between charges, my 15 Pro can max last 2 days.

QUOTE(piscesguy @ Jun 11 2024, 11:55 AM) Apple screw kau Iphone 15 users. immediate become outdated in software features.  To me that’s OK… I can live without AI for now until the technology matures further. Let the kiasu ones be the lab rats.

QUOTE(attw @ Jun 12 2024, 07:59 AM) I still buy my iPhone via telco contract so I'm fairly ok with the price cuts, haha.. I might skip the next iPhone though.. my will to change phones and setup all the apps - especially the banking ones has deteriorated significantly with age  Having used the 14 Pro Max before going to the 15 Pro Max, I would say for my use case the battery life is about the same-ish. Both about 1.5 days standby with 8-9 hours SOT on WiFi/cellular mix. Definitely inferior to the 13 Pro Max! I feel ya bro! That’s the single one thing that I hate the most….

QUOTE(MegaCanonF @ Jun 12 2024, 11:47 AM) thats a nice way of looking at it. i try to reduce my screen time as well. maybe one of the reasons im ok with 60hz IP15. Dun wan to be glued to my phone 24/7. usually me after 9.30 will off phone data ady . go do other things (house chores / sports / reading / light console games ) b4 bed. But I’m glad to see you’re finally onboard the iOS platform. It’s not better or worse, it’s just different.

QUOTE(MegaCanonF @ Jun 12 2024, 11:55 AM) Yes ! need some getting used to, but so far I'm happy with it . ady become old unker, no time to customize2 stuff (the thing that android ppl brag about) my last android fon oso kept at original stock wallpaper / arrangement until today lel Same philosophy here. My Epal phones are relatively stock. One thing I do prefer iOS over Android is the relative (for now) safety when it comes to banking Apps because there are far fewer jailbreaks with Apples as opposed to Android devices.

QUOTE(MegaCanonF @ Jun 12 2024, 12:03 PM) I see. I used samsung flagships before . Their One UI secured with Knox so far ok. Never had any trouble. Can't comment for other androids on the market, though. But 1 problem since android allows apk. the apk files are what made ppl fall to the scams/hack on banking apps. If someone didn't know any better about random apk's, well you'll see them in the news tomorrow " xxx lost ... to scams ......" That’s exactly my big concern with Androids, especially for a tech dinosaur like myself…. Don’t forget, during my time, ‘IT skills’ meant “yes, able to touch type”…

QUOTE(jychow @ Jun 20 2024, 07:38 PM) I would think that any purchase now is not recommended. Wait for iPhone 16 and see what the AI final spec requirement will be. After watching the recent WWDC, their AI is actually not ready. It is just a concept and some functions will have to be implemented later into 2025. It is sad because my months old iPhone 15 plus is not eligible for this new AI. But that is Apple. They don't give extra hardware headroom. It is always about maximising profit. When I look at Samsung camp, their years old galaxy devices are getting AI treatment. My only advice now: DON’T BUY CURRENT iPhones. Just wait for iPhone 16 .  The iPhone 15 and 15 Plus run on the old A16 iPhone 14Pro chip…. It was already obsolete in terms of processor and processing power the minute it hit the market.

QUOTE(attw @ Jun 22 2024, 10:30 AM) I think if you already have it, it’s fine. The 15 and 15 Plus are both good phones in their own right, it’s just that it’s hard to recommend anyone to buy a new one now knowing full well it will miss out on what will likely be a definitive feature in the near future. Ya, that’s exactly it, it launched with Apple’s 2022 chipset in the fall of 2023, but back then everyone didn’t mind because the A Bionic chips were so ahead of the game last year’s chipset performances matched this year’s competition. No one saw it coming that Apple would exclude it from one part of OS updates in the future.. That’s how they justify us getting the newest models…
