Only for Pro series as usual.

Was it available on the 15 pro?

Most of their selling points doesn’t cater to Malaysian much. Only selective group of people mainly..

Trade in for iPhone 11 Pro Max up to 1150. Seems decent?

Yes, Pro Motion is not a new thing. It is there since iPhone 13 Pro series.

Their Pro motion 120hz was first introduced on 13 pro and pro max.

iPhone 16 and 16 Pro lineup is cheaper than 15 lineup maybe thanks to PMX😂

Racun ready. Also this time we get same treatment as US market which is really surprised.
Also for trade in option on Apple website.

Lol I slept off during Pro announcement just a boring.
Current smartphone launches nothing groundbreaking same for Sammy and recent Google Pixel 9 launch...

skipping the iphone 16 pro max?

I find nothing interesting for me too.. not tempted at all.. I guess this is the year to skip the iphone .. have not missed since 11 pro to 15 PM each year.. I feel that Apple is doing catch up again on the whole AI thing on smart phones.

They finally ran out of Apple Park buildings to film so now the video team is burning through San Francisco landmarks

Apple Store already open at Malaysia, it is actually predictable same release time. 😅

All boring, and I am kind of regret buying the Google pixel 9 Pro XL, not as good as I thought. I give it second chances see how it is on Android 15 later.

I will not buying the iPhone 16 series any of it.

The only maybe interesting me is the Apple Watch Ultra 2 new black color.

How many phones you have? You using them all concurrently?

3 for the moment.

- Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max (main phone back)
- Google Pixel 9 Pro XL (still thinking selling or not)
- Oppo Reno 10x zoom (backup phone)

The Pixel 9 Pro XL is originally bought as a backup phone?

Because last year was at USD 4.7
Today is at 4.3

lol 16 so boring

For everyone that are interested to know why Andrew regretted buying the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL.

I’ll either wait it out next few months (more discounts?) or skip buying the iPhone 16 pro max. Not much changes really.

I read online the phones are made in India now including the pro series?
I remembered when I asked about iPhone 15 last year, the sales person said still made in China.

yes, am still thinking to change from my 15p to 16p without apple intelligence only the chip gets better (without much purposes)

Means should be available at all my
Apple Store by today?
