Of course. Who wants to wait? Not that Lazada Machines is giving any discounts for it.

People always want the latest flagship colour to that series. Also the Natural Titanium was iPhone 15 Pro’s flagship colour, so those upgrading from 15 most likely won’t choose the same colour for the 16 as well.
*
Am on the natural titanium 15PM now. Tbh I cant tell much a difference btw it and the XS Max Gold. rclxub.gif

So yeah, not going to buy this colour for my next iphone.

before getting the 16pm i was tempted to get pixel pro xl, after trying it in stores, it just feels not optimized..

If you go read up on the Pixel thread and see the rants there then you would know that the Pixel is a no go.

Is anyone of you using/owning any crossbody strap? Any recommended and durable type? Preferably it comes with a strap card. I need to get one for my upcoming Europe trip, Spain has too many pickpockets...

I saw a few brands like Mageasy, Moft, Galado, Elago, Rhinoshield etc. I'm thinking of Mageasy or Moft.
*
Im thinking of the same too for travelling. But wouldn't the phone be too heavy to be hanging from your neck with the strap? hmm.gif

Im actually thinking of getting a smartwatch that has google maps insteads so that I need not take the phone out of my pockets when Im finding my way around.

It's crossbody and I'm going to hide it inside my winter jacket. I already have an Apple Watch for notifications etc but I need to use my phone to take photos.
Wanna attach it to my body while taking photos, so that it's not easily snatched away. sweat.gif

I have been to Europe a few times and so far OK but this time it is Spain which is notorious for pickpockets, snatchers etc.  doh.gif Cannot cancel my trip now. laugh.gif
*
Ah... the usual hotspots Paris, Rome, Barcelona, the big cities.

Thats true, we need the phone for picture taking and other functions too like making a payment, whatsapp and the list goes on and on.

The lanyard must be long enough to be hanging from our neck and to reach into our jeans pocket comfortably to be able to function properly. Even with that also it would be inconvinient too as we are used to having the phone freely in our hands or in our pockets. But yeah, better be safe than sorry.

Let me know your findings... Thanks.

When making a payment, I try to use the Apple Watch whenever possible or a card I will keep handy.

That's why these days I prefer to travel within Asia. Asian countries are far safer than Europe. Again, Europe has its own charm, so I cannot escape it forever.
*
Haha... Cross border transaction fees and shitty exchange rates by banks are another bother too.

Can't avoid being targetted because you will stand out as a tourist for sure. TBH I never felt unsafe walking the streets of HCM or BKK or Phnom Penh even though people will advice tourists to stay away from the streets at night. Try walking around Gare Du Nord at night and you will know what we are concerned about. Sorry to say but Europe is really turning into a shithole with all the illegal migrants and homeless people.

Again... do update me what you find best ya.

Any chance you will be or have been in Florence / Rome / Milan / Cannes? Those are my upcoming destination. Any tips will be definitely appreciated.
Thanks for all the tips. I'm going to Italy soon and will try my own best to stay secure.
Regard cross border, I think Wise card tied to your Apple pay + watch may be the most economical.

Err... Check out the Europe tour thread instead. This thread is for the discussion of IPhones only.

As usual.. Don't derail the thread. Lol biggrin.gif

Yes… crossbody is a must. Even for camera gear.

My opinion since I have tried mageasy and moft.. moft is more functional as it has two separate hook points which I think it’s a better balance if force applied to it. (Aka thief snatching) and it detaches easily. Mageasy will block the charging port a little.

https://shopee.com.my/MOFT-Crossbody-Adjust...684.22542512780

Mageasy is all at single point.

https://forexengineer.com.my/products/magea...m-phone-lanyard
Also your case matters, you will need hard case. Silicon cases like spigen ultra hybrid where the bottom is a bit bendable, won’t work well. Some cases like Apple silicone case doesn’t work since no two holes.
*
Seems like its an adhesive sticker which sticks to your phone case. Wouldn't that be a pain to remove and not usable after we are done with it. hmm.gif

Any other options better than this? I always thought the lanyard is the type where the there is a strap which loops into a small hole in the phone casing and its done.... unsure.gif

Moft gives you two options..

One is sticks outside (don’t do this) and one is slips in your case and hooks to the two speaker grill holes.

See the pic I attached, you get better idea. Mageasy is using the same inner case but it goes via charging port hole.

Note: not my pictures, I took from Shopee review. My box throw away long time ago.

So is it tiring to have your 16pm hanging from your neck?

I don’t use it all the time.. only during travel or hiking… I guess might be so if not used to. But I also used to have a man purse/sling bag.. or photography bag or camera strap. So it’s okay for me.

Thanks for the input. thumbsup.gif

Gave up on clear case already unless of course u change case/phone in a short period of time. All the clear case used before will have some degree of yellowing over time even with the so called anti-yellowing statement imprinted.
*
I have a few friends in the manufacturing industry involving plastics. They told me that it is the norm of plastics to turn yellow. They can add in additives to slow it from turning yellowish but not prevent it. Then again, it all adds up to the costs of the the process and whether it is worth going through the process or not.

So I dont bother anymore. Buy a cheapo but quality case like Nillkin, use it for a few months, dispose and buy a new one.

For me, i just buy a good, reputable and military drop tested case(none clear case) and be done with it till the next phone change cycle  biggrin.gif .

If you buy other colours other than clear then you would not have the yellowish problem.

that why android user doesnt have this concern  , because changing battery only cost them RM100+Rm60 labour fees , while most of iphone user will pamper their battery health like a baby because to replace the battery need RM440  biggrin.gif
The company job is create something and make user less concern about their usage , this is how technology bring the convenient to user , not user need to learn how to use it
and the latest Vivo phone have the "direct power supply" feature for their phone which took this technology from Redmagic gaming phone

How it work? When u plugin charging cable , it wont charge up your battery , hence ur battery wont heat up , it will bypass the battery and directly supply to your phone and ur battery will stil remain the same battery level , actually this feature not only good for gaming la bro , it also good for people who use for Live Stream for a long period because it will save your battery health by ALOT
people like u just for social media , reply email and light use wont have big problem , but for those Live Streaming seller , their phone is from morning LIVE STREAM on tiktok til night , if let say without fast charge , they need to stop the live stream , charge 1hour45min to 100% and continue live stream again , with fast charging , take a short break of 30min and the phone already 100% , can continue live stream again .....or other option is while live stream while charging and get more HEAT to the phone, end up effect battery health more..... right?
Dont just stand on 1 side to look a thing bro , try stand more side and look it  biggrin.gif  If fast charge is not neccessary , why other company want to create it , impossible a company came out something that user dont need? right  tongue.gif

No need to pamper la... next year when the 17PM comes out you are going to change anyway. laugh.gif

Haha.. but they will get triggered. But yeah the discounts are massive if buy just a little bit later.
