Anyone with the official clear case can give a bit of feedback? Is the case slippery? Cuz sometimes when my hands are sweaty or oily the spigen ultra hybrid T becomes a bit uncomfortable and ‘geli’ to hold sad.gif

I am surprise too, got some caveat or something. I don’t feel that’s the case while I been using. Been carrying power bank around. For 16pm battery life been excellent and yet to bring power bank till now. Also with usbc, can easily steal power bank from others. Hahaha
Not sure how you define slippery. It’s clear case plastics (don’t know what other material), which there’s no pattern on case to allow “grip”. That’s to be expected if your hands are sweaty or oily.

You need to get cases with grooves or patterns to allow grip or case surfaces that’s not smooth type like clear case.

I think slippery is not the right word, it should be sticky haha like the sweat and finger grease makes the case sticky.

Apple official clear case is hard case, it is freaking slippery, I buy during 15PM time, will not consider ever anymore.

If your hand is often oily, you are not suitable to use any clear case, you should look into matte surface case instead.

Ya I think I’ll have to skip those transparent cases. This year the case options sucks man since most manufacturers doing cutout sad.gif

Rm174 + some shipping fees. If you view value proposition like it’s a screen protector + AppleCare. It’s worth it. And AR is really good.

Not many sp brand offer free replacement. Just pay shipping which is like usd 8. I used to use HODA sapphire for 13PM, crack so many times. Then switch flolab till now 16PM.
I strongly suggest choose any brand, go for AR. it’s really different.
Now flolab got an installer frame thingie. Can’t get it wrong.

My ocd.. unbox immediately apply SP… don’t even turn on phone. Problem with this… if can’t turn on phone…. Jialat die standing.

I’m a huge fan of Hoda, been using their sapphire glass for my 13PM for 3 years now only crack. Their 16 Series actually does block the right side of the screen. Using the XHS image thing to check border is not very accurate, just go to the camera app and there’s 4 corners in the viewfinder, Hoda’s AR TG(the one I’m using) covers the right side a bit, left side is completely fine.

Spigen doesn’t block any of the screen cuz their TG is always much smaller, Hoda pretty much covers the entire front part of the phone, Spigen just covers the screen part. Also Hoda’s AR is really very good, don’t get much reflection. Might just use it until flolab’s new revision comes out.

i think alot of other company is working hard to get slim black border  , hopefully will see more company came out slim border before 2025
By the way , by using AR Glass , is that any downside? besides the price  biggrin.gif
*
No I don’t think there’s any downside aside from the right block border slightly blocking the screen (very minimal), but then again I think this is an issue with all the HODA’s 16 series.

If u don’t mind this then I highly recommend u get it over the Spigen ones. The Spigen ones are pretty basic and doesn’t cover the entire front screen. Because it doesn’t go edge to edge there will be a lot of dust that will get caught on the side of the TG. But that’s just my experience la.

did notice my screen flickering randomly and i went to apple trx for checking, they told me my phone still new and their so called “depo” still not able to further check on my device, end up they only can help to do a clean format on my phone and not to restore any apps from icloud, so far the issue seems not happening again

not sure the culprit is it due to restore all the apps frm icloud causing it but i do notice after this clean format and manual install back my alls my battery life like can tahan longer, before this i feels like the phone abit laggy and battery life drop faster
*
I noticed this flickering issue a couple of times too, doesn’t happen very often. I think I’ve seen it like 3-4 times during my 2 weeks usage. Unsure how to replicate it, seems to be happening very randomly.

TAOBAO Sunbay iphone 16 case

saw this case on taobao looks interesting

I am currently using this case that has the camera control button and it works pretty well, better than supcase.

I also bought a couple of transparent cases like the Spigen one with the camera control button, they all work pretty well and much cheaper than Spigen ones

I bought 2 different colors and one of the camera control button not very sensitive, the other one works fine. The button can be removed so I just switch the working camera button to the case I want to use.

The video by seller shows the tempered glass or worse, the display surface higher than the side wall of the casing. Zero lips!

I’m using tempered glass with this case and yes it has very minimal
lip but the tempered glass is not higher than the side wall of the case.

For anyone that likes simple and slim case I can’t recommend this case enough, phone feels very slim and very grippy. The case has camera control button too, it’s my favourite case for my 16PM so far.

Get this instead, this has AR. I’ve been using it for a week and it’s amazing. Not too expensive, and the class really covers edge to edge, even the earpiece speaker grill is covered so dust wont enter. AR feature works well and the installation was super easy with 0 bubbles. Can’t recommend this enough.

It needs to be region US
There’s no major issue here. It’s just a minor change in the app store’s currency unit. The app store still uses the Malaysian Ringgit (RM).

On a side note, you can always revert to the previous setting if you prefer.

Actually device region can remain Malaysia, just the language needs to be English(US)

Thats weird, maybe have to wait a while. I changed my language to English (US) and the beta program did not appear immediately. I waited about 15-30 seconds (swipe around home screen) and when i check again the beta program is available. But i doubt the region change affects anything so as long as it works should be no problem.

On a side note, i have no idea what additional features does this AI thing have hahaha like no difference from SIRI, just new animations.

The new Siri animation need to enable AI only available? The one that is like a ring around...

I'm still stuck cause no Wi-Fi access until I'm home ._.

I hope Siri doesn't MIA now with this 18.1 update... after I change from 13PM to 16PM, Siri always MIA sigh. Need to disable and re-enable Talk to Siri before it will respond to me. Always use it to open my autogate "Hey Siri, open auto gate". But my friend now taught me can use driving focus mode then set shortcut to action button.

Gonna explore that... I've not utilized focus mode until now  laugh.gif

Ya I think need to enable AI only can get the animation but I could be wrong.

Also this update does not fix the screen flickering issue, I still get it sometimes on lockscreen. Quite annoying.

You should check with CS again.

I’ve never encountered this issue before.
If you’re using a MacBook with the M1 or a newer processor, it should also support it. I haven’t updated my MacBook yet.

I agree, the rewrite is very good. 😊

the flickering happens randomly, if bring to CS they'll ask me to replicate and i dont think i can.
Most commonly it happens on the lockscreen, like u press power button to wake up the phone and the screen will flicker once. Doesnt happen every time, just once in a while.

It's honestly very very very hard to capture on camera, cuz it happens randomly.
Even on reddit many returned their phone and got a replacement and the flickering will happen again after some time. I suspect its a software issue and probably all 16 models are affected, but some users might not notice it cuz didnt pay much attention. The flickering happens for like half a second, if u blink u might missed it haha

Maybe I didn’t notice then. 😅

Now I am more concern on my create sticker cannot save. 😅 It just appear a few seconds and later vanish.

Ya like yesterday i was in my Photos app, then i closed it and lock the phone.
When I click the power button to wake my phone up, the screen flickered and a smaller version of my Photos app appeared for like a split second on the lower half of the screen. It happened very very fast but i managed to see it happen. It's really weird, some people say that turning off AOD will fix the issue, but AOD is very useful for me so i guess i'll just have to live with it till they fix this bug.
