yes. Nowadays more and more telcos offer eSIM already. I have both my nos on eSIM now so my physical sim slot is technically free.

I would find that iPhone with both physical and esim slots are better than two physical sims slot iPhones. 🤪

I just switch back to physical SIM. 😅

eSIM is too troublesome if you frequency change phone.

Does the apple store at TRX accept trade-ins when doing online pre-order ?

That’s why the current version of iPhone selling in bolehland or lion city that has eSIM+physical sim is good. If there is eSIM option as the main no then stick to eSIM and leave the esim/physical sim slot for 2nd sim.

Yeah.. news saying first time pro models assemble in India.

Damn..... considering my wife's 15 assembled in India.. gotta question the quality. Not sure to pull the trigger or not now.
*
I'm not sure what's the big deal about it being assembled in China or India. It should be assembled to Apple's standards and that should be uniform across board. Was there a problem with your wife's 15?

QUOTE(fruitie @ Sep 11 2024, 11:47 AM)
Yeah, I only have a power bank as a spare, but I hardly get to use it, to be honest.
*
Haha, yeah, good to have them just in case but because I travel quite a bit for work it's a bit of a hassle to carry one around laugh.gif

QUOTE(andrewtho @ Sep 11 2024, 12:11 PM)
more importantly, are you getting this time? attw
*
Ermm, yes, but undecided on the channel or when to get it just yet. I likely won't preorder though..

QUOTE(NagaK @ Sep 11 2024, 12:27 PM)
I loved Android but I'm seriously adoring to get iPhone to get into ecosystem again. From 7 plus now 16 Apple iOS and iPhone are far more better by look at it. If i hate also can sold easily since resell value for iPhones are still top
*
I don't think iPhone values hold that well anymore given the statement below by a fellow seasoned bro on this topic, haha...

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Sep 11 2024, 12:34 PM)
Haha.. most likely not. TBH Im actually quite dissapointed with the massive discounts on the current 15PM. Seems like Iphone has lost its mojo already.
*
Hear hear biggrin.gif I guess if one cares about 2nd hand value then they should either get one on Telco contract or not be an early adopter anymore.

Do you all trade-in your old phones at the Apple Store?
*
You might get 200-300 more selling it outside privately, but that might not be worth the extra hassle these days

QUOTE(andrewtho @ Sep 11 2024, 03:43 PM)
haha i feel you.

i feel like iPhone still okay in terms of value. the Galaxy Fold 6 is only 6k now, less than 2 months since launch 🫣 thinking of moving out of iOS already.
*
I think we can only ascribe the 2nd hand value of our phones to how much a buyer is willing to pay for it, and after all these years, it still remains that people are still a little more willing to pay for a used iPhone? Well, that's just my opinion biggrin.gif

QUOTE(jiaen0509 @ Sep 11 2024, 05:43 PM)
Curious, everybody is looking for the color of the year?
*
Yes! Otherwise don't but new iPhones, hahaha!

QUOTE(soitsuagain @ Sep 11 2024, 08:19 PM)
I think the hype and frenzy is very lacking for this 16 Pro series. But my guts is still telling me it will be a huge queue on the 20/9 at TRX. Even bigger than the opening day  laugh.gif  hmm.gif
*
Given the queue and hype at TRX when they opened officially, I'm sure you be right...

Just to add, if I wanted anything other than a point and shoot camera/video, I would have gotten a Sony a7Iv… oh wait, I already have a Sony a7Iv….

Hahaha, bro just flexing biggrin.gif
But that's a dem good camera...

QUOTE(westlife @ Sep 12 2024, 10:01 AM)
only if u are buying this iphone as ur first iphone and u have no previous old photos/videos to transfer over...

else 256gb is unlikely to be sufficient... it will also limit the amount of videos/photos u can take at one time...
i would think that 512gb is the minimum one should get it...

but good thing is that now iphone pro series all come with 256gb as the starting storage option so no limitation that u cannot do certain thing with 128gb version in iphone 14 pro series...
*
For a non gamer like me and with most of my photos and what not on iCloud, the base storage iphone has always been sufficient - since iPhone 4 8GB, hahaha....

I wonder if they will eventually remove the sim slot and force us all to e-sim, like on the latest cellular iPad Pro

In theory, yes you are right.

With iPhone, yes you are right too.

With third party tool, then there is a possibility to achieve that by breaking the encryption.

Yup, I find truly no reason to using eSIM for main. It was good for temporary, for example overseas usage.

I hope physical SIM can be remain.

Last time got video show assemble in India is not that good when they open up, it is not that tidy as assembly at China, even though no impact to usage.

Not for Maxis eSim though. I converted my physical sim on my 11 pro to eSim on my 15 pro max via the eSim transfer function on the phone itself.

Took me less than 5 mins. No need to go online website or anything like that. It was a seamless experience.

Though I'm using Digi eSIM and it requires me to go to Digi Centre to get it transferred to a new device, I still find eSIM is quite convenient after using it for 4 years now. I have two active lines so one of them must be an eSIM, so far not too bad.
