What model are you using now?

time to upgrade 16pro from 15pro ,currently my 15pro battery health@100% @45 charge cycle

You hardly use ur phone? That’s very low usage for one year old phone if urs is getting at around first release time.

I’ve been holding back my purchase on 15 pro as 16 pro js 2 months away…

My old man eyes are not suitable for 13 mini already 🥲

Good move. Just 2 months of wait u will get the latest techs instead of regrets.

Just get a 16 pro max instead. Mini is nice but if u are older than 40 years old better get pro max.

my 13 mini with only 1.5 year of use already 89% battery haihz.

hows urs, I am charging 2x a day now lol.

same model and plan as me haha. my Face ID a bit rosak already, and battery memang shot

i'm willing to skip buying with Maxis and queue at Apple Store @ TRX for the true iPhone launch experience this year too lol

Time to ... monitor another year again before iPhone 17 series announce

Holding up with my iPhone 14 Pro 128GB first until next breaktru.

iPhone 15 pro/S23U

Aiyo… you’ve fallen into the same trap as me… I upgraded incessantly from the X to the 12 then, 13 and 14 and now 15 …. but I vowed to myself that I’ll break this vicious cycle and resist the temptation…

IMHO, that one had a good balance of battery life…. Compared to my 15Pro

probably will skip this version and aim for 17, 16 probably is the enhanced version of 15

SO you not buying iPhone 16 Pro this round?

I will resist .... until I cannot resist anymore, or until there's a good deal with huge discounts

Never say never right, but I will try my best

Nice, hope to see you join the bandwagon mate.

Don't tempt me lah.... you so bad....

Wait for the official release, then we can continue to discuss.

Main reason I decided to upgrade because of the current iPhone 15 pro overheat problem and also the chip limitation on future upgrade related to AI. This phone simply not future proof enough to my liking. So an enhanced and more refined version of iPhone 15 pro is definitely a YES for me.

Not to mentioned improved in camera too Pro Max too big in my hand and I dislike Apple put a more inferior telephonic camera on the iPhone 15 pro. At least in iPhone 16 Pro, both Max and Pro version will using same camera, i feel much better

Hopefully you see a good justification from my reasoning to upgrade

Actually, the more you put it that way, the lesser my resistance is ... damn it bro....

I have both the 15 Pro (and I don't like the overheating problem too, but I'll reserve my comments until the 16 Pro comes out) and the 15 Pro Max (hardly used, still BNIB, it's my Aussie number phone), so I'll probably keep the 15 Pro Max and trade the 15 Pro in when the 16 Pro comes out (but will do so only after all the gremlins are sorted out, and the sales are on).

Hehe..

Yea, i will keep the S23U too, because so far I am pretty satisfied with the S23U as my entertainment phone. So, I don't really need another big phone like Pro Max.

The overheating issue has been a big bummer to me, it gave me the impression that Apple was rushing to release a titanium phone without properly tested it. A half-baked phone... which is why you see iPhone 15 pro's values dropped like crazy even in Malaysia market.

That is why I often had this bad impression on them whenever they released their product the 1st time on something new, always screw up somewhere and can't be resolved by software updates.

So, the only solution will be upgrade the phone

I bought my 15 Pro & Pro Max recently, probably 2 or 3 months ago ... and every time I get a new phone, I have to go thru the hassle of re-activating all my digital banking tokens and re-entering the pairing to my Porsches (yes, yes, 1st world problems I know, but the Porsche App is especially finicky and requires me to login and verify my data via a laptop, before I can link my cars to my new phone). It's really a hassle and a half... that thought alone is probably enough to keep my weakening resolve from crumbling entirely ... but we will have to wait and see, I guess...

Now I understand your pain point.

Yea, have to wait and see and then see which one frustrated you the most. From what I see, you can keep iPhone 16 Pro long term and those set up will be the one time set up until years to come

And that's ONLY if the 16 Pro fixes all the flaws that the 15 Pro has, and more... honestly, iPhones are now taking the track Audi did with their cars ... different lengths of the same sausage. They all look the same, the features are minimally incremental and the price is, well, we all know Apple.

Not really

Now 87% Battery health and sometime cant even withstand a day of usage thanks to our telco unstable 4G/5G

If you think the 14Pro is bad, wait till you try the 15Pro bro...

Literally, I haven't signed up for a plan before and I prefer buying my phone directly from the Apple Store.

Despite the fact that my health battery is still at 85% and there are no issues, the condition of the battery is degrading to a certain extent.

I wait till Apple implement M series chip into their phone line up

Tired of they like to squeeze toothpaste method now

iPhone 15 pro lineup like boast their capability of running Resident Evil 4 remake & Death stranding but actually the FPS like not so good also.
Then normal 15 does not benefit USB 3.x speed, heck =.=

Then now say only Pro lineup can go Apple AI :\
Bummer...

I think the biggest issue is that with ever more powerful chips, the battery life, no matter how dense the cells are repositioned, will drain faster than slower models. My waifu's 15 (not Pro) outlasts my 15 Pro...

Totally agree with what you said. That is why it does not really excites me anymore but more on providing me the best experience and convenience to my day to day life.

And yes I also plan to go buy iPhone at apple store just to experience it

Duplicated. Sry

im using iphone 11 pro max currently, should i change to 16pro max? worth it?

I'm on 15 pro max.. plan to handover it to my wife who is using iphone 11 pro max, which in turn to be handed over to my kid who is currently on iphone XR

Just camera alone it is a significant upgrade that is worthy to proceed.

Not quite the case for me, since I also just got onboarded to the Sony a7c and A7iv systems.

dang, i think way past time hahah (i think 3yrs is a good time to upgrade already, since that's how long a "cycle" lasts now)

you'd be getting a lot of features even when you jump to 15 pro max, so 16 pro max would bring even more benefits

This post has been edited by KaiHD: Jul 20 2024, 10:04 PM

if AI features is US only for the time being below slowly rolled out to other countries, then buy 16 also no point .... you pay but dun get full capabilities ... smtg to ponder

my 15 Pro battery still 100% and I'm day 1 user

Given the current ‘power’ of the iPhones, to be frank, if one is really on budget, even 5 years upgrade cycle is also fine. Most of the ‘upgrade’ one can feel immediately is camera. Else, yes, 3 years is also a fair cycle for upgrade.

Planning to buy 16 pro max for my father as a surprise gift. Overkill for the following use case?

He is retired 60yo, currently using iPhone 11 which is showing signs of aging like poor mobile reception (E mode when outside). He likes taking photos when traveling but constantly need to delete photos due to limited 64gb storage space. No video games but spends many hours scrolling social media.

Jan 2022 till now. Battery 80% 😅😂

Unless miracle appear - special iPhone release, for example flip or fold phone, else skip. 😅

This is 5 years gaps, yes worth it.

iPhone 15 to 16 i will predict just minor update with little bit of extra hardware and features. small changes

17 might much worth. guessing from improving those Ai , fixing /features iOS 18 , camera , wifi 7.. likely to tackle what not good with 16.

I am very much looking forward with IP16 pro and AI. If I can tell it to do tasks it will be great. To me, AI photography is also important as there are just too much junk in my camera reel.

Besides, me and my wife (IP13 and IP13m) sure going to get at least 1 Iphone16. If they screw up it will be the 15 pro i guess.

woah mind to share how you preserve your battery?

I bought 15PM after over a month of the release day, and it's now at 95%

Not for iPhone 16 series for sure. 😜

Current phone Pixel 5. Any tips for new ios user? Ive been using Symbian - Android. Now 40+ years old. Hahahah

just use it, unless you are super power user with OCD die die need to change every single minute detail like font or sound or "transition" or must have certain widgets here or there, with customised launcher control, or jaga every 1% of battery drain per hour, a Max Iphone will last all day+next day, do everything. A non max iphone will last whole day.

Most importantly is backup your whatsapp and if necessary you may need to transfer the chats manually. By right nowadays whatsapp got feature to port over, but during my time in 2022 it was just released and didn't work well enough for my wife. I used a paid app to backup manually and transfer after setup in 2020 for my own Android to IOS.

Whatsapp can only be backed up by cloud on the IOS so I'd straight go for apple icloud RM5 per month for 50GB for whatsapp and other basic backups.

The rest you can figure it out as you get the phone.

surprise to see this thread is already building up lol!

might skip 16 and continue use current ip15PM.
let see after 2-3 years.

So how many model is Apple gonna reuse the main camera 1/1.28" ?

Now has 14P/PM & 15P/PM
Another 2 years ?

Was on iphone since 3gs... generally skip one gen... last iphone is 13 pro. Supposed to ge5 15 pro, but read about production issues due to relocation etc.... there wasn't enough push factor to get the 15 pro max, so try android with oppo n3 flip for a different experience.... sadly.. didn't like android interface in the oppo.. although hw and camera is good... so I will go back to ios with 16pro max.... maybe just 16 pro for that more smaller footprint

Yup. So save money. 😅

Iphone 15 pro max battery life and overheat issues serious ke

not facing any issue on this

Well known issue and battery also don’t last long as well.

Am using the 15PM. No overheat or battery life issue also.

Didnt face any any overheat issue so far. Battery life is fantastic, can last 2 days on normal to light usage. If heavy usage, 1 day plus easily. I have not been able to finish up the battery in 1 day even after i tried my best, lol. Zero gaming on my phone btw.

worth to wait iphone 16 PM or grab the 15PM now?

Bird in hand is more than 2 in bush
Get it 15PM now.

if money is not the issue, just wait for the 16 bang

Have had the 15 Pro Max for 11 months now, never experienced any overheating or battery issues. While the battery life is not as stellar as that on the 13 Pro Max, I would say it’s marginally better than the 14 Pro Max for me and can get through 1.5 days on moderate usage (I define moderate usage as 4-5 hours screen time a day, haha)

At the very least might as well wait for the 16 launch first since it’s just about a month away.

money isn't a problem because already plan to get new phone since my samsung s22 plus having green line issues , waiting samsung for 2month++ for offering discount change screen but samsung malaysia stil fail to delivery discount repair for samsung s22 PLUS user , that really make me so dissapointed with samsung malaysia and i really plan just avoid and boikot samsung phone in future

How much were you quoted for a screen change?

Anyways, yeah, if you can wait then probably just wait till next month otherwise you can look out for some good deals during the 8.8 sale

Previously they offer just paying for labour charge rm86 to replace a green line issues , but only 1 month period , after this they stop the campaign (at that moment my phone stil no green screen)

For the s22plus screen retail at rm690 , samsung india even can offer FREE replacement of screen for their loyal user , but Samsung malaysia is doing shit , we also didnt request for 100% free but at least u offer a 50% discount we as a user also happy already , because the rate to get green line issues for samsung phone is too high , almost 6/10 user having this issues after the software update , that is so horrible....


So far iphone 15pm 256gb at the shopee/lazada price around rm5.5k , and if i grab now , i believe the 15pm will drop another rm1k after ip16 release , while if i could wait for new ip16pm 256gb will be price at 6.4k++ ..... Stuck in the middle LOL , but i think waiting for ip16pm will be a better choice..

Ya, good decision. Just hang on a bit, it’s about a month or less away now

Don’t bother about the Samsung anymore. With the Apple store now in Msia everything is going to be easier. Last time when we send in for repair and if we don’t agree to their terms we would have to call Apple and wait for Apple to send the guidelines to repair. AASP really can’t do much not to mention nearly everything has to be shipped from Singapore making repair time much longer than it should be.

15pm 256gb was like 4.8k or 4.9k during 8.8 sales

Since we already have apple store, high chance we will get the 1st batch released too?

come back when Apple made the next iPhone announcement then you got your answer

Is currently the 15PM much cheaper than last year when it first launched?

My Iphone 12 battery health is below 80% and I am deciding if it is worth to replace the battery and use it for 1-2 more years. That would cost me RM400+

Based on Maxis or Digi website my 12 trade in value is still around RM1k, so thinking if I should trade in for a new phone before the value drops to nothing.

Will the 15PM price drop significantly once the 16PM release next month?

Yes, much cheaper if you compare the price when it first arrival in MY. With those special event in shopee/LZD, you might able to get it below 5k. And since you mentioned Maxis/Digi, I'm assuming you're going to sign the 24 mths contract? That will be even cheaper after trade-in. Anyhow 15 series drop quite significantly if you compare with other series, so it is best to change it instead of renew the battery.

And normally when 16 series launch, Authorized dealer will slowly drop the pro-max series. So if you're looking for PM, it is best to purchase before 16 launch.

do you all think Msia will be first batch this round since we finally have apple store now

Yes. Almost confirmed will be.

Iphone 18 ?

how about those machines or switch shop? will be first batch too?

If first batch it will be by country, so the rest of telcos or authorised resellers will get them first batch too.

Using the 13 Pro Max, can wait one more year until the supposed iPhone redesign coming with the iPhone 17.

Unless Apple pulls something out of their hat and shows off some compelling features coming with the 16.

So the leak color is kind of confirmed…

If the color is as rendered on this link, then it's actually not too bad

Link

Like Bronze Gold, but I not fancy this color.

if rose gold it will be really nice.

Rose Gold release before, I don’t think it will repeat.

This year color look so so, lucky I no plan to buy. 😅

same old same old

that "leaked" apple invite was fake lol
