I’m trying to resist the temptation of iPhone 16 Pro Max. I think I can do it. I guess we gonna be in the first batch this time and if getting it from TRX will be an experience.

I'm currently using 15 Pro Max and to be honest it is underutilized in my case.

I’m using 15 Pro Max now but most of my activities are still on 12 Pro Max, already changed a battery back in Sept 2022. Now only 82% battery health after two years. I use it quite brutally though.

Anybody gonna upgrade from iPhone 15 Pro/Max? It doesn't entice me to buy one; I will skip it this round.

Yeah but it is an incremental upgrade in this case, cannot justify for me.

If your bill is not high or paid by company etc, then it is better not to take any bundled plan. Based on the 15 series throwing price war experience, it is much cheaper than RRP. Not worth to get any telco plan.

Pre-order won't see the real stuff until day 1 launch.

Nope. This won't happen to Apple.
Demo units only during the event.

Unless I'm wrong.

You need a powerbank.

I also only use MagSafe powerbank but my phone has enough battery so I hardly use it.
Oh it never goes up? Why didn’t I notice this?

Next time I see mine but I think it charges while I use. Mine is a Baseus.

Yes, mine is also a Baseus. I bought it some time back and love its convenience.

Yeah, I only have a power bank as a spare, but I hardly get to use it, to be honest.

Err.. 15 Pro Max which was supposed to be lightest Pro Max is 221g... 16 Pro Max is 227g and with a 0.2" larger screen than 15PM.
I think it is reasonable.

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.

Not all telcos have, I think Malaysia only Maxis?

Nowadays no need to go to Maxis Centre to get eSIM transferred.

New QR, at least this is what Digi told me.

New 15PM is also not expensive, I bet the trade-in price gonna be suck.

Eh, not bad oh considering the prices drop like waterfall.

They will release at the very last minute...

Congrats guys. I was having a nap when the PO started and God bless me, hope I can resist the temptation.

My mom was saying I could pass her my old 12PM which I’m using as a secondary phone now if I intend to upgrade my primary phone - 15PM. I feel bad pulak, if I were to give it to her I would give her the 15PM instead. Let me see how.

Buy telco set only if your monthly bill is high or paid by company, otherwise it’s not worth to bundle with telco plan anymore. It’s cheaper to buy it outright if you can wait for a while considering the 15 series prices were like waterfalls earlier, I believe the 16 series will have the same fate too. I was also the day 1 purchaser all this while but I don’t think I will repeat this time if I were to upgrade my current iPhone to the 16PM. If you cannot wait, then just grab on day 1.

Telco units will also tie you with a contract.
