I will think about it, the price very good indeed, the cheapest rm4039 apple authorised reseller and rm4099 thunder meamwhile rm4148 machines for ip16 pro 🙂
If you dont mind spending the extra 1k, you can get the 16 pro instead. The 120hz refresh rate makes the experience a whole lot better. And trust me when I say once you have used a 120hz panel, there is no going back to 60. Never. Of course the battery life is better, camera is better as well. Better processor and slightly bigger screen which I think is a sweet spot. You can enjoy media consumption and at the same time enjoy the small form factor. but it the 16pro is significantly heavier than the 16 that is for sure.
If you are going to be using your device for a long time, better to get the 16 pro. I am sure by next year 60hz display will be phased out and maintained only for the 'e' series such as the current ip16e.
However budget wise, 3k is a good price for 16, and the extra 1k is a good price for a 16 pro.
Went ahead and get 16 pro instead. RM3900 ish i guess ? I can use the airtag too. Thanks for the push. Heres to at least 5 years above before i am in the market again for upgrade 😃
cancelled the idea of waiting for series 17 to come out; its been speculated the line up will be even more expensive thanks to the whole US tariff thing.

Glad you made the right choice! Enjoy your device in good health. Excited to hear your thoughts once you receive your device.

its going to be epic for sure, its XR to IPhone Pro 16. Thats 7 year old tech vs 6 months old haha.
Voucher + Air Tag value (130+?) + Shopee coin value (300)
the other option with just cash back (?)voucher and not the 13% shopee coin voucher seemed like it made it cheaper but i lose around RM50+ -ish i think in coins
Not sure if this was shared before here, this popped up on my youtube feed last night haha.
Surprisingly the 16 series is a pretty good series for us looking for a upgrade from old device for both 16 and 16 Pro (i mean, thats not a tough one to beat to boot but with the way of Apple only release incremental upgrades each year to squeeze as much money as they can; this year's at least they release a tad more juice to the line up performance wise.
All in all seemed as future proof as it get before the 17 Series released while potentially could score higher points but with the potential cost of increased RRP thanks to the US Tariff ( could be wrong though; dont quote me on this)
