QUOTE(vin39 @ Mar 28 2025, 01:29 PM) bro instead of screen size, why not go for the 16 pro instead? I think for the money 16 pro is much more worth it. If youre getting 16 then its ok. but for 16 plus I would personally just add abit more to get the 16 pro. good deals too. just curious, whats the best offer so far for 16 Pro ? I am the type that keeps their device as long as possible; my XR (got its battery changed last year) served me well but i want a bit more out of my device nowadays. Be it more camera performance,storage,processor and battery.EDIT : Minus the weight of a PRO model lol, haha. XR weighted the same as a PRO model, i got hold of a S24 recently, i liked the weight (167g) , Iphone 16 = 170g This post has been edited by BeautyJester: Mar 28 2025, 02:18 PM |

QUOTE(vin39 @ Mar 28 2025, 02:37 PM) 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. ya i was planning to get 17 Pro this year when it came out but thats like 6 months from now...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. https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPho...&idPhone2=13315 However budget wise, 3k is a good price for 16, and the extra 1k is a good price for a 16 pro. and i am tired of browsing iphone subreddit / shopee iphone price. Just want to get it done with. |

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 😃If you are going to be using your device for a long time, better to get the 16 pro.

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) This post has been edited by BeautyJester: Mar 31 2025, 08:59 AM |
