Really curious how those console games looks like in iOS cos Android don't have them, that's why I install them, going to delete them after playing Abit. I get dizzy playing 1st person perspective games.
Agreed. 128gb is too little, I tried installing Genshin Impact need around 30gb games data, luckily Genshin Impact also available on Android so I uninstall it on my 16e & instead install other games that are not available on Android like the Resident Evil series. First time iPhone user so don't willing to spend too much on higher end Pro or Pro Max series scared regret if the iOS is not to my liking. TBH I still prefer Android settings & UI better overall compared to iOS. 😂

Hahaha, I am the opposit, maybe coz long time iOS user.
But yeah, if Windows even worst, storage will be full in no time.

Safety first cos inside it's my Sweat blood pain tears & years decades of RM inside the bank app. Plus I have no idea if PIDM works if scam hack cases

Not being able to sideload is already a plus point. You have no worries of accidentally clicking on any APK files.

Well i must say it's true, only installed apps thru playstore, last year warded due to my bariatric gastric bypass surgery and ive heard the frontdesk keeps talking bout me, even ive heard they check out my facebook and emails, then i asked my wife to shutdown the phone, then suddenly ive heard they said he shut off his phone, damn i knew my phone been hacked
*
How does this happen, if you don't mine sharing? You installed something from the hospital front desk?
Also, is there a way to require password for apps installed through Playstore? Can sometime noticed that parents phone have some apps installed, maybe unintentionally through ads.

After this I'm not going to buy another iPhone again, the UI is bad, no dark mode like Android, the Smart Invert function is similar to dark mode but very buggy. The gestures very weird swipe very hard only can work unlike Android swipe from right to left or left to right so easily. iOS is the most overrated BS thanks to apple army of fake & paid YouTuber influencers celebrities promoting iPhone.

Sell it bro. Price of new iPhone is dropping for now.

Bro. Do you know how much the trade in price for my 16e, only 1500, I can't accept it. For a Fon not even a month. I'm currently using it with my bank apps cos face id is easier faster to log in, also since everything everyone everybody keeps saying iOS is the most secure unhackable Fon os in the Galaxy so I'm using it primarily as a Bank app Fon only. For everything else I use Android Fon.
*
If trade in of course low value. If really want to sell then find direct buyer. Otherwise like you said, just keep it for banking purpose.
No OS is unhackable, just that which one is less likely.

Elder will install spotify MOD plugin , whatsapp MOD plugin or any MOD APK? Serious  biggrin.gif  , my elder parent using android for over 7 year without any problem , just educate them well and let them know what can do what can't do , once received any SMS , Whatsapp chat with LINK , screenshot and let us know before u want to proceed  , and elder parent want to install any apps , they normally will request son/daugther to done for them , that because the apps need to do some registration and login which they dont know most , now my parent will just call me and let me know there is some SMS from bank and what should they do the next before they actually do anything.

And the end it stil come down to the personal who use and how they use the tools. From my own personal experience , most of the time elder get scam by the Phone call or any web that asking them to filled up their Personal detail such as bank account , debit credit card more than those malware attack thru the apps. Ter-download the APK , allow the permission , then start to do some filling information , then your bank money gone  biggrin.gif , its not like u download the APK then ur bank money directly gone without go to the next step

Is there a way to require password to download any apps in Playstore like in iOS?

It's worth to extend 1 more year for the warranty but rm900 plus for me expensive, no for me 😣

Another way is become Senheng member and buy iPhone from them. You'll automatically get another year of warranty, but second year cover by Senheng.

The reason I didn't buy the Ori apple charger is cos of the price too high. That's why I continue using my old 45W charger

There is no need to buy since it is already universal with USB-C. Afaik both Apple and Samsung original chargers are expensive.

TBH, I prefer android better than my 16e, but since I'm reluctant to sell away my 16e, I force myself to use it as a Bank app Fon & QR code scanner only during payment. 16e is a good Fon. Maybe the next iPhone will have 100W charging hahaha 😂
*
Not only Apple, even the latest Pixel only support around 30W to 45W charging. Both ang mo brand.
Samsung is also another brand with only 25w and 45w charging respectively. China phone although looks great on hardware, you do not get consistent software update. If can get 2 major android consider syukur already. Itu pun massive amount of bloatware that comes with the phone.

because nowaday in the mobile field , they understand that young people they tend to change phone very quick , most of the young change their phone yearly , max also 3 year , even samsung given 5 year free update OS but appear light saber within 2 year is pointless  , technology is moving fast now , rarely people will thinking to use a technology for decade  biggrin.gif  , must understand the Majority market need , not minority
With the current Trade In Program , zero % installment plan ,  just look around at the iphone 16 pro max thread , how many of the lyn member year just can't tahan the poison and update new iphone yearly?  biggrin.gif  It just like buying a TV given 10 year warranty , so what? After over 6 to 7 year , new model coming out with high technology feature & cheaper price , stil mou claim ke warranty? buy new one already lo bro  biggrin.gif  biggrin.gif  dont take uncle auntie mind on 2025 already  biggrin.gif

Those are either too rich or pretend to be rich by taking loan just to change phones every 1 to 2 years. People who use their phone 5 6 years knows what they are up to.

No worries, you have the money luck

QUOTE(chongkiatz @ May 20 2025, 03:57 PM)
Taking loan doesnt mean pretend to be rich or be poor , i bought my iphone 16pro max RM5999 with 36 month zero installment , why? Because i take my CASH Rm6000 invest on FD . ASNB , i pay monthly Rm166 with my current salary , i get 3.7%-4.5% return per year , roughly RM222 per year x 3 year = RM666 , u paying Rm6k cash and u got nothing , i pay 36 month zero installment at the end i got Rm666 interest back , that is call smart not pretend to be rich , your answer show how Katak are you  biggrin.gif

Another reason why some user change phone every year? Because it can be deduct LHDN tax under "smartphone or tablet for own use rm2500" , so when u purchase RM5999 iphone , u can deduct Rm2500 tax ,  next year , u can sell off your iphone maybe RM4000 to gain back your cash , then purchase new iphone to deduct another Rm2500 , either u are too rich that no need deduction of tax or u are just getting minum wage so that you doesnt need to pay income tax and u no need care about tax relief  biggrin.gif
*
Hahah, triggered until need to use personal shots just because of difference in financial view? Never mind you bought your phone for Rm5999. Those who not in a hurry got theirs at discounted price through online and already save despite paying cash or using CC instalment. Your method is not wrong either as you know how to generate income with that 6k of savings.
I'm not in the high tax bracket. After factor in depreciation and resale realities of iPhone nowadays, plus net cost per year, I'm still spending more just to get the tax break.

U act the same too , why attacking people using installment for the phone and called them as "pretend rich?" Damn

Why i need to save few hundred if i could get on the first launch date to enjoy the new phone with zero % installment plan and got some cashback with my cc plus the 3 year interest profit plus relief rm2500 tax? Then can I say how cheapskate are you buying an iphone have to wait for discount price? U really have broken mind
i mention rm4000 is agak2 only can i believe u could sell even more , then i just have to topup not even 2k but i can deduct rm2500 tax relief , u really fail at math bro 🤣
*
You know iPhone loan not always equal 0 interest. Those taken from telco, from CC 0%. Those taken from shops offerring loan, you can see how high the interest they charge that even your saving interest cannot cover.
Agak2 if Rm4000++, with discounts people just need to add few hundreds can buy new iPhone 16 pro max. Then you topup rm2k to claim tax relief. Like I said only if you are in high tax bracket you can see the savings, otherwise it is just spending more than the tax relief.
It's good to have people like you bro, helping the economy to grow.

2999 for a iPhone is considered cheap but compared to Android it's really expensive cos Android got so many brands to choose from

Actually for 16E that's consider expensive. If can get discount like Rm2599 or below than ok.

Time to consider selling your 16E. Don't cling onto something that doesn't make you happy using.

I'm not using it all, I only use the 16e for bank apps & Shopee transfer. Everything else I use my Oppo realme Fons
Cannot laa, I buy at 2999 you know

Money cannot buy you happiness. If you can sell it at 2.3k and up, just let it go.

It's funny that some people think they're the only ones with devices from other platforms; I also have, and many others do too. laugh.gif Oh well, every device has its pros and cons. Buy what you need, according to how deep your pocket is.

One thing is for sure: if you expect iPhone to be cheap, nope, not happening.

Android can be cheap because it is an open source and all makers can make one.

Want cheap? Apple is not for you. Want stability? Apple is the one. Want a simple yet expensive phone? Apple is the one.

Whether we like it or not, Apple remains the pack leader. Yes, some Android phone companies may have specific technology, but its popularity will not be there until Apple repackages it under its products. This is a fact.

For Android I like Pixel. Unfortunately Pixel not cheap either.

For next phone, try to find Android flagship with SD 8Elite. Then baru can compare
