No worries, you have the money luck
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.
*
From the start i mention "Trade in program & 0% installment plan" , dont take those shop offering loan with interest , i didnt mention those ok , why u can have 0% installment plan at switch / official web or machine but choose those super high loan shop? Mean u are not wise enough if u do so , and from my understanding , telco actually offer 0% installment plan too with subscription.

The world have to work like this only economy can be grow , if the recycling chain broken which is happening right now , u can see more and more people jobless , and more and more retail shop shuting down operation

But but but iPhone price so expensive compared to Android Fon
*

One of the reason why iphone can be sold at such great price is because there is no competition , in the europe country , the other mobile brand is totally Out of the games and making iphone is so stand up , can say the best phone they can have in their country, look at motorola , blackberry .... sweat.gif totally dead


While if u compared to Google phone , it actually is stil pricy and isnt that cheap for an android phone.

But if u talking about China brand android phone , yes its cheap , actually for china, they dont ever care about the other country , they focus only for their own people and own country , u can see how agressive the VIVO , Oppo , Xiaomi , Honor is....Oppo saw VIVO have already implement fast charge , after a month Oppo xiaomi honor all follow the fast charging technology , then vivo saw oppo start using Silicone battery , after a month other company start follow and upgraded , this is what call "Competition" , they are too aggressive , and that the reason why the price war will happen too , and making the phone have better purchase value when there is more choice of supply.


Why Alot of people might have bad experience with china brand phone? The bigger reason is because the phone in CHINA OS is different with the GLOBAL OS. So any latest feature will be implement to their China Rom first.... , while Global rom tend to get slow update or get less feature compared to the Original OS from china mobile company , and if u look directly to the china ROM phone , u will even surpise the price is different almost RM700-1k when the phone is officially arrived in malaysia , so u can imagine how Competitive is android phone in china , if one day , china can solve the GLOBAL OS to be as good as their Original OS which i believe they are actually trying hard to improving , then it will be different story , it just like how many user that satisfy with Huawei phone before Huawei get banned because huawei really focus on their Global phone OS. Huawei is the only company that make western worry until peeing in pants until need to ban and sanctions them biggrin.gif


So the conclusion , iphone can just selling at any price because there is no competitive around Europe brand , and that the reason too why they can selling yesterday technology in today with such price and became 4trillion company worth in the world biggrin.gif

1 thing I like about China ROM Fon is that it's really cheap, use few years trade in for a new one, no heart ache, if buy those RM 5000 & above Fons have to use many years to get back the ROI. Also if plan to use same Fon for many years have to change battery dunno how many times. Btw 16e is great for bank app cos all my notifications are received correctly 💯💯💯
*
But the china Rom Fon might have 1 problem with the apps utilize , no doubt iOS the holding the first place on this , buying electronic gadget dont ever think about the ROI , because technology doesnt hold the value biggrin.gif

Going to keep using my 16e until apple launch 100W fast charging for their iPhone
*
For me , i wont looking for the fast charging alone , it's more like into one whole package.

Why implement fast charge? Because want to insert a more larger battery.

Why want to insert large battery? Because want to insert more high resolution screen.

Why want to insert more high resolutions screen? Because want to increase higher refresh rate to 120hz.

Why want to insert 120hz? Because want to give user to have better vision and smooth feel experience.

That the reason why fast charging kick in.


So basically it is more into a package , which i think it should be already done at least for all the 2023 device but u stil can see 60hz on 2025 new device laugh.gif that rare for a 4billion worth company

Buy rm2999 phone just for bank apps usage? Then turn it off asap when there is no transaction activity needed?
With secure tac approval and biometric approval , nothing can go wrong, the hacker must be blind hacking your account and he will regret it for life

i think initially he plan to get iphone 16E for his daily driver due to listen to other that iOS have better security , but ended up he found the iOS operation not so user friendly and not his cup of tea compared to android especially the gesture , so he now will be back to android as his daily driver and the iphone 16E will be secondary phone for bank apps usage , not really hard to understand actually biggrin.gif , not every one can afford to buy a RM2999 phone tak sampai a month then u ask him sell RM2300 ,

so now he plan to use the phone as long as he can , at least that make him feel not so rugi that much la laugh.gif

actually i really salute to you , because u are android owner and already rely to the 120hz refresh rate + fast charge , how on earth u have the braveness to spend Rm2999 for a 60hz phone laugh.gif

Fully understood his situation, I do believed a few of 16e users in here, but only this particular guy obviously not satisfied with it, with that he tried his best saying ios or iphone not a good phone compared to android, just to make himself feel better due to regret the purchase of his 16e

Nothing wrong comparing ios and android phone, but up to the level to convince or dragging people by highlighting ios phone / iphone less off then android phone, so that people will avoid to purchase or own an iphone, which is obviously ridiculous way to show the frustration of regret the purchase of his 16e

Agreed with you, at least he feels not so rugi by keeping it for banking purpose, at night he cried a lot, nobody's know 😅
*
actually the same la bro , when u pointing finger to people , u are actually pointing to yourself , there is ton of of iOS user complain and not satisfy to the android phone too , i dont think he alone got so much power to effect people to STOP purchase the product biggrin.gif because he a not million follower youtuber tiktoker biggrin.gif , people if like the product so much , he/she stil will purchase , no worry smile.gif , this is a forum , nothing wrong user to express and share their experience to the phone , and i dont think he is making fancy complain without a point , he really face the problem and share the screenshot right? He is not talking the bad without the prove biggrin.gif Take it easy guys

It just a suggestion 😅

It just like i looking for a motorbike to go work to avoid jam , but suddenly u recommend me a serdan car biggrin.gif , that the point bro , why recommend me a different category stuff , so what if he didnt carring the ipad mini 24/7 , so when wanna do banking stuff , then have to wait until back home only can do the transaction? Doesnt make sense bro your words laugh.gif suggestion must come with a logic right? wink.gif First time i heard people suggest ipad mini for banking stuff laugh.gif

I used my 16e not even an hour, plus the resident evil games are so hard to play without a controller I give up playing
Finally a guy who understands me. The reason I bought the 16e is cos UR willing to trade in my Fold 5 for RM 2050, meaning I only pay around 900 for my 16e. I'm also not happy with my Fold 5 cos the crease area keep having bubbles even though already replaced the screen protector twice. The back cover open up , can see the battery & other internal parts, really ridiculous Samsung quality, while I was charging it, must be the heat from the battery causing the glue to loosen. Also the lense cover almost fall off cos I put the Fold 5 in my pocket together with my Oppo Find X6 Pro causing friction, that's when I realized how bad the QA of Samsung products is & faster bring in to trade in for 16e. 16e is my first iOS apple iPhone, was thinking if I like iOS as much as I like Android I will buy myself a 16 Pro for my daily usage. Ended up dissatisfied & disappointed that's why I'm still using my 2 years ago Oppo Find X6 Pro & realme GT Neo 5 SE as my daily Fon.

i have iOS device , samsung , China brand Global ROM and CHINA ROM phone , that the reason why i understand how this 3 company work , i know their pros and cons , i wont praise a single company like GOD LIKE , i will only praise for their technology innovation , we as consumer , we also hope that what we complain can be heard by the company and hope they can give us the improvement on the next launching product smile.gif we also hope they have a healthy competition so that we as consumer can enjoy better technology with low price 😉

Tak macam USA lo , cant compete with others, then start ban and sanctions , u know i know 😂

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.

Android ultra flagship isnt really CHEAP , the price is just slightly below iphone price , lot people always took the low end android which is price range about 900-2k compared to their iphone which cant be fair

For your information , if huawei isnt sanctions and ban by US for the chip and google service on 2018 because they actually chasing up and outsell iphone on 2017/2018 , huawei actually could be lead comfortable in the world as early as 2020 , but because of how western playing cheat , only Apple can be continue to lead on the mobile phone world , that is fact

I know because I was using Android flagship phones all the while before I switched to iPhones.

Yes, also I’m from telco and ICT industry in case you are not aware too. smile.gif Huawei’s stories are not new to our industry, so we may know more than the public knew.

Also I never mentioned anything about sales. Did I? Who cares about the sales figure. I was saying how Apple’s stuff are always glorified though those functions may have already existed in Android phones way before iPhone. Android folks may mock saying they had them before but did it make any difference? No. But when Apple adopted the functions, they suddenly become a big thing. That’s what I meant.
*
Yes , cant deny that Apple have The power of infection the the world , when they polishing those old feature and put into their latest device and it suddenly become a trend , can only say they really marketing well to their product , making a simply thing become very big thing and every other company will follow.

Yes, you got the security scan. Which is for known virus/malware/trojan and etc but it won't detect for unknown/new types of viruses. I'm not saying Android didn't improve, but still compare with Iphone, Android more prone to kena compare with Iphone. I'm using both Iphone and Android (pixel 8 and xiaomi rednote 14 pro), the link I provided only happened on last year.

That's why I said nothing is 100% guarantee safe, even Iphone also.

Also the swipe gestures not as intelligent as Android gestures, sometimes still need to stretch my thumb to press the back arrow button to get back to previous page. This doesn't happen with Android
*
For iOS , i actually only got 3 things to complain and wish they could make a change , first = gesture and the second = photo album , third = keyboard

Like u say , the gesture on android is far more convenience , on the iOS , sometime it can be back by SLIDE but sometime u need to find button doh.gif so it kind of confuse. Especially when u holding your phone at the right hand , and the back icon at TOP LEFT , it;s not great to reach the corner to tap with 1 hand on Pro Max doh.gif

For the photo album, i just cant live with the iOS photo album doh.gif it mess up everything , the android photo album is very neatly arranged compared to iOS , heard the iOS26 will bring back the old photo album and hope it can be improve , let see how biggrin.gif

Keyboard , actually i just wish they added Number Row , just a simply small wish , why can't just add Number Row on top of the farking keyboard sweat.gif , dont ask me install 3rd party keyboard , i just want apple original keyboard with NUMBER ROW !!!

Just swallow the fact. These 3 brand, Apple, Samsung, and pixel will not have crazy fast charging. If you want 100w 240w only china brand will do that.
All these 3 brand is marketted for longevity in term of security patch and support, unlike China phone which get 2 version of Android.
But imagine if every OS has the same gesture as android, then there is nothing to talk about, the world will be boring. Let there be variety, let user choose which one they want to use.
*
If u talk about different UI then its okey , but gesture is about convenience, improving over the time will make the user feel more flexible , it is a good thing to improve , at least for me. Just like the Number Row on Apple Keyboard, its not hard to give convenience to user to have it , maybe apple just recent figure out "windows vista" UI which mean they stil staying on 2007 , stil cant figure out how to add a number ROW on top of the keyboard 😅

Apple is famous to make a thing more simple and convenient right , i dont see this two thing actually add burden to user 😉

Yes, use Android if you must. All this while only China phone keep experimenting with faster and faster charging. If technology allow them, I'm sure they will go for 1 minute to have 100% charge.
Likewise, it took a while for Wireless charging to appear in iPhone.

I think they will improve it over the time, definitely not so fast by just copying Android gesture.

Actually company and citizen should put the "copy" aside and stop the argument , who copy who doesn't matter , at the end consumer win 😍 , but u know i know, keyboard warrior and toxic warrior is all over in the social media 🤦
