Honestly if it was 2499 I would buy it in a heartbeat. Was always looking to have a reliable phone for work purposes but this price list is ridiculous. I am better off buying a used ip15pro for the same price.

15pro - no more sell except some left over unit in market.
A17 vs A18

Thanks but no, telco contract is never more worth than outright. You just pay more in the end, it’s no different than taking a loan to buy a phone.

true, i also think that way

I pay monthly postpaid without contract but I don’t claim from company.
If suddenly I do claim from company I don’t see how it makes no difference? You mean if I can claim higher bill with phone included then I can just do so and it’s no different to me?
Even if so I’d still rather get a 15 or 16 for the better camera.
*
Difference people got different need or perspective. If got extra budget, can go other phone model. Don’t think apple bother on this model.
I am more interested if battery claim better and 5g modem signal. View video say that 5g high speed are limited to small area and not widely available.

Waiting for review

No point tied to contract if buying outright could be cheaper since resellers like to throw prices in just a few weeks time.

Thing is, 16E do not have UWB to reliably work with airtag.

Yes. if u want precision. been using SE3 since 3 years with airtag. work fine. I use to keep track my travel luggage, key , car and pet.
Still can use without any problem. Quite useful the airtag since i able to tell them my luggage at which airport and not destination, pet safely at pet boarding, forget where my key but able to tell me i left it at office, car park safely at that location.

precision only want to locate item nearby but dont stop airtag from working

Is the 16e really worth to buy or nay ? 1st time got iPhone so low price I'm totally super duper hyper suprise
*
depend on your budget and features that u want. i still recall 3 years ago when i get SE3 as 1st iphone (switch from android). i dont need fancy stuff but just want an iphone.
that time also people complained
-4.7" small screen
-No OLED
- lightning port
-no magsafe
-small battery
-home button - old tech
-etc

But survived for 3 years without any problem and no regret on the decision

u can compare iphone 15 or 16. not advise to go lower as apple tend to cut support OS after it is 5 years old. at least 15 and 16 can still use for next 4-5 years.

5G modem is quite new from apple, so advise to wait for people review next week before decide.

Maybe wait till 1111 or 1212 shocking sales then only buy

QUOTE(GamersFamilia @ Feb 23 2025, 03:19 PM)
Hopefully there's a good discount

by that time ip16 already drop price since ip17 out.
from ip17 air leak, it seem like only got 1 camera and price wont be cheap. Heard that apple going to increase price due to inflation on new model (16e- is just the 1st step), US tariff increase 9%, etc.

However it also depend RM currency strength. if USD keep up, then will same fate like SE3 (price increase after few month)

wow, what voucher r u using? quite a lot of discount.

By the way, it seem like lacking of vendor sell screen protector and case on this model. Most likely due to unit not available yet

But experience is differ.

iOS vs Android

QUOTE(Syok Your Mom @ Feb 24 2025, 04:11 PM)
Agreed. But if only use Facebook Whatsapp socmed apps, the difference won't be noticed right.

Apple ecosystem is more useful when using multiple apple devices (iphone, ipad, watch, mac, etc)

IOS more stable & secure compare to Android. Seem few times, bank app issue on android but no impact on IOS. This is just one of example.
