Bought the Mageasy clear case from machines…too many Techwoven for pro max, so wants a change on this pro..clear case is actually quite nice on the pro, will share some pic later…for some reason I don’t like clear case on the pro max, feels plasticky on the bigger orange..
My second choice is actually silver. Coz silver can match with any casing, especially clear case, really bring out the elegance…
I was told the 17 pro batt is better than 16 PM too, but it shows otherwise. Maybe coz my pro going through indexes now, but the batt is definitely not as long lasting as my 16 PM, it was just less than a month ago I was using the 16 PM so memory still serves me well…

If I’m putting them on a scale, the batt on 17 pro is probably 5/6, 16 PM was 7, 17 PM maybe 8.
Hmm it’s not really bad kind of bad, but coming from many years of pro max, it drains batt much faster and I’m just not used to seeing it drop every tick per few mins..maybe I’ll be alright after a while when I get used to it (if I ever get used to it), but so far the pro max is winning..

I think the pro still lasts through the day even on heavy usage…definitely much nicer to hold on the hand, single hand typing is easier now, have to get used to seeing lesser on the screen due to smaller estate but that’s fine.

1 big issue with the pro though - when using the phone, my index finger tend to touch and rest on the plateau area and camera lens (not protected by casing hence need plateau film protector), on the pro max my index finger rest on the square panel (on casing) but this is just personal experience coz diff people has diff palm size and finger length, also different holding style etc. Now my camera lenses  are covered with fingerprints all the time (and also the plateau area, + to make it worse my plateau film has not arrive yet) might potentially leave scratches on the camera lens..
*
I hope it is still indexing. My old phone if I went to full charge before I sleep it still stays at 100% but for my new phone by the time I wake up is already at 98%. ohmy.gif

I train my hands not to touch the camera lens when normally using the phone or watching videos. Only way I do to tackle blurry photos. I watched Jerry the lense are tested around 7 which is one less than diamond which is 8 I think so is alright. But the edges are still easily scratch.

Yes, I also sold stuff there before. laugh.gif

Anyway, I was just informed that I will be assigned as the project lead for a project in China. I will probably travel to China soon (most likely Beijing) in the coming months, and I can do my shopping spree while I'm there. Apple stuff in China is quite cheap. laugh.gif

Nice. I will be going to Beijing next Monday. Will be there for 2-3 weeks. I want to host a website in China so will be applying for an ICP license. Then Shenzhen as my return flight is there cause I have a friend in HK and we will be meeting up over in Shenzhen over the weekend. Looks like I am a bit too early else we can meet up there too in Beijing.

Haha yes. I am not buying anything to prepare for China trip. If there is anything I need can just buy there. It is so good the feeling...

I heard Beijing changed a lot. This 10 years is massive for China.

Mine was 80%. tongue.gif But maybe I was just lucky, again there are still other folks using 16PM still with 100% today.

Haha yes. While the battery stats doesn't read 100% anymore but in iOS it still reads as 100%... I am gonna keep it as a duty to stretch the 100% as long as possible tongue.gif

From my own exp battery health tend to be very stable along 89-91% no matter what we do but then what's the point. It is already 10% gone.

QUOTE(dikae @ Oct 11 2025, 01:29 PM)
Gone were the days when I do 80% on normal days, 90% when I travel abit further. Only can do that on pro max, tried it on pro and not working out well, been testing to increase 5%, now at 90% but I think will increase to 95% soon..sad.gif
*
I think I will stick to 90%. It feels weird for me because my old 12Pro takes forever to charge from 90% to 100% around 30 mins but the 17pro feels like speed charging from 90% onwards to full in just 10 mins. Same charger but usbc over lightning....

My bestie in China who is using 16PM, bought 2 months after me and always charges to 100%, I last checked with her in September and she said her battery health is still 100%. So, I’m not too sure anymore. laugh.gif It’s probably just 16PM.

Looks like 16PM is the magical battery. it is phenomenal to have batteries at 100% even after 1 year. I wonder what's the battery replacement price for the 17 series will be like. Now that the iPhone finally use usb 3.2 compared to usb2.0 the backup will no longer be such a pain I guess.

Anyone used the LDNIO brand before? My old original iPhone 5W charger got busted around 4 years but this LDNIO 4-multiport USB brand has been consistently using for 6 years and is still working great. Plus it charged more devices at more load then the original Apple 5W charger.

No idea. I turned on. Wait for some reviewers do some research on it.
Hmm… since when u got 9 case already? Sifu like cheating. Suddenly this is case #1?
Hmmm.. 17PM actually has lesser battery mAH than 16PM. Well, just use the battery. It’s really your luck, some battery have higher capacity, you can’t make battery all the same exactly.

Anyone changing iPhone every year, why bother limit battery charge.
*
The problem is we need to backup and then restore everything when we replaced battery. Coming from usb2.0 sucks but now is usb3.2 maybe not too bad can too a physical backup instead of icloud.

Then also once u replaced the battery, the waterproof seal will no longer be perfect anymore as they cincai put one… service technician will never do it properly vs factory new assembly. Not sure about iPhone but it was the case with Sony Xperia. Those early days was quite a novelty and I did crazy things like washing phone under a tap 🤪🤪

Ah… I had Sony Xperia also.. the ultra model. Washing phone under tap? I was dunking it in the swimming pool. In office.. we all went to toilet to dunk inside pail.

iPhone battery change? ITworld, machines, battery replacement been great. If any doubts, go TRX service centre. Apple has very good tools for all these replacements. Go watch some YouTube videos.
Liquid Glass animation is unnecessary animation which takes up.. not sure gpu or cpu. Nonetheless still not required. Hope can turn it off.

Hoho… xiaomi 17 PM. vs iPhone 17 PM… xiaomi is double battery mAH…. But extra 5 mins only.

*
Why can’t they just replace while keeping the phone lock then can do a run test with you around. But the AASP and Apple of course wants u to erase everything.

What to do, Maxis is the first to bring iPhone into the market but I might be wrong.

Back then iPhone 3GS 16GB just rm 1799 and 12 months contract.

I still remember my iPhone 7 was around Rm2500 then came the iPhone X. Real leap

Up until iPhone 5 I think, everything was telco based, warranties as well. That time I swear by Sony Xperias laugh.gif

I noticed most of the cases followed the speaker hole nowadays and not just an opened cut out slot. It muffled the speaker a bit though I am fine with it. I think it is better. But yeah my charging port got one nick at the top right of the usb c slot already. Have to be more careful.

Sufficient, but the oleophobic coating is getting less on my screen because I clean my screen very often. Confirmed won’t get 100% and can reduce the smudges.

When your palm is dry or in an Aircond room you can just wipe the screen with the base of your palm, all the smudge will be wipe away. But if outside or sweating it will normally make it worse. Lol or immediately after you wash your hands with soup.

I finally made up my mind to skip this year’s iphone.. although finally a fresher design after a long while, but anything Apple bragged about this phone has been one upped by this xiaomi, including the processor speed and battery life. Hence make me think this phone is gonna be outdated too soon. I’m looking forward to their game for next year, I think then finally a matured new iphone. This year is kinda like iphone 12, or iphone X, or iphone 6s trial phases  biggrin.gif

There is a reason for apple cause the new battery type might expand and then lose battery health by a great deal. It is not that they don't want it but Apple has longevity built around it. Their users are all obsessed about battery health brows.gif

Their drinks are pricier than Malaysia. It is rm 20 for a tall latte. Last time I remember was rm17 locally. Lol or maybe they don't dare to raise prices with the boycott. tongue.gif
