Let's guess what's the expected price for the base model of 17PM. For 16PM - 256GB it was priced at RM 5999.

I do have an Apple gift card of RM 1150 to use, and I plan to trade in my current 16PM. Last year I traded in the 15PM 256GB for 3.7k. Since I have no plan to use the gift card on other stuff, I will just use it for the 17PM.

Since it's a gift card, come, GIFT me biggrin.gif rclxm9.gif

I hope the price 256GB (and no more 128GB please) stays like current gen sweat.gif
RM5,999 or maybe lower thanks to USD depreciating - RM5,799

laugh.gif You slowly dream. tongue.gif I purposely keep it for the 17PM. biggrin.gif
Since 15PM, no more 128GB for PM. Of course, Pro still has 128GB.

Hopefully it will be cheaper and tariff supposedly doesn't affect 3C products, they better keep to their words.

The 17 Pro will probably also be available from the 256GB model.

My iPhone has to start with 256GB that also because I have a 2TB iCloud, otherwise I may need a 1TB phone as I take a lot of photos. laugh.gif I still have around 110GB internal storage left now, so I will still buy 256GB for 17 Pro Max.
My previous iPad Mini 6 was 64GB. laugh.gif The current iPad Mini 7 is 128GB but I only use it for entertainment purposes, so it is still sufficient for now. Definitely not enough for daily driver device.

I wanted something like 1TB iCloud but unfortunately from 200GB, the next leap is 2TB. laugh.gif
I went to a lot of concerts in the past, so I kept taking photos/videos and there was once it ran out of storage during a concert and I quickly upgraded my plan to 2TB on the spot. laugh.gif Now using 650GB.

2TB quite pricey but it's actually same price like Apple One individual which i subscribed now sweat.gif

RM44.90 - Apple One Individual (50GB iCloud + Music + TV + Arcade) where i only utilise iCloud and music technically

Yes, that's why I don't want to subscribe Apple One because 50GB and I don't use the rest. For Apple Music, I am subscribing to the student plan, so it's cheaper.

Anti reflection is a great thing. My ip16pm flolab AR.. so nice especially being outside and bright sunny day.

I just wonder if ip17 has it.. can’t apply a AR based screen protector right?

The iPad Pro already has a similar option. The coating is very good. The diffused effect is not as high as those 3rd party matte screen protector films so everything is sharper. But the problem is durability. Those who use the Apple Pencil can see marks on it after a few weeks. Apple’s marketing is also a bit BS, because they claim the coating is on the underside of the screen. If that was true, why would they need sell a special cloth for it?

For the iPhone, if the anti reflective coating is truly on the underside of the glass, then it should be possible to apply any screen protector and not worry about damaging it, but nobody will know until the device is released and tested.

I know AR is a good thing , u can choose to apply AR coating temp glass on it to get AR effect , but now by default it was AR screen , if those user go apply normal glossy temp glass will definitely ruins the function.

Wonder what will happen if apply AR temp glass on AR screen 😅 , will the screen stil clear? The double up AR coating will effect the quality of visibility?
