Yeah, edge to edge coverage , no gap no white lining wont have dust collecting. And the edge is 3D curve.

U got the blueo AR glass?

Those ppl really pandai goreng news , no matter how strong the glass , it stil glass , if hit certain angle sure will pecah also , that the reason no matter what , a temp glass is a must for a phone nowaday, and i wonder apple did claim aluminium body is stronger than titanium? I thought apple already explain clearly changing to aluminium is to get x20 time more faster release heat than titanium rather than strong? 😅 They simply just mou goreng news.

If apple can choose , i think they also lazy to open and save million of dollar to make a new machine module just for aluminium body , but no choice , high performance chip need something like aluminium to release heat. If they choose to continue with titanium , they need larger vapor chamber like those android gaming phone , which doesnt really have that much space already 😂

My iphone7plus with aluminum body , full of scratch 😂

sometime those big brand flagship store was actually control by the platform warehouse , for your information Apple might store some item in the Lazada Warehouse and also Shopee warehouse , so once order enter , actually it will be manage and postage by the warehouse instead of from Apple themself , that the reason why u see the order just placed but just in a few minutes it already show "Pick up by our logistic" , that definitely show they done the packing and scan the parcel by themself and will be ship out by their own logistic from warehouse.


LazMall and ShopeeMall have a rules that if the item isnt authentic , u can be claim double-up the price of the item , so u really have to worry-less lah if buying from any Shopee MALL / Lazada Mall also Tiktok Mall , because those seller already verifyed authentic before they actually can sold in the platform and label themself as a "MALL SELLER" , u really ingat so easy to get the title of "MALL seller"? Not easy men have alot of process to go thru.

I'm one of the seller in Lazada & Shopee & Tiktok , i been invited to store my stock in their warehouse , so any order coming in , they can directly help me packing and ship out the item , but at the same time they also will charge me more high commision and have some storage fees for each order , and my product doesnt have high profit like the Big brand , so i choose to decline their offer.


This is how the warehouse look like.

there is some review ip17pm vs the china x200ultra. The telephoto definitely stil cant compete with china phone but at least it is improvement from the last 16pm.

Sure , people have been waiting for so so so so many year to at least have a change of design to the phone , at least u holding the 17pm out there people can directly recognized it. 😆

LOL

Imagine that if i got a gift-card of RM3k to be use , i trade-in ip16pm with rm3.5k then i buy ip17pm rm5999 , i expect that after pay RM5999 with CC ,at the end of month i just need to pay rm2499 after the deduction of trade-in , but at the end , i only get rm500 cash refund and they return back the rm3k gift-card as next purchase , what the point? radiculous

So the best method is , trade-in to apple first to get the gift-voucher , then only take the gift-voucher directly buy from them otherwise , keep receive endless Apple gift-voucher.

So mean that u will forever trap into the end-less gift-voucher each time u want to trade with Apple store that sound crazy. That why nowaday having a secondary phone is so important.

U look at vin39 phone photo , that is a 2.5D temp glass that u will notice a white lining and u can see from the picture it starting collecting dust not even a month





And this is my iphone 16pm , using 3D hot-bending , im using 秋谷兔 brand , but i believe actually it just same as 铁布衫，if u on low budget side to get Blueo , actually the two chinese brand is really worth , the 3D-hotbending that cover from edge to edge , can u barely see that i actually apply a screen protector on the phone? 😂 From pic u can see the Temp Glass Edge is a 3D curve , totally cant see got what white lining and wont collecting dust in long term, 😆 3D hot-bending is the only way to get edge to edge coverage.

Yes the 3D hotbend temp glass is on high side especially those come with AR feature , maybe u use anything cheapo temp glass first , wait 10.10 or 11.11 , will have super great deal only grab them.

I using iphone16pm that time doesnt have AR coating on the original screen , so i just buy the 3D-hotbend without AR , i get around MB57.80 that time (RM38++) , if without offer should be RMB66.30 , if u dont mind and dont care about the AR coating effect , and just want a proper screen protector , i think that is a good choice.





And for the AR effect , the price for 2 pcs is RMB188 , and 1pc is RMB128 , so depend on your budget , for sure if u take 2pcs divide will be more cheaper.
秋谷兔 , 铁布衫 ， 米卡凡 ，电磁猫 i just feel they are same factory , because from their packing , the installation kit , almost identical But i think 铁布衫 & 秋谷兔 is the most famous among them.





铁布衫now seen more cheaper , 1pc RMB97 , 2pcs RMB 160 , maybe u can grab this.

Lens protector is very subjective , some people think that it's worth to get protection for their lenses as they dont care about image quality also , but some will appreciate the quality of the image without the lens protection , hard to say who is wrong or right because it really down to personal preference , if u really decide to get a lens protector , i think at least get the TOP brand like Xone , Blueo , Hoda that come with Sapphire glass , those cheapo RM10-20 de better just avoid.

Normally the 3D hot-bending temp glass wont be too thick , and don worry about the case friendly , because the edge is 3D curve , any case u putting on it , it will just sitting nicely inside the case , the edge just super smooth and curve , so that it definitely wont cause itu temp glass will raise up


秋谷兔 & 铁布衫 should be fine ,秋谷兔 i use for ip16pm & 铁布衫 i try for my vivo x200s , enjoy your edge-to-edge temp glass so far i using on ip16pm is super good , once u try 3D hot bending , really hard to back to the 2.5D type





privacy got , just search 防窥AR 钢化膜 and find 3D热弯 (hot bending) then got already.

It super easy to apply that come with the applicator box , maybe u are too nervous for the first time learn to apply screen protector? Nvm bro , i believe pratice make perfect , u will getting better on next time.

If by any chance my temp glass broken , i may snap u a video that even my 5 year old kid also can apply perfectly 😝

need to option for xhs because youtube got not much about blueo tutorial video

ya it really "idiot proof" because even idiot can install it perfectly , pull , roll , done , making life really idiot easy.

If i'm you , i will request for a replacement or a solution , u are not paying a RM500-600 device , it's a RM5k-6k device.


As malaysia iphone was using sim+esim , so the battery size isnt that huge different compared to previous 16 series , if u really want to see something improvement , i would say at least 2 generation only can feel the significant improvement rather than upgrade yearly.

Nop , i stay on ip16pm , i dont upgrade yearly because it hardly to "feel" the improvement , same as my android phone too , normally i upgrade every 2 generation of SoC.


Only the e-Sim version have huge improvement on the battery life this year.

And now i actually dont quite like this kind of battery comparison , i'm more to view like real life , real user that using 2-3 different brand phone and running the test on REAL-World.

Here some example of video that i refer to , which this kind of test is more realistic , they are very famous in bilibili , but recently they have uploaded video on youtube.

Iphone 17 vs samsung S25 vs huawei Pura 80 real life battery battle.



Iphone 16 pro max vs 17 pro max vs huawei pura 80 ultra real life battery battle.




That huge upgrade from 12pm to 17pm , ya caring two big phone is no joke the only Pro Max advantage is the battery , ask yourself it will be hard for u to re-charge ur phone in the middle of day? If it's not, then just go for PRO , macam for me home can charge office can charge car can charge , then anything should be fine.
