Before I got my 15 Pro Max, it was the 12 Pro Max (my first iPhone). So, from 15 Pro Max, I was upgrading every year.

I was looking forward to this model as a secondary phone but the battery is difficult for me.

At the end, I backed for Ikko MindOne Pro for my secondary phone though the battery is equivalent.
But the screen is so small so should be OK. I just need a fun phone, so initially thought about the 17 Air.

OT: USD 369, last 21H before the campaign ends. Deliver only in Dec.

OT: I probably will open a thread in Android section but it is expected to deliver only in Dec. *fingers crossed*

Yes, Apple Intelligence has been a joke. So far, never heard them doing anything to it.

Yes, it is but it definitely looks happier than the LP3.

Too much until I feel they are fake now.
Gonna wait until the official announcement.

I just noticed there is a thread for 17/Air: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5525544

It’s always Pro/Pro Max will have its own thread. Same goes to the vanilla version.

Telcos will take pre-order on the same day Apple and other authorized dealers take theirs. Usually telcos will only reveal the plans like half an hour before it’s officially available for pre-orders.

About trade-in, I’m not too sure. Never heard of it before.

Last year iPhone 16 was the first year we can get directly from TRX. Better or not, it’s up to individual. For the hype, yes get from TRX but need to queue up because the daily stocks may not be a lot and special colors will finish quicker. Otherwise can pre-order from Apple and collect from TRX or get them delivered to you.

If in terms of pricing and one can wait, then wait for a month, most likely authorized dealers will start reducing prices on online platforms like Shopee, Lazada and TikTok shop.

I will be getting orange color so will pre-order for sure.

USD 999 for the most basic iPhone. It looks like kinda expensive.

Me.

Yes.

Won't suit you, the battery is too little. Later come here and complain again.

Yes, last year for 15 Pro Max with Apple directly when I purchased 16 Pro Max.
RM 3700 for 15 Pro Max 256GB.

Not sure as Apple Store online pricing doesn't include 16 series yet, it will be announced later. However, I heard if walk-in to TRX can trade-in 16 now.

Trade-in and can get the Apple gift card and buy something else. I suggest you don't get iPhones anymore.

Battery is too little for you and no super fast charging like China Android phones. Anyway, 17 Air thread is here: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/5525544

I think only to US markets to avoid tariffs, non-US markets will still be made by China.

https://www.cnet.com/tech/apple-is-making-a...na-report-says/

Early this year, CEO Tim Cook said that Apple would be moving nearly all of its assembly of US-bound iPhones to India to avoid tariff penalties. Chaurasia said there was a 27% increase in US-bound iPhones made in India from the first half of 2024 to the first half of 2025.

However, China will still be the top producer (by far) of iPhones to non-US markets.
