I think at some point I will want to try the Air too but for me battery life is key coz the iPhone is my main driver - and the fact that Apple is pushing a MagSafe battery pack specifically for the Air doesn’t exactly inspire confidence!
I also use an Android for work but I usually go with the one with the biggest battery available coz when I travel for work I turn on the hotspot for my personal phone to feed off it, haha… Currently using an Iqoo Neo 10 with a 7,000mAh battery - waiting for Realme to release their 10,000mAh battery phone - probably next year, hahaha…

For iPhone, the Pro Max is not just for the battery but also for the display… I do sometimes consume some media off my phone when I don’t have my iPad with me and it’s just a bit better to have the extra screen estate on the Pro Max smile.gif
They will also use a square sensor for their next phones? laugh.gif

Ya they will need that kind of sensor to get it worked I guess. 🤪

My issue is that Apple talk about it like it’s optical zoom. It’s not. It’s equivalent. 🤭

I don’t doubt the results will be better than 16PM at 8x with crop. But this marketing speak irks me. Try to confuse us.

The more I look, the more the vanilla 17 is a “pro” phone without the tele camera. Sudah ada promotion.
*
If iPhone 17 is iPhone 17 plus I believe more ppl will buy it, Becos most ppl especially Asians had gotten used to big display already. No doubt 17 this year has the best CP value, but I guess those who get used to bigger display may not buy it.

I think this is the real reason why Apple killed the plus actually.

Ultimately, many may be forced to buy the pro max after all.

Sometime over cool down macam also not good

I remember last time my iPhone SE (gen1) gaming and i stuck it to the aircon in the car there
Battery bloat jor after that sweat.gif

Not sure these day battery how if compare to 9 years ago iPhone SE though.
*
My iPhone SE first gen also bloated. I love the phone very much. Not it cannot be used anymore.

Maxis offer additional RM500. For ip15PM 256, it is up to RM3275 just now I checked. But maxis need to tie in to their contract lorrr..

Seriously, unless one really need the postpaid contract to pay the new phone under instalment else seriously no pt to subscribe postpaid plan to get the iPhone.

As iPhone without contract (even at full retail price) + cheap monthly prepaid plan is way cheaper. Not to mention to wait for one month or less, authorised dealer or online platform shopping vouchers will make the phone even cheaper. And online platform or even authorised dealer can also buy at instalments.

Some may argue that postpaid bill payment can be auto which no need to top up and buy plan etc. but all these can be done by celcomdigi prepaid also. It can work like postpaid even.

Pickpocketing is not a new stuff especially in Europe, it is happening for many years already. My 12PM was pickpocketed in Barcelona at the end of February, and my bag was opened in Athens in 2023, I lost some money. Apple is simply looking for ways to generate more revenue. If they were really concerned about safety, they would have done it a long time ago. laugh.gif

if going overseas especially those far away and dangerous one like europe, better buy travel insurance, at least can claim for loss. tongue.gif

Yes, I did, and I received a substantial amount for the loss of my 12 PM (not sharing the amount though tongue.gif). I always purchase travel insurance for all my trips, even to Bangkok. laugh.gif

ic. that's good.

bangkok actually needs travel insurance the most. It is dangerous there. tongue.gif

based on the pre-order status at apple store.

silver -> orange -> blue

512gb/2tb - less popular storage option.

blue colour most unwanted colour

iphone 17 pro, air, 17 all not sold out for day 1. tongue.gif

Silver being the popular color of choice surprises me a little. I thought it’d be orange > silver > blue

i actually guessed that this will be the case. silver at least it is close to natural metal colour (or technically i dun consider it as colour at all, as it is the original metal colour). tongue.gif

orange is very special, but not all may appreciate the colour. not to mention this year it was reverted back to cheaper metal aluminium. the colour on it makes it feel even cheaper. tongue.gif

Not sure how durable is the anodized coating for aluminium this round. But so far the coatings used on stainless steel and titanium iPhones previously were quite durable.

have a feel that it maybe like last time iphone 7 the jet black colour? which can chip easier than stainless steel or titanium? tongue.gif

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

observation at TRX selling status for day 1 pick up
after 256gb/1tb sold out for both silver and orange

orange got catch up on the selling for 512gb which silver still has

2TB - still got stock..

pre-order via any other channels beyond apple official store already got so much discount. tongue.gif

it really makes buying from apple store the worst deal ever which is something unexpected. iPhones used to be the case of 0 discount especially at the earlier stage launch period even via 3rd party authorised dealers but recent years iphones no longer the case.

When people say there is no need for the rear camera protector.

I don't know what happened to mine but I am sure glad I had one on  sweat.gif

I had never applied lense protectors before and none of my iPhones camera got scratches.

This guy and his dog are my favourite case and screen protector reviewers on youtube.

The main pro of Apple cases is guaranteed perfect fit for early bird iPhone buyers. Other case makers use dummy mockups based on leaks, so there’s a chance they might be 0.5mm off here and there (majority won’t admit and will silently fix their cases in the next batch after the real iPhones are out). The other benefit of Apple cases is perfectly functioning camera control button feedback.

I’m a fan of Apple’s silicon cases. They last surprisingly long without getting loose and are friendly to most screen protectors. Hopefully these new techwoven ones are just as good.
*
The problem with apple silicon case is always that the stains especially oil etc. will build on it over time. Almost unavoidably unless u wear grove to hold it.

Once there were stains on the case, it will look quite dusting and the feeling of holding it will become very bad.
