would there be an option for malaysia market to buy either the esim + nano or fully esim for the Pro model?

What's the difference between ip17pm and ip16pm? i see on spec different chipset, larger battery capacity?

No, ours is only physical SIM+eSIM variant.

Your existing phone is ip16pm? The hand feeling of the titanium feeling feel like plastic

14 pro max battery life cmi, 73% capacity left, got it on day 1. and it costs rm449 to replace the battery. insane.

Currently using ip12 and thinking which to get 17pro / pro max 258gb

The different is only rm500

Yes, I'm using 16PM. Plastic? No la. More premium feeling but too bad it is aluminum for 17 Pro series for better heat dissipation.

12 will be a huge huge huge upgrade to 17 pro or pro max.



yes, titanium frame on 15 and 16 pro series feel damn good and looks damn premium.

17 pro max looks really a big downgrade on this aspect.

So fast got discount already?


Attached thumbnail(s)

They did explain it is for the thermal reason.

Oh sold out as well.

Pre-order only, starts on the 12th

i think the discount is from shopee's voucher itself and not the distributor

Yes. It is most likely Shopee's voucher.

Anyway, which case to recommend and screen protector?

Also, did anyone pre-order their iPhone 16 last year with Apple and got it on day 1 via shipping, not from Klang Valley?

I’m currently back in Seremban and thinking to go back KL only after next week. I'm not sure if I should go back to KL earlier just for the iPhone 17, assuming I’m lucky and manage to get into the first batch.

Let wait the 17 pro max telezoom quality first only decide , if the telezoom not so impress , u can just use chinese flagship for photo , then get iphone 17 is more than enough. Somehow i feel that really a great combo without break your bank unless u dont mind paying for the 17pm price.


The main reason to go for 17pm is the telezoom camera , because it upgrade from 12mp to 48mp , and the selfie camera have the new sensor , if u really care more about photo/video , then directly go for 17pm , if u dont too care about it , then can go with 16pm , but must get at the best price only worth it for now.


If u don games , the 17pro should can ngam ngam last u a day , or u just need extra 1 charge in the office / car , some people just dont like the size of Pro Max because it's too bulky.

But if u ask me , 17 Pro for Rm5499 is not that worth , because by adding more Rm500 u get big screen , day & night battery life , the pro max battery life just another level compared to pro version. Either go iphone 17 , or directly go for Pro Max.

Reason to go PRO version for sure u will be more heavy user that might need take alot of video/photo for your work right , so battery life should be your main concert , only Pro Max can fit your need.
If u are not so heavy user , the 17 now come with dual 48mp sensor camera , 120hz ProMotion , is more than enough for daily task. Save the money to get more accessory like airpods pro 3 or apple watch better.

I will only go for 17PRO if can get discounted price below Rm5k because it just not worth RM5499

Maybe this year I will try to buy the iPhone through Apple Store Website and pickup in store...anybody try last year and does the process smooth?

Super smooth, I picked up mine from TRX last year.

Heard that switch and machine offer RM299 battery replacement for 12 13 14 iphone.

oh no.. i have 15 and 11. not included in the discount?

Anyone trade in their old iPhone last year at trx when buying iPhone 16 pro max?

Was it easy and quick?

My 15 pro max seems to be max valued at 3k

Want to upgrade to 17 pro max this year

I heard that 11 was on the list too , but it's limited time , u do need follow Switch facebook for the offer , 15 might be next year

I will use my Ip for atleast 4-5 years as my main phone and buy another android phone just for gaming & as secondary phone

Last few iphone im using all non pro version so thinking wanting to try the pro version, i will be using the phone for 4-5 years (if phone no problem)

All my gaming is on android phone so Ip 256gb storage is enough for me to use
