my iPhone 14 pro is giving me signal to change :\

3th December 2024 : 86% (150 days)
18th June 2025 : 85% (197 days)
10th July 2025 : 84% (22 days)
12th July 2025 : 83% (2 days)
15th July 2025 : 82% (3 days)
19th July 2025 : 81% (4 days)

Mine 70++% for long time already.

I think these are rustic colors. Pastel is softer and more muted.
I like rustic for its aesthetic and earthy.

I think I'll have to go see hands on before jumping on the color. But i'm a case person... so it won't matter much if i just SLAPPP a case over it.

For me, I will always go for the special color for the model. Though that blue also looks nice. I will go for that orange one.

Or you can change the battery and save some money

I can't really tell the difference between my iPhone 14 Pro Max and the latest iPhone 16 Pro Max in terms of daily usage.

True that
But if he has other devices the usb-c is really convenient. I get to bring just 1 charger and cable to swap between my laptop and iPhone 15. I’m trying to get him to upgrade from the 14 Pro hahahaha

I didn’t feel any performance difference between 16 Pro Max and vanilla 15…. Because I just use browser, YouTube and WhatsApp. Went from black ti to natural ti.. and back to 15 since I like the form factor more. 16 Pro is unnecessarily heavy compared to plain 15 so I didn’t bother.

I want to find excuse to upgrade to 17 pro… still finding

Lol ... legend XD

Unless 17 pro has bigger changes on all camera, otherwise i might choose to do battery replacement:)

USB-C alone already can push me to upgrade already cause IT CAN CONNECT EXTERNAL SDD for continuous photo/recording

Just that 16 pro improvement really minor and majority like advertising Apple AI (which meh)

Lai Lai upgrade

Yes 16 pro max was meh for me. Now 17 pro also meh for me. I backup photos from my 15 to a USB C thumb drive also very fast.

The selling point for 16 actually was the apple intelligence , if they could make the apple intelligence great , actually it will shine the 16 series , but it's sad that it is not.

Another feature that i like from the iphone 16 was the filter bar , it make editing so much easy even for a newbie that dont understand those Exposure/Saturation/Highlight/Shadow. Just playing around and it's so easy to find the right spot. Seriously it save damn alot of time that from previous iphone that u need tuning the expose/highlight/shadow 1 by 1.




So far this feature don't available on any android phone , only the recent release huawei pura 80 ultra actually do copy this filter bar which they called as "XMAGE"

Guess 17 pro is my next change :\

Today iP14P battery health 80% after 5 days from 81%


Wait? 120 refresh rate on regular 17 ??

So if 120hz on iPhone 17 will you go for 17?
I'm wondering if i should get 17PM x 2 or 17PM + 17/P

Pro Max all the way la.

Will still go for 17 pro cause Apple sure won't change the usb-c port speed (3.0 vs 2.0) for regular 17 for another year

Unless 17 pro this year goes USB 4.0 which i dun think they will.

That USB speed is critical for transferring and recording 4k60

18PM owaii

Wah, no need to use a screen protector then.

You sure ah boss? SP very cheap only. RM10 can get... whatever story they say end up also scratch 1 la.
This feature alone not enough to go for Pro for me.

Don't see compelling reason leh. Especially vanilla 17 got 120hz liao

For photographers..they rejoice lah.. telephoto with 48mp

RM 10 quality is bad. Anyway, I will still use one screen protector la.

But I'm always a Pro Max user, won't consider anything lower than that.
