Doesn't really matter what material it is made of since most users will have a backcover on the phone all the time.

But yes, using cheaper materials will save Apple a lot of money and ultimately much higher profits.

I think most important factor Apple might move from titanium to aluminium might be aluminium have more excellent heat dissipation.
*
That might be a reason. Anyway I bet 90% of users won't notice the difference anyway. So confirm getting at 17PM this round?

Agree too , because most of us was case on , but what i know for europe or american user, most of them tend to using naked , most youtuber u see they are using naked , not even a screen protector lol. So maybe the feeling might be problem for them.
*
I feel the phone is too slippery to use without case.

Since we are already paying so much for the phone, the more the better I'd say. tongue.gif

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

This made me curious, do you guys get scratch from keyless entry car remote ?
*
Yes. You can get very fine scratches on your camera or your screen from that.

Got such an expensive phone... Atrocious to slap a cheap one.. Hoda sapphire the best so far..

It's like buying insurance.. if nothing happens, all good. If sometime happens, either u cry or u thank god mode.

Also flolab screen protector ya... Except if 17 series got anti reflection... Wonder can still put a AR screen protector or not.
*
Sure can la. If not what are accesories manufacturers like Hoda etc going to make money of? laugh.gif

Anyway many didn't look closely at my earlier picture. Its not scratched. The glass on the camera protector is cracked. whistling.gif

Anyone planning to change from 13 Pro to 17 Pro / 17? As a concert go-ers, wondering how good is the telezoom on 17 pro vs s25 ultra 🤔
*
No matter how good the zoom would be, the phone would never be able to record clear recordings during concerts where you sit so far away from the state and with dimmed lightning. Food for thought.

Wow...that is good price. Once you replace the battery on an old iphone, the desire to buy the latest Iphone goes downwards. tongue.gif

Then u really have to look into vivo x100 ultra , vivo x200pro , vivo x200 ultra and the latest Huawei pura 80 ultra , those are concert king  biggrin.gif  NO joke bro their telezoom with 200mp is on another level.  Samsung? Can totally ignore it.
Yeah , once your battery health drop below 80% , the phone performance will drop , so by replace new battery, u can get back full performance for your old phone.
*
Haha.. I have only tried Samsung. Never tried Pura 80 Ultra and Vivo X200 Ultra. But like I mentioned, damn dark in the concert halls. I dont think the videos will turn out good.


Ya bro.. Change battery for Rm299. Save few thousands for a new phone. biggrin.gif

My kid’s currently using my 14 Pro Max too which is also around 73% battery health, what a coincidence, haha. He’s gonna inherit my 16 Pro Max after I get the 17 Pro Max so I think he’s more excited about me upgrading than I am, hahaha…
I have a feeling it won’t be. If that’s important for you I think you need to consider one of those Androids that can do the x100 zoom or something
Bro! It’s been long! Are you upgrading this round?
I am old enough to remember a time when a made in China product garnered much less enthusiasm, hahaha…
Hmm, it just occurred to me that having an orange phone would kinda limit the choices of case colours to match?
*
Haha.. 73% battery health is still good la. No need to replace the battery.
laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif


Nope... Not changing this round. Not making Apple a Gazillion dollar company... shakehead.gif

I've read from amanz facebook page apple 60w charging adapter for ip17 will cost rm169

Could just get any 60W-65W Gan charger to charge your Iphone. Doesn't necessarily need to use the original charging brick from Apple.

I do have beasus 65w gan charger at my office, but at home just use apple 20w charger since it came along with my iphone 16 pro max, plus its free during the purchased
*
I don't like to charge my phone using fast charging. I feel it will cause faster degradation on the battery.

QUOTE(attw @ Sep 10 2025, 09:37 PM)
I just saw the keynote and before it I was like pretty sure it’s gonna be orange for me but now I’m being swayed more and more towards deep blue, hahaha…
I usually don’t buy Apple cases coz I try not to spend above RM150 for a case - so I usually go with the Spigen ones or really bulky Zagg ones - function over form! laugh.gif
Yeah, no plans to change his battery for him. Besides, he’s getting my 16 Pro Max which still has 99% battery health once I get the 17 so all good, haha… Oh, and btw, I think the Gazillion dollar company is gonna be Nvidia - not Apple laugh.gif
Pro Max - go big or go home? Hahaha…
*
Ya true. Its either the Pro Max or nothing. You are right. Go big or go home. laugh.gif

Anyway...Am waiting for drama here. If there would be any. rolleyes.gif

Maybe I’ll go with Deep Blue so I don’t have to rebut with all the folks eyeing orange, hahaha… But yeah, the blue is kinda boring, but it’s a safe boring? wink.gif
I’m sure there would be… the first thing I can think of is potential scuffs and scratches on the anodised aluminium body - remember the days of the iPhone 7 Plus?
*
Im actually thinking of the Iphone 7 Air instead. The slim design is a refresher rather than the "slightly better processor and camera of Pro Max" which honestly we wont notice or need.

QUOTE(decavalera @ Sep 11 2025, 10:59 AM)
Same here, default black. so will choose Deep blue here.. looking back at the purple 14P, dun recognize much the purple color, more to black..
You meant additional offer that got the 20W rite.
You wont get any adapter if buying PM rite?
*
You would never get any charging bricks with any Iphones in this life ever because Apple wants to make you pay for it so that they can make additional profits out of it laugh.gif .

me too always a pro max person when it comes to iphone, but ever since I used a smaller android this year, I'm having dilemma now... the smaller size phone actually fit the hand much better, using it more coz of the smaller form factor as well.... and I heard the battery on the pro is not too bad compare to PM...dilemma dilemma..
you're ok with the smaller battery?
*
Im in for trying something new. Bored with the PM series already. Been using so many iterations for so many donkey years and tbh its all the same shit. laugh.gif

nowadays we change phone faster than the battery degrades... all stucked at BH 88-89% after 2 years usage....

abo i still have the 5w charger if you interested....
*
Haha.. Thanks but I still have the 5w charging brick at home. Im using the normal fast charger but not the Gan chargers. Using the 5w charging brick to charge the Pro Max would take ages. laugh.gif

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

Bro.. its like buying an EV but fearing the need to queue at the charging station to charge it for long outstation drives. laugh.gif
