Or you can change the battery and save some money tongue.gif

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.

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

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
*
USB-C alone already can push me to upgrade already cause rclxs0.gif IT CAN CONNECT EXTERNAL SDD for continuous photo/recording thumbup.gif

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

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.

Guess 17 pro is my next change :\

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
*
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 biggrin.gif

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

Let's guess what's the expected price for the base model of 17PM. For 16PM - 256GB it was priced at RM 5999.

I do have an Apple gift card of RM 1150 to use, and I plan to trade in my current 16PM. Last year I traded in the 15PM 256GB for 3.7k. Since I have no plan to use the gift card on other stuff, I will just use it for the 17PM.
*
Since it's a gift card, come, GIFT me biggrin.gif rclxm9.gif

I hope the price 256GB (and no more 128GB please) stays like current gen sweat.gif
RM5,999 or maybe lower thanks to USD depreciating - RM5,799

laugh.gif You slowly dream. tongue.gif I purposely keep it for the 17PM. biggrin.gif
Since 15PM, no more 128GB for PM. Of course, Pro still has 128GB.

Hopefully it will be cheaper and tariff supposedly doesn't affect 3C products, they better keep to their words.
*
Didn't know 15PM no more 128GB option, lol

And now Switch (Apple authorised) gonna have promo of RM299 battery exchange for 12,13,14 series in Sarawak from 11th August - 11th Sept
I am expecting it to be like September month sweat.gif
Like after getting 17PM / 17P during September , transfer then go change battery for it as backup phone.

128 really a wastage one, ios + system probably taken about 10GB. Which left not much, u suka suka take some photo or video of your family/love one....+ app now size is not minimalistic one.....
256 should be the minimum....

Can't imagine last time how I survive with 64gb iphone xD

We even have 8GB & 16GB iphone before..

wow, i normally backup all video to my laptop. last time only sub 50gb, now sub 200gb one (enough for me already) with 512gb.

I also have 128gb ipad mini, this one is acceptable la, because really for light use. Like reading/browsing purpose. If wan heavy usage better buy ipad pro  brows.gif
*
now iPhone 14P 128GB + 250GB iCloud
iPad pro 2020 also 128GB

Mac Mini M2 - 256GB basically for me to backup route for photo cause iCloud already like very full too sweat.gif

I wanted something like 1TB iCloud but unfortunately from 200GB, the next leap is 2TB. laugh.gif
I went to a lot of concerts in the past, so I kept taking photos/videos and there was once it ran out of storage during a concert and I quickly upgraded my plan to 2TB on the spot. laugh.gif Now using 650GB.
*
2TB quite pricey but it's actually same price like Apple One individual which i subscribed now sweat.gif

RM44.90 - Apple One Individual (50GB iCloud + Music + TV + Arcade) where i only utilise iCloud and music technically

Yes, that's why I don't want to subscribe Apple One because 50GB and I don't use the rest. For Apple Music, I am subscribing to the student plan, so it's cheaper.

Right now 250GB iCloud i have to rajin transfer out monthly.

See how this iPhone 17 Pro/PM photo consumption how also, later one photo or video getting bigger also headache sweat.gif

Btw, does last few years iPhone Malaysia launch has stock issue?

As in keep out of stock for first month.

I know China has no issue cause those "yellow cow" mostly rugi business as per news.

Yes, usually if confirm getting it then should pre-order once it is announced. Otherwise, if you are waiting for ready stock to buy right away, the first few weeks will be tough to get, especially the special color.
*
Cause might order using telco plan - CelcomDigi Family Plus under Celcom One Pro/Ultra on the Easy360 package

Need see the device plan discount pricing first too.

And Family Plus - RM26.5 (SST inclusive) after 50% off

Then the plan will be out once it is ready for pre-order, you can see whether it is worth. Maybe buying from Shopee/Lazada/TikTok Shop later is cheaper, if can wait.
*
If based on last year memory, i recall the discount is like RM1k+ for Family Plus plan on iPhone 16 Pro / Pro Max using 36 months contract.

Since i will be using 36 months using CC instalments if to purchase from those store like senheng / harvey, probably will just grab CelcomDigi's for instant discount (in monthly based)
