I am anxiously waiting for this year's iPhone. Hope no delays for the Malaysian market like my MacBook.
I waited so long for my M4 MacBook Air. Love the TRX Apple buy on the spot experience...
Anyway, a few weeks after I got my Mac I found out that my previous Mac was received on the same date April 11 exactly 10 years apart. Such coincidence. At that time it wasn't out for the Malaysian market yet but Apple allowed us to order early before the GST kicks in.

Aluminum is better as it is normally very scratch resistant.

QUOTE(fruitie @ Aug 24 2025, 03:17 PM) Last year iPhone 16 was the first year we can get directly from TRX. Better or not, it’s up to individual. For the hype, yes get from TRX but need to queue up because the daily stocks may not be a lot and special colors will finish quicker. Otherwise can pre-order from Apple and collect from TRX or get them delivered to you. If in terms of pricing and one can wait, then wait for a month, most likely authorized dealers will start reducing prices on online platforms like Shopee, Lazada and TikTok shop. Thankfully I will be getting silver and not planning on getting any of those new colors.

QUOTE(fruitie @ Aug 28 2025, 08:36 PM) No, it is my best iPhone to-date. Until today it is still 100% battery health, though it will be one year old soon. I change because I just suka-suka want to upgrade.  I hope the raise camera bump on the upper half rumor is true. I kinda like how it looks.

QUOTE(fruitie @ Aug 30 2025, 01:38 AM)  You still remember that incident. Time really flies, that was in 2020, and my dad already passed away in 2022.  That was my only Slim Case and I didn't buy anymore because I don't know if it is worth the price...  My condolences.  It is not worth it. Sure it looks nice but slim case can't really give a good protection as it might just came off after a drop. Plus the case I got had a minor peel at the side just a few months after use. I have to use a nail cutter to cut it off.

QUOTE(dreamthief @ Aug 18 2025, 09:37 PM) Titanium is better scratch resistant actually. You can fact check this. I think not a bad strategy. Pro series use titanium and non pro on aluminum to differentiate it instead of always use camera and display. Looks like orange is the go to color? The silver like color also looks nice. Feels like a cheapskate move… u know for so many donkey years aluminum has been for the non pro phones….

I am using the ah beng pouch to put my phone in it. Because of this I am seriously considering the pro max version since the issue with big phones in the pocket is a non issue now plus with lighter aluminum. But I still do not like that gimmick swipe down gestures for effective one hand operation on larger phones. Still prefer the thumb reaching out to the corners.

I felt the leaks are mostly true since Steve Jobs passing. The most secretive was the iPhone X but everything else was really just out there up until the whole design thing.

This new design very nice. It makes the phone also looks very camera pro like.

QUOTE(attw @ Sep 8 2025, 11:59 AM) Ahh, ok, I’ve googled and taken a look at the leaks. I’m so in for the orange! Although, dark blue would be nice too - boring, but safe  In terms of hardware, I do think nothing in the tech world is shielded from leaks anymore these days, haha. I also don’t think there will be that much innovation-wise from the software this round - most of the changes is already made known with the iOS 26 reveal. Anyway, fingers crossed Apple will still find a way to surprise us. You mean the bar behind that houses the cameras? I can foresee Pixel fans screaming “plagiarism” from a mile away already, hahaha….  Hahaha the Android has it years ahead before iPhone topic will be fresh again with this new release. 1.5 days left for the unveiling. Hope there’s some slight variation

QUOTE(fruitie @ Sep 9 2025, 03:10 PM) As preparation for changing to your new iPhone, CelcomDigi can also apply eSIM online now, like Maxis. https://get.celcomdigi.com/esimTo transfer an eSIM to a new phone, select "Get a Replacement eSIM," which is also free, just like in the Digi Store.  Thanks to Piers for sharing this information in the Digi thread earlier. No need to go to the store anymore?

I am getting the Pro. Will get the pro max if the advantages is bigger battery and also better camera. It looks like this year the difference is just bigger battery.

QUOTE(dikae @ Sep 11 2025, 11:24 AM) 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? It seems much more improved for the 17 Pro over the 16 Pro.

I feel like wanting to trade in my iPhone but this will add too many things to fill up during preorder. Scared out of stock. I am also wondering about the possible demand. Anyway this is 3nm process for the 3rd time so I doubt TSMC has problems churning this out in huge quantities. Maybe for the next iPhone 18 that is going to be a 2nm.

QUOTE(fruitie @ Sep 12 2025, 08:33 PM) I think they will send the email soon, not today I supposed. Last year I didn't purchase my phone on day 1, I decided to buy 8 days later and collected it on the same day.  The trade-in email came 1 hour after I placed order. Yes, can cancel. Nevermind I just check at it on the check out page. They will refund to my payment method. This post has been edited by soitsuagain: Sep 12 2025, 09:28 PM
