I dont mean it will die on the mid day , like u fully charge at the morning , replying email , social media some photo/video , and it might left around 40-50% in the 2-3pm , so to be more secure , might need topup alittle bit back to 80-90% for maybe night dinner or meeting til home , for such slim and light weight phone , i think topup in the middle of day is fair enough.


About the USB 2.0 , i think apple really focus more on cloud service or wirelessly rather than cable. Me myself also rarely use cable expect for charging only If want to transfer anything to windows laptop , just using LocalSend and it can cross-over all platform.



Definitely worth for first launching , then buy a magsafe powerbank to backup then u wont ever have battery life anxiety

yes the only downside was backup via iTunes might be slow for usb 2.0 , but i think just use wireless backup will do


And in 2025 , do actually people stil using iTunes? At least among my friend and family , dont surprise that non-of them actually knowing iTunes , only old user might know iTunes because we need using it to update our device in old day and now , everything to cloud and wireless.





Found back 2012 picture , using itunes to update the iOS , updating iOS in old day was damn scary , will sudden pop-up error

I never try the wireless iTunes before but i do heard it can be done , maybe u can follow this guide line.

Maybe can find few family member and friend to share the 2tb , as i know it can share up to 5 user right. And it will be totally seperate , wont mix your thing to the share acc.

That why i dont use itunes for a long long long time , my video and photo in the google photo and important file in google drive , nothing had to worry and really totally forgot about itunes.

Owh , mean that it doesnt work on air for full backup , i think apple give up to update the itunes feature.

Thx for the information. That help.

Ask yourself are u heavy user and game? If yes , the VC and full alluminium body might help on release the heat , if u are not heavy user , the telezoom + VC might be not justify the extra rm1500. I will only go 17 pro if the price below rm5000 , anything more than that isnt worth.

Apple very clever this round , kill the 128gb of PRO , make the gap diff only rm500 for pro & max , and i doubt most of the people consider the PRO might just add-on the extra rm500 for bigger battery and forgot about the size 😆 (ala beza rm500 only ma , then u got better battery life and big screen , direct go pro max la) that mind 😂

Cod , x jadi
2nd cod , x jadi
3rd cod , x jadi

At the end waste time , trade in to apple , peace of mind 😂

I think due to iphone drop their price starting from the 15 series , and 16 drop even more , people are getting clever , wont pre-order on the first batch and wait drop price only grab it.

Air priced at rm4999 , for this price , it got too much choice, spending almost rm4999 just to get the light weight feeling cant justify the price i think , the air is just like spending for the technology for a small group of people.

i do read some china article show that why Apple this round going for 120hz for the base device.

The reason might be not much company stil making the 60hz screen anymore , 60hz will be discontinue soon , and the cost of 120hz screen nowaday might cheaper than 60hz , just like if u finding a DDR2 ram for your PC might be more pricy than DDR4/5.

Not sure how true is this but it's good for consumer to get the upgrade feeling.

Yeah , the only reason for me to go air is that u appreciate the technology and willing to pay that much money , rm4999 just not practical for such phone in my own opinion.

Because alot of screen company already widely use 120hz even for their low end phone , 60hz already can enter to museum haha , anything can widely process will be the most low price , for tablet size i think stil not widely use , because some android tablet stil using at least 90hz , maybe will see a 90hz ipad mini?

Apple very pandai kira one under tim lead , they just can be as kedekut as much as they can.







China dont want to implement e-SIM , so iphone AIR temporary doesnt open sell in China. That is big impact for Apple.

Less function? List me what do u mean by less function.

Lol , because of this then iphone in china will cheaper? Then why call screening didnt support in malaysia then doesnt seen that malaysia iphone didnt sell at cheaper price?

And seriously, who stil using faceTime nowadays , whatsapp is the king , facetime and iMessage is only USA thing, totally useless feature out of the region. Even Europe people admit that facetime/iMessage is useless in their country.

Yes , very unpopular here , even in the europe , go read the message on reddit , how many out of USA region people using facetime / imessage , cklove96 saying that iphone in CHINA cheap because of "Facetime" , but seriously , how many of people besides USA country buying an iphone because of FACETIME? that doesnt make sense , and i dont STOP people using facetime / imessage , i just saying that in malaysia , 99% most of the time people using whatsapp > those feature. The first thing people get new device or transfer from iOS > android > iOS , whatsapp is the first priority , did u ever seen a post in lowyat forum that iOS user plan to jumpship to Android , BUT will missing "Facetime / iMessage" thing? Or android user jumpship to iOS because of "Facetime / iMessage". Let face the reality.

i'm not arguing the Facetime feature , my point is , the "Facetime" alone doesnt make the iphone price cheaper on CHINA. That doesnt make sense at all. THe price drop so fast because their market competitive is another level , china now well known famous and very fast moving of technology , iphone no longer can hold the ORIGINAL PRICE like last time in there.


Then can i argue that Japan iphone cheaper than malaysia price by abit , because Japan iphone can't shut down the Shutter sound even in silent mode? No Right..... i feel cklove96 just give a dumb reason. I really laugh die when he reply "Because china can't use facetime that why iphone is cheaper there"


Cant Facetime make iphone cheap in china - best joke of the year

hahaha..... maybe , i say maybe ya , iphone in future will be like purchasing Tesla? The phone will come with basic feature , if u want SIRI add RM200 , if u want AI add RM500 , if u want Call Screening add Rm200

yes correct , this feature doesn't available in our region.

U correct by half , for iphone 17 , the screen was MIX with BOE samsung LG , while iphone 17 pro and max will be stil using only Samsung & LG.

BOE stil a top notch screen company , do u own any BOE screen phone? I do own one actually and i got nothing bad comment on it , no rainbow effect , no light leaking , and i believe BOE already meet the requirement to qualify into the Apple device. It just time matter , china screen will soon widely use
