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. This post has been edited by chongkiatz: Sep 13 2025, 11:05 AM

QUOTE(jimcarrey @ Sep 13 2025, 10:22 AM) Aiyo. Any chance if you'll know the turnaround time from you request till the carrier send you the esim? Instantaneous or have to wait? And the charge might be a deal breaker in thw long run. I switch phone depends on the occasion. For work I use my Fold, if I go cycling/exercise/travel light I switch to my iPhone etc. If you be present at your network provider's outlet then it would be immediate. Otherwise it would take 12 to 24 hours. Some telco wont even send online.

I see. Thx for all the quick response. Then Air might not be a viable option for me anymore as it is esim capable only. Imagine 10 bux gone just to change phone as and when I like.

However, I love eSIMs though been using it for my own personal Digi number and company number with physical SIM. Whenever I travel I just buy eSIMs.

Hassle free.

QUOTE(chongkiatz @ Sep 13 2025, 08:55 AM) 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. And don’t forget to factor in the MagSafe battery pack for RM479 if you need the peace of mind for your battery life. You might be better off getting the 17 Pro.

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.

Not sure how true is this but it's good for consumer to get the upgrade feeling. If true, I hope this is the case for larger tablet screens also. The iPad mini is my favourite Apple device, and the only thing I hate is the slow screen. If you’re the type that reads quickly while simultaneously scrolling, it makes a huge difference. Considering that Apple’s new foldable will likely get 120hz, I hope they don’t neglect the iPad mini line.

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. This post has been edited by chongkiatz: Sep 13 2025, 02:12 PM

QUOTE(adrive @ Sep 13 2025, 07:28 AM) Imho, air will be eaten by 16e/17e. The single camera needs to be much better than usual. I think it may still have the limitation of only able to take portrait of humans. Its weight is just 2gram lighter than 16e. Screen size is different though. So it is not exactly apple to apple comparison.
