iphone 17 is having very high CP value indeed. However, it has the greatest flaws is that majority of ppl still prefer bigger display since iphone 6 plus era.

so many will still be forced to buy 17 pro max if they want bigger display if they are not happy with Air.
Obviously apple knows about this and they remove 17 plus this year. else if there was 17 Plus, it may be one of the hottest model ppl buy this year.  tongue.gif

I think you’re right. You want a big display, you want the camera, no more 17 Plus, so it’s Pro Max.

QUOTE(dev/numb @ Sep 17 2025, 05:57 PM)
Yes, I agree. Regular 17 is the first non pro model in the last 4-5 years that isn’t insulting its buyers by not including any new front facing features. Imho, it should always have been like this. Give the pro line faster chips, more RAM and better cameras, but everything else should be the same tech.

Well, they needed more differentiating factor. But finally in 2025, the vanilla got 120hz screen. Android been laughing at iPhone fans for the longest time.

so what colors are you all choosing for your iPhone 17? I had my eyes set on Sage but now suddenly I think I might go for White. Its been a very long time since I have a white iPhone lol. I dunno, I have to see them all IRL before I make a final decision. I have to say the pro line up colors are not too attractive for me. I dont like how it the colors are just too metallic and there is a two tone thing going on. Anyway this is about the 17 not Pro so ....

This photo, I think white looks better. I’ve always went black, except the 13 mini I went product red. But I agree with you, white is nice. Can’t wait to see the orange Pro in person.

from the review, can tell iphone 17 actually has exactly same processor in the SoC like iphone Air, with has 5 GPU. Only difference is that Air SoC has 12GB ram instead of 8GB thus has the A19 Pro chip name.

Looking at the geekbench socre, actually the scores are similar, in fact sometimes 17 may score slightly higher maybe due to the better heat dispersion.

dun think u can get the iphone 17 for first batch now.

no pt to get 15 or 16e at all.

but since u need a phone, if u dun want to end up regretting for not buying 17. maybe u should find a spare phone from family members, friends or whatever. or maybe buy a super cheap android basic phone to cover this period first.

reviews showed that iPhone Air battery is actually as good as 16 Pro.
so dun think battery is a main concern for Air.

Phone battery normally will be good when its new , but smaller capacity battery will be pain after the battery health start drop , will feel big different. And dont forgot those youtube battery test dont install ALL the app u using everyday , when u really install all the app u needed , and the amount of notification u receive everyday might impact to the battery life too , and we dont know the other iPhone 16 series they use to test on the video is new unit or a year b4 unit? It need to be all new unit to have a more accurate test in my opinion.

Watch alot of those battery life battle on youtube , sometime in the real world it might be different story doh.gif

ultimately it is individual preference anyway.

ultimately whoever has concern over battery can eliminate Air from the choice in the first place.
Same goes to single camera, single speaker, usb 2.0 etc.

those who are interested in Air will welcome to see the promising test at least.

My brain says base 17 but my heart tell me to get the Air

Never like the Pro Max lineup but I like the idea of vapor chamber

My work environment is very hot

Iphone 17 of course. Im sure you can get a unit at any of the resellers or apple store if you are not too picky about the colour and storage. There is enough stocks for everyone.

Get Pro? Won’t have regrets with heat with the VP. It’s a good alt to the base 17.

BNPL usually only 3 months will be 0% right? more than that will charge, cashback also not worth it

also.. i think there are some companies doing those installment BNPL thing at their own rates. i remember seeing it on FB, many people with no credit score used those service, after 2 years macam paying for 2x device.

Sometimes 3 months, sometimes 6 months. I do use BNPL 1 month 0% for my other transactions and earn cash back when I pay back to BNPL. So not all BNPLs are bad.

for smaller transactions yeah, BNPLs are good. heck, even shopeefood i use BNPL 0%. small purchases like RM40 if got 6 months 0% i'll just use it also.

but the public are generally illiterate financially, it can be very addictive since it's not using own card's limit.

Those were telcos and official dealers delivery but only a few selected orders will get such priority. laugh.gif

Now no more. laugh.gif

I showed my mom 17 sage and lavender and she said she is OK with them. I guess I will get one of these two colors for her, but maybe on 11.11.
