let's just say I wish to trade in my iPhone 15 for iPhone Air, then later how to install esim? because all iPhone 17 variants here comes with esim only right?

i have hotlink Postpaid physical sim in my iPhone 15, so later I need to go to nearest Maxis center to convert from physical to esim?
need to do this BEFORE or AFTER i buy iPhone Air?

i think esim is great for secondary backup telco numbers but not for main number. I prefer physical in case i wish to trade in my phone in the future.
i see why esim is such a hassle if you have it as your only number.  sweat.gif  doh.gif

Since you are going to buy the new iPhone air:
1. You can convert the current physical SIM to eSIM on iPhone 15. Just go to settings>cellulor data, click on your hotlink number and there is option to convert to eSIM. The conversion is immediate.
2. After you got the new iPhone air, finish setup the iPhone using wifi. Then go to Settings>Mobile Data>add eSIM, choose transfer from nearby phone and follow the process.

No need the hassle of going to Maxis centre to request eSIM now. Mostly people reported that for Maxis, the eSIM transfer does not work during initial setup, have to finish setting up the new iPhone and then transfer from mobile data settings.

Thanks dude.

Didnt know we can directly convert the physical sim to eSim inside our iPhones.

Does this applies to other telcos as well?

Did more research between iPhone 17 vs 16 Pro... frankly the A19 really whack the A18 Pro kaw kaw, even with 1 less GPU core. And since both also 8GB the 16 Pro don't really have any upside.

Which comes down to all the Pro features like faster USB-C, ProRaw, Prores Log (3 features for people do shooting), the telephoto lens with 8x optical, LiDAR and better fusion cameras with bigger sensors.

17 you get better selfie camera, better battery life, better performance.. Ini 17 really... one of the best base iPhones ever.. ok la.. i shall wait for sales later and see butt itchy or not.

Yes. Just wait for a bit longer like 10.10 or 11.11 or 12.12.

Sure the price will be significantly lower than now with vouchers 🤪

Was iPhone 16 this hot?

Initially I didn’t like the colors. But watching more videos Sage seems to grow on me.

Every year this will always be the dilemma.. either trade in with high value or wait till big vouchers but phone almost outdated by that time. If upgrade every year, there’s no difference which route to take, either faster or slower but overall cost is the same

Anyways , 16 pro max to 17 although tempting will still be downgrade overall. Actually iPhones camera without lidar got difference even if Apple doesn’t tell. Especially low light and moving subjects. Also overall photo size will be bigger based on experience upgrading sidegrading downgrading in never ending iPhone cycles

Just touch and saw the real phones today and I must say the only one that attracts me is the Air šŸ˜
But price and specs not ngam. If only Air have the ultra wide or priced like the 17. I cant accept paying more for less

The colors at the back also look a bit weird for me. Some colors like white looks like the white protective sticker for the front glass lol- really ugly. It’s the texture I think or lack of.

During launch is always like that. Demand will cool down and stocks will replenish. Thats where the discounts will come in. It happens every year.

Nope. The demand for the 17 seems better than the 16.

If you want to feel difference in your upgrade then wait for a few years before upgrading. If you upgrade every year you really cant tell the difference.
