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.

Hi, just purchased a 17 via Shopee with trade-in. Reading the trade in steps, it seems that the service doesnt allow on the spot data transfer. Wondering anyone else has any experience on this?
Seems like I have to back up my 13 first. My concerns would be :-

1. Backing up icloud/itunes - would it actually backs up all the data (photos especially), ive read that itunes works and apple do provide an unlimited icloud for the new phone transfer with a grace period of 21 days, just wondering about the data backs up reliability
2. My banking apps - seems like I just have to deregister and restart the whole process which includes some cooling off period
3. E-sim - using celcomdigi - i guess have to go to their cube to request an esim
I would deeply appreciate any tips on this in anticipation on the 17 arrival, thank you

apparently the 'Apple Flagship Store' on shopee allows for trade-in when purchasing iphones via shopee

not sure how it works tho

Interesting… that has always been the advantage of retail. Normally pricing is more expensive if trading in retail store

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 🤪

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 either trade in with high value or wait till big vouchers but phone almost outdated by that time.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
