if camera/video taking is not a key things that u do on daily basis, going to iPhone Air (it is not called 17 Air    funny thing).

i will be changing to 17 air also. current 14 pro max only has 73% battery capacity left, but the battery life is significantly poor beyond the no.

battery replacement is rm449. not worth it. might as well save the money + trade in the 14 pro max 512gb for a new iphone. 
yes, i am waiting for deal at online platform like shopee or lazada.
not going to be water fish this round to be the first batch buyer.    no hurry to change.
