As per tradition, Apple has moved quickly to refine its smartphone portfolio following today’s unveiling of the iPhone 17 lineup. The company has officially discontinued the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, as well as the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max.

2024 also saw a higher focus on user experience, with features like intelligent AI, fast charging and increasingly powerful gaming performance. In addition, premium design and high-quality materials continue to be the main attractions. In such a year, which devices stood out most? Here is our list of the 5 best flagship smartphones in 2024.

Whenever there is a new iOS upgrade, some iPhone models tend to have improved battery life. So what about iOS 18? Well, according to Geekerwan, this Chinese blogger did a battery test on all the iPhone 16 and the iPhone 15 Pro models, as well as other Android flagships. 

Apple launched the iPhone 16 series earlier this week and touted the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus as having an improved performance with the A18 SoC. However, a Geekbench listing for the vanilla models seems to dispute the 30% boost that Apple touted for the chip compared to the iPhone 15.

After the announcement of the new iPhone 16 series, Apple removed some of the older iPhone models. On Apple Malaysia's website, the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max and the iPhone 13 have been removed. As per tradition, the prices of other models have dropped as well.

After seeing the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, we might have a clearer view of the iPhone 16 Pro. A new picture uploaded by Sonny Dickson shows the iPhone 16 Pro in three colours including the new darker color Space Black which is much darker than this year's iPhone 15 Pro. So, what should you know about it?

By now, Apple fans should have heard about the upcoming Apple Intelligence features that will appear on iOS 18. However, not all the AI features will be available at launch and perhaps worst of all - only the iPhone 15 Pro series will get a piece of the pie.

In the past, Apple has been vague about how long it would support iPhones with security and software updates. However, due to a unique law and regulation in the UK, Apple is now making a clear commitment. That said, what should you know about it?

As advertised, Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Mirage has made its way to the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max and M1 iPads (and above). For a limited time, there is a 50% discount offer for the game until 20 June 2024. It's currently priced at RM99.90, so at 50%, that's only RM49.95.

With iPhones, Apple makes you pay a hefty premium for more storage. For instance, the base 128GB iPhone 15 Pro costs RM5499 in Malaysia, but the 512GB variant retails at a whopping RM6999. That's an increase of more than 20%! But what if you could get an upgrade for less?
