News & Reviews:   iPhone 16 Malaysia pre-order

With the debut of the new iPhone 17 lineup in Malaysia, the official Apple Malaysia website has quietly reduced prices on its previous models. The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus now come with a RM500 discount, making them more accessible than ever. Meanwhile, Apple has discontinued the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max from its official Malaysian stores, leaving only the more affordable variants in circulation.

As previously reported, Indonesia wants to ban Apple from selling the iPhone 16 series and it's now in effect. According to Bloomberg, Apple did not meet its local investments by around $15 million. With that, even the Apple Watch Series 10 and other newer Apple devices were banned as well.

It's been only a week since Barclays claimed Apple had cut iPhone 16 series productions. There could be some truth in that, but we have another update from Ming-Chi Kuo, a reputable Apple analyst giving us some iPhone 16 series shipment updates.

When the iPhone 16 series launched, it came with the tiny caveat of missing out on Apple Intelligence features. Apple Intelligence was heavily marketed and Apple promises that it is on the way. But when? Well, according to Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, it could be released by the end of October.

The iPhone 16 series has been launched for almost two weeks now but Barclays analysts claimed that it may not been selling more than expected. According to a new investor note, Apple "may have just cut" three million iPhone 16 production units.

Previously, we have confirmed the RAM figures on the iPhone 16 series. Although it's obvious that Apple improved the battery life, the exact figures were not disclosed, as we only know about how long they last. Well, thanks to Anatel, a regulator from Brazil, we have the details.

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. 

The iPhone 16 series pre-order began last Friday and according to an analyst, Ming Chi-Kuo, interest shown in the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max have decreased and possibly for the first time, more buyers are interested in the iPhone 16 Plus. Here's a breakdown of what's happening. 

At the Apple Event, Apple usually doesn't disclose what are the charging speeds for the new iPhones and we usually have to find it out by ourselves. Today, ShrimpApplePro discovered a new certification in China showing the official charging speeds.

Every year, Apple announces a new iPhone but never discloses the RAM and battery figure. Well, as speculated before, the company did indeed increase the memory power and battery pack for all iPhone 16 models.
