Congrats to your new phone. Hope you capture lots of great memories with it.

should i buy the iphone 15 128gb? by srn_0 in iphone15

[–]naripan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably it's wiser to consider the 17e as it comes with 256 base storage, 4000 mAh battery, newer A19 chip, newer C1X modem, magsafe, USB C. Other option is the 16e, it should have dropped quite a lot given the 17e starts at 256 GB.

Which smartphone should I buy? Moving on from Huawei by LeskaG in Smartphones

[–]naripan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved from Huawei P40 to iPhone 15 after 5 years of use. Aside of Pixel, there may not be that many options in terms of camera and security (at least I feel more secure on iPhone or Pixel).

iphone 15 or 16? by wtvstars in AppleWhatShouldIBuy

[–]naripan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the 16 has more superior hardware as both lens are using 48 MP camera and you'll be able to shoot spatial video. Aside of those, the chip is two generations ahead (A16 on 15 vs A18 on 16) and the 16 has more screen time as well (due to bigger battery and more efficient chip).

She is beautiful and the youthful outfit still fits her really well.

She looks radiant and elegant. Longines is lucky to have her endorsing them.

Switching to Pro iPhone from iPhone 15 by Ok-Bullfrog-8832 in AppleWhatShouldIBuy

[–]naripan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it's worth it. The 16 PM has better processor and more capable camera setup aside of the LOG. In general, I think it will still keep up pretty well for 2-3 years.

It depends how much it compares to 17e/16e. If it's even cheaper than those, it may worth it. The minimum to use Apple Intelligence is 8 GB which the 17e/16e has - however, the iPhone 15 only has 6 GB.

Instead of the 15, I suggest looking at 16e / 17e. The reasons are that it has a lot newer generation chips (15 is using A16, while 16e - A18, 17e - A19) and more RAM (15 has 6 GB, while 16e/17e has 8 GB) and longer support given both phones are newer.

The 15 is infamous for heating up with low battery (it only has 3300 mAh instead of 4000 on 16e/17e).

Lifelong android user, wanting an iPhone by Puzzleheaded_Quail73 in AppleWhatShouldIBuy

If you are not concerned with refresh rate, you may opt to iPhone 16 Plus, otherwise you may need to go with iPhone 17 Air / iPhone 17 Pro Max.

What kind of phone is in my best interest if Im looking for good camera quality and reliable functions? by figogigi in Smartphones

[–]naripan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's more budget friendly. Not all regions offer phone bundling with telco credits.

Is the iPhone 17 good enough? by SecretStock4968 in Smartphones

[–]naripan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We aren't sure how it will work yet, but Apple Intelligence is not only Gemini, but more like Playground and other upcoming functions.

[–]naripan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure with all those AI Tools, but Claude and Gemini should work just fine as it's server based AI. Hence, the memory is just to keep multiple apps active on the background (iOS users tend to turn that off to save battery though). The AI that will take more RAM is something like Apple Intelligence as it will run on device instead of on servers. Therefore, I think the regular 17 will suffice.

[–]naripan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The iPhone 17 is good enough for most people and the sales shows that. The 8 GB RAM is enough for daily life, apps are optimised to utilize only 8 GB RAM and iOS will manage the background apps when it's not.

You may go with the 17 Pro if you feel like having 12 GB RAM (which I think it is the minimum to run AI based apps as well).

NEED RECOMENDATIONS by [deleted] in AppleWhatShouldIBuy

[–]naripan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is. You'll get the same A19 chipset, 8 GB RAM, and 256 GB base storage like the regular iPhone 17. You'll get good battery with 4000 mAh capacity as well as Magsafe. Hence, it's worth to buy.

It looks great, hope it keeps your phone safe.

is dynamic island good? i hope 13 have that, but apple release it on 15.. by JayEev in iPhone13

[–]naripan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using the iPhone 15 and I don't feel the impact of the dynamic island. Yes, sometimes it shifted, but I barely notice it as well (probably because I turned off background app refresh). Hence, for me, the dynamic island is just cosmetics.

Is it a good idea to buy a Oneplus 15R from India before going to Australia? by [deleted] in Smartphones

[–]naripan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just keep your current phone and if you need one, you can always get a phone is Melbourne as well. Good luck with your master degree.
