I wish the GSMArena team could include a feature where we can upload pics in the comments, but I'll leave the link for both the iPhone Malaysia* and Xperia Malaysia** websites for you to check out. Just to reiterate the prices from my first comment, since someone here had a hard time understanding it (🙃):

- iPhone 15 Pro Max 256GB: MYR 6,499 (~ $1,399)
- Sony Xperia 1 Mk5 256GB: MYR 6,399 (~ $1,369)
- iPhone 15 Pro 128GB: MYR 5,499 (~ $1,179)
- iPhone 15 Pro 256GB: MYR 5,999 (~ $1,289)
- Sony Xperia 5 Mk4 256GB (since we don't have a 128GB version here): MYR 4,899 (~ $1,049)

    About the Android migration, and I'm going to speak from the perspective of my circle, most of my friends migrate because of the camera or other hardware features like stylus support. In the case of my 14-year-old youngest sister, she ditched iOS for Android because of apps. I asked her whether she wanted to return to the iPhone, but she said "no" and never missed it. She's now more comfortable with Android.

      Why should anyone care about that?

        Nice new innovation, worth of paying 1000 - 2500 USD.i
        But my less than 200 USD mobile have USB-C which i purchased anew in year 2020.

          > "It all starts with the 48MP main camera, which has a bigger sensor with 1.22µm pre-binned pixels and second-generation sensor-shift stabilization."

          What do you mean "bigger"? 14 Pros had the same size main camera.

                  Felix Argyle, 13 Sep 2023You mentioned Xperia 5 first, then Xperia 1 "Interestingly, the 15 Pro Max 256GB doesn't cost $1,199. It actually cost $1,399 (MYR 6,499), which is almost the same price as the Sony Xperia 1 Mk5 256GB here (MYR 6,399)."

                  Ummm... which part did the OP talked about the Xperia 5 first? The OP really did talked about the Xperia 1 first of all, then followed by the Xperia 5.

                  His conclusion is rather interesting though since there aren't that many iOS user who would bravely migrate to Android. Usually, it's always the other way around.

                            Ivo., 13 Sep 2023No 10x zoom - dead on arrival!Just in case, there is what you hope, would you buy iPhone? Or do you not complaint about the hiking price?

                              Ivo., 13 Sep 2023No 10x zoom - dead on arrival!When the Periscope is 48MP it automatically means that is has 12MP at 10Times.

                              Meaning higher res than Samsungs.


                              If the iPhones periscope happens to be 1/2, then the Samsung wouldn't even have a huge sensor size advantage being just slightly larger than the crop of an 1/2.
