I’m actually considering getting iPhone for my next phone… thanks to Company Intune Portal starting to flag my Pixel 7 Pro as a rooted device every now and then, and preventing me from logging into company’s email and Teams on my mobile. I have no idea why it was doing so… my phone wasn’t rooted! Yes I did sideload some apps, but that’s the whole point of using an Android phone isn’t it… :(
In order to prep myself mentally for the cost of getting an iPhone (together with all the accessories), I did some homework on Amazon and found that buying an iPhone is just a huge investment…
- iPhone 16 – Price TBA
- Magsafe portable power bank (at least 10,000mAh) – S$70
- Airpods Pro (2nd gen) – S$370
- Apple Watch Series 9 (optional… but I’ve seen reviews saying Garmin app sucks on iPhone) – S$605
- Portable magsafe charging pad (for travelling) – S$231
All these added up to be almost S$2K, and that’s not including the price of the iPhone yet. Ugh… I’m not sure if I’m willing to fork out S$4K for a new phone (and it’s accessories). The charging pad probably can be optional too, since I have my Anker and UGreen wall chargers (I just need to bring lotsa cables, meh).
I can look past the home screen being non-customizable, but I’m not sure if I can accept the slow charging of Apple products, now that I’m already so used to Android’s fast-charging capabilities.
Ugh, I hate making decisions…
