TWO YEARS WITH IPHONE14 PROMAX

 


On 7th of January 2025, my iPhone14promax is two years old. I have dropped a few times on the floor and on the road. So far, it works fine and served me well in the last 24 months 24X7. Some of my friends change their mobile phones every one or two years but not me. Most of my previous smart phones last from three to five years. If you ask me,what phone I want to upgrade? My answer will be iPhone 16 ProMax. It is lighter and has better camera and Artificial Intelligence.

As of now, I am very happy to own iPhone14ProMax. It is a computer,telephone,radio,book etc. It covers all apsects of productivity, creativity and entertainment. A lady told me that she likes my photos and asked to recommend what camera to buy. I reply," Get a good smart phone and someone to guide you take take better photos". Go and shoot 10,000 photos and buy a compact camera/DSLR/Mirrorless.

Below , I am sharing  a few photos taken in 2024. For more info, read the notes at tghe end of this posting.

KB WALK

I planned to have four days of Photowalking around Kota Bharu #KBWalk ,but due to unplanned family errands which I love doing for my  mother and son,I only managed to have two days with only less than 4 hours.Herewith I shared two photos taken behind Pejabat PAS. To do justice to the town,I need at least 7 full days and nights to capture the history  and culture of the place.My first attempt had revealed a lot more for me to explore,discover and capture.Another missing dimension I need to have with me before I embark on KBWalk is the history of Kota Bharu. It has to be another time..May be after Eidil Fitri.
