But make sure you dont lose your phone la..

price immediately dropped 25% to 30% at least. could be even more at close to 40%. haha.

use simple passcode is better than no lock rite?

i am using 6 digits passcode to overcome this.

Thank you. Do your homework before changing platform from android to apple. Already sold my IP11 Pro & Note 9. Now using Vivo X50 as my main phone. Very snappy phone & I really like it. Touch ID & Face ID very fast even in the dark.

Yeah true. It's very intuitive. I had some issues with the in-display FP reader of the Pogo, which also drove me to let it go earlier than I anticipated.

I would argue the 11 Pro Max will be a very good buy once the price drops 30%

actually that's the current price drop percentage for one gen older iphone.

https://switch.com.my/iphone-xs-max/

u see the current xs max is rm3099 now for 64GB.

a iPhone 11 Pro max 64GB is RM5,299.

that's 41.52% cheaper.

so you are suggesting that the iphone 11 max will drop to rm 3k when 12 is release? better to buy new than to buy 2nd hand in that case.

normally drops 20% to 25%++ and slowly drops until 40%++ after iphone 12 is released.

Tak kisah lul. Latest is the greatest

thanks a lot for that info.
planning to try iphone.
better to pull the trigger on an older yet capable model with lower price to test first instead of buying the newest one.

of course the latest will be the best. i am planning to get the iphone 12 pro max 512gb or 1tb also. upgrading from iphone x 256gb.
i am signning up with contract so i am ok to get the best model with largest storage size.

even machines has officially cut 10% price of the iphone 11 pro/11 pro max even before iPhone 12 is released.

for those who are buying new iphones for their family members such as elderly or even kids, actually no point to buy the latest flagship models at the full price as they are unlikely to fully utilise the full technologies that come with it. it makes more sense to buy a older models as older models after years will be old enough to be cheaper. even it is spoiled by them, it will be less heartpain.

this is the reason why i bought the refurbished iphone x 64GB for my dad although it is going to be 3 years old phone but it is still very capable given its processing power. the recent years of iphones are all overpowered if you compare to the flagship android phones. so even buying old iphones, they are still very capable for today use.

That's true. Well can use both facial unlock and pin code simultaneously.

It will depend on how much the IPhone 12 will be priced..

Buy the iphone12 pro max for pre order and then sell it when u don't like it after a few weeks. You won't lose any money when you do that.

yup, i am using them simultaneously, I only change the passcode from previous 8 characters password which mixes numbers and alphabets as well as special characters. now left with 6 digits PIN.

only when wearing masks time need to enter the PIN.

yikes !!! ahahaha. will think about it.

if only iphone had a simple fingerprint scanner. the SE users seems to be happy about it.

Bro... try facial recognition with mask on. Anybody tried that before?

tried before already. even follow the tricks online people have taught.

it did not work and i gave up after many many times of tries.

now the current temporarily solution with 6 digits PIN is what works best for me while with mask on.

You are in a wrong thread my dear. Of course everyone will tell you how well iPhone performs here since it’s an iPhone thread.

Since you are coming from Note 9 and has never used iOS before, I can tell you there will be some major changes when switching to iOS, but you can easily get used to them later on. Unless you have a lot of extra money to spare, and don’t mind some losses, you can always buy one and try, whether a new one or used one, or older models and then see if you like the operating system or not.

But if you don’t use a lot of the functionalities of the Android that haven’t yet been introduced in iOS, switching to iOS will almost feel like the same anyways. At the end of the day, it’s still the same old smartphone with the few similar features.

When I made the switch, I knew what I was signing up for. And besides I jumped from iOS to Android back and forth all the time, and decided that it’s time for iOS after 5 years of Android. I was still shock at certain things because I would expect at this time, some really handy features would have been implemented. Also, everything still feels like the same from 5 years ago when I last used iOS. XD

Haha... that's because the camera takes the contours and outline of your face into account. With the mask on, it won't be able to capture anything.
