I supposed those has the money has the means to get it immediately and the largest specs to scratch the itch. Many don’t mind waiting and get it eventually one month later.

I try to avoid /k like the plague, hahaha..

Anyways, a lot of pro Samsung and Android  fans are calling the 12 "sub par", "half baked", "overpriced", etc. I wonder if they've seen the prices of Android flagship phones lately, haha... Being a user of both Android and iPhones I acknowledge that there is no perfect phone out there, just the right phone for someone based on his preference and budget. I don't want to get into it with them, but some of the bias and remarks reflect badly on them and it's a waste of time and energy to be drawn into those kinda debates.

btw what or who is /k?

it’s like another thread of the forum? Been in and out of few iphone threads, it’s funny some people are different and some of us are in all the treads! How do you cope with so many chats?

another night, another day closer to PO!

Anyone watched this simple test of battery? The most straight forward so far as i’m concerned about the battery as i need it to last whole day.
Summary - for browsing and youtube video is comparable to iphone 11, (in fact ip11pro is weak which i’m really considering if i can’t afford ip12) but the most obvious is ip12 is VERY bad for gaming usage in the test! Just 3 hours compared to ip11 of 6! 11 Can’t be right? With the most advanced A14 chip?

Which got me thinking, could ip12 / 12 pro be incomplete and has very limited real world testing and launched to meet deadlines? That with a non-negotiable deadlines, just confirm overall 90% but got 100% hardware done and ship them out first? That it’s not fully fine tuned yet.
Anyone who’s a project manager/ construction/ engineering would understand - reverse engineer the process ie build the roof first and then later sort out the internals as long as the major building structure is out first because shortage or disruption to materials like what happened because of pandemic.

This is also from the other youtube about display sets having the ip12pro side band scratched badly just sitting on display. And the weird charging mechanism happening that matches only some and not common ones. Every expert working to make sure their own system works but all of them havent come together to sort out the kinks. Like something is not fully right with the materials.

And then it got me thinking (sorry one of those late night, too much thinking) that Apple might not be the same without Jobs anymore. In the past, it would aim for revolutionary products BUT might not be complete, now Apple would fine to refine existing products to be more widely used but not chasing for revolutionary. I would imagine Jobs daring not to launch ip12 until he’s happy 😃

haha didn’t expect an impromptu and impulsive sharing made me sounded like dissing Apple.
Perhaps I was a little nostalgic going through w Apple revolutionizing pc, laptops, music(!), connectivity (phone) and now photography,
might have be a bit gullible to the attention catching news of the recent ip12. And maybe the latest gadgets doesn’t suit my lifestyle as in airpods, watches or airpay. I do enjoy very much how Apple made digital writing via ipad a reality though.

Thought it might be safe to just rant abit among fellow fans rather than the kopitiam side haha
Anyways that’s how forum works, everyone can speak up.

"sitting on display"

surely you jest? you do know how many people touch the display set iphones in apple stores especially for new iphones?  doh.gif

plenty of display units have tonnes of scratches for older models last time but now its a hoohah cause someone posted it for new phones. this kind of news are just baiting you into something that would obviously happen. should see my caseless ip6 back then, the amount of scratches on it would make them cry then. people expect too mcuh thinking they have some scratchproof design, nothing is unscratchable in this world.

yup, you are right. But i do rmb one of the iphone 6? 7? the sides are more easily scratched due to the coating. No big deal.


QUOTE(andrewtho @ Nov 4 2020, 11:59 AM)
I think you’re just justifying for yourself.

Alot of things that Apple does, is not picked up by the public because they chose to close a blind eye and condemn for the sake of condemning - just for the sake of FOMO. I am not biased towards any brands, but I always believe in a brand’s philosophy and if the brand works and looks good, I’m good with it.

When you mentioned ‘revolutionary’, tell me.. what other brands are ‘revolutionizing’ the mobile phone space at this juncture? As we’ve mentioned in the past few pages - the mobile phone industry is already at the pinnacle of technology, now it’s just the renovation and updating phase. It’s a life cycle. Also, if you’ve watched Jerryrigseveryting’s latest iPhone 12 video - you will notice alot of components has been remodified, restructured, and redesigned to the extend even Jerry himself is impressed. These are the small things that brands do that most people will bat an eye on.

To answer your question - display units are abused to the core, don’t compare personal and display units. Unless you are going to treat your phone the same way as people treat display units. Apple is not a perfect company by any means, but when it comes to industrial design and vision - they are simply up there. Why do people diss Apple eventhough they are not a user? Top of Mind. It’s a brand that has already instilled in the mind of many - this is what they always wanted.

yup, you are right but not so much about justifying for myself. Just thought it could be a possibility due to huge expectations nearly the whole world on launching the latest product. Hopefully i’m wrong on the fine tuning but it’s not a huge matter just wanting to add in the many conspiracy theories here, but at this moment I still “defend” Apple among my social circles
that Apple still provide the best value for tech as it outlasts generally almost Windows (laptop) or Android phones as materials, quality and software is well designed
and not just chasing after treads or specs alone. Design does mean something to Apple imho, similar to your point about philosophy. I’m sure all the constant software updates will sort things out.

Yeah I think I responded to your “tell me” above, my mind wasn’t on phone alone, but I do agree on the pinnacle of tech especially phones, anything else will be like calling using fingers only ha!


But overall hope my random sharing didn’t cause any dissatisfaction! Sorry for the long replies. Not dissing Apple - konpirm! thumbsup.gif Perhaps the tipping point was shocking on the more than 50% battery for the gaming part though I still can’t understand how people play games on phones hmm.gif too small screen. Shall learn to be more steady like many forumers here.

After not being able to order online Maxis just called my wife (at 12.30am, no joke) and asked us to set an appointment to collect the phone at the outlet chosen in the ROI form, which we did. So I’ll get the Pro Max after all, albeit a day later coz we chose to get it on the 14th instead smile.gif

Happy days in the end! 😆
Now, have u got your casing ready? Haha

FLOLAB? i think there's a 20% discount trick in the earlier discussion
which case you want? spigen? you can try sakurazz? the fella got spigen and ringke and other brands as well... https://shopee.com.my/shop/21523342/search?...ection=44628406

3rd party charge brick... i dunno what to comment.. so i leave it to other sifu here...
*
Just worried the FLOLAB shipping costs more than the single piece SP. Don't want to end up just get to see but can't use my new phone hehe

Thanks for recommending sakurazz. Seems there's stock of the Thin Slim model but best to get thicker of the new Liquid Air. Really missed the flat sides when I was using sipgen for Z10.

Actually now that I'm really looking for a case, surprised at the very high markups at Machines and Apple for cases.

Hmm.. Apple recommended users to use back existing iPhone/iPad chargers due to the environmental concerns. In order to uphold the Cause, I wouldn’t buy any charger adapter until existing one spoils..
Nonetheless, a new casing is a must. Plan to walk in store to get the Apple leather casing.

Luckily you are not a first time user of iPhone or USB C devices.

PSA:
Decided to go back to one of my old school fav phone case Spigen Liquid Air model and for faster delivery to meet my collection date biggrin.gif
Got a pleasant surprise with additional savings of rm12+ on the spot without the need to wait for 11.11 on the very nice price of RM55.
