Losing money preposition for the user. But I know a lot won't mind taking this option just for a new phone.

I'm curious as to why they think people would risk buying from them just to save 50 or a 100 bucks. Buy from retail can use credit card, pay in installments and get the satisfaction of a procuring a brand new sealed box
And the bigger battery too

I noticed the general trend that guys using iPhone tend to go for the standard size iPhone (iPhone XS, 11 Pro and now 12 or 12 Pro) whilst many iPhone XS Max, 11 Pro Max and now 12 Pro Max users are girls.

One expects more guys to use the larger iPhone since most guys have larger hands compared to girls, similar to how most professional piano players are guys but the trend for mobile phone is reversed.

Since I spend a lot of my time on my iPhone, ideally I would prefer the iPhone with larger display - iPhone 12 Pro Max. However, as many had pointed out, the phone is simply too big and it won’t fit in our pocket, especially when you’re wearing a slim fit jeans. And this is a big problem because most guys don’t bring a bag with them all the time. So despite many guys may not struggle to operate iPhone 12 Pro Max using a single hand, many will still end up going for the iPhone 12 or 12 Pro.

Battery life is very bad for gamers. Even IPhone SE can last 2 hours longer than IPhone 20 Pro

Anyone had experience bought from sengheng or sengq? Wondering how to get 2 years warranty during this Friday PO online?

Thinking of PO the iPhone 12 Pro Max but came across below article.

Quite concerned on this since I do game a little bit. Do you all think Apple will be able to fix this with a software update?

Will be going back to iPhone after many years so hope the experience is good.   

So ip12 is about equivalent to 8p?
then i think most people are fine with it. especially those upgrading from lower model.

Super sad when i see lazada advertisement on this... but only 12 pro

iPhone 12 Pro Vs Mi 10T Pro Vs Vs Poco F2 Pro Vs Mi 10 Ultra thermal throttling 20-minute test using now 3DMark Wildlife as many wanted to see this more "FAIR" test according to some.

The end result is the same as the first two videos.

The final result is some demanding games on my iPhone 12 Pro really lag and stutter at times which is completely unacceptable due to its price.


For people who don’t like the results, you’ll never be able to do a “FAIR” test. They’ll always cry foul.
It's a shame nobody is asking about this obvious flaw


It shouldn't throttle anywhere near as this much or get this hot.
The heat will also degrade the battery much quicker and maybe some other components

Whilst I'm from 7 to 12...massive upgrade bruhhh 

I've used multiple iPhone and Android phones over the years. I don't have any brand loyalty and will buy/use a phone based on the tech available or what is needed at the moment of time. I typically change phone every 6 months to test out "new" features. It was much worse previously, where i buy every flagship device from brands like Apple, Samsung, Oneplus, HTC. Definitely not sustainable but it feeds the addiction of having the latest and greatest toy every couple of months. Hint on my age, I've used an O2 XDA before

My view is that there are no such thing as a perfect phone/device. There will always be drawbacks when you switch devices, even when you are switching from one Android to another (most painful when you switch from different between Android/iOS and wanting to maintain your WhatsApp conversation).

So why am I buying the iPhone 12 this time around? Given that the upgrade cycle is every 12 months and I wont be able to feed that addiction of mine on switching phones? 1 word comes to mind, Longevity.

This is important to me now because due to new work arrangements, I'm fortunate enough to have my choice of phone subsidised by my company. The upgrade cycle allowed by my company is every 2 years so to me the natural choice will be an iPhone for 2 reasons. 1)Resell value after 2 years 2) Almost guaranteed performance on any app for 2 years, although i believe this will be the same for any SD865 proc Android phones.

Yes, the battery is weaker compared to my current OnePlsu 8 Pro and perhaps it throttles when i game on it but considering that i need to keep the same phone for 2 years  i feel that an iPhone is my best bet.

Thoughts?
