iPhone 12 Pro Max review embargo will only be lifted on 11th November.
Super curious about the battery performance and the camera as I'm still undecided. Wanted the better battery but I really like the size of the Pro. This post has been edited by blacktubi: Nov 5 2020, 04:46 PM |

Just came back from Celcom Sunway Pyramid (the big one outside)
Due to CMCO, they closed at 8PM tonight. Not sure if this is applied to all branch. Pre-order start at 10AM tomorrow. No info about free gift. Online pre-order can only be delivered, can't be picked up on store. |

QUOTE(Pat89 @ Nov 6 2020, 05:03 PM) Yes, most store close at 8pm....some 6pm... Maxis is the worst.Online order will be delivered via courier...cannot choose store pick up.   The guy insisted that the pre-order only begin on November 13th.  I was in a hurry so I left without checking with another staff. |

Surprisingly, Celcom online shop is the fastest this round.

QUOTE(isr25 @ Nov 6 2020, 10:46 PM) Last time I bought the iPhone X thru Celcom, they were using GDEX. Not sure now though Do you get the phone on release date or few days after the official release date?I know Maxis will send their phone earlier and only allow the courier to ship it to customer on the date. |

QUOTE(isr25 @ Nov 6 2020, 10:50 PM) Don’t remember... if i’m not mistaken it was delivered the day after official launch. I am in JB though. Not sure if that makes any difference. Cool, good to know that. Next-day delivery isn't that bad. Thanks! |

QUOTE(moniqee @ Nov 7 2020, 09:04 PM) Reason to buy the apple leather case instead of the apple silicon case One thing I don't like about the leather case is the color will darken as it age. Using 70% alcohol to sanitize the case will damage the leather as well. Not ideal in this pandemic. |

QUOTE(Pat89 @ Nov 8 2020, 11:56 AM) Congratulation man!   Coming soon huh...seems like you will get it earlier then Mine will be dash4me - mean on the day delivery 13th...no tracking number yet or email from them QUOTE(Carlo J @ Nov 8 2020, 11:57 AM) Let us know when you get it haha. I’m pretty sure they won’t let me to self collect earlier.Apple set a strict embargo on the product release date. There’s a pretty hefty fine to the telco if Apple found out users activated the device prior to that date. |

QUOTE(fruitie @ Nov 8 2020, 01:15 PM) Digi changed mine within an hour after I placed order. Yea, quite surprised that Celcom is so fast this round. Asked CS, he said it needs to be done else cannot secure the unit as iPhones can only be bought with those plans. Yes, they will not deliver until 13th. Telcos won't want to be sued by Apple for early activation/delivery. Normally everything related to billing is really slow on Celcom. Now I wish I can self collect at the GDEX branch early in the morning on release day as I am pretty familiar with the branch. This post has been edited by blacktubi: Nov 8 2020, 01:37 PM |

QUOTE(mycolumn @ Nov 8 2020, 06:14 PM) Im planning to switch from android to iphone. Get the Pro. Does the ram size matter? Iphone 12 4gb; iPhone 12 pro 6gb. I guess to future proof my phone, rather take iphone 12 pro right? Does ios takes lots of ram? Won't want to go for 12 pro max because the size is too big. 6.1 inch is good for me. Thx in advance for ur advise 🙂  Having an extra 2GB RAM means apps are less likely to be killed which will result in faster app re-opening time. While having LIDAR and the extra camera depends on your usage, the Pro range is prettier and tougher with the stainless steel frame. |

The embargo is lifted Edit: It seems that the difference in main camera performance is insignificant. I am glad that I opted for the smaller iPhone 12 Pro with a more comfortable size.  This post has been edited by blacktubi: Nov 9 2020, 10:05 PM |

QUOTE(chiahau @ Nov 9 2020, 10:28 PM) Still waiting for people to complaint about thermal throttling of the 12 pro max in the comment sections According to testing by China media, A14 is warmer than A13.The iPhone XS is notorious for dimming the OLED screen when it's overheating.  Let's hope it doesn't happen on the 12. |

QUOTE(chiahau @ Nov 9 2020, 11:13 PM) Yeah but I honestly don't game on my phone. I don't game as well.I think the only chance for it to throttle is when I use waze or stuck in a long call This is nice. But the price point a bit ouch. For me, Waze + being plugged in at the same time is the worst. Perhaps I should use a slow charger in my car instead.  Google Maps seems to be less resource intensive. |
