I have iPad Pro with 120hz display...to be honest, It is really nice to see when surfing Safari but I don't actually miss it when I used my iPhone. So, this is not a deal breaker for me...Maybe it is just me. But I do agree with this price point, they should have included the ProMotion.

But then, still Lightning when their Macbook and iPad Pro are all USB C?? come on Apple....

However, when I think about it. With MagSafe, they might remove the charging port entire in their future phone (maybe iPhone 13) when everyone is accustomed to this new way of charging. U know, u can now finally "wireless" charge you phone while still holding it with your hand and use the phone. So, that's' why they don't even bother wasting time, money and resources in updating the port to USB-C  doh.gif

no doubts 120Mhz is a plus and should have move to usb-c, these two seems everyone are hoping to be at least in the 12 lineup

and next year Apple remove port, then remove cable... further cut down carbon emission... doh.gif

What about if you lost your phone, or the phone is being repaired. Are you able to quickly provision a physical SIM quickly at the kiosk?

If the phone is wiped or reset, do I need to go to the carrier and provision an eSIM again?

Appreciate your clarification.
5G mmWave is only supported on US models.

esim doubts...

when you wipe/reset iPhone, it will ask you whether want to remove esim profile
i tried remove esim profile when reset, after that I use back the same qr code is okay, but what I did not test is when changing phone

been using Xs with maxis esim and til 11 pro, Maxis told me cannot reuse when I got my 11 pro at maxis center, so i use the new qr code maxis provided for new 11 pro last year

I do believe qr code can reuse, but i unsure whether is carrier lock it or not
I have few travel esim profile which i attached to my iPhone Xs, when I got my 11 pro, only maxis esim I scan the new one, the other two travel esim profile I use my 11 pro rescan no issue, and can be use oversea last year.

So, esim still have some doubts like, when phone spoilt, send for warranty etc.... how to use it on spare phone, in the case even your spare phone have to support esim sweat.gif
best is local sim card using physical sim... smile.gif unless you have secondary line, secondary line go for esim

Thanks for the info. This clear up all my concerns on eSIM.

I will prefer to use eSIM as the main SIM as it's easier to get a physical travel SIM when travelling overseas.

Now I need to find out is it possible to get a physical SIM from the Maxis ATM kiosk in the rare situation where I need one once I switched to eSIM.
*
the only telco i know can immediately generate qr code for new/replacement is yoodo sweat.gif perhaps xox can also...
other telco should have follow.... else current covid situation, we dont know any time CMCO... MCO... comes
else it will be troublesome getting a replacement esim qr code when something goes wrong

actually travel sim nowadays a lot go E, the esim package seems reasonable, even for the local country plan, you may look at here to find one if needed https://esimdb.com/
just that some travel esim profile need to pay (like USD2) a fees to get the esim qr code without any plan

So, it's possible to purchase the eSIM and just use it once landed? Definitely a huge plus to eSIM for the convenience.

I am still doing the old school way by going to the airport kiosk upon landing.

Are you able to have dual eSIM standby on your current iPhone?
*
ya, can purchase travel esim... usually those esim for traveling just esim profile that you scan qr code, no data plan or anything
you can purchase plan on top of that esim profile for example like few days before going

the cons is, usually travel esim profile dont have number attach, for example, like i travel to China, i want to purchase local sim with number, can make calls as well...
if you are only in need for data, is okay

esim can have few profile, so far I have maxis esim, two travel esim profile and one celcom physical sim in my 11 pro biggrin.gif
max how many profile, unsure, and we can have 1 esim and 1 physical sim active at one time (data have to choose which sim to use)

The telco always told me dun wipe /factory reset the phone if use eSIM.

If yes, then need to request and charge RM10 for QR code to install the profile?
*
so far i restore and wipe twice already during one year iphone 11 pro usage, once during mco... i still manage to scan using the esim qr code provided last sept from maxis

but since telco said dont wipe... try at our own risk haha

but i am very sure other esim profile can reuse like two of my travel esim profile transfer from Xs

From your input iPhone 12Pro is RM200 more over 11Pro but if you cost in the charging brick and earphones, total value of these 2 is about RM200, it means this year, for the Pro variant, it is about RM400 more expensive, comparing apple to apple(excuse the pun). Correct me if I am wrong.
*
12pro 256GB is RM5399 this year sweat.gif if factor in charger and earbud, the RM200 cheaper vs 11pro RM5599 last year is similar price
for those who needs it, just too bad, with the extra RM200 less, might be using to buy charger and earbud.... for those who dont use it like me, is a little saving for me laugh.gif

esim to be used for local main line is good. but some stoopig telco like sinktel and starfxxk they do not even support that.  sad.gif  even lose to telcos in bolehland.
for that kind of situation, two physical sim card slots really make the things seamless. one probably do not even to change sim card until the next phone upgrade, so two physical sim card slots are really fool proof solutions.

esim the concept is cool but switching sim card is actually more hassle than two physical sim card slots.

i am going for 512gb iphone 12 pro max. but i do wish that they have 1TB variant. haha.
i am using iphone x as main phone and iphone 6 plus as secondary phone. iphone 12 pro max will be a significant  upgrade to me.

sweat.gif something lion city lag behind, been using Maxis esim since Feb 2019 laugh.gif so far bolehland telco without esim difficult to find...

But the graphic posted by the other forummer depicted the 256gb iPhone 12Pro’s price as RM5799. Hence, my observation. Not sure of the pricings. That’s why I asked to be corrected if I am wrong.

So, which is correct please?
*
unless Apple Malaysia made a mistake... which is unlikely
pro 256GB is RM5399, and the pro max 256GB is RM5799 smile.gif
