Two meanings :

1. Locked to the service provider you got the phone from. But here in Malaysia, the law does not permit telcos to lock the phones they sell.
2. Phones purchased with a plan through telcos when instalment payments are not made, the telcos will lock the phones rendering them unserviceable.

So, which is it that you are meaning to ask?

I wonder what do they earn? The stocks are most probably from SG.

Malaysia already has the one of the lowest RRP among all countries, and yet they are selling below Malaysia RRP  blink.gif

Like mentioned, it's the work of "scalpers" trying to cash in on those who couldn't wait for the official MY sets to be here. Usually Apple Iphones only arrives at MY after their first tier launch in Singapore, giving scalpers about a month's time to feed on those without patience. But they didnt foresee slow sales of the Iphone worldwide prompting Apple to launch their phones at Tier 2 countries like MY a week after tier 1 launch. laugh.gif

FYI - You could get your Iphone on the same day of launch in SG during yesteryears, but of course at a premium price. nod.gif

I was considering Iphone 12 pro 256GB but now in dilemma to change to Iphone 12 pro max 128gb. I prefer smaller phone but like many has said, pro max is a better buy.

I hope the pro max camera with larger aperture and sensor size will be a lot better than pro.

If you want a smaller phone can also consider the 12 bro, very similar to the 12 Pro except for the different frame, the lack of telephoto lens and LiDAR scanner.

iPhone even with 4GB RAM is good enough. With 6 GB almost all apps remain open in the background, no need to reload. Tech YouTubers have tested this.

I'm currently using a 2GB powered iPhone 6S - still works OK for most apps that I'm using, so yeah, I'd agree that 4GB RAM is probably good enough for most users even for the next 3 years or so.

Same dilemma here. Was so sure on getting the pro only due to my complains with my 11 pro max being too big. Now that they make the pro max camera far more superior and also I knida worry the fact that the 12 pro couldn't last through the day doh.gif

i think if play games i would suggest go for pro max... the experience does feel nicer, of course, subject to your wallet capability also at the end of the day.

My only dilemma now is battery and the contradicting point for me is the size too big. bangwall.gif

For iPhone, 6GB is the highest RAM ever, and for iOS it is enough.

Good to hear that.

QUOTE(Area51SE @ Oct 31 2020, 12:57 PM)
Well iOS optimization for Apps is great. Seen reviews where iPhone with 3GB RAM can beat Androids with higher RAM. So i guess should be no issue  tongue.gif

*Just my opinion based on Youtube reviews*

Great.

QUOTE(Carlo J @ Oct 31 2020, 02:03 PM)
12GB RAM, are you using Note 20 Ultra?

OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition.

QUOTE(sramesh @ Oct 31 2020, 02:30 PM)
I think minimum upgrade eligibility is 24 months, else there’s a penalty fee for the phone. You may check their T&C at the website.
*
Nope. 18 months for tier 1 phones and iPhone is one of them. Can exchange for a new phone with new contract and need to return current phone.
After 24 months, current phone belongs to you as the contract has expired and need to re-contract again for a new phone.

So meaning you don't own any of the phone, you can keep changing and only got the phone after you terminate the contract with Digi? I always wanted to get a telco package, but then i didn't use half of 30Gb on internet, so end up downgrading my plan.
