overall i'm happy with apple return of small phone. definitely gonna purchase iphone 12 mini.

but fak apple seriously, no USB-C, no 120hz display (would have purchased pro if they ProMotion display), removal of charger/earpods. even battery they didn't even bother to elaborate like + how many hours etc, i expect the battery to be worst if not similar.

I mean at least 90hz should be there at 2020 at that price point.

Are you getting it from Apple's website? I'm eyeing a maxis contract so a longer wait is in the cards!

your maxis contract ends by when?

guess the rumours could be correct, the size of battery for iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max is smaller than 11 Pro and Pro Max by ~10%, expecting same hours of usage, so typical Apple wont mention anything same as previous gen

Mine ends 2021, hahaha. Using my wife's account, she has no active contract.

The 12 Pro Max will end up in her hands after I test it for a month so she's happy

For those with dual sim, is e-sim really useful?

Epal save for next year so they can sell more ma

Slowly release and next year those current Iphone 12 user will handover their money to buy Iphone 13 liao

Battery things actually just a reference, i dont think need to elaborate.
My iphone 11 can last me two days also eh, till battery drop till 30% on 2nd end day.

i dunno ler... i got one iphone6s to trade in...

It was very useful for me when I travelled overseas, e-sim with my Malaysia line and the physical sim slot to use with the local line (mostly for data).

Now that its CMCO/MCO and can't travel, no use hahahaha

those curious on pro/pro max battery for 11 vs 12
if rumours is correct, the batt size reduce by ~10% mAh

when not overseas anymore, do you switch back to physical sim for MY line? i heard esim can be quite unrealiable...

been using since Xs for eSim, never have issue when Maxis release during 2019 Feb, i directly go switch
so far my 11 pro have three eSim profile, maxis esim + 2 travel esim and one celom physical sim as secondary line

You're opposite from me haha. I used sim for local line and e-sim for overseas much more convenient.

gonna miss free earpods

Flagship Android phones prices getting higher because they make profit via the hardware with excuses like Qualcomm 5G modem expensive etc. Apple is now getting more revenue from Services, hence they no longer sell iphone at such high margin. Makes sense for Apple to get more people into their eco system so that they earn from Services revenue.

I thought I will get iphone and make the painful switch from Android to Apple. Apple software much more stable than Android and the support cycle much longer. But the 120Hz screen... I need faster refresh rate because I read a lot from phones... my eyes getting painful...

120Hz does help reading?

Can get esim for prepaid card when in foreign country?

I have one too but it'll only be worth RM300 or so... might as well keep it

i dont intend to keep it lar... since my dad is the one using 6s... so i will pass him my 7+ instead...
hence the trading in...

i can use RM300 for many things (case / power adapter and other accessories)

Just dig around sirim database and confirmed they have registered for the 12/12pro respectively. Expect the launch to be same like last year 11 seriess 1 week after US launch.

quoted from apple newsroom website
iPhone 12 Pro will be available in India, South Korea, and more than a dozen other countries beginning Friday, October 30.

if everything goes well, we shall expect it to launch on october 30th.

I'm going back to the smaller pro size this round, pro max simply too big to carry around

Screen protection wise will still get imos sapphire glass, always best.

Yes. So damn convenient. No need to tape around ur SIM card. I was telling this to uncle Benny since the launch of esim on iPhone XS which benefit travellers but everyone goes on and rant about wanting a dual sim card.
