Malaysia model only support 5G (sub-6 GHz)?

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
best is local sim card using physical sim... unless you have secondary line, secondary line go for esim

I think the demand now is leaning towards mid range or budget phones. Top tier phones with their ridiculous pricing are putting many consumers off. Many consumers are more budget conscious now, knowing that there is basically nothing that the mid tier phones can't do against the top of the crop models. Most is only the bells and whistles that many can live without. That is where Xiaomi is doing really well with it's Mi10 series.

Just 10 Mah difference only from the 11 Pro Max. You wont notice the difference.


Yes.. Pro Max will only be available from November onwards. No rush bro. I dont think there will be any shortage of supplies this round just like the last round of 11 Pro Max. Chill.

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.

Im on Xs Max now but unsure should upgrade 12 Pro Max or not. The only I miss is the wide view camera.

the only telco i know can immediately generate qr code for new/replacement is yoodo 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

the 12promax is similar size as 11promax but then it's also smaller slightly...
i just got the case for ringke... and i will take picture to show comparison between the 11promax

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?

Pictures comparison between 11promax case and 12promax case

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
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)

pre-order, is self collection from apple store nearby or delivery?

sorry, never pre-order before.

do you think that 128gb 12 pro max pacific blue will be out of stock after few hours?

You just own the internet today.

Will upgrade from 11 Pro Max for the redesign, I really like this design which like the 4

Yup, I just got 12 Pro Max case, slightly bigger than 11 Pro Max

Hahaha, no bro, I just own a charger and a pair of AirPods Pro

Not being a jerk here. But you must also cost in the standard boxed-in accessories like the charging brick and earphones. With that said, there would be increases in prices albeit not huge relatively.

iPhone 11 Pro Max 64GB @ RM5299, iPhone 12 Pro Max 128GB 5G @ RM5299. Increase % = 0.
iPhone 11 Pro Max 256GB @ RM5999, iPhone 12 Pro Max 256GB 5G @ RM5799. Increase % = -3.3%
yea, i said so to my friend as well.
+- almost the same price.

Yes, point taken, bro. The original charging brick and earphones from Apple cost RM99 each (RRP) so it's about another RM200, which still makes the quantum of price increase for the iPhone the lowest this year.

Oh, and there are no jerks here, bro. All free to have an opinion, hahaha
