Is anyone when can we preorder iPhone 12 in Malaysia?

Resellers like machines, Switch, Senheng, etc. still have stocks. Can look out for some good deals beyond the RM500 discounts being offered now.

Huh? Where to get the 11 Pro Max at Rm3XXX to have savings of Rm2k over the 12 Pro Max? Used set you mean? If really can get new at Rm3XXX, then worth it over the minor updates you will be getting from the 12 Pro Max.

mmWave is really costly to roll out as it requires a ton of base station to be built. Not to mention the entire infrastructure stack is non-existent.

There will be certain spot with mmWave just for telco to brag but widespread roll out is unlikely within the next 3 years.

Our 4G is not even up to global standards like Taiwan or Korea.

if u wan to save rm2k, just get the iphone 12, not worth to get 11 pro max.

iphone 12 has 5G, a14 chip, better lens for main camera, night mode in all camera, smart hdr 3, dolby vision video recording, magsafe.

Bro, don't get 11 pro max. You will be losing out nightmode for the ultrawide, telephoto and selfie lens plus 5G. Not now but will future proof ur phone.

Reality speaking, even if you ‘future proof’ your phone - you are more likely to change it again after a year or two. Technology advances.

At this time of age, I don’t think ‘future proof’ works for phones anymore. But hey, newer is always better - always a reason to justify the purchase.

I think you’ve made a good point.

Just get whatever suits you - trust your gut.

Hi guys. Would like to ask about magsafe. As far as I know all i12 has magsafe in the phone . Means the phone will stick to a magsafe charger itself right ? Then whats the purpose for clear case with magsafe that is advertised in apple official web ? Any different between official magsafe clear case vs rm5 China made cheapo silicon clear case ?

Yes the biggest issues for telcos on 5G is the cost. Compare to the base stations needed to cover one area for 4G, the same area to be covered for 5G requires 5 to 6 times more base stations.

This cost will eventually be transferred to consumer for sure.

not to mention, even 4G coverage and speed still suck for most telcos here.

I’m probably being hypocritical about this considering I sold my iPhone 11 Pro Max for 4k, but I’d have reservations about buying a used set for that amount of money especially if the warranty has expired.

Go big or go small or go home.


Good video to summary what mistakes one should not make for iphone 12 purchase.

Apple Malaysia has filed for Sirim certification on 13th October 2020 for Iphone 12 and 12pro.

We can expect pre-order soon

Nice (but pricey) 3rd party accessories from Belkin

Ahh, this pretty much justified to go for 12pro.

Thanks alot bro.

Maxis brand new is selling with cobtract for about rm3.6k+. And of course there are advance payment of RM1400 to be rebated monthly which looks fine to me.

3.6k for the 256GB 11 Pro Max?

Actually, is there any "real saving" based on the monthly bill payment charges ?
Right now we can go for RM30~40 / month cycle of phone plan *

Unless those bill charges can offset with company benefit (company pay your phone bill) then yes, haha

MagSafe is a technology used on previous versions of the MacBooks - its a magnetic charger that can be detached with sufficient force, like all magnets do. The beauty of this was to avoid people tripping over the cables and pulling the entire MacBooks with it.

MagSafe on the iPhone is basically another charging standard that is also compatible with Qi chargers. The casing from Apple seems to have another layer of ‘magnets’ to hold the additional accessories that is also MagSafe certified ;- the add on wallet holder. Its basically an accessory for people like me who hates carrying wallets around - just snap it to the back and ready to head out.

You’ll need a wireless charger that is Qi standard or MagSafe to charge it ‘wirelessly’.

Belkin always mahal one

Waiting for Nomad to come out with another all-in-one charging base - the current Base Station Pro abit out of budget.
