Gonna seek to good people here for opinions especially on specs as i’m lost in the specs terminology and latest news that you guys are very updated with.

i’m coming from ip8+ and i’m comparing it w ip12 and ip11pro and specs versus value.

Don’t feel there’s huge difference between 11pro and ip12. Most probably I’ll go w Maxis zerolution and end up RM4,000+. Just wished there’s ip11pro w 128GB (edited!) that would be perfect.

I’d love the smaller size and weigh of ip12 but it’s 64GB, and weight and size is good. Edited: Cheaper than ip11pro by rm500?! but originally thought its more expensive than ip11pro.

ip11pro has everything except front facing deep fusion and linear to quick focus. Don’t need Dolby vision though i take some videos.

11pro?

There is a 11 Pro 256GB, but I'm not sure how much stocks they have left of it. The 11 Pro also only has night mode for the main camera where else the 12 series have night mode across all cams. But yeah, if that's not important to you and you can get the 11 Pro on a bargain, then yes, it is a good deal.

thanks for your inputs bro. You really have done your research for all the Apple devices huh? biggrin.gif
I made mistake, was hoping to have ip11pro 128GB, don’t need 256GB too big a kill. Eventually i’m limited by budget and needed something better than ip8+ and ip11pro can last another 3-5 years

well coming from 7+ so for me it's make better sense to get 12promax...  wub.gif
i compare the size for 11promax and 12promax not much different  bruce.gif
so if u can accept 11promax... and have additional $$  brows.gif  might as well get the 12promax... but in the end of the day it's depend on your budget and wallet  devil.gif
if u take alot of videos and photo... would suggest u get 12promax though?  cool2.gif

thanks for your thoughts.
here’s my sharing - actually you are quite similar to my situation coming from the largest size iphone models (7+/8+) but actually if you think through it, we chose larger size back then is because we wanted larger screens. But now the screens are larger but the overall phone can be smaller. Unless you need the width to type w 2 thumbs (i’m coming from blackberry user which many people here don’t really care about).

even if you like to take videos and photos, don’t need 12pro max and 12pro, just go for 128GB. Unless you can afford, go for it biggrin.gif

i’m bored w the weight and size of 8+ and seems ip12 is the sweet spot now, bigger screen, lighter, smaller, and cheaper than 11pro and 11promax.

I've received the 20W USB-C power adapter which directly ship from Apple South Asia Pre Ltd. The Machines from MY is still unavailable.

The rest accessories still under my consideration.

Some news about iphone 12/pro battery.
https://www.tomsguide.com/news/iphone-12-ba...heyre-not-great

Btw any feedback about quick charge on the iphone 11’s? Read that it lowers the lifespan.

Sorry! bangwall.gif
Don’t mean to make you super sad sad
It just says under 5G but no one surfs for 8 hours non stop. Mentioned in the test. Technically the test was, opens a new tab every 30 seconds haha and I believe if 5G is really that fast, its meant to download and already finished downloading in no time. But as normal human, we could be watching youtube for 8 hours, don’t need 5G, 4G is already enough right? Then the ip12/pro battery lasts longer. Hope to make you feel slightly not so sad... sweat.gif

Don’t worry la, by time you get 5G here in Malaysia, you will already be carrying iPhone 13 / 14  tongue.gif

looking at the state of our nation, wouldn’t be surprised if 5G coming at all. After all PIC will benefit in others ways if you get my drift...

yes... there's one shop highly recommended with the brown sugar cake and their coffee is really kaw kaw  drool.gif  it's opposite the aeon mall bukit tinggi shoplots
road blocks were removed since they now follow the selangor pkpb

Sounds like a plan! I like coffee tongue.gif

Oh, didn't know that. But no la, I will give them some business laugh.gif
No roadblocks so far, have been driving around freely over the weekend. Eh, Klang got good coffee, from local kopitiam one like Chong Kok and Choon Guan to fancy ones like Blackstone, Coffee Ink and Mokka smile.gif You also from Klang? We can organise a socially distant yamchar session, hahaha...
Ya lah, if didn't marry Telco contract need to shelve out RM5k for the phone, which is a bit irresponsible given the current economic climate, hahaha.. Aeon Bukit Tinggi very near my place smile.gif

It would be my first meeting up w forumers! Always see people posting about it haha
And thanks for recommending some of those cafe, would check them out.
And you got the irresponsible part right, i feel it too, should be stretching our $$ since there’s no interests involved.

Not sure it’s pure coincidental, right after I’ve posted the above, and looked at my phone, the screen protector cracked again! Always at the home button, I’ve changed 3 SP this year!
Really liked HODA but have to find new brand now. Sigh....a sign for me to move to Face ID? 😂

On a separate note,
TBH this extended CMCO will be the killing blow to my business. Might not have the cash for ip12 anymore.

I wished I own a chain of cinema or even just one is good enough. At least have earned some before nowadays. I’m sure could buy one ip12.

I’m in what many don’t think highly or even needed these day - education in a small way.

Just curious guys, what happens to this thread when everyone here have gotten their ip12 and casing? Pictures of their phones, charges and scratched screens? 🤣

Haven't heard a single person said about white color, the more I see it online?', actually looks better than the 12 blue.

Over the years, the pattern is quite predictable

Stage 1 - Before official launch: Excitement watching the launch, discussion about features, colours, anticipation (and speculation) on launch date, accessories, etc.

Stage 2 - During official launch: Hunting for stocks, availability, unboxing, early defects detection, lemon units (if any)...

Stage 3 - After official launch: Newer bargains, new accessories, sample photos, longer term defects/problems, warranty/after sales service discussions, etc. (And by this point the number of daily posts would have reduced greatly) biggrin.gif

I'm giving you the antidote.

Going for 256GB because my current one is 256 and I already filled more than half.

Imagine 128GB you gotta make sure not to film everything in 4K.
*
how do you manage to organize so much items 128GB? I’m also having problems in organizing the thousands of photos and it’s taking up my ip8+ memory. Photo apps is not user friendly. icloud photos was bad from Mac.

Is it okay if i ask how you guys manage photos on iphone? icloud is okay but organizing is hard.

So I usually delete all my duplicated pictures, especially when you edit a pic using Lightroom or Instagram, it will automatically save one copy in your photo app...eventually make a duplicate. So I usually delete the original and keep the edited version. And, I take so many same picture and choose which is the best and delete the rest.

So that is the secret of how I manage my storage. You have to do a bit of sacrificing, delete those unwanted pic.

Thanks sis. Unfortunately I have missed that boat of having the discipline to delete immediately when taken. Now I have to organize many thousands and sort out this sync problems w Apple Photos App, icloud and google photos. And my iphone keep crashing due to memory full!

Ugreen.
I bought the 30W straight so can charge iPad.
I wonder if Lazada can offer same day delivery or it's the same like all?
*
is this for the recent ipad pro? It’s 20w right?

I’m also looking for a brick that could charge ipad pro and possibly ip12 (haha) 2 usb c in one brick. Saw someone mentioned ip12 has 22.5w?
So 30w sounds okay but worried it might damaged ipad instead rclxub.gif


QUOTE(emilyngsc @ Oct 30 2020, 10:01 AM)
I'd rather straightaway jump PD 65W. I've purchased for my mom the 18w + USB C2C cable for around RM 36 since Xiaomi 2 pin power adapter is too bulky together with the multipurpose adapter. Now use USB C2C is more convenient.
*
which brand is the one for 18w + USB C?



Any recommendations for a wireless charger that can charge pretty quickly for ip12 and also ip11? Don’t have to be max 15w for ip12 but not so extreme of 1-2w in one video i saw.
