Not really, bro. If you take into account the costs of the two missing items from this year’s package, at best, it’s of similar value. But that’s left to be seen since we do not have the actual prices yet of the accessories.

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.

I beg to differ, bro. on your last point. Cheers.

By and large, a very enlightening video but at the same time, can throw a monkey wrench in the woodworks for many. At the end of the day, I suppose each and every one of us, even after digesting all these information, will somehow decide based on our own rationalisation.

So, yeah, go out and buy what you like and don’t be too easily swayed by others. After all, it’s your money. Cheers.

Don’t get me wrong. Decisions are based on knowledge gathered. That’s why I said from the outset, the video is informative. Was just saying that, as an example myself, before watching the said video I sort of made up my mind as to which model to grab but after, I have to compute more inside me as a lot provided therein makes sense.

So, it’s a dilemma, probably for many others too.

There you go. You just proved a point I made, correct. You, yourself decide what you buy because that’s what you like/want. Good for you.

From your input iPhone 12Pro is RM200 more over 11Pro but if you cost in the charging brick and earphones, total value of these 2 is about RM200, it means this year, for the Pro variant, it is about RM400 more expensive, comparing apple to apple(excuse the pun). Correct me if I am wrong.

Again, you misunderstand. I was not addressing the extras or improvements over previous year’s. Merely touching on the prices posted by you and commented by the other forummer.

It is a forgone conclusion that newer models will be better year in and year out. And before I am misinterpreted once again, make no mistake, iPhones are great but I strongly believe that if something or someone is good, don’t tell them it’s good, tell them what’s not good enough and hence they can improve further. In the case of mobile phones, remember, there’s no perfect phone.

But the graphic posted by the other forummer depicted the 256gb iPhone 12Pro’s price as RM5799. Hence, my observation. Not sure of the pricings. That’s why I asked to be corrected if I am wrong.

So, which is correct please?

Cool. The graphic posted earlier shows a different price from this. Thus, my comments. Rubbish in, rubbish out

Can you please elaborate how you equate ecosystem to additional business? I want to be educated.

For me, no charging brick aside, not to mention the earphones, the sort of deal breaker for me is the reduced battery capacity. No matter how power efficient the iPhones are, with the phones having 5G, they will definitely not last as long as we would like it to be.

High refresh rate is good to have but not end of the world without it. That’s for me.

My take on battery life for mobile phones in general and specifically on these iPhone 12s.

I have been saying for a long time that battery life is dependent on usage. So, whilst you can form an idea from other users but it will never be conclusive.

With that said, what is even more important is how much the battery drains when idling. iPhones historically have been very good in this department. But from reports, the 12s are faring badly. It could just be isolated cases thus far but it’s not something one should ignore if battery life is important to him/her.

Just my take and something to take cognisance of. I will.

The overall design, yes, probably will stay for some years.

But rumours are rife that the notch will either be smaller or gone in the next iteration. They may also have an on-screen fingerprint scanner. And finally even have the USB-C port to boot.

So, yeah, design no change per se but the above to me are changes nonetheless. And it’s for the better, if true.

Yeah but why not wait for a little while more and with the phone comes peace of mind with local warranty?

No, my friend. Correct me if I am wrong, folks.

Really? I have moved from iOS to Android for sometime now. So, I am out of date with information in this context.

That being the case, early adopters, what are you waiting for?

This is in fact good news. When the 12 Pro Max comes out, I can get someone to get it for me from across the causeway and not have to crane my neck to wait for it to come to our motherland. Cool.

That’s another story.

I doubt Apple will release the 12 Mini and Max to our neck of the woods immediately after the launch. Will have to wait our turn.
