I heard the reception from eSIM is not as good as physical SIM, so I suggest you to maintain physical SIM for the one you frequently use. Like for me, my data is fetched from Celcom which the line is paid by my company, it will be maintained as physical SIM while my personal Digi line is mainly for calls and banks OTP, I use eSIM.
*
Not sure whether it's only iPhone that have issues with reception for esim but I read in FB group forgot which one (Android phone), they said their reception is better in esim than physical one. And their battery life is improved too.
Should be better than physical as integrated.


Anyway, I pre-ordered Pro Max 128GB for me and 256GB for my dad. Both are Gold.
Since I already took Blue color for 12 Mini, so I chose Gold for this one.
Cannot ignore the Mini, seems the smallest iPhone with full screen real estate laugh.gif

fak still torn between pro max and mini god damn

Yeah both are great, that's why I bought both to test. The Mini is really something while Pro Max is needed for it's cameras.

Once you go only with one phone, you won't want to carry two phones anymore. tongue.gif
I have been using it on dual SIM phones since 2015 and totally appreciate its convenience.
Maybe it's just iPhone and hopefully things are improved now. thumbup.gif

Hopefully. I'm using esim for data line only from Digi. Previously always opt to HK set with it's dual physical sim.

And I reckon I will need a paid software which I haven't figured out yet. laugh.gif This purchase is just too impulse and I don't have any casing or whatnot. sweat.gif

Yea need paid app to do that, it's not hard but it has many steps which can take maybe around 30 minutes?
For this 12 Pro Max, I'm waiting for Element Case. Last original EC I bought was for iPhone 4. Then later on using imitation EC only laugh.gif

I Googled and it seems many software companies say they can do it but if anyone who has real life experience with which reliable paid software that can transfer WhatsApp from Android to iPhone, please share with me. notworthy.gif If it can transfer from GDrive is even better. tongue.gif

This time I may just opt for Rock Space.

I can't recommend my previous method as new iOS might be restrict it. Last time tried on iPhone 8 Plus / X.
I will try again when I get the phone and will share it here later how it goes.

For those who want to get the iphone 12 series on the 13th, you can try go to Urban Republic.

I just canceled my orders from Apple Online Store and walk-in pre-order from UR.

My Mini 128GB Blue & Pro Max 128GB Gold can be collected on 13th while my Pro Max 256GB Gold able to collect on 16th.

These are better than Apple Online Store which my 128GBs will receive on 18th and the 256GB will get on end of the month.

The Gold is shining, looking nice
