Not surprising since people are going for the middle ground.

True, the difference is just the RAM and camera but only if you take a lot of photos and videos, other than that, 12 is good enough.

Yes, be careful when you wipe with alcohol based because it can melt the glue between the screen and body of the phone.


P.S.

To those planning to get Mous case:

Black Friday sales
https://www.storminggravity.com/collections...phone-12-series

I'm using white and I got the Carbon Fiber..

You can try the leather or speckled black.

Mine also 14.2.1 but can last quite long with regular gaming and social media.

Why don't bring powerbank? I always bring because usually I'm out the whole day and can't risk my phone dying on me.

I always bring not just for me but in case the gf forgot hers, there's a backup.

For adapter, either Ugreen, Anker or Aukey.

I'm also looking for another cable too but braided and flexible kind so it can withstand bending.

EDIT: ZMI cable is quite good.

Same, got mine from a forumer yesterday, first leather case for me and liking the smell haha.

It has a nice smell.

Great, switching around the backplates.

Was using Nomad last week, because wanted the classy look.

12 and 12 mini won't have this feature.

Hmm, the local resellers are also sold out.

1. forexengineer.com.my
2. storminggravity.com

Probably due to the influence from forumers.

True, I'm not a mobile photographer that requires photography for my job or anything.

The 12 is good enough tbh.

I know you have both mini and 12 PM haha

Unofficial review of my iPhone 12 cases:

After using the cases I bought, I can review them now.

1. RhinoShield Mod NX - 8.5/10

Sleek and firm grip due to the material of the bumper made with plastic but doesn't slip through my fingers.

I chose the backplate option because I like customizability and options plus their designs are nice. Plus, with the backplate, it offers a little more protection and you can easily wipe dirt or smudges off it.

Only thing that bothers me is the buttons/tactile feedback, they don't pop out so in order to press the volume up/down and power button, you have to apply some force there.


2. Nomad Rugged Leather Case - 9/10

My first leather case of all the phones I owned before. Another case which has a nice feel and smell to it because despite the back being leather, it's also smooth and the side is made from plastic but it has good grip too.

Quite protective but not scratch resistant because the leather back is prone to scratches. It's not bulky too so it won't feel so big on your hands.

The buttons/tactile feedback are the same as RhinoShield because it's also hard to press as well.


3. Mous Limitless 3.0 - 9/10

Bought this due to the influence of several forumers and from reviews.

As with the cases above, the grip is firm and solid because this is the most protective among the 3.

I chose the Aramid Fiber case because I like carbon fiber and this is a similar but not the same material because Aramid is much tougher and durable.

It's bulkier than the other 2 cases but I don't mind because I'm not worried if I drop the phone. However, the buttons/tactile feedback is great, I don't have to apply pressure at all because the button cut outs pop out.

In a nutshell, I like all the cases above but my favourite is the Nomad.

Oh, ok. Good thing you went with the 12 instead.

Yeah, even with the hard press buttons but I like the look of the Nomad case hehe.

It's around there but can't help it when there's so many nice cases

Good choice, 12 mini is just too small.

I think mine is the lowest here, 95% but heavy usage and gaming, used from early November.

Letting go of my RhinoShield backplate, only used once. Just the backplate, not the whole case.

Anyone's iPhone 12 battery percentage is dropping fast?

Mine is 93% after 6 months. I game quite frequent on it so that might be a contributing factor but previously my XS didn't drop so fast.

EDIT: Fast charging will in fact degrade battery, such as using 30W adapters.

Oh, alright..

Wow, but I guess you do not game or use high battery consumption apps.
