Nope, that will be revealed later by third party websites, hahaha...

By the way, iPhone 11 has received a price cut across board in the Apple MY website

Missed opportunity.. I thought the 12 would be priced the same as the 11 and the 12 mini would be cheaper, but the 12 Mini is same price as the 11 previously and the 12 costs slightly more. Oh well....

Ok well, that's a big point here that EarPods and adapter is not included!!! Means that we have to purchase another 200+ for an adapter which we can't use the old one cause it's type C-lightning. Good job apple im gonna throw up
*
To me, it's not that big a deal coz I've not used the original accessories that comes with every iPhone I've owned since the iPhone 5 as I've always used my iPad charger. When I sell off my iPhones, the accessories are almost always unused (except maybe the cable which I might use during emergency).

QUOTE(Kar Weng @ Oct 14 2020, 03:16 AM)
Hey all, quick 3 questions for iPhone 12 mini which I’m interested in getting:

1) I can accept not having earpods but there’s  no adapter at all! How do I charge my phone with that cable (USB-C) given? Can I use back the norma cable & adapter of my iphone 7? If not, which apple adapter should we buy that will specifically suit the iPhone 12 mini and its included cable?

2) Is the trade-in program only available for US? When I tried using the US site there’s an option to trade in iPhone 7 for $100, but such option not shown in Apple MY.

3) Is 128gb or 256gb better for this model? I had an extremely bad storage experience with my 32gb iPhone 7. I’m assuming a cam & iOS with higher specs/greater ver will eat up much more spaces. Is 256gb worth it?
Thanks in advance!

1) Yes, you can charge it with your iPhone 7 charger and cable, just that it'll take much longer.

2) Our local retailers do have their own trade in program but bear in mind they are just authorized resellers, so their offer won't be as good as what is offered by Apple themselves.

3) Depending on how long you intend to keep the phone. if it's 3 years or more, I'd say go for the 256GB. Alternatively, you could subscribe to a larger iCloud storage option and get the 128GB one, which is what I plan to do.

For the charger u can always go for branded third party one, could be cheaper. As for 5g, now it's too early, almost everyone here will upgrade yearly or every 2 years. So I pretty much guarantee by the time 5g official arrive here, u all will already change phone. laugh.gif
*
Right, so if you have a 11 series, can skip this upgrade and wait for next year.

IP11 (LCD) going for Rm2899 quite good buy since we have zero 5G usage for the time being.

That's the RRP now, I expect more discounts from online sellers come 11.11 or 12.12 smile.gif

OLED / A14 (better modem)= yes
5G = maybe 2021 / 2022

RM1000 still a huge gap if 2021 IP may has small notch (or notchless design) and USB-C  laugh.gif but it's another topic all together...
*
Haha, yeah, paying more for 5G shouldn't be a consideration now, unless one plans to use the phone for 5 years then definitely worth paying RM1k over the iPhone 11

After much pondering, decide to go for 12 over 12 Pro. I don't use telephoto on my X, like at all so the camera upgrade not that huge for me. Design wise both 12 and 12 Pro are good. I suppose I go for 12 one...then save up for the next big change.

Magsafe case and the wallet are very interesting though. More money to be spent lol.
*
Actually the 12 seems to be like a good balance between size and price now, for those who don't need the telephoto lens. It's a big upgrade over the 11 in terms of the display quality and it's also more compact than the 11. Definitely a good choice!

Assume you are eyeing the Blue colour then laugh.gif

the upgrade is significant. just the display alone is totally different level.  tongue.gif
no point to get iphone 11 now even it is 'cheaper'.

Ya, those who are on a tighter budget may consider the 12 Mini instead of the 11 for RM500 more.

I just found out an interesting fact.

iPhone mini is as big as iPhone 7 Plus! 😂
Just merely 0.1” different in term of screen size

Hahaha, good point. What a difference bezels (or the lack thereof) makes!

Cant wait to get ip12 mini. Upgrading from ip6s. I’ve waited long for apple to release smaller/compact phone. We have yet to know the release or pre-order date right?

I want to ask about the charger since it is not being included. I have a 29w usb-c power adaptor for 2016 12” macbook. Can this be use to charge ip12?

Yes, you can. No issues smile.gif

We should consider ourselves lucky to be in the second wave, to be honest. Before last year, the wait was much longer laugh.gif

i think someone did a test before, maximum benefit is up to 30-40W at best. but the returns are sibeh low for the cost youre paying la

the results are like below for full charge from 0-100% if i recall correctly when charging iphone

5W - takes 3hrs, 1 1/2hr to 50%
12W - takes close to 2hrs, 1hr to 50%
18-20W - takes 1 1/2hr, 30min to 50%
30W - takes 1hr 20min, 30min to 50%
96W - takes 1hr 20min, 30min to 50%
*
Yeah, that’s why previously a number of folks recommended that we just use the iPad 12W charger for the right balance between price and charging times, but now that Apple’s 20W charger costs just RM10 more than the 12W one, it’s a no brainer smile.gif
