Apple mentioned in future, their homepod mini will be able to simulate Dolby Atmos surround sound when paired with other homepod minis. This would be interesting.

it is, i remember last time LG released a speaker bar for TV and markets it with Dolby Atmos "surround". but the speakers are all coming from a single speaker bar. how is that surround? proper surround sound multiple speakers setup be like



anyway as for the screen wise, it mostly matters to the ones who uses it that way. i know lots of peeps would enjoy the dynamic contrast of apple's new HDR10 screens since they watch alot content on them

for us who uses phones for err.. instant messaging mostly then its moot lol, even LCD works

That’s another marketing bullshit lol... you can get stereo speakers or even surround if you can pair up to 4 homepods but Atmos definitely not...


It’s possible if the soundbar has upfiring speakers, but it will never give the same realistic sound from ceiling speakers. But Samsung’s Atmos soundbar has really come a long way, does Atmos very well for a soundbar.
Sony’s soundbar uses digital sound processing to simulate Atmos, still no where as close to even upfiring speakers soundbar. For Apple to simulate Atmos on their mini HomePod speaker they will need to pray to God to defy physics...

it should be the same like ori homepod

8 speakers in one module. problem is its drivers are tiny, how does it emulate the more powerful dolby speakers?

dolby has been lenient in approving haha

that 64GB mini enough kah?

I feel like nowadays, every business wants you to download their app. Starbucks, bonuslink, all the banks etc etc ....

Lol money is king. The universal language

for me enough since most apps are pretty lightweight. not to mention thats why apple introduced AppClips

but if you those kind that keeps and stores everything locally on phone instead of cloud then its def not enough. im usually running 49GB/64GB free on my XR even with 9GB songs, 5GB pics/vids


ikr? sighs we cant trust certifications anymore

If you're not a gamer and you have the discipline to constantly transfer photos and videos from your phone to the laptop or subscribe to a larger iCloud storage option, then yes, 64GB will be OK.

I'm currently on 64GB. I don't have that discipline to transfer photos and videos.

that way, my phone was running out space. I checked all the apps, everything also important, especially there are certain apps required for identity verification. Then I transferred all the videos to my computer, now I've about 12GB left.

Oh, I forgot to mention how long you keep your phone is also a factor in determining how much storage you should get. If it's 3 years or more, advisable to go for the larger storage options. Besides, the difference from 64GB to 128GB for the 12 series is only RM200 difference.

yeah then better buy 128/256GB. most of my friends who consume alot like you def need more and even 128GB isnt enough for them

i need more for my PC haha not phone

dun waste time with 64gb, it just simply limits the capability of your new iphone. go BIG or go HOME.

You may subscribe to Apple One later this year
then can upload your photos / video to iCloud

i think it depends on individual's usage.
I never utilised my storage more than 30gb, all photos and videos and synced to google photos.
And I don't play mobile games so 64gb is pretty much sufficient for me though.

Are we expecting to get 5G soon?

MY gov said 2022 they plan to release to all consumer market

so...

I'm aiming for that too

We're at least 2-3 years away from 5G adoption so that shouldn't factor in your choice for buying a new phone now, unless you plan to keep the phone for 5 years.

hopefully big cities get 5G earlier than 2022.

if you're using icloud for storing your photo, 64gb is enough
because 20GB photo in icloud and your phone is just only keep the lower resolution type until u go to view it.
Ur phone will auto load from icloud full resolution on the fly.

very difficult....
