Oh niceeee!! straight from US somemore =D

I'm actually looking at the black ones, wanted to feel it on hand and also the thickness of it, would prefer a thin leather case tho.

I'm comparing between Nomad and Bellroy, Bellroy looks damn sleek tho but the price will be Rm228 include shipping.
*
Which model bro, 12 Pro or 12 Pro Max? I think there are some stocks here and there for black ones but rustic brown is really limited. I ordered during their Black Friday promotion at $38 USD including shipping, but it’s back ordered and won’t be shipped out till next month laugh.gif

What about online bro, on Shopee or Lazada? Tried those yet?

wait what? on the contrary reading reviewers most of them agree iphone cameras are the most neutral in colours, only aggressive in noise reduction which cause the dreaded water painting look. other androids are way more aggressive with the color saturations and contrast, which looks better but isnt what real life portrays.

also since 2018 they can adjust bokeh on the portrait mode on the fly or after. what year you living in? also old skul dual cam portrait mode will always lose to other competitor that employ ToF for better depth perception obviously
*
I tend not to engage in those kinda talk coz color reproduction is kinda subjective and like you said, really depends on personal preference. I'm in agreement with most folks that iPhone's colour reproduction is more skewed towards the neutral and life-like.

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
*
Hahaha, I didn’t get the Mini in the end bro, got a regular 12 instead. Glad that I did coz the battery on the Mini wouldn’t have been adequate for me based on my usage so far smile.gif Either that or I’ve been spoiled by the 12 Pro Max before handing it over to my wife smile.gif

Unofficial review of my iPhone 12 cases:

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

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

So even with the hard to press buttons you still pick the Nomad as your favourite? That’s interesting hmm.gif

Having tried the Pro Max for 3 weeks and now using the size, I can appreciate the compact factor and weight of the smaller phone, though I do miss the battery life of the Pro Max smile.gif

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.
*
Yup, after extensively trying the demo sets for the 12 and 12 Mini decided to go with the 12 instead smile.gif

Finally got my iphone 12... Previously couldn't decide between the 12 or the mini, but now after handling it for a few days, I think I am glad to go for the regular 12 and not the mini.

Coming from the small ip7, the much bigger 6.1" screen give me more room and motivation to explore the full potential of IOS.. Previously I really just use the phone for basic usage (call, whatsapp, camera, and nothing more). Now I get to use more features that I never bothered with before. And having a bigger phone, simply better justify my expensive purchase  tongue.gif (More thing to see and hold)

Maybe after few years, I may change to iphone 13 mini... never know... but at the moment I think I am happy with my first big screen iphone.

Just ordered my Saddle Brown leather case directly from its apple store apps.. process is so seamless and addictive. Keep checking with Siri my order status biggrin.gif I think im now a truly apple fanboy. syok sendiri.

Nice bro, congrats and welcome on board!

Which colour 12 did you get? Blue? wink.gif

Have you bought? As much as I like the mini, I think the 12 would be my choice too.

Btw, what’s the popular colors for the iPhone 12 series? Spoken to Mac city sales person and he said they sold the black color more.
*
Hi hi! Yes I did buy the 12 after passing the 12 Pro Max to my wife. I also liked the idea of having a small phone like the Mini but after trying both demo units extensively I decided that the 12 was more practical in terms of the screen size (especially for typing) and battery life smile.gif

I bought {Product} Red. Was certain I was gonna get blue when I watch the launch event but after seeing the colours in person (red, blue and black), i decided the red one was the most striking - besides, a portion of all sales of the red one goes towards charity so that’s good too smile.gif I guess black is a classic and the safest choice hence more folks went that route. Haven’t seen the white and green phones in person yet though...

I go black . I just prefer there’s no “outline” around the front screen after putting on a case . So all black for me , although a little boring I must say . If I’m rich enough to use the phone without a case I would go for the white !
*
Black would have been my second choice too, I love the black aluminium frames!

QUOTE(mycolumn @ Dec 12 2020, 06:12 AM)
Exactly. My previous phone cases is never more than RM100. laugh.gif

Oh same exact reason i went for a black phone. Other than the matte sides, i prefer to hv no outline around the front screen of my phone.
*
My budget for cases used to be 100 then I upped it to 150. Trying not to be tempted by you guys on the Apple Leather case then I would break my budget already, hahaha...

QUOTE(ftan @ Dec 12 2020, 06:17 AM)
I like the color on the back part. Quite striking and looks classy.
Thinking if I want to upgrade from iPhone 11 (my other phone). And yes, the red and black are the colors I’m eyeing most. I haven’t seen the white or green also.

On a side note, Apple just shipped my 12 pro max. It’s way earlier than the dec 29th expected delivery date. Lucky I got my sp and case ready.
*
The 12 is definitely a substantial upgrade over the 11 - just the display itself is worth the price smile.gif However the battery life is slightly under that of the 11 based on my usage. Haven’t tried out the camera yet though. Congrats on the 12 Pro Max! Did you get blue or graphite? smile.gif

Don’t poison me. It’s so tempting that I may just go splurge. Let me check out the display. I didn’t follow much on the improvements though.

Thanks. Got the pacific blue as it’s a new color and looks nice. Should be getting mid of next week.
*
Yeah Pacific Blue is great!

I passed the Pro Max to my wife after 3 weeks of using it and am now using the 12. On the plus side the weight and the size is far easier to manage than the Pro Max, on the down side is I miss the better battery life smile.gif

The leather case is totally worth the value.
And now all case above 100? Haha
That’s very good bargain for a newly released case.
*
Now the budget for cases is 150 although I already broke that with the Nomad leather one - paid RM158 for that including delivery, hahaha. Yeah, never tried UAG Civilian case before hence decided to try it since they offered RM20 off yesterday plus another RM18 off with MBB credit card.

Anyone interested to check on their battery cycle count can try below method:

https://osxdaily.com/2020/08/11/how-to-chec...atterys-cycles/

I checked mine, activated on 20th November 2020, now my battery cycle count is at 15. sweat.gif
*
Nice find smile.gif

I’m guessing if you don’t charge to 100% every time then it doesn’t count as a complete cycle count? Anyways mine is at 5 activated on 5 Dec 2020.

Yes correct. Whats your charging routine like? Everyday charging?
*
Yup, charging everyday but not overnight. I'll usually plug it in about 9.30pm and then unplug it before I sleep, usually around 11.30pm=12am and it'll usually be 100% by then. At the end of the day, I would usually clock about 5-6 hours SOT with about 30% battery remaining or just slightly less. Battery life is not spectacular but it's more than adequate based on my usage.

Just realized today is 13 Dec ady and I'm with my phone for 1 month ady. What's your review of your 12/12 mini? 😆

I've only used my 12 for a week after using the 12 Pro Max for 3 weeks. The Pro Max definitely has better battery life, but the weight and size of the 12 is nice smile.gif

QUOTE(adamdemz92 @ Dec 14 2020, 08:59 AM)
Hi guys, just a quick update here.

Since Nomad leather cases were out of stock everywhere, i decided to go for a cheaper case option for protection. This case somehow surprised me.

https://shopee.com.my/product/99017824/5657093869

I would say this is 99% same as the ori ones, but the case itself does not have magsafe feature that's all
*
Huh, the Nomad leather case still out of stock? Wow, didn't know it's so popular, hahaha... Still waiting for mine from the US... another 6 weeks to go before they ship it out, hahaha...
