Iphone 12 mini 128gb is now selling at RM2979 at Machines website.

In the first place I plan to purchase Iphone SE 3rd gen 256gb that cost me RM2700++, but when I see Iphone 12 mini drop price, I change my mind and purchase 12 mini instead

Mini is a better indeed just that should probably go for 256GB mini.

I have a basic Ipad at home and I feel like purchase 256gb is too much.😂

When i'm at home, I usually use my Ipad instead of my own phone.

Do not see the relevant seriously. If u ask me. 256gb on iPad is overkilled especially for ur basic iPad.

Why I recon to go for 256gb minimum for iPhone Becos iPhone u will use it to take photos and videos. given the iPhones have improved in photos and videos quality over the years, the size of them will get bigger and bigger.

Buying a 128gb will limit the capability of u to take photos and videos especially videos. If you are taking 4K videos, call 128gb will become the limitation of ur iPhone soon.

Same apply to ur iPad, u will not use ur iPad to take photos or videos especially urs is basic iPad Becos the camera is not so fantastic. If u are telling me that u are using iPad Pro that has better capable camera and u do use it to take photos and videos, maybe u will need more storage but for ur case I am sure 256gb is totally overkilled. U check ur current usage u should be able to tell.

So if u asked me, ur choice of storage options for ur iPad and iPhone are totally opposite.

He never said a 256GB iPad, just a regular one that can be used for maybe heavy apps etc like games etc that take up space.

I think 128gb you can get by on the phone for now. I’ve been using my 128 ip 12 for a year now and at about 90gb used. I also take a load of photos and videos but I’m normally not inclined to take 4K as I think it’s also overkill.

The key here is to make sure you have cloud storage such as iCloud or OneDrive or Google drive. I’m using a 50GB iCloud for Googledrive and a 1tb OneDrive for others.

Damn, Iphone 12 mini and non mini selling cheaper than Machines.

I forgot to do the price comparison. Haha. But it's okay Machines outlet is nearer with my home. 🤣

Surprisingly they drop the price. I visited both of these companies website few days ago and at that time they still haven't drop the price yet.

Very competitive between iPhone mini 12 64GB vs iPhone SE 2022 64 GB vs iPhone 11 64GB.

If you can wait until march 2023, ip12 will probably be at RM2500 or 2600 range

Went to Machines to pickup my Iphone just now.

I'm glad that I choose 12 mini instead of SE 3rd gen.

I'm using android before this and already used to gesture feature.

When I play around with SE 3, I feel so awkward with the device

if brand new vs brand new, I might go for the Iphone 11 pro max at the same price. But when I bought my Iphone 12 it was cheaper than 11 pro max and I couldn't justify spending more. Today can you get a brand new one?

If you are comparing used vs new its a random crap shoot.

One saving grace for the Iphone 12 which is important to me, is that the ultra wide angle can do night mode. It is damn important for me, so 2 pros for Iphone 12 for me.

Edit - just remembered the most damn importantest thing, Iphone 12 can unlock with face mask + face shield. Iphone 11 cannot do so.....Well this point just kills everything for me.

I really don’t wanna comment used phones, no one knows. Of course if I have to say something then a newer phone (by age) is better.

Looking to jump ship to iOS as an android for more than 10 yrs coming from Poco F1.

I'm eyeing mini right now. Watched tones of review by comparing with 13 mini and similar price range android phone like Galaxy S20 FE and S21 FE. I think I will settle with 12 mini.

Senheng currently selling 12 mini at 2399 for base model and 13 mini at 3099. I checked out the real device side by side, really couldn't tell the difference. By looking at the 2 only the notch size slightly different. Really love the one hand control, just like my old Redmi note 2 with 5.5" screen. Comparing 12 mini and 13 mini, with the price gap of RM700, I really cannot pick 13 mini.

Before anyone mentioning only the 64G storage on 12 mini, base on my usage from my current poco F1 64G, I still have 30G left. I think the 12 mini base model is enuff for my usage.

So, what do you guys think about the pricing? Is it a good buy now, or should I wait for 6.6 to see if there is any additonal promo? hmm.gif

Edit: I check with others user, looks like everyone recommend 13mini instead of 12 mini. Will need to think about it.

i used 12 mini since launched while my wife using 13 mini. there's a huge different in battery life, if u can live with okay battery life then 12 mini is for you since 13 mini battery life a little bit better than the bigger iphone 12. another notable difference that i saw, the screen on 13 mini slightly much better compare to 12 mini and camera output also a little bit punchier on the 13 mini. note there's also this cinematic mode aka portrait mode for video on 13 mini.
