QUOTE(westlife @ Oct 16 2020, 06:43 AM) yes, in fact, i am happy with my 2 x ipad 10w charger to charge my two iphones all the time. never tot of investing in fast charging accessories at all.  Ya, I'm also "slow charging" my iPhones with the same charger. Since I only charge it once a day before I go to bed, I'm in no hurry for it to charge quickly

QUOTE(Kar Weng @ Oct 17 2020, 12:06 AM) If we use different charger than the one from apple, will it affect the iPhone's lifespan? I've heard from someone before that we should only charge an apple phone with an apple charger. How true is that? No, just make sure you get from reputable manufacturers for peace of mind. Quite a number of third party manufacturers costing anywhere from RM20 - RM150. The Apple 20W one at RM99 isn't a bad choice either if you really need one.

QUOTE(soitsuagain @ Oct 17 2020, 08:51 AM) Totally agree with you. USB-C plug is standard spec so don't really need MFI ever, just as long as manufacturer is reputable. Ya, I've got an Aukey one which I bought at half price during a flash sale but I've also got a cheapo Ugreen one that's about RM30 and both working well so far. No issues  I also have an older iPad 12W adapter so I for one am not triggered about the lack of charging brick from the packaging this round, especially since Apple offset the removal of those without substantially increasing the prices of the phones even with 5G.

QUOTE(moosset @ Oct 17 2020, 06:04 PM) that 64GB mini enough kah? I feel like nowadays, every business wants you to download their app. Starbucks, bonuslink, all the banks etc etc .... 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.

QUOTE(moosset @ Oct 17 2020, 08:38 PM) 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.

QUOTE(XeactorZ @ Oct 17 2020, 09:08 PM) You may subscribe to Apple One later this year then can upload your photos / video to iCloud  I'm aiming for that too  QUOTE(moosset @ Oct 18 2020, 12:18 AM) Are we expecting to get 5G soon? 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.

QUOTE(westlife @ Oct 19 2020, 01:05 PM) worst case scenario will be the same as iphone 8 or iphone SE 2? dun think will be anything worse. if u are ok with them, should be ok for iphone 12 mini too. Based on this leak, the battery of the iPhone 12 is slightly bigger to the iPhone X: - https://www.lowyat.net/2020/224066/iphone-1...max-3687mah-nl/Can probably get me through a day on moderate usage. The mini though is a bit small-ish, bigger than the SE of course but I wonder if it'll last a day

QUOTE(theWeird_Weird @ Oct 19 2020, 05:50 PM) do u guys think which telco will have the cheapest plan that can tie with their iphone? Celcom or Digi? Saw digi got a RM80 plan available for the current ip11 range but not sure will it be available for ip12 later or not Based on previous observations, U Mobile and DiGi would normally be cheaper followed by Celcom and maxis in terms of TCO (plan+phone)

QUOTE(theWeird_Weird @ Oct 19 2020, 07:37 PM) Ah ic. Anyone using umobile here can give any feedback on stability/speed in klang valley? The last I used umobiles was few years ago Don’t get a phone from a telco based solely on price, make sure it has good coverage where you live, work and play. Maybe get a prepaid SIM card and try it out first before you commit to signing a two year contract. I’ve signed two year contracts with DiGi and U Mobile before, both times I regretted due to the poor coverage at my housing area

QUOTE(theWeird_Weird @ Oct 20 2020, 09:21 AM) I'm using digi now and the performance is ok la still acceptable. Just hope that they offer the phone with the rm80 plan 😂 Hahaha, ya, best stick the telco you are familiar with when signing a long term contract. DiGi has improved by leaps and bounds from what I hear. I signed a contract with them for iPhone 4 back in the day, and I remember I won't get service during bad weather
