Yes iOS no sideloading, on android I can do a bunch of stuff, root, install ad blocker, remove bloatware, flash custom rom.
So far the only problem I see is transfering whatsapp data to iOS. Other than that contacts and those I think can just use the "Move to iOS Apps"
13 mini base model is 128gb. no 64G for 13 mini

13 mini is selling at RM3033 after discount, 12 mini at RM2399 but rdy stock.
The difference is RM700
For 13 mini need to pre-oder because all the reseller currently out of stock.

What you get from 13 Mini compare to 12 mini is
- Newer A15 chip
- Better battery life
- Bigger storage 128 GB
- slightly better camera
- Smaller notch, but taller
*
considering the upgrade in space is worth a few hundred bucks, i won't really go for 12 mini.
and yes, it is 1 time trouble (see cheap paid options in shopee) for Whatsapp migration.
Don't buy something and cripple it with lack of space la. Why not just get the plain IP12 128GB. Solves quite a few problems. Just a little too big for 1 handed but you can get by...and eyes not suffer.

Considering to finally upgrade my secondary phone which is a trusty iPhone 7.
Thinking between upgrading to either iPhone 11 Mini or iPhone 12 Mini.

If my consideration (apart from budget) is photo quality, does the iPhone 12 Mini offers a significant improvement as compared to its predecessor and is it worth the $$$.

I am already using Samsung S22 Ultra as my main phone and now that iPhone 7 is running out of updates.

There is no iPhone 11 mini, but if you are considering between 12 and 13 mini then looks like minimal difference in photo quality.

Ah, what I meant was iPhone 11 vs iPhone 12 mini. Battery aside, is the 12 mini camera worth the extra $$$ instead of the 11.
*
for me, Iphone 11 no night mode on the wide angle is a big big loss.
next is the lack of face unlock with mask another big loss.

i cannot bring myself to buy it. regardless of price. if i have to save i'd rather get the iphone SE.

Duly noted. Also it is slightly more future proof, I guess.
And in simple terms, the difference between the 12 and 12 mini is just the screen and battery size, right? Camera and other functionalities are the same, right?
*
yes.

I know lah.

Put on display in a glass shelf, with the box mostly opened. Most probably displayed together with other brand's phone. Had clearance tag.

It's just whether the sales advisor kind enough to tell you when you ask.

Else, no reason to sell RM400 cheaper than their own online pricing.

You will surely know when you check your warranty validity

The warranty is by cover by senheng only?
Need to check what they actually cover.
last month I went to order 13mini, I haven't even pay yet but already up sell me with apple care.
Just like insurance, 0 cost 100 profit lol.
*
dont la say insurance 0 cost....even though i dont work in any insurance industry.
When you need to claim or sh!t happens you will be damn glad to have it.

Its great for those who like to live dangerously like no casing, etc.

I checked 2 units at 2 different SenQ d.

Both are activated.

But there’s no warranty info at General - About.

At the back of the box got small sticker “Demo - Not For Sale”.
*
In this case at least you can argue with apple to warranty based on your receipt but I think if major issue they may likely show you their activation date as a proof that the warranty will End from that day + 1 year…

Hello, IP 12 users, any comment on the battery life, is it okay?
*
About the same as normal, around 4.5 hours screen time if I use whole day (+12hrs standby time), and about 6-6.5 hours if I use heavily (no standby time).

Bear in mind I use it more and more as time went by since I got it because I rely on Find My tracking for AirTags, more apps along the way, and Spotify stream 30mins moe compared to when I just bought it a year ago.

My battery health is now 93%

feels the iphone 12 is abit smallish for me now. Might plan to swap it with the 11 pro max. Same used price range.
Yay or nay?
*
nay nay nay. No face unlock with mask.

I'd look for a 12 pro max for size hehe.

i have an apple watch. so this point is negligible. haha.
Looking for same (used) price range bro. 12 pro max over budget for now.

Any other nay points?
*
oh, then in that case should be fine.

My friend's IP11 PM has some issues with wireless carplay whereby GPS location is way off and not updating, I think that's pretty much all I can think off.

Could be a one off or setting issue.

hi all, i would like to ask if anyone of you notice the signal for iPhone at times are quite weak where it will only
show 1 bar 4G signal. I notice this quite frequently especially on high floors or while driving the signal will just drop to 1 bar 4G. Tested with two different telcos are the same behavior. I dont notice this in my another android phone which is full 4G side by side. Just wondering is it normal?
*
Won’t be surprising. It is not the champion of cellular signal, somewhere in the middle of the pack is what I’d say it is.
The last true champion was huawei back in the days.
