Actually the 12 seems to be like a good balance between size and price now, for those who don't need the telephoto lens. It's a big upgrade over the 11 in terms of the display quality and it's also more compact than the 11. Definitely a good choice!

Assume you are eyeing the Blue colour then

Ya, those who are on a tighter budget may consider the 12 Mini instead of the 11 for RM500 more.

Will the extra 2gb make big difference?

OLED / A14 (better modem)= yes
5G = maybe 2021 / 2022

RM1000 still a huge gap if 2021 IP may has small notch (or notchless design) and USB-C  but it's another topic all together...

How to know which country are in the first batch?

Me too..

5 --> 6S --> X -->12 Pro Max

well iphone mini is definitely smaller than the ip7 plus lol, pretty similar to ip7 in body size

Icic. Thought ios is less memory heavy like Android.

Yeah, that’s why previously a number of folks recommended that we just use the iPad 12W charger for the right balance between price and charging times, but now that Apple’s 20W charger costs just RM10 more than the 12W one, it’s a no brainer

I think ip12pro is better buy because of 6gb of ram compare to 4gb on ip12. More ram equal to much longer support for ios. Plus its only 800 bucks more from the ip12 (128gb ver). Classic case with 6 vs 6s, later model until now still support ios14 because of an extra ram it got. If you buy with your telco, ip12pro is a no brainer choice.

The extra ram is not user accessible la, it is reserved for camera to process image, this tradition starting from iphone 7 and 7+.

Btw, i dont think apple will selectively to support their products. For example support iphone 8 plus but retire iphone 8? I think they will retire the whole generation

- lidar
- third telephoto camera
- ProRAW for the photo
- nicer stainless steel material
- 128GB base storage
- 6GB RAM vs 4GB
- on apple's website, 12 pro has typical max brightness at 800nits (1200nits max) vs 12's 625 nits (1200nits max), because 12(LG) oled display is from different manufacturer than 12
pro(Samsung)
- 12 pro is 25 grams heavier
- 12 don't have night mode portrait
- 12 dolby vision video recording limited to 30fps vs 12 pro's 60 (normal video recording mode for 12 still have 60fps for 4K)

with same storage 128GB, the price difference is rm800

looks like 12 have some features artificially restricted...

yeah apple is sneaky, trying to bump up the average revenue per iphone in sales. 12 pro max has sensor stabilization, 2.5x zoom telephoto and bigger display for rm400 difference...

That is my main concern between iphone 12 and 12 pro, with 6gb i think the background can run much smoother.

My 7 plus with 3gb ram can feel the lagness when too much of background task running, 6gb ram i think can last u easily 3-4 years down the road.

that 64GB mini enough kah?

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

hopefully big cities get 5G earlier than 2022.

My concern for the Mini is the battery life, haha. Luckily we'll get some reviews before the phone reaches Malaysia
