The Mini would be a nice fone to get for flying my DJI Mavic drone.
Using the 11 Pro Max now...it barely fits within the claws of the DJI controller.

I wish Touch ID makes a comeback. With how masks are almost compulsory these days, Face ID becomes a hinder when you have to type your passcode every time you need to unlock

Yeah hopefully.

Am hoping they'll incorporate Touch ID into the power button ala iPad Air 2020 in this age of Covid and masks laugh.gif

5.4-inch with a slightly smaller body than iPhone 8/SE 2. Hence the word ‘mini’.

OLED screens yes for all iPhones this year.

Touch ID unfortunately no, it won’t happen. The design and specs for this year’s iPhones would have been finalized a year ago, way before the pandemic strikes. So Face ID and the notch is here to stay for now.

But since they had it on the new iPad Air maybe there is a possibility it could be included in the last minute which might explain the one month delay smile.gif

if they really make it true, this year iphone sure will be a hot sell. becos a lot of existing users on iphone X and newer which uses face ID will be willing to change to this year iphone. tongue.gif

Regardless I think the new iPhones will sell, especially if they have four variants and there is one that fits every price bracket thumbup.gif

Correct. Like I said the iphone 12 this year is more worth it to get than iphone 11 last year now. Becos it is a still considered as a revolutionary iPhone since it has redesign and 5G and OLED. This makes a big big deal.

this is exactly super normal to be frank.

lion city has not getting any new iphones for first two waves at least. if this year iphones will be a strong sale like iphone 6/6 plus time, the delay will even be longer. I would expect it to be sold in bolehland starting as early as Dec 2020 at most.

so far bolehland only has the iPhone SE 2 for sell as the same period as other countries if not wrong.

But the case design doesn't seem to have cut out for side Touch ID?

Missed opportunity.. I thought the 12 would be priced the same as the 11 and the 12 mini would be cheaper, but the 12 Mini is same price as the 11 previously and the 12 costs slightly more. Oh well....

OLED display and not the pathetic 720p resolution display. Plus 5G... all these will cause the price to be higher. haha.

i think the 12 pricing bit higher due to use of OLED vs LCD
Pro / Pro Max slightly cheaper by RM200 could be remove charge/earpod
the 128GB remain same price since is double capacity

Hey all, quick 3 questions for iPhone 12 mini which I’m interested in getting:

1) I can accept not having earpods but there’s no adapter at all! How do I charge my phone with that cable (USB-C) given? Can I use back the norma cable & adapter of my iphone 7? If not, which apple adapter should we buy that will specifically suit the iPhone 12 mini and its included cable?

2) Is the trade-in program only available for US? When I tried using the US site there’s an option to trade in iPhone 7 for $100, but such option not shown in Apple MY.


3) Is 128gb or 256gb better for this model? I had an extremely bad storage experience with my 32gb iPhone 7. I’m assuming a cam & iOS with higher specs/greater ver will eat up much more spaces. Is 256gb worth it?


Thanks in advance!

this year iphone 12/12 mini has OLED already. so display is no longer a selling point for pro. so they need to make the gap closer for people to go for pro. haha.

1) can charge but the cable comes with iphone 12 support fast charge PD, provided you have PD charger adapter which no longer include (last year iphone 11 include charger adapter is not support fast charge, just normal 5V1A brick laugh.gif)

2) never have such option for Malaysia

3) is up to you if 128GB (3-4x 32GB), depends on you take a lot of photo/video or not

no. u need to buy a usb-c charger with usb-c connector to use the cable given.

certainly 256gb, forget about 128gb even. the camera for iphones are much better now. more storage will be required. dun cheap out on storage.

To me, it's not that big a deal coz I've not used the original accessories that comes with every iPhone I've owned since the iPhone 5 as I've always used my iPad charger. When I sell off my iPhones, the accessories are almost always unused (except maybe the cable which I might use during emergency).

1) Yes, you can charge it with your iPhone 7 charger and cable, just that it'll take much longer.

2) Our local retailers do have their own trade in program but bear in mind they are just authorized resellers, so their offer won't be as good as what is offered by Apple themselves.

3) Depending on how long you intend to keep the phone. if it's 3 years or more, I'd say go for the 256GB. Alternatively, you could subscribe to a larger iCloud storage option and get the 128GB one, which is what I plan to do.

For the charger u can always go for branded third party one, could be cheaper. As for 5g, now it's too early, almost everyone here will upgrade yearly or every 2 years. So I pretty much guarantee by the time 5g official arrive here, u all will already change phone. laugh.gif

if comparing 128GB, the different is rm 800.

i guess if buying with cash, iphone 12.
if go with telco or installment, better take the pro.

For the charger u can always go for branded third party one, could be cheaper. As for 5g, now it's too early, almost everyone here will upgrade yearly or every 2 years. So I pretty much guarantee by the time 5g official arrive here, u all will already change phone. laugh.gif

Right, so if you have a 11 series, can skip this upgrade and wait for next year.

IP11 (LCD) going for Rm2899 quite good buy since we have zero 5G usage for the time being.

if comparing 128GB, the different is rm 800.

i guess if buying with cash, iphone 12.
if go with telco or installment, better take the pro.

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 laugh.gif but it's another topic all together...

Can you advise which product here is suitable in charging up iPhone 12 Mini?

Haha, yeah, paying more for 5G shouldn't be a consideration now, unless one plans to use the phone for 5 years then definitely worth paying RM1k over the iPhone 11

1) can charge but the cable comes with iphone 12 support fast charge PD, provided you have PD charger adapter which no longer include (last year iphone 11 include charger adapter is not support fast charge, just normal 5V1A brick laugh.gif)

Thanks for the valuable insight!
How can we get this "PD charger adapter"?
And if I don't care about fast charge PD, what are the alternative? I can be satisfied if it can charge just 10-20% faster than my current iPhone 7.

to me is not mature, i believe Malaysia telco not deploying mmWave 5G, all are just sub-6Ghz, which it actually doesnt seems much speed different compare to LTE in real life, most telco showing ideal condition where the 5G node beside the tested phone device when running speed test, latency probably something worth noticing than speed for sub-6Ghz 5G

Not entirely impossible I would say.

Apple known to offset their increased efficiency in chipset with a reduction in battery capacity.

To me, it's not that big a deal coz I've not used the original accessories that comes with every iPhone I've owned since the iPhone 5 as I've always used my iPad charger. When I sell off my iPhones, the accessories are almost always unused (except maybe the cable which I might use during emergency).

really tempted by the iPhone 12 mini

all comes down to hands on experience

if its screen estate is really smol, then the regular 12 is the better option. both devices are segmented into an obvious way.

you want a smol powerful phone for social and connectivity? get the mini

however if you do everything inside a phone like how you operator a normal laptop, regular 12 would be the better option

and i dont see the need of Pro. nobody should go for Pro. unless they want to take advantage of that camera, in way they execute it better than Xperia 1ii. that's marketing for you

Now I want a small form factor, so Im going for the mini. Can the sifus here advise whats the best way to get the phone? I like the blue, so i'll need to pre-order or something. Get it online or from people like Machines?

After much pondering, decide to go for 12 over 12 Pro. I don't use telephoto on my X, like at all so the camera upgrade not that huge for me. Design wise both 12 and 12 Pro are good. I suppose I go for 12 one...then save up for the next big change.

Magsafe case and the wallet are very interesting though. More money to be spent lol.

seriously the price gap between 12 vs 12 pro/12 pro max are not significantly big. need to note that 12 starts at 64gb while 12 pro/12 pro max starts at 128gb also.

iPhone 12 128gb - rm4099
iPhone 12 Pro 128GB - rm4899
iPhone 12 Pro 128GB - rm5299

this is much like iPad Air 4 vs iPad Pro 11-inch now. add a bit more can go for pro model.

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 laugh.gif

I just found out an interesting fact.

iPhone mini is as big as iPhone 7 Plus! 😂
Just merely 0.1” different in term of screen size

unlikely, if u know apple's style well. they dun refresh the design nowadays until 3 years later.

6/6P -> X -> 12

likely this 12 design will be here for few more years before it gets redesigned again.

i have been changing iphones always when there is a redesign.

6P -> X -> 12 Pro Max. haha.

iOS is less memory intensive for sure. but more memory will make it even last longer.

good example will be iPhone 6/6P vs iPhone 6s/6sP.

although it is just one year difference.

iPhone 6/6P has one iOS lesser than iPhone 6s/6sP since the launch date.
iPhone 6/6P stops at iOS 12 while iPhone 6s/6P now still support iOS 14.

the deal breaker is the RAM in them. Former has only 1GB RAM while later has 2GB.

Cant wait to get ip12 mini. Upgrading from ip6s. I’ve waited long for apple to release smaller/compact phone. We have yet to know the release or pre-order date right?

I want to ask about the charger since it is not being included. I have a 29w usb-c power adaptor for 2016 12” macbook. Can this be use to charge ip12?

What is the market price for USB C wall charger? Quick search at lazada seems to indicate 70+/- range? Like that apple one at RM99 seems to be quite a good deal.

Lion city is like Apple’s golden son. Have been getting iPhone on the 1st wave since iPhone 4S especially when supply was most limited. Bolehland is like an unwanted stepchild haha.

Anyway, now Malaysia availability is one week after US released does not in any way means we have been favored. 2nd wave is pretty much the rest of the world. Just thank god we are not in the pariah list.

really tempted by the iPhone 12 mini

all comes down to hands on experience

if its screen estate is really smol, then the regular 12 is the better option. both devices are segmented into an obvious way.

you want a smol powerful phone for social and connectivity? get the mini

however if you do everything inside a phone like how you operator a normal laptop, regular 12 would be the better option

and i dont see the need of Pro. nobody should go for Pro. unless they want to take advantage of that camera, in way they execute it better than Xperia 1ii. that's marketing for you
*
I’ve got an 11. Considering the 12 mini due to hands on experience like you.

I’m looking for a better one hand experience, supplemented by an iPad 10.2 for reading and media usage at home.

Considering the 12 mini screen isn’t that much smaller than a 7 plus I think it’s not “small”. But will need to check it out in person.

My only concern is battery, as 5G is irrelevant. 4G can hit 90 down 50 up for me, but problem is coverage is bad and spotty. I rather have consistent 4G than spotty 5G. Malaysia telcos quite crap.

tell you something, you may had noticed it too...so rephrasing

5g is purely Apple marketing strategy.
i mean, why not aren't you leveraging on that?
how else they're gonna convince the masses, 5g is the future of tech.

not folding phones, not 120hz screen. not near edge-to-edge display.
those things sure, tech advancement. but compared to 5g. they doesn't bring enough hook to it. normies don't absorb their fundamentals quickly.
at Apple, timing of execution is everything

i have with me the iPhone 7, should be same in width. but tad shorter on its height form, althou gained increase in real screen estate. more room to display and see content.

battery on the 12 mini will always be the elephant in the room. it may not be as great as iphone 11 or 11 pro.
but at least if its able to perform better than iPhone SE 2 battery life from longevity perspective.
probably will be 'fine' already, putting it fine because iPhone is a champ when it comes to standby battery time

btw did anyone also get caught how low-key Apple execute their modularity concept like really smooth compared to other phone maker company?
look at any angle if you want. but magsafe with accessories screams modular enough to me.

no wrong... even you try with charger adaptor 60W also max 20W, the device itself should only draw 20W max, you have 200W charger still 20W the device will draw, so it is up to 50% charge in 30 minutes, no mater how many watts charge you use, anything above 20W, same 30minutes to 50%

but i doubts Apple change it to max 20W, i believe it is still 18W max, just they are selling 20W charger now... because if like previous gen 18W compare to 20W, to 50% could takes lesser than 30 minutes

anything have to wait someone get iPhone 12 on hand and try out smile.gif

i think someone did a test before, maximum benefit is up to 30-40W at best. but the returns are sibeh low for the cost youre paying la

the results are like below for full charge from 0-100% if i recall correctly when charging iphone

5W - takes 3hrs, 1 1/2hr to 50%
12W - takes close to 2hrs, 1hr to 50%
18-20W - takes 1 1/2hr, 30min to 50%
30W - takes 1hr 20min, 30min to 50%
96W - takes 1hr 20min, 30min to 50%

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

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 smile.gif

yeah. agree. more RAM sure will improve the performance on daily basis or even prolong the iOS support.

good example will be iphone 6 vs 6s.
6 stops at ios 12 while 6s now still supports ios 14. the RAM difference (1GB vs 2GB) is the key to this.

it is possible they only retire iphone 8 vs 8 plus due to RAM difference.
(still got sometime before coming to this to confirm).

RAM does make a difference to users. How often the app refresh or close before reload on iPhones also rely on the amount of RAM.

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 smile.gif

apple is too sneaky this year...
the 64GB base storage for 12 series, I also not sure if 12 mini will be enough size for me. If 6.1" pula too close to the 12 pro in price, then again 12 pro 6.1" loses out on sensor stabilization and the 2.5x telephoto zoom... bangwall.gif

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?

Apple themselves that said should get charger from third party like anker and etc in the name of environment friendly. Just like power bank and type C cables, best get the one certified and not the cheapo ones you find in shopee or Mr.DIY

Or like you said, paid extra to Apple for the charger for peace of mind

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.

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 smile.gif

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.

At first (during the launch), I wondering what and how is Dolby Atmos...
Searched few clips on the net, this will be good if capturing videos, during live event, (Disneyland)parade, rides etc.
This will add more fun and spark during video editing.

So, compare to IP11 stereo sound recording, 12Prod should be a GO for me

Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision is different thing.. Dolby Atmos is audio and Dolby Vision is video.

iPhone XS/XR/11/12 Series is able to take in Dolby Atmos audio format and playback using Dolby Digital Plus format, sos: Link

New thing to iPhone 12 Series is being able to record HDR videos in Dolby Vision (aka proprietary HDR format by Dolby), up to 4K 30fps for 12 and Mini, 4K 60fps for 12 Pro and Pro Max. Just hope the correct information is out there.

EDIT: the link I posted above is for playback, not recording(eg. all iPhone model since iPhone X is able to playback Dolby Vision HDR format).

Not Dolby Atmos but Dolby Vision. More towards the video quality and not much audio.

Dolby Atmos on a phone is a joke and a stupid marketing gimmick. There is no way in hell you can get Atmos effect from a bloody phone speaker.

Dolby Vision is more plausible, though I'd be hard press to find anyone noticing the difference on a small screen.
Video recording DV however is anther story. Might make a bit of difference during playback on a DV enabled TV, but again recording done on a small sensor camera phone, don't expect a big difference either...

rm800 for the extra ram of 6GB maybe a consideration for some to go for pro instead.

but personally i will go with 12 pro max which it will totally worth it than 12 pro given the price difference is not significant.

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...

yes, it is totally a marketing strategy.

the existence of iphone pro 12 is for majority to go with iphone 12 becos it will make the price attractive and make a easier choice for people to buy it. while for people who have the budget for iphone 12 pro will think that by spending a little bit they can get iphone 12 pro max at much more values.

those who really will go for iphone 12 pro are those without budget constraint but really want a best iphone at the size becos they find the pro max too big. tongue.gif

much like their pricing structure for ipad air 4 vs ipad pro now.

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.

it is, i remember last time LG released a speaker bar for TV and markets it with Dolby Atmos "surround". but the speakers are all coming from a single speaker bar. how is that surround? proper surround sound multiple speakers setup be like

anyway as for the screen wise, it mostly matters to the ones who uses it that way. i know lots of peeps would enjoy the dynamic contrast of apple's new HDR10 screens since they watch alot content on them

for us who uses phones for err.. instant messaging mostly then its moot lol, even LCD works

It’s possible if the soundbar has upfiring speakers, but it will never give the same realistic sound from ceiling speakers. But Samsung’s Atmos soundbar has really come a long way, does Atmos very well for a soundbar.
Sony’s soundbar uses digital sound processing to simulate Atmos, still no where as close to even upfiring speakers soundbar. For Apple to simulate Atmos on their mini HomePod speaker they will need to pray to God to defy physics...

but if you those kind that keeps and stores everything locally on phone instead of cloud then its def not enough. im usually running 49GB/64GB free on my XR even with 9GB songs, 5GB pics/vids

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.

but if you those kind that keeps and stores everything locally on phone instead of cloud then its def not enough. im usually running 49GB/64GB free on my XR even with 9GB songs, 5GB pics/vids
ikr? sighs we cant trust certifications anymore

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.

I'm currently on 64GB. I don't have that discipline to transfer photos and videos. sad.gif

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. laugh.gif

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.

i think it depends on individual's usage.
I never utilised my storage more than 30gb, all photos and videos and synced to google photos.
And I don't play mobile games so 64gb is pretty much sufficient for me though.

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. smile.gif

if you're using icloud for storing your photo, 64gb is enough
because 20GB photo in icloud and your phone is just only keep the lower resolution type until u go to view it.
Ur phone will auto load from icloud full resolution on the fly.

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 laugh.gif

I not so sure on that, for me price is really a concern. To spend >rm3000 is quite insane.

I think the SE 2020 or iPhone 11 or below will still be the best seller in this region.

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 laugh.gif

Normally they won't do that as they already have allocated the units to each country, but the number of units may be limited and the stock refresh might take longer, hahaha.

I'm using Celcom EasyPhone plan (XS) and my contract will be over soon so I can switch soon.

Might go for 12 instead of the Pro because despite the many features included, the price difference is another issue.

Hahaha, same. I actually queued in Gardens for maxis but after 4 or 5 hours still can't get my queue number to move, so I gave up and went to DiGi store and ported over instead. Would soon regret that, hahaha...

Guys, SIRIM removed iPhone 12 from the recent approval list. I wonder why.

Is there any difference between the bezel thickness of 12 vs 12 pro?

Had X, then skipped XS because it was literally same phone, then early this year upgraded to 11, after few months with 11 i decided that 11 pro should be better, since size matters for me. Got 11 pro and you know, not getting 12 for sure.

Im actually apple fanboy and havent any android for years but i have to say im staying with my 11 pro for one more year. Besides camera there is nothing new.

5G in my country will be probably next year...


Okey, design, but since im a case lover its also not so important.

Little bit disappointed.

I agree if you have X. Because year ago i was actually thinking that iphone 12 will come and i will get it since X will be 3 years old, great time to get new one. But since i run trough tree phones in one year and using 11pro atm there is not much you gain.

Even Verge said if you need phone you go for it, if you have already latest model its kinda pointless.

Yup, there's very little reason to upgrade from the 11 Pro to the 12 or 12;Pro save for the new design and incremental improvements in the camera.

Yerp, it's gone from their database. It's approved but they made a mistake on their expiry date Jan 2021. Hahah you can't be having a device that was approved on october 2020 and expiry on 2021.

So I am still strongly predicting pre order by this week friday but again, taking CMCO into consideration all WFH...so yeah...that might delay if Apple malaysia lazy haha

I like the chart, it reflects the real prices of the SIM free phones in the US with taxes - it's never just $699 or $799 but a lot of folks don't realize that and thinks it's really that much cheaper in the US - it's still cheaper, but not by much.

Yes, with taxes and exchange rate fluctuation, it really not a big differences. If want compare with 699 or 799, use our telco subsidized price to compare too. cool2.gif

Still no news on SIRIM approval.

Anyway, just watched MKBHD's video on his iPhone 12 and the MagSafe accessories review.

Those planning to get the wallet, be careful because it slips off easily.

Unless you plan to keep the phone for at least 3 years, there's no point considering 5G at the moment. Anyways, no, iPhones don't come with international warranty.

US sim free can be use in Malaysia, but in a country where even 4G give us headache, the 5G capability really doesn't shine here, yet. Plus warranty could be an issue as well according to past history.

I'm currently using iPhone 7 32GB on IOS 14. This coming November the phone will be 4 years.

Not sure if I should change to iPhone 12 or not.

Of course there's lots of advantage, like bigger screen, better battery life, latest techs but I can still answer calls and reply to Whatsapp without lag even after all these years.

Not sure putting RM4099 for phone + RM100 for charger and another RM100~200 for tempered glass and case would justify during this pandemic situation.

Heart says want, but brain says not rational. Sigh.

Normally keep 2 years only. Just until telco contracts completed.
No warranty is risky for me.

If you still have available storage and the phone is still good, you can probably defer your purchase to next year. Another benefit of keeping the 7 is having Touch ID now is definitely more useful than Face ID biggrin.gif

Thanks man. Yeah I should just probably change the phone’s battery then.

Hopefully the next iphone has a touch ID at the power button, like the new iPad Air.

Ya, was kinda hoping the 12 had the iPad Air 2020 Touch ID power button too. Anyways, I suspect next year's iPhones will come with bigger batteries and higher refresh rate displays so it's definitely worth waiting.

Ya, same for me. So 5G shouldn't be a consideration if you're planning to keep the phone for just two years or so.

Maybe switch/machines would have the 11 pro clearance stocks later. With charger & earpod included 😍

Ya, a lot of reviews concluded that might as well get the 12 over the 12 Pro to save few hundreds if you don't need the slightly better camera performance.

Already a number of units being cleared online with discounts from RM500-RM700, but I suspect stocks are limited. iPhone 11 (non Pro) even harder to get old stocks now.

I'm currently using iPhone 7 32GB on IOS 14. This coming November the phone will be 4 years.

Not sure if I should change to iPhone 12 or not.

Of course there's lots of advantage, like bigger screen, better battery life, latest techs but I can still answer calls and reply to Whatsapp without lag even after all these years.

Not sure putting RM4099 for phone + RM100 for charger and another RM100~200 for tempered glass and case would justify during this pandemic situation.

Heart says want, but brain says not rational. Sigh.

certainly. it is a significant approvement. and it is an approvement that is visible on day-to-day basis as one is looking at the display all the time. haha. tongue.gif

the thinner bezel of the new iphone 12 design, lighter and thinner body, also make a big deal. biggrin.gif
of course the redesign that resemble iphone 4 as well.

iphone 7 should still be ok for another 2 to 3 more years for your mom basis usage.

if you can get a iphone X at cheaper price will be even better. the redesign will make the phone looks not so outdated for the next few years. and it can be used longer. i managed to get one refurbished iphone x 256gb at rm1850 for my dad which is quite ok deal.

The 12 Pro colours are nice because the back is stainless steel and glossy whereas the 12 is aluminium and matte so some colours look cheap.

Might go for white with my case or red if it's not too bad. Looks like blue may no longer be an option.

Hi everyone, do you think I can trust this type of pre-order online: https://shopee.com.my/APPLE-IPhone-12-Mini-...0405.6757486769


Seems very convincing cause there's 100% authentic guarantee from Shopee. It has other free gifts unlike buying directly from the official Apple site. Plus you don't have to "fight" for it on the official release date in Malaysia (which we don't know when as of now).

What do you guys think?

5G built wrong? iPhone 12 battery tests raise questions for mini, Max
Seeing that the new iPhone 12 has lower battery capacity than its predecessor and with 5G built in, this report is giving me some concerns.

Absolutely expected. I remember the X and XS Max having very average battery life but the 11 Pro Max was absolutely stellar. Since 5G is no where near ready here, battery life may be slightly better than these reviews make it out to be but because numbers don't lie, I truly expect mediocre, iPhone X and.XS Max level of battery performance.

The internals of the 12 and 12 Pro are almost identical

Worth the RM800 extra for the stainless steel frame, telephoto cam, LiDAR scanner and extra 2GB RAM?

Seriously every year I always have doubts against the taste of the iPhone designers who pick the colours for iPhones.

Every year the tones of colour they chose the colour are not really that nice. Most importantly, even same series of iPhones like this year or last year iphone 12 and iphone 11. Although they have a lot of colours, but the tones of colours are always not consistent. Like this year red is brighter red, blue is dark blue, green is pale. All do not have a consistent standard choice of the colour scheme.

Same goes to the iPhone 12 pro too.

After deliberate consideration, I'll go for the white iPhone 12, despite the fascinating features on the Pro, I won't be using half of them.

the side of iphone 12 blue colour actually looks nice. especially the constrast of the orange colour at the button vs the blue colour.

the matte finish of the side actually looks very nice.

No la, "I don't want an iPhone" represents 23% of the total vote but the 12 Pro Max, 12 Pro, 12 and 12 Mini combined makes up about 66%

Besides, I find GSMArena readers more biased towards Samsung and Xiaomi, hahaha...

No la, "I don't want an iPhone" represents 23% of the total vote but the 12 Pro Max, 12 Pro, 12 and 12 Mini combined makes up about 66%

Besides, I find GSMArena readers more biased towards Samsung and Xiaomi, hahaha...

Hmm, ok.

Basically a lot of websites are against Apple because they're blindsided by Samsung who's also selling overpriced phones.

To be fair some phones don't come with earphones at all, like for example the OnePlus, so that's one area they can't go at Apple laugh.gif

So the paint will chip easily with normal use. I don't see any mishandling from customers as there is no evidence of scrapes and dents. This isn't the case with the 11 Pro where paint in demo units looks fine.

Now a transparent case is needed to showcase the beauty of the phone. whistling.gif

Initially thought can use it naked on 12 Mini.

I always wanted to use it as naked, and likewise, scare being clumsy. Haha. Maybe go wrap a transparent protector is a good idea.

Yes, normal case would be arrange a diagnosis session with Apple through live chat, they will show you your nearest authorised repair centre, such as Switch.
