Saw the 12 mini blue color. Erm, not to my liking. I would like to see the green color but they don’t have on display.

Overall, I love the size of the mini. Easily fit in one hand. More suited for secondary phone though.

Some folks said the blue makes it looks like a toy, is that what you feel?

Yes, that would be an apt description.

I got a shock as prior to that I was so admiring the pacific blue color. Flip the back of the mini and saw the plastic blue color. Hmmm.

Are u getting the mini?

Most reviewers agree the 12 is a better buy than the 12 Pro in countries where the difference in pricing is substantial - like our country biggrin.gif
I'm definitely getting the Pro Max tomorrow. On the fence about the 12 or 12 Mini at the moment. Plan to see the actual phone first before deciding.

Sounds like a good plan. Let me know your feedback on the phones.

Just tried the Mini in person, it really is small. Will struggle to read text on it, hahaha...

Yeah, may not be good to stare long time on the screen.

Do you guys feel like the back of the phone can get fingerprints easily?
*
due to the plasticky back. Saw some fingerprints on the display set.

Hahaha, that’s over RM400 (or rather close to 500) in cases right there smile.gif
Yup, after extensively trying the demo sets for the 12 and 12 Mini decided to go with the 12 instead smile.gif

Have you bought? As much as I like the mini, I think the 12 would be my choice too.

Btw, what’s the popular colors for the iPhone 12 series? Spoken to Mac city sales person and he said they sold the black color more.

Mine is a black one. Love the matte sides of the black actually.

I like the color on the back part. Quite striking and looks classy.

Hi hi! Yes I did buy the 12 after passing the 12 Pro Max to my wife. I also liked the idea of having a small phone like the Mini but after trying both demo units extensively I decided that the 12 was more practical in terms of the screen size (especially for typing) and battery life smile.gif

I bought {Product} Red. Was certain I was gonna get blue when I watch the launch event but after seeing the colours in person (red, blue and black), i decided the red one was the most striking - besides, a portion of all sales of the red one goes towards charity so that’s good too smile.gif I guess black is a classic and the safest choice hence more folks went that route. Haven’t seen the white and green phones in person yet though...
*
Thinking if I want to upgrade from iPhone 11 (my other phone). And yes, the red and black are the colors I’m eyeing most. I haven’t seen the white or green also.

On a side note, Apple just shipped my 12 pro max. It’s way earlier than the dec 29th expected delivery date. Lucky I got my sp and case ready.

Black would have been my second choice too, I love the black aluminium frames!
My budget for cases used to be 100 then I upped it to 150. Trying not to be tempted by you guys on the Apple Leather case then I would break my budget already, hahaha...
The 12 is definitely a substantial upgrade over the 11 - just the display itself is worth the price smile.gif However the battery life is slightly under that of the 11 based on my usage. Haven’t tried out the camera yet though. Congrats on the 12 Pro Max! Did you get blue or graphite? smile.gif

Don’t poison me. It’s so tempting that I may just go splurge. Let me check out the display. I didn’t follow much on the improvements though.

Thanks. Got the pacific blue as it’s a new color and looks nice. Should be getting mid of next week.
