Don’t need to wait, Machines’ sale price is still on going. Not as dirt cheap as 1st April Shopee sale but close enough especially if you’re planning to go instalment.

In lazada or shoppe or physical store?
If my friend let me use his plan to sign i12, is it a good deal?

I checked Machine’s web page, so I assume retail physical store should have similar offer.

Plan you mean he’s taking contract and you buy the phone? Don’t see why he’s doing so as he’s on the losing end, but typically, a RM100-130 monthly telco bill for 2 years contract will bet you a discount of bout RM1k.

He is using Maxis 98+ Home Fiber + 1 sub line.
I might using his phone by pay lump sum amount (around 2.8k according Maxis website.)
The telco charges did not change at all.

Tonight on Lazada 5.5 promo, the iPhone 12 128gb is priced at RM3,719. Pretty good deal I think. Currently I'm pondering between getting this or iPhone 11 128gb that's also having price cut of RM2,899 on 5.5.

Does the additional RM800 justify the better screen, 5G and faster processor? hahaha
*
Better screen already worth the price.

Thats somewhat true...
You sold off 3.3k is 128gb version? That's quite a good deal for the buyer if you ask me haha. I wonder why the price of iPhone 12 did not hold up well, not sure if I saw this kind of long period discount before with the iPhone lineup.

I agree with what you said. I like the boxy design actually, and would appreciate the lighter weight of iPhone 12. In terms of value, the iPhone 11 seems to be the one to go for. I guess theres still time to decide until midnight tonight hahaha.
*
I did consider ip12 mini as well. Screen is fine for me as from 4.7 to 5.4 nothing can complaint... However the battery size is big no for me...
Reason price of I12 not good as old version because it lack of accessories and 5G haven't officially come in yet. Once 5G official, price like hot cake again as this is the 1st batch iphone that has 5G and price will be stable by that time.

Haha, if you wanted to get the 12 you should have gotten the 128GB for 3719 at midnight last night which is a steal.

So I'm guessing you didn't pull the trigger and will wait for the next offer?
*
haha..4-5 months for new iphone...alot people maybe will choose to wait? tongue.gif

I'm late to the boat. last time using 12 pro max very huge and chunky. Not nice in my hand. Been thinking and searching for awhile until few days ago got this mini at great price.

Now I ditch Poco F3 for this Mini as my main driver. Really ios shine when you can use it in one hand.

Dont think like this...else u no need buy phone already tongue.gif

haha. well better late than never right? been keep eye on mini for long time already but not willing to pay 3k-ish for it as my old iphone se 2016 still running well. as for now I can get 10 unit of iphone se 2016 for an iPhone 12 mini. haha.
you can, but probably you need a powerbank standby by your side all the time. as for my usage unplug at 8am need to charge at 2pm up to 80% (optimized charging turned on). my usage similar to you as I'm not gaming on my mini.
yes, mini is better than se 2020. but for me se 2020 was also a very good already.

1st I think I will purchase Mini as well.. but concern about the battery degradation...end up i go for 12 normal..

wanted to know in real life as i read some news regarding the upcoming 13 with a larger battery to compensate for ' dismal battery life of the 12 ' surfaced recently. must be some sensationalist fake news to hype up the 13. biggrin.gif

Not really..once they found out the way to put bigger battery they will do it..

Anyone is still using 12 mini? You guys are still happy with it? I was planning to join in soon. What are your thoughts. I don't think battery is really that much of an issue since can just bought MagSafe powerbank from 3rd party
*
I do consider ip12 mini before.. i think the same like you why bother if have powerbank? But the turth is small battery degradation faster than bigger battery.. second is heat issue.. end up i go for ip12...

I totally expected to go for official battery change 2 year down the line of my 12mini ownership.

I done it with IP5s and IP8 before, quite cost effective way to extend your device's long term usage.

Though since IPXs, Apple totally locked 3rd party battery out of their ecosystem, thus must went back to official Apple partners for repair. I estimate perhaps RM250 for it. Just checked, it's RM280+100 for labor. Price kind of too steep to me. Hopefully by the time my device aged beyond acceptance the price would have dropped. Or I will have to take chance with non-authorised 3rd party battery...

Yes.. expected but the battery no good as the 1 comes with the phone.. i previously owns a Ip7.. after a wonderful 2 years drop to 81% and i went for battery change in Switch.. pay 180 for that but after just 1 yeat and 1 month it drops to 85% sad.gif i am a normal user not those hardcore user..
