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.

Ugreen, around RM25

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

Haha, not too long until we see them at display.

When can we do so?

Want to see the green or white. After checking YouTube videos, seems these 2 colors looks 'better' in comparison with other colors.

Maybe? Everything is hidden until Friday.

The store was fairly occupied with people buying iPad Air and Apple Watch though.

Eh, what about CMCO?
Friday will go shop and see which color is nice. Seems most lyn members chose blue. White iPhone is my go to last time and always more expensive too than black for example..

Yes but not majority Malaysians bought the blue color though. Every other color can’t preorder anymore on Apple Lazada store buy both the blue mini and the 12 still available for preorder. Unless of course they stock more blues to cater for the demand lol.
*
That's lazada. I see others here still order from physical store like machines, switch.

What is your chosen color?

I didn’t preorder the phone though I’m leaning towards green now. Maybe I’ll buy an ip12 next year.

You won't be tempted for iphone 13 if they removed the notch?

Nah probably not. If I was younger maybe but at my current age I don’t really care. I care more about the thickness of my wallet or the number in my bank account containing more digits lol.

You're right, you know. For me, I've used high end & mid range android and also iPhone. So, I know what to expect from apple camp

QUOTE(attw @ Nov 12 2020, 10:12 AM)
Don't foresee the notch going away anytime soon laugh.gif
Haha, no need iPhone la, any phone also can survive at home one..
*
What??? Nooo..
Anyway, I think I saw in YouTube, watching Netflix , the video will crop without including the notch?

Yup, the notch doesn't get into your pics or videos
This one seems to be popular

Or if you want cheaper

No la, not keen on the Magsafe accessories

Thanks for clarifying.

I'm used to touch ID on my phone and laptop.

Only face id which is useless with face mask now.

Bummer really, need to enter pin code to unlock phone.

Bought the uag civillian case and a Hoda Tempered glass screen protector as well as a baseus 20w charger . Thanks !

All settled then ! total damage 4383 . I think im pretty satisfied with that .

I've never been this excited for a phone before , probably because im a total apple virgin . The Samseng supremacy ends here

I discussed with my gf and friends, they said 12 is good enough.

True, RM800 can be used to get AW Series 3.
Nice..

I left Samseng in 2017 and never regretted it.

Why you don't miss samseng / droid?

After using for 1 year, it starts to lag and freeze at some point.

I'm using flagship, not mid range ones.
Yep, due to currency..

Ic. For me, I'll miss split screen if I change back to iOS

QUOTE(Eisenmeteor @ Nov 13 2020, 06:23 PM)
Do you guys feel like the back of the phone can get fingerprints easily?
*
It's glossy back after all.. but put a case on it should be alright and take out case when you feel 'safe'. That's what I'll do. It's a premium design phone, enjoy it

There's split screen for certain apps like FaceTime, Netflix for now but I don't do work tasks on my phone so split screen isn't important.

I use good casing since purchase (spigen), and didn't charge overnight. The ip6 has change battery once at machines in 2018, still 100% battery life  laugh.gif

Actually, my samsung s5 and s7 still working flawlessly,  in fact, i'm using my s5 as my aircon remote control now and my s7 as my kitchen phone to view cooking tutorial and recipe laugh.gif So android or iphone also ok 1, depends how u take care of it and how u utilize it
agree, huge upgrade from ip6, but from ipXS (primary phone). Not so much difference other than camera
notworthy.gif  Thanks ya, enjoy yours too

I guess some high end androids model are okay. I used htc one for 4 years before the screen failed me. I thought nowadays is ok to charge overnight, as the phone cpu knows how to protect from overcharged.

I used mid range androids and 4 years old ip5s before, frustrating to use for my usage. Thanks for sharing the tips.

I’m using iPhone 6 for 7 years. No lies. Changed it’s battery once last year. Use ALL features and apps, even shoot and edit my short selfie video clips for my gf (because cannot cross district and visit her during this cmco period), all except playing games. I’m waiting for my iPhone 12 Mini to arrive on this coming Monday.

How do you survive with the low RAM? I multitask a lot between pdf, email and WhatsApp so low RAM doesn't work for me. If I get my ip12 mini, it's my first time using flagship iphone.

PS: Good bf material , you are smile.gif
