Am using UAG Plasma at the moment. Good protection but fitting is pretty tight.. a bit paranoid when taking the phone out from the case

Hahaha, yeah a bit paranoid I might accidentally scratch or bend the phone when removing it from the case I know it's silly but it's a feeling I can't shake off, hahaha..

Yeah, am also eyeing a leather case, either Nomad or Apple's original leather case... haven't decided yet...

Bellroy? Hmm.. ok, might take a look at that. Here more 12 Pro Max kaki rather than 12 Pro

Not a fan of cases with exposed bottom

Best Display in a Smartphone bar none

Wow bro.. looks good!

moniqee, tempted or not?

Hahaha, ok ok... I'm still deciding between this and Nomad

Hahaha, no la, won't be doing that!

It's a pity I can't travel to Singapore this year, otherwise I can try all the cases at the Apple Store there which is what I usually do

Won't get any good deals with the Apple original case, we'll have more chance with the nomad one

They are clearing the older ones for the 11 series at RM143 for members

Hahaha, sure sure

Yup, it's 27th Nov. Black Friday isn't big in Malaysia but if you're ordering from US then there could be a deal or two if you can get stocks

USD weakened a little now, might be worth considering

For us the next big one is 12.12 I guess, but I find that usually the deals on 11.11 are better

Try a different charger or a reset and see if it helps. If it doesn’t then you might need to visit the service centre already. That could be a spot of bad luck!

This is why I pay to have the experts install my tempered glass for me But because of the flat nature of the phone this round I notice they did it fast and effortlessly, but mine was new out of the box when I got in installed hence no dust..

Happy Hoda user here

For me the battery life of the 12PM is more or less matching my 11PM in a sense that I'm getting about 5 hours SOT with 45%-50% of battery remaining, which is my typical usage pattern. However I feel that because I'm spending more time indoors these days and relying mostly on WiFi, I assume I'd lose an hour more of SOT on LTE and therefore in that sense probably the battery on the 11PM is slightly better. That said, the battery of the 12PM is more than adequate for heavy use in a day.

As far as the design goes, the 11PM is more comfortable to hold naked for longer periods of time due to the curved edges but obviously I dig the looks of the 12PM more, of course. As far as the colour goes, as a personal preference I'd probably pick last year's Midnight Green to the Pacific Blue of this year, but that's just an issue of personal taste.

Yet to try the camera though but will try and do that over the weekend and probably will use the phone for just another week after that before passing it on to my wife

I brought the phone to a machines outlet just opposite of the maxis centre immediately after I got it and asked if they had the tempered glass I wanted and they said yes, so I bought it, brought out the phone box and asked them to help me apply. The staff there was like "Woa, still plastic wrapped? Bro, you unbox first then I help you apply" I told him it was fine for him to unbox it but he insisted otherwise, hahaha...

If you go to the shop when it's not really busy, the staff there might help to apply it for you for free. Can try

I doubt we'll see any deals for the phones itself though, but will keep a lookout on any nice accessories on sale, hahaha...

How much did you pay for your Hoda bro? I bought it at RM69 for the 12 Pro Max.

What exactly are you eyeing bro, cases? charging brick and cables? MagSafe?

AirPods Pro for below RM800 or just slightly more is possible as per the 11.11 sale. Will let you know if I spot something

I bought mine on 4.4 for RM999 (but got 15% coins rebate on Shopee) - lagi jialat...

If you got friends buying iPhone from maxis see if they can help tumpang buy MagSafe - 10% off.

Hahaha, really didn’t expect AirPods Pro would get such price cuts which is rare for Apple products before the successor is launched. Heard we’ll have new ones come March next year. Let’s wait and see
