Transferred data via the new quick start feature.

It was better than my old iTunes backup and restore method. Keeps everything including Whatsapp conversation.

Definitely more reliable than restoring from iCloud backup as it is a direct transfer from old device.

Is the 12 on IOS 14.2? Need to update to be same/ newer than your current phone first before doing quick start right?
*
Not required to be the same version. As long as the old iphone is not with newer iOS than the new iphone. For eg if your old iphone is on beta of new iOS, then it won't work.

Oh....then I need to update the 12 to 14.2 first since it's still 14.1  hmm.gif

Yes, if your current iphone is already 14.2 and the new iphone is 14.1, it won't work.

Received this 5w wireless charger from Mac City. Better than nothing I guess.

I was just observing my phone yesterday and noticed that mine doesn’t come with the 5G cutout like US version.

Then I googled, apparently only the Americans will get the 5G mmWave spectrum  dry.gif Though it’s shorter range, but speeds are way faster than our version.

Don’t worry too much. MY won’t have 5G at least not in the next 1-2 years. By then maybe you upgrade your iPhone already.

well pro max is heavier than 7+
screen pro max is nicer? compared to 7+... maybe coz it's bigger?

The difference is not much to be honest, it’s clearer but not by a wide margin. I’m loving the battery life. Easily double of 7+.

Guys, I will need recommendation for thin and slim casing that gives protection, if possible a casing that can show off the beauty of the phone. tongue.gif

Anything below 100?

Not exactly sure why many opted for the leather case. It’s not exactly easy to clean (yes, nowadays need to wipe once a while with dettol wipes due to covid). It’s also not good if you touch any leather with alcohol based hand sanitizer.

Well, I clean my leather wallet with alcohol wipes on daily basis....

If it’s a genuine leather, rule of thumb is a no-no.

Specifically for Apple leather case, if you ever tried to wipe with any wet cloth, not necessarily alcohol based, the color will come off!

For those who wonder how the IPhone 12 Pro Max's battery life is compared to the IPhone 11 Pro Max, the difference is only around 26 mins of SOT. Not that bad considering the Iphone 12 Pro Max has a slightly smaller capacity battery.

iPhone 11 Pro Max, 7 hrs 42 mins
                      VS
iPhone 12 Pro Max, 7 hrs 16 mins

This is only relevant for ppl who own iphone 11 pro max to be honest. For ppl who own previous versions, the difference is really big.

Anyone experience 1-2s delay when press the power button before the phone actually goes to sleep? I came from 7+ and it’s almost instantaneous without delay.

Any good but thin SP to recommend. I personally don’t like those that are thick for eg 0.33mm. Currently using Ugreen cheap one (I believe it’s 0.25mm) but already got few scratches.
