Probably asked a few time already .

Im completely new to the apple ecosystem , maybe its time for me to jump ship.

Im not sure whether i should just get the 12 or 12 pro . The differences are quite small , i mean aside for the camera , other differences are discernable.

a rm 800 price difference is a lot. I could get myself an air pod pro .

So is the 12 pro worth it ? or should i just settle for a normal 12.

Is the telephoto to die for ? I've never tried apples telephoto yet ? But I do notice that I kind of use a lot of the 2x telephoto zoom on my note 10.
Wont the regular 12 come with a 2x zoom too ? I dont mind losing the portrait 'blur' thing.

Yeah , ill probably just reuse my buds then .


Yeah , i think the 12 would be fine . Its probably just FOMO with the 3rd eye

Pro max is probably too expensive and big for me , i'd feel comfortable spending below 5k incl accesories. Yeah , i should probably stave off from buying an apple watch and airpod for the mean time. Its just that im spoiled with my galaxy buds lol . Im still keeping the current phone as a place to keep stuff and watch shows.

Also the current reviews is kind of worrying , on how the battery doesnt last and how the 12 pro throttles on heavy loads. Is it something i should worry ? I dont bother playing any mobile games but i am a power user.

That solves it then , no doubts about it anymore

Ill probably only use it for daily use like browsing and med sos .

Entertainment and work will be done on my android phone .

Yeah , that too.

I think ill be selling the 12 if 13 gets a 120hz display .

But this question also comes up to mind . Wouldn't the 12 pro retain more value than the 12 ?

I'm seeing people sell their used 11 for cheap while used 11 pro still fetch quite a price. Senheng is still selling the 11 pro for 4399 yo

Used to be a hardcore Sammy boy. Bought nothing but their flagships since the S4 I think.
Currently using a note 10, which arguably has a ton of issue, especially with how they cheat SEA customers with exynos chips.

I guess I can consider myself to be a android power user, I've spent countless of hours rooting, customising (eg substratum) installing custom roms etc, but I've grown to dislike it. Maybe I've grown tired of it? I really like a vanilla experience, and I feel like ios is the best when it comes to it.

I think the one that made me want to switch was when I got loaned an iPhone 7. It blew me away, on paper it had terrible battery life and miniscule amount of ram etc. But it was fluid. No hiccups, battery life was decent too. Mind you we're talking about a 4 year old phone. If this was an android phone (Sammy) it'll shit itself by now. The support was decent too. If I'm not mistaken it recently just received its last update? A two year old Sammy flagship didn't even get one lol.

Another thing is that, so far. I'm getting bad experiences with android. Terrible memory management is still a thing and I don't know why. It's so infuriating to see these manufacturers chase 10-12gb ram on their phones when the os itself can't even utilise it properly.

Currently on my note 10. I'm getting terrible battery life, the phone freezes from time to time. It's especially glaring when I'm on chrome.

But it's not to say I'm going to ditch android. I'll still keep it as a 'productivity' phone since I think a lot of things when it comes to productivity, android does it right, although a bit beta ish and buggy lol.

Lastly it's because everyone in my circle is on apple haha, it's so goddamn annoying when they're all on Imessage and when they offer you to airdrop and you just can't.

( why don't I just use a different android device aside from Samsung? Well Samsung arguably is the only premium android brand so far, and one UI is the best skin amongst the rest.)


Edit : another reason why is because optimisation on android phones are abysmal. Probably since there's so many devices out there.

Can I ask? What made you regret your choice

It's hilarious how resellers pump the shit out of the pixel prices, I think my most fav pixel phone would be the 6p. But as you said, they don't really sell it here.

I really worry about the warranty since 80% of my devices all claimed their own respective warranties lol. I reckon trying to claim the warranty on a pixel device can be quite an endeavour.


I don't think the 6gb ram would cause much of a difference since ios is so goddamned good in managing ram. The 11 pro after all did come with a 4gb ram, and so far I haven't seen anyone complaining about the lack of ram.

1+ and xiaomi both make great killer devices, but it's not what I'm looking for hehe.

In a dilemma between the 12 and 12 Pro. FOMO the 3rd eye

It'll also take 2-4 weeks for the pro while the 12 takes a reasonable week to arrive.

Are demo sets for sale ?

Is it the same price or cheaper

will do !

Thanks

Anyone familiar with casetify ?

Ultra impact or the normal impact better

yeah tempted to buy it . 20% off and free shipping yo

But im scared that it'll dislike the ultra impact if it turns out to be thicker than the impact.

I dont like my current uag case because of how thick it is

only corner bumps right ? not thicker ?

civilian



But not for the pro max

what do you recommend .
