text and messenger mostly? 128gb is more than sufficient. Even iphone 12 64gb would be enough. Unless she takes a lot photos of flowers and grandchildren.. better go for 128GB then.

Just arrived

Hmm... interesting. Never really compared the Pro Max and Pro camera lens physically side by side. Might do that the next time I’m in a retail store

Yeah, agreed, you will only most likely appreciate the difference between the design of the 11 Pro Max and 12 Pro Max if you use the phones without a case. My wife concluded she liked the feeling of the 11 Pro Max better when used without a case coz the rounded edges makes it more comfortable to hold but with a case, all feels the same, hahaha...

Based on my personal experience and usage patterns, the 11 Pro Max will get me about 60-90 minutes more screen time. Standby times are about the same. And yes 128GB of storage is good enough based on that usage for your mum.

Friend's Samsung Note 9 screen issue and already repaired once for motherboard failure.

She got fed up with it, just walked in to Machines Sunway Velocity and bought iPhone 12 Pro Max Gold 256GB (she wanted blue or graphite but no stock lol).

Her secondary phone is iPhone X and bought Samsung for normal use. She said seems like destined to completely using iOS. Also influenced by me, I didn't expect she straight walked in to buy.

O.o why bored?

good influence!
next to poison her into buying the apple leather case

Wait till I see her soon.
Later I ask her which casing she is using with.

Time to buy iphone 13

how is your feedback after switching from android to iOS?

Oh nice. 👍😝 Another poison haha

Buy new casing to make the phone looks new, hahaha...

Samsung has a history of motherboard failures

I'm a bit more careful when it comes to influencing folks to switch from Android to iOS coz it can backfire spectacularly in a sense that they might totally hate it. When I was younger and had a bit more energy I would engage endlessly in the iPhone vs Android debates but now I just tend to let that slide, hahaha. Of course I still get some friends asking my opinion coz they know I have a penchant for changing and trying phones but I always ask them two questions: 1. What is your priority in choosing a phone and 2. What is your budget? Then you find they actually end up answering their own question, hahaha...

But of course, in your friend's case it's totally different since she already has an iPhone X as a secondary phone. Gold will look very, very good with a saddle brown leather case

I am okay with both. But sometimes her sisters will kepo a bit and ask questions like eh why didn't your son buy the latest ones for you ah this and that lol. If she feels no face then I also susah.

She doesn't take pics at all. I think 128gb should be okay already... Just can't choose which model to get for her now.

Great, the differences in battery life are not as significant as I thought. Thank you for your insight.

Samsung memang a lot of issues. My dad's using note 9 and had motherboard failures + display issues. Mom using note 8 and the screen just went crazy a few days ago

New experience, new learning for me but slowly adapting to it. Some of the stuff, it requires longer route compared to Android. For e.g., Android phones, easily access to the Quick Settings by pulling down the notification bar. iOS needs' Control Centre is just so-so, cannot completely disabling WiFi and Bluetooth (only for one day or something).

However, all in one I'm happy with the switch. No regret.

And the contact list is messy now since iCloud and google contact some are duplicate. During incoming call it will shows “ah beng or Ah beng”

Yes, my Android friends cannot brain why would we spend that much for a phone. I only told them, coming from Android, I think you gotta try it out yourself to know it. I really cannot say much because everyone's expectation is different. Just turn on our camera and you can see the difference. However, if camera is not your priority then we can stop this conversation already.

I got motherboard failure in Note 2 and didn't expect it still happening till today.

Yes and her screen went crazy too. Fuzzy.

Yeah, I also don't know how to solve the contact list. Will check it out soon.

Nice casing bro, where did you get that rear lens protector? Is it all in 1 set or separate ups?

Haha I actually prefer the feel on the 12 pro max, it’s much easier to hold, more grippy, and feels smaller (thinner), or maybe just coz it’s newer so anything that’s new is better from psychological perspective

Below is a comparison between 11 PM and 12 PM rear lens...the 12 pro has the same lenses as 11PM



This is 12PM vs 12 Pro:

hi, hows it? is this the one? i'm interested to get one.

it's separate, bought the lens protector from Shopee.

Yes bro, i bought online from Apple Shop and it's delivered from Singapore. Ordered last Friday and received today, very fast.
