Sifus, what magnetic car mounts are you guys using for the pro max? My existing one is unable to hold the angle as the phone is too heavy for it haha. Ran over one pothole and saw the tilt drop almost gave me a heart attack.

I saw shopee selling some but I am worried it wont work with mous limitless case.

Please share thanks!  icon_question.gif

Since you're using a mous case, why not use their car mount?

Checked and already disabled for both true tone and night shift, but still yellow if compared to IPX side by side

Another way to change it is through settings - accessibility- display & text size - colour filter

Or just search colour filter at settings

For those who bought iPhone 12, is there any free 1 year Apple TV+ given?

I got mine for iPhone 11, but seems like iPhone 12 no such promo.
*
If I’m not mistaken, you’ll only get it once per id.

Btw, anyone tried any iPhone case from switcheasy?

I checked with Moft official store on Shopee for the status of their MagSafe wallet. Last chatted with them, they said by end of this month. Since still nothing appears on their store, I dropped a note early in the morning to ask the ETA. They replied me saying there is issue with Gen 1 Moft MagSafe and they are updating Gen 2 now and will be on sale in Feb.

No further details of what was the problem and ETA in Feb.
*
Noted, thanks for the update. 👍🏽 It’s fine with me as I’m waiting for more third party magsafe cases to go with the wallet as well.

Hey guys,

Mine has been dropped to just 98% for nearly 6 months of owning... sienzzz

I just use for normal tasks such as U tubing, web surfing, social medias, less on mobile gaming

I always wall charging my phones all d time n always update to latest firmwares

Wat hav I done??? I'm starting to get OCD d...

Is this occurrence normal?
*
Mine dropped to 98% on 8/5 and today dropped to 97%. I hardly used my phone. lol
hopefully it'll drop to less than 80% before the warranty ended.

Apparently, I did overnight charge before or even fully charged. AFAIK, I just charge whenever I like and important do not straightaway charge when your phone is warm and I rarely charge until full as well.

Furthermore, the Mous case is quite thick and dissipated heat is not good compared with other cases. I’ve been playing Slam-dunk, CoC & MLB only.
*
I have to agree on the thickness of a Mous case. I used the limitless 3.0 and i noticed the heat is quite noticeable when i'm charging it (charging with the 5w adapter not fast charging) and when i watch Youtube vids. Currently using Nomad Magsafe and it's not as warm as before.

eh becareful with Nomad. I used it before and yes you don't feel the heat. you know why? Cause it's leather, it captured all the heat inside the case. Open the case and you will feel how hot your phone is. That's when I realised oh no, this is bad, sold off the Nomad case, never again use leather for me cause I really wouldn't know.

thanks for the tips! will monitor my phone for now.

I really , reallly , realllyy like the boxy transparent cases like ringkes matte back . Really shows off the sexy shape of the 12s . But mine yellowed really badly. Why can't anyone just make acrylic sides for transparent cases.

How long have you been using that case?

Just arrived, pretty solid all around. Magesafe products are strong while the case is on as well. All buttons are nice and clicky, mute button cut out size is ok (fingernails would help to move it)

Here are some pictures

I think Apple is SLEEPING! bruce.gif

Keep promoting Dolby Atmos and Lossless but it only appear at older device.



  • Apple TV 4K (release 2017) - can turn on


  • Apple TV 4K (release 2021) - no option to turn on


  • Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max (release 2020) - no option to turn on


Screenshot in Apple TV 4K version 2017, this setting is missing at new Apple TV 4K version 2021 or iPhone 12 Pro Max.

At first I didn't have the option in my Music setting. But I played some songs from an album that supports it, then go back to setting. It's finally there.

Edit: I'm using 12pm

Anybody got suggestions for less than 100 ringgit wireless earbuds? Not even gonna consider consider airpods.

Coming from an android with a headphone jack, this is new to me.

There's a Facebook group "TRUE Wireless Audio Community Malaysia". Can check out the suggestions there before you make your purchase.

The screenshot that I posted is the current suggested tws.

Wow, do you game a lot? Mine is 93% after 6 months.

Nope. I don't game on my phone, don't use wireless charging or magsafe or fast charging or use it while charging either. I use it for social media, watch videos/shows on AppleTV and Youtube, waze. I bought it in Nov. I just noticed that from 100% to 99% took around 6 months. After that it's going downhill. lol

Tried few shops from Shopee, but the screen clarity and smoothness is bad. That’s why I ask in case you guys found any good tempered glass under RM20.

or Nillkin
https://shopee.com.my/Nillkin-CP-Pro-Temper...1920?position=0

most around RM20 for 1 pc or 2 pcs

spigen 2pcs per pack, during sales around RM50-60 also seems good deal, you can find in lazada/shopee yourself

ESR got a new ultra tough TG

ESR Armorite™ Ultra-Tough

Mine is still in transit tho, so not sure how good it is.

i notice this year's iphone 12 pro/pro max battery health drains fairly quickily compared to previous models... my wife's 12 PM is super underused, only used for whatsapp, not even other social media or entertainment... and even whatsapp usage is minimal like she check her whatsapp once an hour or so.. pretty low daily screen time...never on bluetooth etc.. never charge overnight, never charge below 30% and above 60%...and she uses the charger/cable that comes with the box... and guess what... she started using it dec 2020 and now its already at 95%...something's so wrong... she had her first 99% in may, then 98% in June, and then july onwards drops 1% every "week"... never had this issue in any of the older models..she gave up monitoring the battery health after googling up with loads of similar forum complains on the same issue...

I had that 'issue' from June till July with ios 14.5 till ios 14.6. 1% drop every 7-10 days. Currently at 91%. It stopped after updating to ios 14.7 though.
