Hi I’m otw to change to new iPhone
I saw some YouTube vid you can transfer all data wirelessly when 1st setup the new iPhone

I was wondering will the WhatsApp message be transferred too?
And all the apps like fb/Lazada will it login automatically or need to relogin
*
iphone to iphone can do wirelessly or via itunes. need to used encrypted backup then data will be able to backup. I've done many time transferring whatsapp from ios to ioa pretty much straight forward. if it's not working I'll use backuptrans(few years ago) or dr.fone(now)

anyone did the jump from iphone Xs to iphone 12 pro? online reviews say that the upgrade is almost zero to minimal however i know that online sites are just using specs as a their indicator

but to those that did the switch - how was the overall experience? is it truly better or is the upgrade minor?
*
I can't say about xs but i came from SE 2016 and 11 pro max. I'd say from 11 pro max, overall performance not as minimal as i expected. most noticing improvement when you take photo shot. other than that, ui feel slightly snappy, battery also great on mine.

Anyone owing UAG plasma and pathfinder? how is the feel compare to UAG civilian? plasma or pathfinder has the better grip?
*
maybe not answering the question but uag plasma give better grip than rhinoshield solidsuit. and plasma also very tight at side when put on or take off the case. and also not as protective as solidsuit.

I dont see any improvement on this tho, 2 bars for digi cellular network in my area both for XS and 12 pro max  rolleyes.gif

mine also 2-3 bar for digi 4G and fullbar for 3G, but overall experience seems to be fairly improve from 11 pro max. can say might be placebo effect. haha

The mallard actually makes it look like a fake UAG copy lol . Not to mention how fingerprints and oils are super visible on it. Welp , can't exactly refund it. But its something to keep in mind of in the future.

thanks for cool info. will keep that in mind for my next purchase too. luckily for myself an clear plasma for 12pm.

QUOTE(Phonzy @ Apr 20 2021, 12:45 AM)
thanks for the opinions!

just got my iphone 12 pro and loving it. can definitely feel the difference from the XS.

one thing i realized when i changed my XS is that my battery health on the XS was 81%

In order to have a longer life on my new phone i’ve been reading on optimal battery charging and how to preserve it. but the more i read it’s like you can’t even enjoy the phone and have to build a habit around the charging lol

in summary, does anyone have simple summary or tips on how to maintain a long battery life instead of the massive amount of steps to follow on online articles ?

much appreciated!
*
imo just use your phone as you need. it meant to be used. you deserved the best out of your phone. the phone can learn your usage pattern over time to optimize and preserved battery.

Always love UAG for my phones.
previously bought monarch for my iPhone 12pro but sadly can't support magsafe, have to let it go
*
luckily I dislike magsafe (for now LOL). other than magsafe, i'd say uag give balance between protection, grippiness and style.

I will buy one for fun although not forgetful person biggrin.gif
I think you mean Bluetooth tag, NFC only have VERY short range in cm sweat.gif
this company is doing ok for tracker tag https://www.thetileapp.com/ they sold a lot globally

they even complain about Apple AirTag https://techcrunch.com/2021/04/20/tile-bash...ir-competition/

for the tracker tag, first there are tracker tag only utilize Bluetooth, and there are tracker tag utilize Bluetooth and UWB, for precise finding UWB is needed, because UWB accuracy can reach 5-10cm

recently Samsung get ahead in releasing tracker tag, SmartTag and SmartTag+
SmartTag => Bluetooth only (~USD19)
SmartTag+ > Bluetooth and UWB (~USD39)
Apple AirTag => Bluetooth and UWB (~USD29)

in term of pricing, if someone said Apple selling expensive tracker tag, I would say no biggrin.gif
refer to the tile tacker above, they are actually selling USD25-39 depending on the model, and if not mistaken most of it only uses Bluetooth and don't have UWB

and most important AirTag is first party accessory... Apple have 1 Billion active iPhone user... Apple does open Find My network for third party tracker maker to hook into... but the price third party make can sell is? by offer extra feature? slimmer? better?

so in the end I would say AirTag sitting at the right place and price point for people who use to forget where they put their stuffs smile.gif
Should be 26th or 27th since apple release note tell developer to be ready starting 26th April
https://developer.apple.com/news/
*
after watching some review on the airtag, I'm sold. but when there's no combo pack of 4 for Malaysia market, I'm off. haha. 1 is not enough.
and also the most can benefit from this airtag tech those who live in city area where iphones' everywhere. rural area at most can be key tracker.

That's really great.....BTW the overseas iPhone unit now eg: USA or HK set are able to perform warranty claim in our local MY Apple service center or those service center operated by Apple Authorised Reseller??
*
If you're buying LL set from local seller, most likely the warranty will come from seller shop. If they told can claim from ARR, bring the phone to nearest ARR for confirmation.
The best is to go to Singapore and walk in into Apple Store.

I purchased iPhone 12 Pro in January, but now prefer bigger screen of 12 Pro Max, is there any venue that I can sell this iPhone 12 Pro so I can buy 12 Pro Max?

What's a suitable price to sell this newly used iPhone 12 Pro?
*
I was the opposite of yours. Initially I got 12 Pro Max due to all the best spec available. when use on day 1 I feel the phone is very big, using 1 hand is not convenient for me.
Been looking for trade with 12 Mini or 12 Pro for awhile now. But now, the weight and size seems no issue anymore. Haha. If you're still looking for 12 Pro Max might get back to me we'll see if can deal or not.

QUOTE(moniqee @ Apr 23 2021, 11:36 PM)
pro max can really feel the weight... and i'm coming from 7+
but yeah the time will make one to be used to the weight  brows.gif  brows.gif
*
yeah, but later when put good case can solve the issue somehow as weight would become issue if hard to handle or easy to fell off from hand.
I tried rhinoshield solidsuit the grippiness not so much, so weight become a problem. Then i tried UAG plasma, once i can grip nicely, heavy or not is not an issue.

Gaming on your phone also will deplete your battery health.

IMO just use our phone to fullest. Don't overthink.
Gaming, photo taking, video recording, on call for long period all surely heat the phone up and gonna take toll on battery health in long run.

Idk why iphone so concern about their battery health as it sound dumb as an android user, dont get me wrong but its expected to have lower battery health, even your car every 2 years atleast will need to change a new battery.

Just use it and dont bother to check.
*
don't misjudge. many of us iphone users are very particular and care for our phone and we want the best out of our device. and if there's issue we'll sort it out together. if you go to android thread and talk about battery related i bet you'll get less response as android user are more concern about bugs or hardware issue.

Yet some people think, we shouldn't be concerned.... As far as I can recall, XS didn't have good battery life right?

all non-plus iphone had bad battery life, even need to be with powerbank to last a day. only plus series and later 11 onwards have considered good battery life.
we know and we still stick to iphone nonetheless. icon_idea.gif

Surprised when some here saying their phone at 99% 😅
*
Haha, for whatever % battery health is we should just take it from the user itself. True or not doesn't really matter.
Well it's possible to maintain higher % over time but I'd say that it's very rare case. Been friend with many iphone seller also mentioned the same.
Most 1 year+ aged iphone will have plus minus 89-92%.

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Sep 1 2021, 06:05 PM)
Mine is Iphone XS Max. Used since launch till today. My battery health is still 85%. Its my daily driver. But I practice good charging habits by only charging to max 90% and not letting battery percentage fall below 15% before recharging. I only use the stock slow charger.  tongue.gif
*
Theoretical it's possible to maintain good habit to preserve battery health, but many factor to take into consideration. Many typical user doesn't really comply to the habit as it kinda limiting what you really can do with the phone.
Even my iphone se 2016 still at 97% after last battery change about a year and I don't even care if battery drop empty or always charge till full from any % left when I'm about to go out.

QUOTE(YS3nsatiOn @ Sep 1 2021, 10:18 PM)
Ops sorry, I think my wording was not clear. Actually I'm currently using Ringke fusion, thinking to change to another one and saw this ESR casing you posted.

So it's really good eh? I shall trust you and get 1  icon_idea.gif
*
I can vouch ESR cases are pretty good quality case. Using on my 12 mini before. Good grip and good protection. Mine was clear simple case like cheap rm5 pasar malam one but it's good.

You’re right. Decided to get 13 pro instead

No issues so far. iPhone, it just works.
Although I can’t really notice the pro motion screen coming from a 60hz screen
*
haha, that's why curious the reason ppl still go for 12 series when they can afford for 13 series.
pro motion more future proof with extra features. enjoy your phone.
