12 pro still a great phone in year 2022
doesnt lose much, eventually Switch / Machine selling at discount price also RM300-400 cheaper, you get subsidized from maxis, the subsidized reduce only

extra camera extra gpu core

Waiting for that a long time tho it's on iPad Pro for few years already

hahaha enjoy pre order on 1st October

Aik, dun forget got better cameras, bigger battery and better battery life, stronger gpu

Apple doesn’t want you to run out of storage space, perhaps

Same here. After a year of usage, my current iPhone storage utilised is 30GB of 128GB, hahaha. Granted, it’s been a year of hardly any photos and videos…

It’s not just a single feature la, but the extra features may be something you don’t appreciate then that makes it not worth to go with the Pro. An argument can also be made about not needing to go for the regular 13 and going for the 12 instead.

i didnt go for ipad pro when air 4 was launched

having the same dilemma now

not really seeing myself useful over this two feature

but an upgrade is still an upgrade

Ad shows iPhone attached to a motorcycle when 2 days earlier, apple told us doing so will damage iPhones camera

12 is bad battery. full stop. end of argument.

and fair what to narrow down to what feature ill be appreciating. because thats where the extra money goes to.

regular 13 got all those except for gpu which is for mobile gayming, which i dont

and camera...its only telephoto, which again i rarely shoots with

Depends on your usage. Google and you'll find many visit doctors for neck, hand, wrist, eyes and shoulder pain from gadget use.

My male friend don't mind heavy phone coz his priority is big screen. Even buy pants with big pockets to accommodate phone size

For female friend, wants bigger screen to watch Netflix or easier to read texts and don't mind to put their phone on table or purse

For me, a mobile phone design should be one hand use, light and can fit into pants pocket without the big bulge. If can fit into shirt's pocket is nice option too

In the end, Most important is enjoy your phone

just buy wtv u think suits u the best. everyone use their devices differently

Yes. 60 hz is like 2010 technology. Get a 120 hz device should place you in a good spot of technology for the next 3-5 years.

Haha.. true to that. 60 hz is totally not acceptable now that it is 2021. More so when you are paying top dollar for a top spec'ed phone. ProMotion is the only way to go.

To use 60hz screens would be akin to watching HD videos when you already have 4k now. Unsatisfactory.

just need to pay the 1st month advance..after that walk out of maxis with your new phone

actually to watch videos, no matter HD or 4k, 60Hz is more than sufficient, because most movies are shot using 24fps = 24hz.

120hz screen only makes difference for UI or gaming.

Seems is storage limitation. prores take up a lot of space. Almost 100gb fopr 10 min video

Then even the 256gb can only take less than 20 mins Pro Res video haha

Well said! Yet this debate will go on...

I got to know that apple.com doesn't offer 0% interest instalment. Means I gotta go with resellers instead.
Based on experience, which ones have great service?

I looking for 36 months installment. Any idea how to get it?

Switch I remember got offer but need to buy their rm800 insurance. Not really interested if that is the case

I used the 12 for a few months and while I agree the battery life isn’t stellar, it’s not all that bad for the average user. 4 hours of screen time over a 24-hour period won’t be a problem, of course that won’t cut it for heavy users particularly if they use LTE/4G more than WiFi. I’ll have to wait to see the actual real life battery usage of the 13 to see if it’s a worthwhile upgrade over the 12. Yeah, in the end, it’s our money so you pick the right phone that suits your budget and usage.

Yeah, Apple MY website doesn’t offer any interest-free payment. As far as the retailers go, I think their service is more or less about the same - just need to pick one that offers instalments and has stocks of the model that you are looking for.

SenQ or Senheng probably has 36 months instalments for certain credit cards but there’s a nominal service fee if not mistaken. Yeah, don’t pay for all those third party protection plan - it’s a bit unscrupulous for the sellers to force that on the buyers.
