surprisingly i'm not as hyped after watching the reviews lol

The only thing that interests me were the smaller notch and 120 refresh rate...  guess I might wait a bit after launch to see if it's worth upgrading or not

That battery is tempting. 2.5hours extra vs my 12 Pro Max.

The screen is worth mentioning since its an OLED @ 120Hz - visually should look more appealing vs iPad Pro. Defo good for content viewing etc.

I say only, but won’t be getting it this time round 🥲

I watch YouTube reviews strictly for entertainment, they almost never influence my decision to purchase a product or otherwise, hahaha. A lot of them are just there to get their viewership up, they’ll put titles like “iPhone 13 has big problems”, “Don’t buy iPhone 13 till you see this” bla bla bla..
Still got time to change your mind bro laugh.gif
Ya, thinking the same, especially if the 13 Pro’s battery life is good, but then again I’m so used to having a phone with big screen. My only hesitation with the 13 Pro Max is the weight. 240g is a lot!!
Hey sis! Good to see you again! smile.gif

Ya, I wished the Pro Max would have been lighter. They could have swapped out the stainless steel frame for lighter aluminium ones. I get that it won’t look or feel as premium but I’d happily accept the lighter weight and less fingerprint marks on the stainless steel smile.gif
*
hahaha let’s see what Maxis has too offer bruce.gif

But I doubt the weight increase will be that significant if you’re coming from a 11 Pro Max or 12 Pro Max la, that few grams won’t be too significant I guess.

Can sell at Carousell for more I believe.

Saw someone sold 128gb for 4k laugh.gif

So 256 is worth more, easily?

Plus Machines will find fault with the device to get the value lower than the max offered.

So nah, rather sell it myself.
*
Wah can sell for 4k, I can easily just get the 13 Pro Max from Maxis by topping up another 200 bucks for the 256GB variant. attw how? 🤣

QUOTE(doppatroll @ Sep 22 2021, 04:56 PM)
Maxis slow....Celcom already put up ready to preorder date....  laugh.gif

Yeah Maxis forever lambat one. Their independent dealers already asking me if I wanna pre-order 🤣🤣

Tried both the 11 Pro Max and 12 Pro Max, sold the former and passed the latter to my wife before I bought a 12 for myself and I so enjoyed the lighter weight 12 and am now using an 11. Problem is I carry two phones around these days hence started to really appreciate the lighter phones, heh heh…
Well I think things look up for local travel, but overseas travel won’t be so soon biggrin.gif
But for taking videos and photos, the larger screen would be better, no? Bigger viewfinder!
Dunno la bro, as someone who buys (and sells) many phones over the years, I find it harder and harder to fork out RM3k or more for a used phone these days so to sell off a used phone at RM4k especially during the times of Covid is a difficult ask. Last year I sold my 256GB 11 Pro Max at RM4k with about a month of warranty left before the 12 Pro Max launched and considered myself a bit lucky to be able to get a buyer back then - doubt I would be able to get that kind of price had the warranty expired. The warranty of the12 Pro Max my wife is using now will expire on November 14th, so I still have a bit of time to decide if I wanna sell off the phone (if Switch is still offering 3755 for a trade-in next month I will be very tempted).
*
Haha yeah was browsing around Carousell and saw the price around 4K plus minus for the base 12 Pro Max. But yeah if Switch is offering that price seems quite a decent deal - my unit is just 2 days earlier than your wife’s, so we have a balance of 1 month warranty left. In another words, changing phone again under 11 months tongue.gif

How do you usually gauge your selling price? thinking of selling mine as well instead of trading in  hmm.gif
*
Alot of places actually, Facebook Marketplace, LYN Garage Sales, Carousell, Mudah (not recommended) etc.

Survey around for the same build for market price then you set your own pricing based on how much you are willing to absorb. If you are too lazy, you can always look for AAP (Machines / Switch) that offers Trade In and its much easier.

Come on bro... you know you want to... do... not.... resist... laugh.gif
haha, yeah, as they say, go big or go home! That said the early reviews
For me I usually look at the lowest possible online price for a new unit now and then I'd expect something approximately 20% to 30% lower, depending on the phone condition and whether or not it still has warranty. Another method is to look at the trade in prices offered by the likes of Switch and Machines and you can probably go RM400 to RM500 more - otherwise might as well just trade in. You can usually set any selling price you want but the question would be at what price would folks be willing to buy smile.gif

It's also interesting that the 13 Pro that has a smaller battery (in terms of mAh) performs better than the 13. I'm definitely stoked for the battery life this round!

I already put my name forward for Maxis’s ROI 😅🤦🏻‍♂️

Heard they even offered doorstep delivery so I dont have to head out to get my unit. Haha the poison is strong.

Usually independent telco stores will put up their ROI list on their social pages, ie Facebook.

So I just search Maxis Sunway or Subang and you will see their distributor’s page and there’s a link to register.

This would be from the MEP stores right? (maxis Exclusive Partners) I don't think maxis branches will offer any ROI. Their website is up but it's fairly general.

https://www.maxis.com.my/en/devices/iphone-13/

Yup MEP.

Official Maxis branches wont publish anything without HQ’s directive

The delivery date is shown b4 you check out.

Apple new products, usually via DHL only.

So far, I ordered last year at 12,01. Got it on the launch morning after spamming the tracking non stop laugh.gif

If you are fast enough, for sure can get on launch day.

If you take too long, delivery slots all taken and gone d so you gotta wait.

So 13 incoming next month? 🤔

I remember roughly that some members ordered (PO) and of course they promised to send on launch day, but the didn’t - about 1 or 2 days after launch only they got their phones.

Bummer really.

Was browsing Dbrand to get some skins for my laptop then I came across their TG for iPhone 13 Pro Max - and its actually quite decently priced for 2 units per pack.

Pulled the trigger, so yeah its inevitable. 13 Pro Max lets go?

Get the 13PM, sell your 12PM and get another 13, hehehe...

Haha it was calling for me. Usually I buy Hoda, gonna give it a pass this round.

Now thinking of which case to get, but surely must be a MagSafe case since I charge using Magsafe.

launch period, many others want to buy laugh.gif
but this time unsure, not always like this, base on experience collected from others, most peoples here noticed the reseller usually asking customer to purchase additional stuffs if go for instalment
if purchase case/tg still okay, if need to purchase the protection plan is quite pricey...

for maxis MEP also, if dont want in troubles, better go Maxis Centre, MEP is Maxis Exclusive Partner, the boss is someone else that they can add additional TnC when you buy phone from them...
they know if a phone sell like hot cake, they will ask customer purchase extra stuffs during launch period

but if you know maxis MEP people working inside, they can help you reserve phone if close enough laugh.gif got lubang inside haha
*
Yup this is true.

I happen to know the owner of a few MEP stores - they usually will force bundle the accessories for hot items, so I rather just buy directly from Maxis. But ROI through MEP just as a backup in case direct no stock.

Ya, also wanna get a MagSafe case but the choices are quite limited right now from local sellers. I might go for a modest Ringke case first and then wait for the Black Friday sale to get directly from US like I did for my Nomad case last year smile.gif
The telcos normally won't release their plans and phone pricing till much closer to the preorder date - so you'll likely only see their plans coming up on 30th Sept noon or evening...
I can accept the bundling of accessories to a certain extent but I've seen some MEPs outright refuse to sell the device unless it was with a new line registration. That's a bit much laugh.gif
*
Yesss Nomad!

I’ll get it directly too, came with a bunch of cool stickers which you dont get if you purchase it locally.

How is Ringke cases? Thinking of getting normal case - or the Apple case.

Ya, Nomad has generous offers on Black Friday - 40% off. Even after shipping and conversion still reasonable vs the local resellers here. That said though I’m gonna skip Nomad this year and probably try some other case I’ve not tried before - Mous or Rhinoshield.
Must… not… resist… bro laugh.gif

Hmm Mous, might be worth giving a try.

Will wait for Black Friday for that sweet 40% off then haha 🤣

QUOTE(CertifiedHomphobe @ Sep 24 2021, 03:07 PM)
Mind telling me why protection plans aren't worth it? I get scared when i risk shelling out half the phones price for a broken screen.
*
Because you just need a decent case + TG and you’re basically safe. Honestly I’ve dropped my phone dozen of times, even 2 flights of stairs and not a single scratch or dent. Well the TG shattered of course but heck - the new Ceramic coating on the 12/13 iPhones are a real deal.

Money is yours, totally up to you.

I wont bet on that ..... Only those who preorder online will not be charge upfront. There is a new rules where you have to pay upfront lately, Last time i did take Zerolution from maxis centre on my 12 pro.... and i had to paid RM 1,200 for the upfront fee but of course the fee will deduct back to your bill...Check with you local store first to avoid disappointment....
*
The upfront I believe is only for new users - existing users dont have to pay upfront. Then again, upfront or not - it offset to your billing cycle so its fine.

Come on. Even the ceramic / sapphire thing also a BS from Apple.
Tested on JerryRigEverything.

Sorry I'm here not to bash Apple but from what I see their marketing is really at their best. Abit improvement and claim it big.

If, just if, this video is real which claim it is not 120Hz, I'm kinda of disappointed. LOL.
*
There’s a theory that being ‘ceramic coated’ and tougher glass means its stronger against shatter and breaking, but weaker against scratches. Its like a give and take sort of thing.

And anyway, glass is still glass. Put any jargon on it - at the end of the day, it will still scratch or break.
