Oit... cilake...

I go collect the charging brick from you if Apple dont provide one. That's your promise.

The iPhone 13 mini will cost US$699 (from RM3,399 in Malaysia), with the iPhone 13 priced at US$799 (from RM3,899 in Malaysia). Apple also is doubling the entry-level storage capacity to 128 gigabytes and adding a new 512-gigabyte configuration. The iPhone 13 Pro starts at US$999 (from RM4,899), while the Pro Max costs US$1,099 (from RM5,299) and up. There’s also a new 1-terabyte option for the Pro models.

Customers in Malaysia can start ordering the new iPhones on Oct 1, and they’re due to be available locally starting Oct 8.

So fast got price already for Malaysia?

Ok.. TBH I quite like the graphite. But since Sierra Blue is the in thing then....

The iPhone 13 Pro Max comes with three all-new cameras. Here is how they compare agains the cameras on the iPhone 12 Pro Max:


Wide (main) camera: 26mm on both, f/1.5 aperture on 13 Pro Max vs f/1.8 aperture on 12 Pro Max
Ultra-wide camera: 13mm on both, f/1.8 aperture on 13 Pro Max vs f/2.4 aperture on 12 Pro Max
Telephoto camera: 3X zoom, or 77mm on 13 Pro Max vs 2.5X zoom on 12 Pro Max

The iPhone 13 Pro Max wide camera now captures up to 2.2X more light at night for both photos and videos, and the ultra-wide camera gets up to 92% more light, so big improvements here too.

A new feature on the 13 series is called Photographic Styles. This is basically photo filers on steroids: you can do local edits in real time and you can see the results right in the view finder. You can pick a more vibrant look, or a different style, and you can have the iPhone remember that personal preference you have and use it across all your photos.

You can now also capture macro photos on the 13 Pro Max at a distance as close as just 2cm for incredible close-ups. This same feature applies for video too where you can record macro video.

Just like the iPhone 12 Pro Max, the iPhone 13 Pro Max will also come with a LiDAR scanner. The main use of that scanner is for augmented reality, and we are yet to see Apple realize its full potential.

But Apple claims the cameras are totally new cameras and have big improvements over the 12 Pro Max.

Haha... He better do. I hold his word for it.

Nolar bro.. Im actually not too excited about this new phone. Just a replacement for my aging XS Max. Dont know why but new phones just dont excite me like last time anymore.

Seems like the pricing is not too bad.

This is something we have to give credit to Apple for.

Confirm can't fit. You know how much Apple and case manufacturers make selling us those damn cases right?

Not only that. The phone is also underutilized. The main reason I'm using an iphone is for the camera. Haven't been going anywhere lately since CNY last year, so not many pictures taken.


Haha... now you can sell off your phone together with its casings for the new IPhone 13 Pro Max.

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.

You totally misunderstood my statement. The watching video part was just my example of how big the difference in watching in both types of resolution.

In real life, those who have used phones with 90 hz or 120hz screens would be able to tell the difference. For most people, smartphones with higher refresh rate displays will feel smoother and faster to use, and the difference is most obvious if you compare a 60Hz smartphone to a 120Hz device. The latter will feel slicker, especially when scrolling through websites and social media feeds.

A higher refresh rate means more images are shown in the same amount of time, which means any movement between each frame seems smoother. Because there are more frames, it reduces the gap between individual frames.

If you have never owned any high refresh rate displays yet, then it's time to try one.

That is main reason I must have an iphone as my daily driver. Security.

I still don't have full confidence on android mainly because each manufacturer could customize their own version of android heavily for whatever reasons deemed necessary to them. You know how hate those self pop up ads on Miui and that is one of the main reasons I am never going to use any of their android phones.

Haha... dont tease him la....

Good point on eye fatigue. Tbh, I can't bear to look at 60hz screens anymore for longer hours most probably because of the reason you mention. Feels like scrolling becomes slower and inadvertently phones becomes laggier though its the refresh rate.

Couldn't agree more on that. Not to mention high refresh rate displays are costs much much more than the traditional 60hz displays. Try checking LED tv / monitor price list and compare them and you would know.

But I don't blame them as majority of Iphone users have never tried high refresh rates display before.

Its not your old mate 20 pro doesn't take good pictures anymore but your requirements are much higher now for photo quality. Time to retire the old boy and get something new.

Haha.... the phone will be wrapped in cling wrap and delivered to you. You want additional protection, add a proper box for rm199. Charging cable not provided because you guys would have spares laying around every corner of your homes and office. (Thats what ifags claim la) No sim ejecter pin because you will be getting dual esim support. Warranty is additional rm299 because we are closing down service centres and retrenching staff that have to entertain your nagging complains.

Bam...Apple becomes a gazillion dollar company.

Looks more like a lunch box instead.

I don't know any other word to describe it, other than "cheap".



Dont think there will be a Galaxy Note for this year.

Next stop.... Charging cable.

Haha... Apple is having pressure from the EU in changing their lightning cable to USB type c already. Though that would be a good plan, it might not materialize.

That's true also. But some of us may prefer proper packaging for their phone as it doesn't come cheap.

I have rma'ed 2 Iphones before at AASP but I never gave them my packaging though. Only the phone itself.

Still I would prefer the box, a good one for that matters.
