covered everything here. Can just copy paste to save time TS!

But lack of Battery size info. And no mention of 120hz refreshing rate on Iphone mini and normal, so I assume they still stick to 60hz for both model.

I’ve used both Android and iOS for years (still use both even now) and I would say that Android has improved in leaps and bounds over the years. I don’t buy all the Apple fan talk about iOS being far more stable than Android these days - and I’m an Apple fan myself so that’s saying something, hahaha. Granted Apple makes both hardware and software hence the integration is far better unlike Android where there’s numerous  phone manufacturers all with their own interpretation of how Android should look and feel. For that reason also iOS apps are generally of better quality and far more stable, that I will admit. But iOS ain’t perfect - the “closed” nature of iOS can cause  a lot of niggles and frustrations especially for the purists that enjoy the liberties and openness Android offers. You might enjoy it or completely hate it biggrin.gif
*
This, especially when you switch to iOS from Android just to realize that you have a big problem to transfer data from Android to iOS laugh.gif
- Feedback from colleague, who find out I have plan to switch, but is it difficult to do like he say? or it is just exaggerated?

It's not an exaggeration - it really is troublesome, hahaha...

Well for one, your WhatsApp history is not transferable across platforms unless you invest in a third party software like BackUpTrans. Some of your apps with saved passwords and data won't transfer over so that's a bummer as well. If your photos are in your device and not on Google photos, then transferring it over to your iPhone will take just that little bit more effort than it should. Stuffs like that. The worst part is if you wanna go back from iPhone to Android, then you have to reverse the process - painfully, hahaha... I used to do that a lot by changing my primary devices from iPhones to Android phones but I've given up the ghost. Now I just stick to iPhone as my main driver and I keep an Android for work/secondary device. Settled.

Well, password and image I think shud be cause no much problem to me. Only problem will be the WhatsApp thing, as I been using WhatsApp a lot in my work, so the red highlighted part above is what I may do if I finally decide to switch to iPhone. nod.gif

1) May I ask if buy from Apple official site, will they pre-apply the screen protector onto the phone before their shipped out?
2) Who is their delivery partner/vendor?
3) Are their allowed to have buy online then pick up from their authorize reseller?
4) Any authorized reseller got provide such service (online preorder, pickup in outlet)?

I ask about 3) and 4) becoz I staying in flat, so usually delivery man will only leave parcel in guard post, and parcel always missing/kena stolen.

Actually, looking at the battery capacity I kinda confuse on how 13 Pro that has more feature than regular 13, but has lower battery capacity (3125 vs 3240), still can last longer than regular 13 in term of playback or standby time (which as claimed in spec sheet)...these kinda sus to me sweat.gif

oh should be mainly because of the ProMotion display..
13 will always at 60Hz..while the pro series when u browsing web or read stationary it will reduce to 10Hz, watching movie 30Hz.. which is why the pro series can last longer
*
I see, so 13 Pro may have the advantage on power consumption by ProMotion despite smaller capacity. Anyway I shall wait for the coming review, which some member here saying tonight shud have already. If the actual battery performance of 13 Pro is gooding then can proceed to get it already laugh.gif

1st and 3rd is looks more okay to me, at least they got mention the pro and cons on the phone, just that need full review to actually know more. 2nd one is normal. The last Chinese review is just non-stop praising the phone, although he only test the phone for 2 day (while other 3 reviews test about 1 week or more), it can easily make people think that his video is a paid review.

Generally I think possibly 13 Pro will be focus for willing buyers. But of course I can be wrong too.

OMG, almost every YouTuber is paid review and especially MKBHD is too biased. As for Vincent Chong, he’s the most often criticize iPhone like TESTV as well with a more delicate way. Literally, you watched too much famous YouTuber and brainwashed by them.
*
Nah, I never watch any phone review on YouTube before, and this is the first time I actually watch it. I just prefer to check review on website or checking with friends or colleague that using the phone. Most of the time, I just check for informational purpose only as I not always change phone, FYI my current phone is 6 years ago.
So basically I don't know who is MKBHD or Vincent Chong or any famous Youtuber laugh.gif
And from the review video shared previous post, I only know The Verge as I got read their articles before, but never watch any videos by them (1st time watching is yesterday, on the previous post video)

If you don't need this instalment, this website is the best. Conlan7firm laugh.gif

Won't hangkei, and if you manage to key in the order asap, confirmed to get on launch day!

If lucky, on the day itself biggrin.gif

*
So it means that if preorder on early morning (lets say before 12.30am) on 1 Oct, we may get the phone on 8 Oct if we are lucky right?
May I know if delivery service (I know is DHL/UPS from early post) got delivery on weekend or not? Or only working day?

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.
*
I see, gonna try my luck on that day laugh.gif
And DHL will not simply ask guard to sign off the parcel right? Coz I never have item delivery by DHL before...

QUOTE(vez @ Sep 23 2021, 03:15 PM)
can, i am from Penang
last year Apple Online Store pre-order open 9pm on 6 Nov, this year should be 12:01am on 1 Oct (since telcos and other reseller is 12:01am)
I place my order around 9:05pm last year, I get my 12 pro delivered on 13 Nov (launch date)
can, if stock limited, you only have less option
pre-order is safe because you will get the color and storage you want
*
Thank for the info, btw I from Penang too, now is deciding on whether to 1) preorder & delivery, 2) preorder & pickup or 3) trade in to buy. laugh.gif
But maybe will try my luck to preorder & delivery, hope can get at the launch day.

I recalled Switch last time didn't have such T&C thou.

My friend got it last year, okay jer 12 months 0%

Guess they might have change it.

https://shop.switch.com.my/credit-card-instalment

I tried their online store and randomly add a MacBook in and clicked instalment without PWP.

It goes all the way to the payment page. Prolly it works just fine.
*
I think maybe it will work fine for online store, just that retail shop may have different idea. Furthermore, they can always change their plan/policy to fit their need, like make some adjustment for launch month? laugh.gif

QUOTE(vez @ Sep 24 2021, 07:43 AM)
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
*
So almost every reseller (machine, switch, HN, SenQ) doing this too? Then I think better buy from Apple official site better sweat.gif

For those who are trading in their old iPhones, it should be possible to make payment when collecting the ip13 at the store aftr deducting the trade-in value.

It means that we can preorder and pay deposit first, then proceed for trade in when collecting the phone from the shop, then pay the final amount after deduct, right? smile.gif

The value given is quite poor.
Can. But as mentioned above, Carousell is a better option if you want higher value.

If don't care can just go.

I see, but I not sure if my Samseng Note 5 with dying battery & stuck S-Pen can get any better price laugh.gif

Have to agree it’s a lot of hassle getting rid/selling items that are not tip top condition..definitely easier to just trade in..or if you got some extra time just chuck it in selling platforms, sometimes it’s a luck game to get quick and not fussy buyers...worth giving a shot

If you're honest, it's okay wan.

I sold my half dead iPhone X for 1,5k on Carousell.
