QUOTE(doppatroll @ Sep 15 2021, 08:48 AM) integration of Touch ID on the power button is going to be the next revolution for them....because it is a selling point ma......wait until there is nothing to upgrade they will throw this in  Already done so with the iPad Mini / Air (TouchID). But thats only because there’s no FaceID sensor on those devices - doesn’t make sense to have 2 authentication method in one device, will only further drive up the cost. Also I guess Apple is hitting a roadblock in terms of technological advancement, in fact alot of manufacturers do. Now the key highlight features is always about the camera and screens only.

QUOTE(attw @ Sep 15 2021, 09:20 AM) I don't see that much of an upgrade from the normal 12 to 13 - no high refresh rate display as well. If you're into photography/cinematography then the 13 would be an excellent choice, otherwise if you can get a 12 on a good deal, I'd say go for the 12 - it's a great phone albeit the battery life is inadequate if you're a heavy user and have limited access to charging points during the day. Yeah, I thought that with the EU putting pressure on Apple to standardized the ports they might give in sooner rather than later. I do have a number of lightning accessories too so I'm not too bothered about it that much  Good points. Anyways, I'm waiting for maxis to release their plans now. Have you decided if you will upgrade, bro?  I’m waiting for reviews to decide - still on the fence. I mean the ProMotion screen will be a plus point for me for sure. Yeah let’s wait out for Maxis to announce their plans. Which colorway are you going for?

QUOTE(attw @ Sep 15 2021, 09:24 AM) Sierra Blue, but of course  I'm OK with Graphite too if the new colorway is out of stock (which I suspect it will be)... Nice, with the new coating - can go caseless this time? Show off some of the colors

QUOTE(attw @ Sep 15 2021, 11:24 AM)  I accidentally uploaded this on the 12 Pro/Pro Max thread instead of here... Anyone else thinks the phone is too heavy? Also, for the accessories buffs out there, would the 0.25mm extra in thickness for the 13PM vs the 12PM make a difference when it comes to casings? Damn increased weight lagi 🤔 QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Sep 15 2021, 11:41 AM) Oit... cilake... I go collect the charging brick from you if Apple dont provide one. That's your promise.  Finally its your time to shine this year - but for sure no charging brick already so can ask attw to get ready.

QUOTE(Ch3n_low @ Sep 15 2021, 01:23 PM) I wonder if 12 PM cases fits on 13 PM Had the same thought, don’t think they can fit. Means all the current cases will be put to waste if you change from 12PM to 13PM.

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Sep 15 2021, 02:01 PM) 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?  What’s worse is now still WFH cannot show off casing so alot of casing still brand spanking new 🥲

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Sep 15 2021, 02:35 PM) 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. Yeah man, wanted to get the DJI OM4 (then) to do some videography and content - obviously failed because of Covid 🥲 Might / might not buy, depending on the reviews. I’m more inclined on the Series 7 AW instead - those screen so cantik!

QUOTE(jiaen0509 @ Sep 16 2021, 10:20 AM) 256GB enough for new iPhone for photo only? Now 11 Pro Max now left 70GB. Need to let go current one only can opt for new 13 Pro Max. Even 128GB is enough if you have iCloud. I think 256GB is the sweet spot. QUOTE(tsg_7 @ Sep 16 2021, 10:24 AM) Yeah. After read through 10 pages now I got that. I tot promotion = discount or something. LOL. Sorry I'm not apple fans and did not watch the live yesterday. No worries, I didnt watch either, rather sleep lol. But ProMotion has been around since iPad Pro era, so I’m familiar with it

Imagine backing up 1TB worth of files 🤣
Sorry but a phone is a phone, realistically you don’t need 1TB. Even as content creators, pretty sure you store your files in hard disks and media servers etc.

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Sep 16 2021, 10:09 PM) 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 is time to try one.  Even people with slow / bad eyesight can tell a difference between 60Hz and 120Hz lol. It’s like gaming on a 240Hz panel vs a 60Hz panel. With that being said, I can’t go back to anything lower than 165Hz for gaming 🤪 Even scrolling on iPad Pro while browsing seems so much better than browsing on the current gen iPhone. Higher refresh rates DOES make a difference, and it is a significant one. This post has been edited by andrewtho: Sep 17 2021, 12:10 AM

QUOTE(nocko @ Sep 17 2021, 10:41 AM) Kinda hesitant to jump the gun since I have a 12 pro..... but the trade-in should still be worth it.....right? Depends on how much you deem as ‘worth it’ I guess. Telco plans + cash buyout is always the best deal compared to telco plans + instalment, better than buying at RRP of course.

QUOTE(kens88` @ Sep 17 2021, 11:34 PM) I saw someone mentioned that add attachment to email on iphone is difficult? Can elaborate? If use gmail or outlook on iphone also difficult? No its not. Just paste it to the email body and you’re good to go. Alternatively, if its an image - just double tap the email body and scroll to Insert Image or Video and you’re good to go.

QUOTE(RiriRuruRara @ Sep 19 2021, 01:52 PM) For pro max phones how long is the lifespan till it becomes too slow to use?? Easily 3-4 years at peak performance. If sluggish, just swap out the battery for a new one and all good to go. Just take note that some updates / features might not be compatible with older generation of iPhones - a common practice by all manufacturers.

QUOTE(attw @ Sep 21 2021, 04:53 PM) Ok la, time to change di...  Hahaha, yeah, but I've been toning down my activities here, just came back active when the new phones launched. Was eyeing a 128GB as well (my current iPhone 11 usage is at 30-odd GB of 128GB) but my iPhones are generally passed on to my wife after I'm done trying and she needs 256GB coz she got loads and loads of stuffs on her phone. I tried asking her to "spring-clean" her phone before but now I know better and just keep quiet So it's 256GB for me... Haha as long as happy-wife, happy life.

QUOTE(tsg_7 @ Sep 21 2021, 09:21 PM) Fark. Means force their loyal customer to change battery. And change the battery is not cheap... Damn it. Kinda force ppl change phone directly. Actually if your phone is under 2-3 years, dont think you need to worry about changing battery. Only after 3 years if your battery degrades then should think about changing. Again, by then your battery will only cost less than RM200. Battery degradation is common. QUOTE(XeactorZ @ Sep 21 2021, 09:39 PM) iPhone embargo are always Tuesdays 9pm a week before launch. Quite consistent.

Hahahaha https://shop.switch.com.my/iphone-battery-at-rm199/By the time you change your battery, will probably be around this price. So yeah, not too shabby.

QUOTE(doppatroll @ Sep 22 2021, 08:26 AM) I'm more interested in the camera review then anything else anyway.... MKBHD is more of overall quick summary while Verge one was more in-depth on the camera that i want to listen to since biggest change is there.....  Camera reviews, go check out Peter McKinnon’s YouTube review on the iPhone 13 cameras - he’s a professional photographer so his reviews are very non-technical but relatable usage. Another review I’m waiting for is Peter Stalman - another pro-photographer.
