Hahaha, yeah, I buy an iPhone every year like clockwork. Planning to get the Pro Max as well this year and also targeting the new color biggrin.gif
How's the performance and battery life now? Still good?
Hahaha... ok la, I contribute where I can smile.gif

You're the one thing constant in all the iPhone thread.

I'd be worried if I don't see you getting a unit laugh.gif

Gonna cop the 128 new color PM as well.

Doubt I need 256.

Since pro and pro max has no difference this year other than the screen size, what's the final bump that pushes you to get the Pro Max instead of the Pro?

Doing some final thinking, kinda want to get the Pro Max but at the same time, since not much difference besides screen size and battery life, might be inclined to go Pro only this year hmm.gif

I want to enjoy the 120hz smoothness in full glory on the bigger display. 😎
*
Both Pro and Pro Max has the 120hz right?

So you are saying you just want the bigger screen laugh.gif

Good reasoning thou. I can definitely appreciate the screen and battery life.

depends on yourself
for me i die die say no to max sweat.gif even last year pro max have better camera system, unless only option left by Apple
to me size is the BIGGEST concern, i prefer phone i still can one hand use, there are some people prefer big screen as well

if you can accept max size and no problem with it, just few hundred extra why not go for max?
*
I am coming from the 12PM actually, so sizing is not really an issue.

Just that since this year no difference in terms of camera, which I care about mostly, I guess can save the few hundred bucks and eat KFC instead? laugh.gif

Or the money could go to the extra storage to "record" more ProMotion videos, which I would welcome.

Thou I guess, it's just a matter of preferences.

Both has it. But I think it’s going to look absolutely stunning on the bigger display. I had 12 Pro, sold it before the apple event.

True. Pretty solid point.

Thanks for sharing.

I would definitely think it looks nicer on the bigger phone also laugh.gif

QUOTE(chrischiang @ Sep 22 2021, 12:31 PM)
for me the weight and size are the big NONO to max series..
i usually changed every 2 years.. but during xs/xs max i choose to get xs max.. i regret everyday after i got it.. having hard time to put in take out from pocket, when wearing sport pant(elastic band) kind.. the pant like going down 1 side is irritating... another reason would be one hand use...

changed to 11 pro the next year...  and 13 pro this year.. cant wait
*
I was from iPhone X. Next upgrade was 12PM. Didn't feel much different but the battery life was definitely heaven and earth level kinda diff laugh.gif

Therefore, since then, smaller phones won't cut it haha.

But I do get where you're coming from, esp when it comes to wearing some tighter pants laugh.gif

i believe no more 12AM since last year Apple Online Store Malaysia accept pre-order

last year is 9PM, telcos, reseller like switch machine senheng all follow 9PM last year on 6 Nov 2020 open for pre-order

this year first wave is 17 Sep 8PM Singapore time

i think for us will be 1 Oct 8PM for Apple Online Store Malaysia, telcos and reseller that allow pre-order

need wait for announcement biggrin.gif
*
I got mine from last year from Apple store.

So not really an issue lol.

SenHeng allowed PO earlier at outlet anyways. tongue.gif

+1 for me... i just scare i couldnt secure 1 unit when the website down...
they do reserve some units for walk in customer on day1 right?
our reseller and celcom already put up ads.. can preorder 1/10 1201am
*
Switch maybe website will be down.

I'm gonna do the most kiasu thing, ask them upfront to help reserve if possible laugh.gif

My friend did that last year and manage to get day 1.

No harm asking, right?

Sell at Carousell better value. Their value is super duper low.

You able to walk in Harvey Norman for Pre Order. I did that on my IphoneX, i walked in one day before IphoneX was launched. I made my full payment and the next day 10am i able to collect  rclxm9.gif

Banned HN coz they refuse to give me a new receipt for my apple product when the original faded and I lost the photo.

Rather get from Switch, instantly email a copy so forever can use to claim for warranty laugh.gif

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
*
Same here.

Thus looking at 13P instead.

Since we might be allowed to travel, might be taking more videos and etc. So yeah, extra storage helps a lot.

Trade in price at Switch for 12 Pro Max 256gb is 3865
13 Pro Max 256gb 5799

I can get a new phone with less than 2k so why not?

Quite glad many people think the changes are not significant enough. So the queue is shorter this year I hope
*
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.

I upgrade every year by selling it before the apple event and topping up a little bit.

Completely unnecessary? Yes. Does it worth for me to have the latest ipong? Yes.

Just keep it in good condition, papers, boxes, invoices, and I never had problem selling it off within 1-2 days. 😎

Definitely.

For me it's worth doing if you are that free to sell away and get a replacement shortly.

Aikkk, looks like im wrong hehehe

Will monitor this page also on oct 1

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!

QUOTE(KcX35 @ Sep 22 2021, 09:01 PM)
if preorder normally how long they take to deliver?

If lucky, on the day itself biggrin.gif

QUOTE(attw @ Sep 22 2021, 10:14 PM)
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).
*
True. You are tempting me back to the PM range!

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.

anyone here from penang have experience pre order from official website?

As long as you’re the fast, you’ll be allocated the launch day quota. Even in Penang or other states.

Apple using DHL. Die die will try to deliver to you by that day.

That’s why they only got limited slots for the first day pre order fulfillment. Once full d, wait lor.

QUOTE(Slyp @ Sep 23 2021, 02:16 PM)
If i don't pre-order thru website, i still can walk-in for purchase at Machines/Switch on the launch day right?

Very unlikely got stocks + it’s still Phase 2 in selangor. Don’t take the risk lol

hmm i see. thanks. where would be the better place to pre-order? apple MY or machines/switch?

Don’t need installment? Apple for sure.

Need installment? Switch first, the rest later coz need to PwP to use installment. Switch no frills.

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.

DHL usually will call you and if you don't pick up, they'll not drop it at the guardhouse unless you told them to.

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.

Well, no issue if want to bundle with screen protector.

Small problem really. Casing also I no problem.
