I wonder if 12 PM cases fits on 13 PM

difficult to fit, extra 0.25mm thickness... i would say can try sweat.gif but could be very tight fit

Anyone know about the RAM for base and pro models?

So far only GSMArena shared it's 6GB/8GB
About the 120hz refresh rate, i thought its already implemented in iPad much earlier.  So, buyers shouldn't worry too much?

have to wait someone run the benchmark like geekbench... soon, by next week Friday biggrin.gif we shall know

Maxis consultant told me there's a slight discount. I bought it at RM3986 with monthly plan. Is it reasonable?
*
12 pro 256GB with MOP 128? if yes, you get cheated lol
3986 for 12 pro is the price after subsidized last year during launch for those sign up MOP 128

unless your MOP plan is cheaper @ 98 monthly, or your phone is bigger storage 512GB

12 pro 256GB RRP is 5399, usually maxis subsidy 1400 when sign up with MOP 128

if above assumption is true, you buy something not worth at the day new iPhone just launch sweat.gif

with the MOP 128, after subsidized become 3986, you can get 13 pro 256GB three weeks later sweat.gif

refer below for last year maxis 12 pro launch pricing for subsidized phone

Ah shit. But the thing is, my old phone was already on the verge of dying and couldn’t afford to wait another 3 weeks (or more?)

12 pro still a great phone in year 2022 biggrin.gif
doesnt lose much, eventually Switch / Machine selling at discount price also RM300-400 cheaper, you get subsidized from maxis, the subsidized reduce only smile.gif

is 120hz really worth it over the iphone 13 regular?

rm 1k extra for a single feature is really asking a lot.....

Yeah. If RM500 diff, May just get the 256GB version.
Hopefully. Or else, Apple will say, "our client will just stay at 120Hz or else, giving the benefit of 120Hz will defeat the purpose". Lol.
Video got lossless quality? I only know about audio. Hahaha..
Another budget is uGreen. They product quite good quality.
*
have lossless, is the codec they use, certain codec compression is lossless sweat.gif
lossless usually meant more info is retained... so contribute to file size bigger

i have ugreen 65W bought at RM55 during sales, good product, solid build smile.gif

Yeah man.. Diff too insignificant.
But but but, dun forget Apple claim that Pro version can add 2.5hr while Pro Max only 1.5hr oh...
90Hz vs 120Hz, they say actually no much diff. Can't really see it unless pixel peep?
Will u used to the smaller screen. Hahaha... Even my wife using iP8 Plus and try to look at X Pro (not Pro Max), she also can't get used to it. Hahaha..

i think is pro +1.5hrs, pro max +2.5hrs right?

QUOTE(dikae @ Sep 20 2021, 07:48 PM)
Well yes, that’s why they call it 24 months....to add on, the penalty is ‘huge’....for 1 year I think penalty could be around 1400-1800 depending on your package...
Lucky you they still willing to waive off even 30 days...last year they won’t even waive the 14 remaining days I had...they insisted to pay the penalty sweat.gif the manager told me as long as you’re going for the latest iPhone then nothing is negotiable...other phones they can still look into it..could be my luck though..
*
for 1 year remaining contract it wont be 1400-1800 penalty, if one year penalty is 1400, then the device subsidy have to be 2800 - 3600 for 24months contract
because the maximum device subsidize for 512GB wont be more than RM2000 even it is MOP188 24months contract

There is a formula to calculate penalty as below:- Maxis Contract T&C
[(Recommended Retail Price (RRP) – Upfront Cost) x (Remaining month(s) ÷ 24 months)] *upfront can be include advance payment, certain loyal customer not paying any advance so can add 0

Let say MOP128 and iPhone 12 Pro 256GB 24 months
Device RRP => 5399, Maxis Subsidize 1413
If terminate after 12 months, remaining contract 12 months
(5399 - 3986) x (12 / 24) = 706.50

I twitter message maxis last week, my iPhone 11 Pro contract remaining 14 days out of two years which is 14 / 730 days, they reply me penalty is RM27.xx
Device RRP => 5599, Maxis Subsidize 1413
(5599 - 4186) x (14 / 730) = RM27.xx

last time maxis contract early termination have RM100 admin fees, but i cannot find it in the T&C page, maybe no longer applicable
most telcos use similar formula... just whether they charge admin fees or not...

even left 30days or 1month and you want to terminate, it is still WORTH, because you only pay back the penalty as you didnt manage to finish serving your contract, you lose nothing since you already serve 23 months contract, you return the money for one month left telco subsidy sweat.gif **only if you plan to buy another new phone with another 24 months contract

many years i always terminate early for maxis contract, because for me one year maxis contract, one year i buy outright from Apple Online store...
for this year, due to iPhone 11 Pro launch early 27th Sep 2019, so my contract ends on 26 Sep 2021,
for iPhone 12 Pro i bought from Apple Online Store
for iPhone 13 Pro i wish to go with maxis contract, i no need pay any penalty since contract ends
for next year 2022 iPhone i will go back Apple Online Store laugh.gif
for year 2023 iPhone if come out early than 8 Oct in Malaysia, I will fork out a bit on penalty again sweat.gif

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
*
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 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
