i would say don pay for what u not needed, if u don need more than 128 now then in future it very likely u don need also. by the time u wanna upgrade to 256GB, it your time to change new iphone. i hv been using 256GB for past few iphone and never use more than 128GB, so i will just stick to 128, save money and keep it for next iphone.

Well, if 300 is not much for the buyer, why not?

That's for me at least

I agree with this.

When I purchased iPhone 7 128GB, was because my iPhone 6s 64GB was almost used up. But when it was time to upgrade from iPhone 7 to 11, I remained at 128GB because at that point in time my usage was roughly 70GB

And now my free space is ~15GB, so it's time to get the iPhone 13 256GB. Assuming I bought the iPhone 11 @ 256GB, it would be unnecessary because I will still upgrade to the iPhone 13 now (2 years contract cycle)

I like the flip too but is Samsung UI better? Camera, battery, and video better?

My Samsung tablet a can't even run zoom without crashing, made the passcode icon smaller with sound and haptics enabled, can't check battery health

Samsung UI < iOS UI in terms of usability, although I have to say that iOS UI design has been stale for a couple of years now. I understand that Apple can't shake up the design like Android does without scaring away the boomers who depend on it. Cameras and battery definitely iPhone wins. Plus I have an MBP and an iPad so I won't entirely leave the Apple ecosystem.

Remember when the first iPhone came out and how the entire world was excited about multi touch? Same thing happened with iPhone 4 design, Touch ID, iPhone X going (almost) full screen. When was the last time you felt that excitement from an iPhone release?

That wow factor is long gone from iPhone. That need to be wowed again before I open my wallet is just a personal thing for me. Hoping that iPhone 14 at least changes its design (throwback to iPhone 4 also I won't mind), or pull off some miracle like under screen FaceID or a new UI design language.

do you guys think the price of IP12 will further reduce by october? or it will just stay at the current revised price of rm300 below IP13?

i love the pink

the only thing concerning now is the real life battery performance on iphone 13 mini

if its still mediocre despite the good promises, might as well go for regular 13

as for the charging port, can opt for wireless charging, its not a big deal breaker

I can’t see Apple coming up with a flip or fold form factor till they think they can absolutely nail it, so I doubt you’ll see anything groundbreaking from Apple in the foreseeable future. The Z flip and fold are interesting phones no doubt, but might not be everyone’s cup of tea. Do enjoy and share your review on the Flip!

Wow factor i get what you mean when I first play with iphone 3gs. I have been using best phone in the world at time of released, HTC incredible s, HTC one M7 last time.

The best camera phone is Asus or vivo now according to dxomark. But still i think the UI is lacking.

I just want a phone that works now. Apps that works with the phone. Not hang, lag, crashed, need to debug, check forums for fixes, transfer messages, soft reset and keep relogin to apps

Yes, pls share flip review. Cause you can't even trust YouTuber nowadays or their script missing out basic usage functions like making calls, drop calls, clear or not.

this year all the colours look nice.

I'm old school. Will go for starlight/white but need to see the model first at shop

I kinda like the blue - looks more subtle than the one on the 12

price for IP12 will go down for sure, but doubt if it will by October though... may be around Nov or early Dec...

my history with apple stated with ip 4s

now using ip6s

planing to change to ip 12s but apple change name to ip13
so ip13 is the improvemnet of 12

i will get mini version because i love small and powerfull phone

currently ising ip6s with 64g storage

ip13 mini 128g is really good for me

the white color look damn nice

accoding to apple this ip13 mini is the last version and no more mini after this

so malaysia can place an order?

Rumored that iphone 13 base models have 4GB RAM same as ip12.

If that's the case, i may go for ip12 model instead of ip13 mini

Have bought every iPhone since iPhone 4 and the Mini 13 would be a good choice if you like small phones and you are not a heavy user - otherwise you might need a powerbank of sorts. Apple hasn't officially announced the discontinuation of the Mini line after 13 but most industry experts believe this would be the last one as sales numbers are not good.

ya nice and cool ! but the price.....

My wife will be getting a IP13 Pro. She is now using a IP11 Pro max and IP 8+. The new one will replace the IP 8+. Considering that she don't use much phone these days I guess its ok not to get the max version. Most of her personal screen time are now done on the Ipad

As for me still considering either IP13 or IP13 mini. Currently using Samsung Note 20 Ultra with 2 sims ( personal/office). I am thinking for me to carry a Samsung Note and IP13 would be a huge burden on my pocket. Mainly will be using the IP13 for photos (Note take horrible fast moving objects) and maybe slight office email. The IP13 mini is interesting but i am just worried it might be just too small for me. On the other handling IP13 and Note 20 is going to be difficult as well. And i am really interested in the pink version. hahaha
Any thoughts on this?
