Likely they will change the entire phone if they diagnose something the problem to be something else rather than just the power button. But you could raise the case to Apple Support online first and see what they say.

anyone that got an iPhone 13 mini from Celcom? I'm looking for one in their store but most seems to have run out of stock and I just realize the process of purchasing a phone from telco is extremely infuriating. or anyone here that happens to work in Celcom can help me, would be much appreciated. thanks

Apologies I didn't list the memory and color that I'm looking for. It's 128GB and Midnight. thanks

Just got my 13 mini today. After 3 weeks of waiting.
Is the whatsApp transfer works now? Saw the article says right now only available on whatsapp beta. It says will roll out a week or 2 after beta. Anyone can confirm?

Guys, do yall really maintain your battery life between 20% to 80% (Not charging it after 80%) in order to maintain the battery life? I'm curious. (IP 13)

Dont so mafan. How much battery you can save anyway. 1 year extra? Smartphone is suppose to give us convenience, seeving our needs. Just fully charge only. Then after 3-4 years then change battery.

nope. never did for all my iPhones; never bother. always plugged in and charge when not using. my iPhones hardy used more than 2 years anyway, before getting bored and upgrade to latest model. if battery really kong then just have it replace at Apple Service Centre.

buy from Apple Store online. Just only gotten another iPhone13 256gb pink for my kid after her Xs mobo spoilt. 3-4 days delivery.
Wish Apple would release product (red) for pro models in the future, else i gotta stick to the basic model again.

True also..hahaha

Got mine within a week
Btw do u guys apply lens protector ?

Wondering if it is worth going for the 13 or save some bucks with the 12? Won't be my main phone but I might play with the iPhone camera a lot, apparently uploads to IG looks better via iPhone than Android.

I went with the iPhone 13 as my secondary phone (photo below) just because of the much better battery performance over the 12, Sensor Shift OIS camera, and Cinematic Video mode. No regrets. ☺️

May I ask if anyone has both the Iphone 12 (regular) vs Iphone 13 (regular).

I'd like to know if its worth the extra price difference if we just talk about the differences. I am interested in the portrait video (How on earth did Apple last this long without it?), but I think some paid apps can do this already.

I am a not a gamer, I dont watch videos but I do a lot of FB and browsing and whatsapping. Most important to me is the camera because I am shutter bug and when travelling and holiday I depend on the phone to keep my memories.

Other than that does it make sense to pay RM400 more?

Is it really worth that much to have 1 more year of software support? I mean as of today IP7 is stop support but I'm pretty sure there are copies out there with refreshed batteries that can still do a decent job as a phone and camera.

I have neither but I have been researching because I am in the same dilemma as you (same interest and usage). I would go for the iPhone 13 because it has cinematic mode for video and Sensor-shift OIS. Not forgetting better battery life as well. Also another extra year of support.

I think right now the price difference is RM300 (both 128GB on Machines Sales). I definitely would go for the 13. (waiting for my new credit card to arrive that requires a min spend to redeem my free online enrolment gift, else I would have order a 13 already)

My friend who is an Iphone fan say i should go for IP13 pro for the macro...Dammit I dont have monehhh so IP13 it is.

Cinematic Video on iPhone 13 series is awesome. I always turn it on especially when taking videos of my kids.

And if you are comparing with 3rd party apps that does this, Apple’s own implementation is on a different level. It’s just way better.

Nope, I always charge to 100% - I don’t charge it overnight or wirelessly though. Had my phone for about 3 months now and battery health is still 100%.

Nah, it’s not necessary.

I’ve had both iPhone 12 and 13 - and the main difference between both phones is the battery life. The iPhone 13’s battery life is significantly better than the 12, however if you’re a light to moderate user (maybe 4-5 hours screen time in a day), both phones should be adequate for your usage. As far as cameras are concerned, most reviewers agree the photo quality is about similar between the 12 and 13 - with the significant improvements only on the Pro models. So then it comes to the additional year of support between the 12 and 13 - and that is highly subjective and depends on users. It’s also worth pointing out that although you won’t get the latest iOS version after 5 years, rest assured Apple will still release vital security patches for older phones - my mum’s iPhone 5S was still receiving security updates last year when I moved her to iPhone 6S.

My humble opinion though is unless you really need an iPhone now, hold off any purchases till the new ones get announced in early September. Even if you do not want to pay the exorbitant prices for the latest models, the existing ones will get a price cut across board, and you’ll get a better bargain. Just 2.5 months or less to go.

Thanks for replying....
I am not really "upgrading"...I already have an Iphone 12 and NEED to buy another one for my wife for her in progress to kaput Android phone. She can stick to a mid ranger android but these days I am not fond of Chinese OEMs, and I will not spend 3k for a Samsung. I only had good will towards Huawei (of P20 and Mate 20) and we know its a broken path.
Whatever happened to Korean phones, they driving themselves to extinction.

So my budget is circa 3.5k for a new phone, if I buy an IP13 I will use it and get an "upgrade" and pass my IP12 to her. She cannot take a good picture even if Andy Warhol was standing next to her. So no point for her to carry the better camera.

The question is whether I should buy another twin ip12 for both of us or I get to enjoice new tech hehe...

My 13 month IP12 is at 93% battery health, once it passed the 6 month it steadily drop till now, 1% per month. I use a very low power charger, charge overnight and have the optimized charging on. Perhaps this is not really the best use method, not sure anyone has better way. I will not charge my phone to 80% and stop there though, that to me will not last the day as I usually use ~80% of battery per day.

Battery health is affected greatly by how you use your phone. If you are using it constantly for 10 hours a day , especially gaming or GPS, it will quickly degrade no matter how good you are at unplugging your phone after charging up to 80%.

In that regard, just go for the iPhone 13.

I can tell from the way you post, your heart is already there.

Don’t get another iPhone 12 and regret. 😇

I can't seem to find a SenHeng with starlight 128GB near me....

(Because can get extra 1 year in house warranty).
