Hi planning to join the apple fam and abandoning my old dino age android. But got some confusion ah. Planning to get the 13 128gb but was wondering is there any benefit of going pro or pro max besides bigger battery, better screen, camera and the pretty blue XD. My usage is like casual use and social media. Maybe like 1hour of moba gaming daily? Cause I've been thinking if go with 13 got extra money to get apple watch also haha
*
If budget is not as issue then by all means go for 13 pro, for every obvious reasons.
Also depends if you think it’s a much better deal getting 13 + watch over 13 pro....but if watch is not important to you then just grab the 13 pro, especially if you’re into gaming, pro is not just smoother with Ltpo 120hz, but also much greater battery lasting...

Mine is a normal 60hz phone only so not much to adapt la. For me normal screen is enough no need high refresh rate.
Yea not a power user and I dont really take alot of pics also maybe just the occasional pic for ig 2-3x a year 😂😂😂
If I go for 13pro then probs will skip the watch dy but then I prefer to get a smartwatch la cause I like the features more. Gaming actually not alot also just a casual pkayer leh
*
Then just grab the 13 and the watch, 2 is better than 1 right? smile.gif for me though, i’ll get the 13 pro, especially if I’m planning to use it a couple of years before next upgrade..

13 and 13 mini still got chance for ready stocks, but very limited and have to go around to check..switch and itworld might have some, machines most likely only pre-order...good luck!

I remember the 12 and 12 Mini quite easy to get last year, except for maybe green and blue colours. Black and Product Red were like ready stock at most places. I walked into SenQ 1U to get my 128GB Product Red 12 just two or three weeks after the launch, no issues.

This year I think everyone play safe and order very limited units for every model, worry economy bad can’t sell off, mana tau sales still skyrocket even more than previous year biggrin.gif

There's also the ongoing chip shortage. Want to make more also cannot. Apple's already been rumored to further cut iPhone production due to lack of chips. It's really bad. In some countries one year old used cars can be sold for new price (maybe higher) because dealerships can't get stock. It's even worse for certain industrial sectors.

Add to that the the affects of Covid lockdowns/restrictions on other parts of the supply chain. Assembly itself in China isn't really affected much now, but certain suppliers for components like gyro chips (Malaysia is also a supplier and our factories were operating at half capacity for months), micro ultrasonic motors for lens focusing, sensors for cameras, linear actuators for the taptic engine, special film used in LED production, etc all having supply issues. Apple's already a priority customer and if they got problems (I suspect the display issues with the new iPad Mini is a victim of some of these issues), one can only imagine how bad it is for the rest of the industry.
*
yeap agree its bad...but dont lose hope... coz anything can happen, 2 days back I went to switch paradigm to check out their ipad mini and kepoh ask for iphone 13... surprisingly they have 1 available iphone 13 pro 128gb blue in the store, during these times when everyone can't find anything at all, there comes 1 biji available somemore in PJ prime area...so yea, sometimes just need to make a trip to the outlets instead of checking stocks on website or call ups.. you might be surprised with the outcome.. go on weekdays though at least theres a little higher hope when everyone else's working smile.gif

I thought once you go big you can't go back? Hahaha

I used the Plus size phones since the iPhone 6, but did try the smaller X and 12 - somehow still miss the larger screen and better battery life, of course!
*
I’m those who go big and can’t go back, having used max for few years, I can’t even go back to 5.8” now, not to mention mini size, especially the anxiety of having to check my batt % all the time will kill me slowly...but I think I can still accept 6.1” biggrin.gif

Today Machines sent out my iphone.
Their timing so shit.. public holiday coming people sure take leave some might go oustation (especially now after so long lockdown).

I suppose to go outstation with family tomorrow.. now plans got affected coz just saw they passed it to Gdex today at noon.

Padahal on their site they told me 22nd October 2021 ship out. Send email that time also they confirm me same thing.
But today... suddenly ship out the phone earlier. And choose such a timing also. Why didn't do it earlier few days ago??? Why choose Friday to ship out???? Really big WTF.  ranting.gif  vmad.gif  mad.gif  bangwall.gif

My last time preordering a phone. Enough. doh.gif
*
Such a bad timing mad.gif perhaps call up gdex to put it on hold and you pick it up yourself when you’re back?

Just order mine via apple site couple days ago. It stated that the phone expected to reach me from 22-26oct. Is it possible that it would reach me before the date? Haha sorry i just cant wait.

Almost pull the trigger for the 12mini before the 13 launching back then. Luckily i wait a bit. Hopefully its more worth it!
*
What was the delivery date stated on the official receipt? (Not the progress status on website) but the official receipt sent to you after item being shipped out., that date should be the accurate delivery.

13 mini definitely more worthy than 12 mini, battery alone is already it...smile.gif

The 13 definitely have much superior battery than the 12, they have somewhat screwed up the batt on the 12, even the battery health drop is a mystery...they must have figured out the issue and rectified it that’s why the 13 lineups battery are much more stable, thank god. and hell yea even the 11 batts are way better than the 12 dry.gif

This is true.

I’ve seen some 12 with maybe 3-6 months usage, the battery health is like 83-85%  doesn’t make sense.

I used the 11 pro for over 6 months and it didn’t drop 1 % also during my usage.

my ip11pm also had like 96% after a year using...and I use it more than the 12pm..dry.gif

Just curious i also wan to place an order for this using my credit card, how long it takes for them (apple) to reflect your purchases transaction in your credit card if u view via the banking app? Is it 1-2 days?
*
It depends on how fast Apple request from your bank, normally it will be within 2-4 days, definitely not more than 7 days coz after 7 days if no clearance then it will be automatically cancelled.

It’s fine to use it, iphone 13PM caps at 27w max regardless of your adapter power..

I’m planning to buy 13 mini from a seller and he said it’s My set. Whereas as I know last year’s 12 series has Zp set written in the serial number for malaysian market.

So just wanna make sure whether My set for 13 series really exist, coz i dont want trouble when it comes to warranty claim

QUOTE(piringkosong @ Oct 17 2021, 12:15 PM)
If i were in your shoe, i’ll buy from authorized shop instead. Applestore, switch, machine etc. Confirm MY set and got warranty.

When in doubt its better to go for the trusted one even you have to spend extra rm100 or so. This device is not cheap yo.
*
It has been all ZP set since iPhone 12, no more MY sets besides some AASP display units have MY set..

The seller you mention is from which shop?
