If you're the long distance runner/fitness freak type that cares only about battery life and GPS, HR and sleep tracking, I totally suggest Huawei GT Runner. 14 days battery life and accurate GPS signal. Extremely lightweight at below 40g as well.

Seeing that ios 15.4 with Facemask ID coming out soon, can foresee more people opting out of using Applewatch  bye.gif

Garmin Epix. So nice looking.

If its true that the rest of the world (other than europe) is getting an inferior chip compared to S21 ultra or Xiaomi's phone, then Samsung has some explaining to do  rclxms.gif

Malaysia getting Snapdragon this time around if not mistaken.

Samsung S22 (especially Ultra) is a strong contender. MKBHD calling it the iPhone of Android.. Apple don’t up their game, Samsung gonna catch up soon.

opinion only.
"Overall, the 13 Pro is a great phone to have and a nice upgrade from your XR. Enjoy the phone!"

101% i agree!! i need to suit my self.
****************

let me share other thing;

- sound great from 2 speaker, and it stereo.. however i feel it too high pitch. to much noisy.. this on all sound, video watch, social media.. for music yes controllable with music EQ, i choose treble reducer, a relieve. pheww.. but not overall sound control.
- battery 2 days extra look promising
- no charger provide a bit off to me. but i use ipad air, which come free, 2 year device, somemore with type C! loorrrr.. does justification on pricing? lower cost, no charger?
- for camera, great i got 3 now to explore. heee.. capture image produce nice. only thing, when snap picture, then i preview the image immedietely, those capture image still look in processing ( likely 0.2-0.5 sec delay - blur and then sharp) on sunny light or any situation. i do feel it having processing delay for output. well it me only or not. cos by large image size? im not satisfy on this.. no , im not enable proRaw or ProRes..
- another side, u not having option for Macro shoot, unless it detect near focus object.. not helping in situation.. or does we have specific macro switch? shotcut how?
- as for video, still no option 720p x 60 fps.. the reason, most, and likely all phone user, video i share among whatsapp, facebook use with handheld device/phone.. not necessary 1080p or fullHD capable. if purpose to share on tv/monitor, yes HD is useful.

ok will share more .. come kick me ..
*
Macro switch is there, with 15.X (don't remember exactly but you update the latest, it will be there). Once u go near an object, a macro icon appears.

video HD or not. Well that depends on yourself. Apple is trying to market, most poeple the non-pro models. The creator, people who wants the best of best (flagship), go for pro/pro max.


QUOTE(attw @ Feb 25 2022, 10:31 AM)
Yup, the speakers on the 13 Pro series is the best I've heard from any smartphone so far. As for no chargers, well, even Samsung has moved in that direction. Battery life on the 13 Pro Max lasted me two days with total of 10 hours screen time and close to 44 hours of standby. For lighter users, am sure the 13 Pro battery can go the distance too!

Will let the camera experts revert to you on your other opinions.

Oh, and we are all nice folks, we don't kick people here...

I know we all nice folks.. but we dont kick people here? Didn't get the latest memo... whistling.gif

Anyone know 2nd hand price for IP 11 128GB? Feels like upgrading to 13PM, or should I wait 14? No urgency at all anyway
*
Well now is March. November or December is where the release. That’s 8-9 months away. If you can wait, why not. If me, I’m kiasu to have the device as soon and start using. Waiting for so many months, seems to depreciate the worth. 😁

Value will always depreciate if you concern with trade in price.

First day going out since 15.4 dropped.

Faceid with mask totally didn’t work. I had to reset it and redo whole new scanning process. Thankfully After that, started working. The animation of unlocking definitely feels it takes a bit longer to scan. 😄

Battery life reports coming up, could be due to 120hz lifted for 3rd party apps since earlier this as only apple apps can utilize.

For me first few days quite bad. I think probably backend processing or something?

Battery health still showing up 100%. Anyone has dropped? Just curious

Are you using "3D" masks that sticks out? If yes then you need to look down or raise the phone higher.

Usually 1-2 days after iOS updates battery will drain faster due to the indexing process.
*
Nahh… just the flat ones. Talking about “3D” mask, if I wear those, faceid will prompt to “look down” to unlock.

Yes, I guess so. 1-2 days indexing. Somehow the phone not as sluggish also with the new update.

Hi guys! I just join the bandwagon for 13pm laugh.gif Was an IOS user since 2G - 5G then join the green side and now am back again. Anyways a quick question here -

Can the recent new itunes accept MY credit payment if my itunes country is US based? I was on gift card method previously, not sure if I still need to stick to the same method.
*
Last I tried. Cannot. Ended up.. just switching iTunes to MY store and using MY credit card to make payment.

Actually price wise.. MY is “cheaper”.

Usd song 99c, RM3.90. If currency conversion, should be >= rm4.

Anyone using hoda sapphire lens protector? Does it effect the camera in the long term? On socmed right now many ppl remove the lens protector because it will harm the camera. Is it true?
*
I’m using. Either I’m blind.. but I don’t see any downside.

Long term? Been using half a year since iPhone 13PM.

Before that iPhone 12PM. That’s like 2 years plus. I removed it since my sister manage to drop the phone and hit the sapphire lens protector. (In this case, everyone thinks me buying and putting lens is worthwhile).

Don’t see any harm to it also… can share the links or elaborate what harm?

How is esim security wrt to simswap? Concerned about this especially if hacker can get access to your sim, there goes your bank acc mate
*
I think it’s not as easy as you make it. It’s not fool proof but not as simple nor more secure than physical sim.

So long reading iphone 11, 12 and now 13 threads. Everytime change phone, the existing QR code can’t be reused. Need to go to telco to get a new code.

It’s definitely true for maxis.

Can consider brands like Anker, Aukey, ugreen. Seen past posts it’s good.

I personally using Anker. Small and compact. Got it during sale, like rm40 or so if I remember correctly.

It has pre-requisites. The article also mention, technically "Technically, it's still in beta right now, with WhatsApp saying it'll take a week or two for it to fully roll out."

Updated. So far, no issues yet. Battery life, been roughly the same based on hourly/percentage wise usage.

If release iOS 16, the new iPhone isn’t the first to get it? how can… ranting.gif

Considered minor bug fixes, right?

Yes.

Apple maintains like a definition, 15.6.1. 15 is major, 6 is minor and 1 is patch.

4th of July, Flolab has discount for the screen protectors. “Ke-backside-itchiness” kicked in.

Got the anti bacterial, 13PM. Applied it today, looks good.

Installation wise after used Hoda (Sapphire), X-One, Flolab.

1) installation guide - Hoda and Flolab provides
2) The glue “easy to apply” by order of easiest to hardest - X-One, Flolab, Hoda.
3) Oleophobic coating, feel. - Flolab and Hoda the best. X-One comes later (but given the price, X-one is half the price).

Gonna use this Flolab longer to see how it performs. First time buying.

If you are in Sunway, you can try IT World ASC at Sunway Geo. 1st floor, facing outwards towards Sunway Medical Center.

Yes, thats one place i go to. Only thing, cons, nothing to do around sunway Geo while waiting.

Pretty sure Hotlink doesn't have call forwarding feature. Even Maxis, you need to activate it. Call Hotlink first to confirm.

why is it a taboo here?
I am now thinking if i wanna get the apple leather wallet but not sure if it's going to be useful or not.

U search the V1/V2 thread... not many fans of Apple leather cases.

Apple leather wallet? I would suggest skipping it. Below is viewpoint from all my friends who went that route.

1) Unless now itself, you wallet/purse is already so minimalistic, you gonna feel weird
2) While the idea looks good, always sticking behind your phone, gets tired. Exm. mount to car dashboard, mini tripod, use to record video, take pictures. The wallet becomes a hindrance.

So u need to be very specific on your usage and "tolerance" on using it.
