Finally jumping ship from my Samsung Note 9 to iPhone on my primary number.

Just a quick question, anyone use one iCloud to backup two WhatsApp account?

At the moment, I have an iPhone 12 on my secondary number which is set on auto backup to iCloud on WhatsApp.

I was planning to backup my primary number WhatsApp to same iCloud account after transfer from Note 9.

Do you guys think possible? I know Google Drive can do that

256GB because I already have iCloud 2TB.
6 more days to think and decide.
Buy new AirPods Pro. icon_idea.gif
Can complain to TMT and also Apple.

Do 256GB is enough for your daily usage?

At the moment, I’m using around 200GB on my note 9. I won’t be transferring the stuff to iPhone. Just WhatsApp around 40GB. I can’t decide to get 256GB or 512GB…

So far enough for me, I’m only around 130GB and I took a lot of videos. Let’s see if it’s going to be enough for me after I change to 15PM. laugh.gif
It’s ok, I have the link already. I used to check for iPad Mini 6 in the past and I forgot about the steps. Anyway, it’s not blocked. Public still can access. I just want to check if U2 is available but not yet approved.

Hmm. Since you also just planning to get 256GB. I think may consider getting 256GB rather than 512GB.

QUOTE(westlife @ Sep 17 2023, 05:16 PM)
If u intend to keep ur photos or videos as long as u can or u really intend to use ProRaw and ProRes format. Having 512gb and above will give you more flexibility in future.
Do note that especially ProRes video takes up a lot of space at 4k to shoot video.

If u are really a light user, 256gb is also ok especially worst case scenario u need additional space, usb-c allows u to connect external storage to do so. But if u ask me, quite rarely one will do that if u are really taking videos outside Becos I think it will be very weird to connect external storage when shooting video outside.

This round can tell that 256gb and 1TB are equally more popular than 512gb. I think this is the same as concert tickets, the cheapest and most expensive are always sold out first.
*
At the moment, I have 2TB iCloud shared with family. I almost forgotten about ProRaw and ProRes avaialble on Pro models until you mention it. I don't think I will be using much of it unless I have to take RAW images to edit at home.

Alright, few days to consider which capacity to get biggrin.gif

It’s difficult to convince myself to spend 7.5k on just a phone. I must be insane. Even 6.5k already sounded crazy to me. laugh.gif My partner spent RM 8.5k for 1TB, I’m like OK but I cannot..

Right? RM7500 for just a phone.. I could get a Macbook Pro 14 with abit topup doh.gif

Ok, after check with some shop, below is information I get.


  • Machines at Shopping Mall A - I nearly want to complain to Machines head quarter after I heard what she told me, she said they not honour you to be first priority if you preorder from machines.com instead from the shop itself, they will priority to whoever order from shop and those choose pickup from their shop but order from machines.com will not be priority and will not getting the 1st badge. What?

  • Machines at Shopping Mall B - they will priority whoever order from machines.com or their shop, but they cannot guarantee you are in the 1st badge or not, this depends on how many units they get.

  • Urban Republic / Switch at Shopping Mall B (both is same company but Switch is selling 100% Apple product only where Urban Republic selling any brand of mobile) - they guarantee whoever success order online on 22 Sep will get on 29 Sep and they suggest user order immediately from Urban Republic or Switch online store.

Both Machines said their shop don't have Maybank RM 250 voucher from machines.com but both said their shop is actually provide the RM 150 voucher from UOB, the voucher is only valid for CC and not DC and can only purchase accessories from Apple brand only, not third party brand, the accessories doesn't include product like another iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, AirPods, MacBook and etc. The accessories means original Apple charger, cable, and case.

After knowing what Machines told me, Machines is out from my plan to preorder.
I will choose apple.com and if unable to get nice order date, then I will decide to choose Urban Republic / Switch.
*
In my experience pre-order with Switch. Usually, they will allocate specific units for Shopee/Lazada, website and walk in pre-order on pre-order day.

On the website, once the batch is sold out they will put a remark as no longer be able to collect/being delivered on the launching date. However, I managed to secure one unit at Shopee and receive on the launching date.

No they literally and  ‘accidentally’ told me 139 minimum for iphone 15’s laugh.gif

Wow RM139. I was hoping there is RM109 plan. I think this time I will purchase the phone outright.

Hopefully can pre-order from switch as they have add on option for second year warranty for RM99 only. Last time RM49 only lol

Done pre-order with Switch on Maxis plan.

For those who do not wish to wait for Maxis. Head to Switch website choose pre order with Maxis.

Did you get SMS/call/email like the others? Or just the Switch CS say you are in first batch?

I am still waiting patiently for sms/call/email for collection @ Switch QB, ordered around 12.06 am

I have two emailed from Switch. One is order confirmation and second one mention the device available pickup from 29th but no SMS at all.

I decided to give them a call just to double check

Interesting to see these demo units have so little cycle count considering they’re charged 12 hours a day since the launch..

You will be surprised to know that even after the end of the demo life and the battery health remains around 98-100%

I managed tested few demo units and I was surprise when I saw the health.

I just found out something very funny if you are using one Apple ID on two iPhones.

- if you receive any call on a different iPhone, the total lifetime call will count on both iPhones.
- the call history will be shared on both iPhones. I have disabled all sorts of settings on iCloud but still share them across both iPhones.

Anyone has same issue and found any solution?

Bite the bullet and just create another apple id under family for the other person. Trust me, it will solve all your current and future issues. No need to reinstall apps and such. Can even share purchases.

I still couldnt find a way to solve it..
yet to bother me that much that force me to create family Id as suggested above
What a fail camera lip design.. haih..
Not protecting the camera lens at all..
what are they thingking.. camera lens is protecting the casing camera lip.. huhu..
Yup, that should be our annual default straight away solution if found out issue at the 1st time launching them.. delete & re-install

No choice then, I will use another Apple ID for my other iPhone. How about iCloud photo can be shared between two different Apple ID?

Would AirPod still work without keep paring?

Airpod can pair with 2 devices, but the first device will be priority connection.
Newly transfer or major software update will always drain battery for the first few days for indexing etc
Congrats bro! I just finished setting up my wife’s iPhone. Now helping her on banking apps

Yup, will it still be seamless connection? If shared same Apple ID, the AirPods can connect automatically to the iPhone or iPad whichever is using that time without needed to connect manually.

Any good MagSafe car mount recommended ?

You maybe consider this ORBIT Car Mount. I just purchased one and I’m impress with the quality and the magnet are strong. However, you need a MagSafe compatible case or you can stick the ring on the case.

https://s.lazada.com.my/s.hQQYL

For using Apple MagSafe, you can stick the magnet ring on back of Apple MagSafe so it will works like this

Actually i don’t like to use air-vent car holder also, but i can’t seem to find one that can stick onto the dashboard without using the 3M stickers.

How do u normally stick the car mount on the dashboard? Using 3M stickers or suction cup? If sticker, won’t the sticker melt and permanently stuck on the dashboard, making it hard to remove or causing permanent scarring and staining on the dashboard?
*
I have one UGreen car mount stick on the dashboard using the 3M stickers. After 5 years, the mount still holds. So far I didn’t see any sign of melting.

For Orbit car mount, they recommend apply 3M Primer first. I’m not sure it will helps to reduce staining or not.

Maybe you can try stick on gloss surface, as those 3M sticker can be easily remove using some WD40 or alcohol. Correct me if I’m wrong.
