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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
