Today I just did something I regret. Was carrying local telco pro max midnight green. Saw hkg set available then I was thinking sick of green already so when I got the hkg set today, I choose the space grey one. Now looking at the phone I regret. But too late already. Still prefer midnight green look

Anyone know if can try the leather case at the Apple store? I know they have the displays but really want to hold it with a phone in there.

Yes, I believe you can just pluck it out and try.
If you don't dare to, just approach a genius

The whole lump of black on that pixel 4 is uglier than the 3 lenses on iphone 11
Presentation wise Looks like a cheap plastic toy

Agree. Individual lens on a clear back looks a lot better and Apple’s design still has more class.

Wireless charger and cable from taobao haha. But I did manage to charge to full on this phone using the same wireless charger before. I see there is a new update. Will update and try charging tmr, hope it works. Thanks for trying to help :)

I never trusted cheap types from taobao, qoo10, ezbuy and the likes. Always go for more reputable ones and also for a better peace of mind.

Just to share.

With all modern iPhones shooting photos in HEIC format, which is smaller than even Google's compressed JPG files, while still maintaining quality equal or even better than JPG.

If you use Google Photo backup...

iPhones technically get free unlimited ORIGINAL quality backups simply because it would cost Google both storage space (because if Google tried to compress iPhones HEIC photos they would actually become larger) and computing power (because Google doesn’t need to compress and process all of the billions of photos iPhones backup.)

If a photo is larger than 16MP, it will be resized to 16MP. But iPhone have not hit 16MP yet so we are safe from it being resized

So Apple is literally saving Google millions of dollars by shooting their photos in HEIC and it benefits iPhone users as well because we get free original quality backups cause it is not being compressed at all.
