Take this 30 mins test and see which pictures you prefer. Don't let him/his voice & opinions influence you. Pause the video the moment the pictures/videos are shown.

I took the test using my N20U split screen.

The 12P wins for me. 2nd place is N20U. 3rd 11P.

Hello everyone, I'm currently switching over from my Samsung S10+ back into the Apple ecosystem. Is the 12 pro a significant upgrade? Also planning to get an Apple watch to pair with it, still deciding between the SE or the Series 5.

Hello everyone, I'm currently switching over from my Samsung S10+ back into the Apple ecosystem. Is the 12 pro a significant upgrade? Also planning to get an Apple watch to pair with it, still deciding between the SE or the Series 5.

just sharing my experience thus far, with me coming from Pixel 4 XL paired with Gamin Fenix 5 and my wife coming from Samsung S9+ and Samsung Galaxy Watch.
we are now using iPhone 12 pro and regular, paired with Apple Watch SEs.

Other than the generational improvements in the hardware, what amazes me most is the cohesion of the iOS ecosystem. An example is when I updated the Pixel to Android 11. Apps that worked well on Android 10 are suddenly laggy and malfunctioning. Another example is how fitness is tracked on the Apple Watch and the information sync-ed to other 3rd party sites like LumiHealth. It is way more seamless and smooth compared to how Healthy 365 performs on Android.

Also the migration to Apple is made even sweeter if you have close friends and family members in the same Apple ecosystem. Even though its gimmicky, my wife and I love to send silly memoji to each other that is not possible on whatsapp. Sharing is made easier with iCloud, airdrop and if you like google services, google photos is still available.

To my surprise, I like the photos and videos from the iPhone 12 Pro better than Pixel 4 XL that is widely touted as best in mobile photography. Daytime photos are neck-to-neck, however, nightmode photography processing on the 12 is almost immediate while the P4XL takes 3 – 4 seconds of processing.

That said, iOS is not without its cons. MRT gantry scanning via SimplyPay on Apple is still a pain as it requires verification while Samsung Pay and Google Pay is just easier. No PIP mode for Youtube Premium subscribers.

Actually not much difference from IP 11.

At least with ur apple watch just need to double press the button to bring out apple pay, no verification required haha less 1 step
Hope LTA and apple can faster come out with the express transist

I ordered iPhone 12 Pro with Pacific Blue, pickup from Apple Orchard. But I consider getting a full refund because Pro Max would be suitable for me...

But I just worried about will they charged me 25% restocking fees, unless we're bought directly from Apple Retail Store. Can anyone advise?

Why would they charge a restocking fee?

With the gantry scanner on our right, i am considering wearing the watch on my right hand.. if not, the awkward flex is actually quite inconvenient

Some great posts have already been made, so I'm prolly not adding more info but, yeah, don't make any comparisons to Android hardware cuz you'll never be happy. Just go all in, immerse yourself in the Apple ecosystem, enjoy it for the benefits that brings, then just switch in a few years time if you feel like it.

On its own merits, I think the IP12 is a great device, especially if you're coming from a 2-3 year old handphone, or if you're jumping in from Android. Popular opinion would be that it's a poor upgrade only if you have last year's 11 but that doesn't apply to you, so go for it

Apple stores have replenished stocks. I cancelled my 20 Nov delivery and going to collect later instead

This? From apple.c om/sg/shop/help/returns_refund
(Remove the space from link because I cannot post URL yet.)

nah, they don’t really charge those fees - it will be a full refund

The new Speedtest champ. Apple just add 2gb more ram to become 6gb and Android no need to compete with it’s whatever 12gb or 16gb ram though is not real life usage.

 

[bedlamite]

I think speedtests only really appeal to spec junkies, who're more often than not Android fans (I don't even mean user, I mean fan, like people who actually like the operating OS and stan for it on forums or comments sections. Typical users just won't care because all CPUs these days are bladdy fast).

Stuff like RAM optimisation is why I didn't mind hopping back onto iOS. You just can't beat Apple's hardware/software optimisation, and when you contrast it to the ever-escalating spec wars on Android, stuff like 16GB RAM on a phone starts to look more than a bit silly. When my phone eventually ends up having more RAM than my damn PC desktop, i think we have a problem here.

Optimisation. One of the plus when you have full control of hardware and software, from device to OS to apps.

On the other side, manufacturer just throws you tons and tons of power and resources, and Android consumes everything.

Both has it's pros and cons I suppose

So these returned sets will be refurbished ? And then send out as replacement set for those sets that are having issues ?

i do not know if they are used as support units, but i know they will refurbish and sell them. apple online store has a section where they sell these units.

Can i just get the cable as spare and use on my note10plus adapter?

But I've not seen iPhones appearing under refurbished for long time now.

It's always flooded by Macbooks and sometimes you can find iPads
