[Singtel] iPhone Pro/13 availability and discussions [No Sales/Trades/Flip]

[HZYiLong]

Totally agree, iPhone nothing special
Btw I am an Apple fan

My current iPhone still good to use
I can wait no queue then buy if wanted

Last time yearly upgrade was impressive, major functionality like Touch ID, Face ID, etc…

Now kinda boring minor upgrades over the past 2 years… I also die-hard Apple fan, just that I feel disappointed… now changing iPhone is like changing for the sake of changing.

Camera upgrade has no significant value to me as I prefer real camera I’d prefer a notchless iPhone or under screen Touch ID, these would be the selling points to many of those who view camera upgrade as minor upgrade.

Me too, the delivery guy open my phone and turn on and say $15 voucher will be send to my email.

Just by turning on, singtel know that it's activated? I didn't even put sim card inside the handphone.

Huh, how come delivery guy will open phone. Normally they dont do that.

People keep sharing to deliver to home for getting sealed telco iPhone...Now just them closing the loophole...

 

[sneggg]

[Glariel]

yea no wonder i can’t get the 5g 100 off

my 5g contract haven’t end

i used the phone for 10mins like no diff from 12 but that’s just me lol

Normal use not much difference

I will be getting the 128GB.
Seems like most people here are heavy users going for higher capacity, 512GB or more.
If it is really due to usage, then it is understandable.

But are there other reasons besides usage?
Eg. for future resale, or for the 4K PRORES?

for future resale, isn't it the same? cos you pay more now. (remember we put usage aside)
for 4K PRORES, is it really useful for normal consumers? I heard even 1 min of 4K PRORES video is going to take up 6GB!!

Remember there's no consumer level camera on market now (let alone mobile phone) that's capable of taking ProRes internally. So normal consumer will benefit? highly unlikely. In addition, we dont know the variants of ip13 ProRes, likely an exclusive to iphone that's more compress.

Lastly ProRes format will not "make" your video better, its solely for post production. Then again, the nxt qns is why post production video shoot by iphone?

 

[Glariel]

Kind of funny Pro Res video 1 minute only take up 6GB

 

[sneggg]

oh is it like this should get the 128gb haha

Managed to get 2 sets of 13PM SB 1TB. Waited less than 5 mins for my number. Got free gourmet coffee on the house too. Overall process was very smooth.

Can I check with the experts here, is it possible to ask not to open the box when getting your new iPhone from telco? From SingTel/StarHub/M1?

ALL iPhone that leave the store MUST be unboxed and activated! No matter how you ask or how you argue, no means no. It is a store policy.

I understand PRORES is for post video production.
And yes exactly! for serious pro videography that needs post production, why use iPhone?
So I feel we should select the phone capacity purely based on usage, and not based on resale and 4K PRORES.

Yes, and PopStation collection.

Sometimes when you’re out travelling, you don’t want to carry heavy camera gears, iPhone come in handy.

Or you’re out walking, suddenly feel creative, but you don’t have your pro camera with you, iPhone also come in handy.
