Latest News:  iphone 13

With the new announcement of the iPhone 15 series, the older iPhones on the Apple Malaysia website got a new slashed price as per tradition. Not only the pro variants of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 13 series are gone, but the iPhone 13 mini was removed as speculated. 

Since 2021, Apple gave consumers an option to get an iPhone 12 mini variant and that went on until the iPhone 13 series. According to Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, there is a serious stock shortage of the iPhone 13 mini.

Xiaomi is reportedly set to release the Xiaomi Civi 2 in the global market as the Xiaomi 13 Lite 5G soon. Interestingly, the device has a pill-shaped camera cutout on its screen that’s very similar to the Dynamic Island found on the iPhone 14 Pro series.

In case you didn't know, there is a brand new Machines store in Pavilion Bukit Bintang and today is the grand opening launch. To celebrate the occassion, the store's special promotion on various Apple products is also on sale.

iOS 16 finally brought back the iPhone’s battery percentage indicator after a 5-year absence, though it was missing from certain ‘smaller’ iPhones with Face ID during launch simply because there was not enough space. Thankfully, it has been rectified by Apple and now, all iPhones with a notch or display cutouts have this feature.

This year, Apple decided to do away with the iPhone mini lineup for the iPhone 14 Series and instead release a new ‘Plus’ smartphone for the vanilla iPhone 14. Well, it seems that bigger is not always better as the pre-orders for the iPhone 14 Plus are actually worse than the iPhone 13 mini during its launch last year.

As per tradition, older iPhone models will become cheaper whenever a new iPhone series is announced. However, that's not really the case for the Malaysian market. Due to inflation, the iPhone SE (3rd Gen) apparently got more expensive whereas the iPhone 13 series and iPhone 12 prices only dropped a bit.

A poor signal can be a pain in the a*s for smartphone users. However, have you ever wondered if your device is doing better than other smartphones while that happens? According to this test conducted by the editors from the Chinese blog Mydrivers, the iPhone 13 appears to be the worst compared to other top Android devices for internet reception quality.

Apple is reportedly planning to ditch the SIM card slot on its iPhones and instead only provide support for eSIM. In fact, the company may even release an eSIM-only iPhone 14 series model for certain regions this September.

The next-generation Apple iPhone lineup may be getting a considerable price bump due to the disruption to the global supply chain. This is according to Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives, which in the latest report by his firm believed that the upcoming iPhone 14 may get a USD100 or ~RM443 price increase compared to its predecessor.
