News & Reviews:   iPhone 12 pre-order

If you have skipped the iPhone 12 series pre-order last week to wait for the availability today, well now it's the time. Here's a friendly reminder than all four iPhone 12 models - the iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro and the iPhone 12 Pro Max are now in Malaysia and we happen to be one of the first few countries to have all four models.

Previously, we wrote about which Apple iPhone 12 series smartphone would be the right one for you based on features and needs. Now the latest iPhones are finally available in Malaysia, with prices starting from RM3399 on Apple Malaysia's official website. Not only that, but it's also available for pre-order via telco companies such as Digi, Celcom, Maxis, as well as U Mobile.

The iPhone 12 series smartphones are just around the corner and the pre-order campaign will begin this Friday (6 November)! For the first time, Apple released four iPhone models and it got many people wondering which one is the best deal out of the bunch. Well, since everyone has different needs, we came up with a guide on which iPhone 12 model is best suited for you.

Right after iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro became available, many media nerds and geeks have been testing out the battery performance on the new iPhones. Previously, we reported that turning on 5G would drain the battery capacity a lot but turns out that they aren't so great in mobile gaming as well.

For reference, the Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter is RM99. So, we compiled a list of trusted third-party manufacturers of power adapters that we have used throughout the years, with official online store links included. Without further ado, these are the recommended third-party chargers (on a discount) for new iPhone 12 series buyers.

Today, the iPhone 12 series pre-order dates for the Malaysian market have been announced! A quick check at all the telco websites have confirmed that the pre-order date will start on 6 November 2020 at 9PM, alongside the availability date which is 13 November 2020 which the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max will make their debut globally.

iPhone battery topics are popular for two reasons - the battery capacity is usually never disclosed by Apple during their presentation and hardcore geeks have to find it out by themselves. We have written some news about the latest iPhone 12 series battery capacity but here's an interesting one - the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro have the same battery capacity (lol).

Previously, there was some news that the A14 Bionic chipset of the iPhone 12 series scored lower than the Snapdragon 865+ chipset. Back then, the iPhone 12 series were not released yet so we took that news with a pinch of salt. But now that the  iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro are rolled out, the official benchmark scores are in and have debunked the previous news.

As more and more information about the iPhone 12 series is being released, we came across some interesting news about its battery life when connected to 5G. The battery test was done by Tomsguide.com and the results are mixed, which can also imply that other 5G smartphones could experience the same when 5G becomes mainstream in the future.

Since the Apple Watch Series 6 and Watch SE are already available in Malaysia, many wondered when will it be the iPhone 12 series turn. Although it's not official yet, Lazada just posted a teaser that the iPhones are coming soon with some good hints.
