It did take a while, but I've circle of friends who are ready to receive my electronics secondhand, although with the way I take care of my items, it might as well be brand new to them. For them, I even allow installment payments, which makes the proposition of buying items from me, even more seductive. But these friends have to be really close to me, else it's full payment.

Before that, it was sold in the Garage Sales forum. Pickup from there is a bit slow, and with the audience in this forum skewing towards younger audience with low purchasing power, I had to look elsewhere most of the time to sell my pre-loved devices. Tired of getting bombarded with "Best price please" or "trade with <insert device here> and topup <insert amount here>". A sale is a sale, not a trade or a topup, but it's a sign of impatience in young people these days: they dont bother taking time to read and want fast response on their terms only.

Hot off the presses!

The App Thinning/App Slicing feature that laid dormant in your current iOS 9.0.2 is now working. App Thinning allows you to download only the specific version of the app for your device without also downloading the portion meant for other devices. Meaning if there are apps developed for both iPhone and iPad, until now, the version you've downloaded are meant to work universally between both iPhones and iPads, and now with App Thinning, your device only downloads the version required for itself and not the other. This saves lots of storage space, so it's good news for 16GB iPhone users.

Doing it this way, by the time approaching 12 months, it can still fetch a high price and folks like us who upgrades every year can still roll the funds around so that we spend minimum possible to buy the next version. Waiting for another year means depreciation of the device at the 2 year mark, and if I ever hold a device that long, I might as well keep it, the resale value would've already dropped to much to make it worthwhile anymore. That's what happens to my Lumia 1020.

Fantastic review with photos, bro! I miss Taipei so much. It takes much patience and dedication to so all those precise cutting.

Yup. If there is a price drop, it'll have to be from me, not from their persuasions. Some are just preying on the desperation level of the seller to gain cheap phones, and even after getting it cheap, they still wanna nitpick at tiny blemishes hoping to score lower prices.

Somethings gotta give. A week ago, people were gloating that they have the Samsung chip and that shows up with better benchmark performance than the TSMC's. Now people are complaining that their Samsung chip is performing worse with battery life than TSMC? SMH, common sense is a rare trait these days, it's almost a super power.

Me? I wouldn't even care. As long as I dont experience lag and I get to use my iPhone 6S Plus with my usual routines through the day without the need of a powerbank, I'm plenty happy. Don't fall into these traps of benchmarks and performance numbers, those are the trappings of the Android users, not Apple's.

Better battery life on TSMC, but that's because the performance is subdued compared to the Samsung chipset. How to check, posted above this^.

In the end, it the matter of whether you wanna play the number game (lasts longer, benchmarks higher) for bragging rights or use it daily and see it plow through your tasks better than your previous phone and lasts through the entire day.
