iPhone user since 2010 here... I've been thinking of upgrading to iPhone 7 but Google Pixel launched today and seems very interesting... here are the things better than iPhone 7

camera is rated better than all existing smartphones (good for camera lovers)
unlimited cloud storage for photos and videos (this is really good)
15 minute charge for 5 hours use (this is good too)

However, I really like iOS and don't like how Android operates...

Do you think iOS is the reason good enough to stay with iPhone?

just curious if anyone knows if there is an option for installment plan with 0% interest rate during maxis pre-order on the 7th? or its only available over the counter during official launch?

Free iPhone 5S this time?

The way I see it, iOS either works for you or drives you nuts But I think you'll know this better than me coz you've been an iPhone user for longer than I have been. While I can't say whether iOS is good enough a reason for you to stay with iPhones, for me personally, Google Pixel is not a compelling reason enough to migrate over to Android, especially if you have a catalogue of paid apps in iOS since 2010!

In terms of hardware, any Android flagship will outdo the latest iPhones. That's no secret to anyone. I find it absolutely hilarious when some companies put their phone specs next to the iPhone during their launch presentation. Yes, you may have 6GB RAM, a higher resolution display, a bigger capacity battery, a higher pixel count camera, etc. but at the end of the day, those who are comfortable with iOS will stick to iPhones.

The price is "almost" identical to iPhone 7, this pull off some of the peoples, as people will claim that they can just get Huawei, Oppo or whatever which is cheaper 50%
*not to forget, they mention in the presentation, the latest software update will only support for 2 years

The only way to get unlocked iPhones is to buy full price at official Apple Online/Retail Store. All unlocked iPhones can now be used anywhere in the world, regardless of supported bands. 

Also, to people who are buying from China or Hong Kong: Be warned that the model number for sale in Malaysia (A1778/A1784) is different from the iPhones sold there. Same goes for Japan or US iPhones too (unless you go with AT&T or T-Mobile).

However, in most cases you can't submit them for warranty claim at Malaysian AASPs. You definitely won't get support for those other models here in Malaysia, since AASPs are only allowed to order replacement devices with model numbers sold locally. For those models, you will have to go Singapore cuz only Apple Asia HQ can override that policy.

Now you must consider pros and cons, here's a handy chart (with explanation below):

Model	Sold in	AASP support	Network support	FeliCa support
A1660/A1661	HK/US/ZH	No	CDMA^, GSM*	No
A1778/A1784	MY/SG/WW	Yes	GSM	No
A1779/A1785	JP	No	GSM, CDMA	Yes

^ A1660/A1661 (CDMA) [Sold in US]:  Not supported locally, but has more network bands. Can be used on CDMA carriers like Verizon or Sprint. Can't support FeliCa.

* A1660/A1661 (GSM) [Sold in HK/ZH]:  Not supported locally, but has more network bands. Can't be used on CDMA carriers like Sprint in US or SoftBank in Japan. Can't support FeliCa.

A1778/1784 [Sold in AU/MY/SG/worldwide]:  Supported by local AASPs, but has less network bands. Can't be used on CDMA carriers like Verizon in US or SoftBank in Japan. Can't support FeliCa.

A1779/1785 [Sold only in JP]:  Not supported locally, can be used with CDMA carriers like SoftBank in Japan, can't turn off camera shutter sound, but supports FeliCa (which is Japan's version Touch N Go. It's literally everywhere there) so you can use e-money cards like Suica with Apple Pay.

Bro, noob in iphone here.
Just one question, in your chart for phone sold in HK it's CDMA , GSM. Does it mean only one of the supported network but not both ? If so, any iphone which can support both CDMA & GSM ?

it support both GSM/CDMA therefore any model can be used in Malaysia since all model support GSM.u only lacking the AASP except for local set.

Okay. I will need both CDMW and GSM. Guess Malaysia model can't be my choice

yup, in terms of hardware, any android flagship totally outperform iPhone
but do note that Android got a lot flagship, such as Google, HTC, Samsung, Sony, etc ...
yet, once release new firmware, only Google devices will get on the spot, other brand need to wait for few months
as somebody said just now, Android official software support is 2 year, meanwhile iOS at least 3 years
but IMO Google this time really do a good move, at least they build a phone inside and outside by them (actually is HTC help them)
and bear in mind Android phone price will drop due to too many competitors, unlike iPhone

anyway, both Android and iOS have their pros and cons, I love the camera on Google Pixel, but I think iPhone 7 camera is more than enough for me
but iPhone 7 come with water and dust resistant
as for unlimited cloud storage in order to backup photo and video, yea this is an attracting point to those who love to take photo and video, hope Apple will follow as well which give user more iCloud storage

yeah lo.. i think ip7 camera is enough for me. nevertheless phone camera can't be better than digital camera also. if one need to capture really nice pictures, i rather take a camera to shoot

Okay. I will need both CDMW and GSM. Guess Malaysia model can't be my choice

Finally it's on its way
Will reach me very soon

where u ordered from ？

Singapore
