Seriously? my iphone 7 calls volume is damn high, even noisy area i can hear them pretty clear with only half of the max volume lol

Guys erm, realize that whatsapp been taking a lot of portion in the battery life. Any idea how I can reduce it without turning off the lock screen notification? Haha or should I just ask any idea I can reduce its impact?

As a previous android supporter all the way, this is the first time I jump ship to the IOS environment (actually wanted to buy note7 but it goes bom bom, haiz). I'm going to slot in my review here hopefully can serve as a great guide for our fellow android comrades who are still hesitating on whether they want to change to ios or not. Here are some of the comments I have as a previous note 3 user, not sure if these are accurate for some of you guys, but definitely my unbias view coming from the experience of the switch

Camera: Obviously ip7 camera did a very great job here, I find that the low light setting is quite well, at least close to what real life is. Unlike s7 edge which is over contrast, compare to my obsolete note3 obviously it is tonnes better lol. The front camera however, did poorer in low light. However with the 7mp quality, it is still capable of producing clear selfies. I'm loving the combination so far. heh!

Phone speaker: Very clear, even in noisy environment, I'm able to pick up calls and hear what the caller said especially now Digi has volte, it is super clear only with 4 bars volume (not even half of the max volume yet), I can even browse my websites in 4g without drop calls.

Surround sound: Good for watching videos, the sound come from both sides. Cinematic experience tak ada la, but then it is very good thou, especially coming from the old note 3 user, this is powerful already

Taptic home button: ok this home button is a bit hard to get used to actually. But then slowly i fell in love with it. With rest finger to unlock feature, I actually didnt use the taptic function as much. Unless the screen does not light up when i pick up my phone only I'll press that taptic home button

Interface: Unlike many other android users, I dont really have time to customize my note 3 in the past. Overall experience i would say I'm easily adapted to ios environment, actually till date i couldnt even believe my eyes, the apps are so well-optimized for apple. No lag unlike my note 3 even with 3gb ram, playing games will face noticeable lags at times.

Google experience: So far I'm still heavily attached to many of the google services such as gmail, google photo and such. I would say the experience is far more superior on ios than on android itself. Kudos.

No earphone jack: Not an issue la, they still give u a lightning earphone ma, sound quality is not bad i would say

Water-resistance: Now i can bath and wash my phone at the same time. Sibeh convenient hahaha

Accessories: Many accessory choices which is good

4g speed: Faster than my note 3 a lot

Multitasking: The multitasking is a bit different with android. Android offer split screen and the small window functionality to allow more work to be done. Apple allows u to open multiple apps and even u close certain apples by swiping them off, when u open the app again, it will stay at where you have stopped. Great work on that one.

While the above are all the good sides of iphone, let me go into the drawbacks that I faced till date.

Whatsapp: the whatsapp camera i notice it is like a low delay. Whenever i bring my view to somewhere it slows a while before moving along with me

Screen: The screen covers the entire front part, even with the 3D tempered glass, i still feel that it is like very fragile, once drop habis lah lol

Fingerprint home button: The fingerprint seems to go wrong with wet fingers. I tried once by scanning my wet finger on it, it wont unlock, sumore it goes haywire for a while, suddenly the home button wont work after pressing, suddenly off button cant off the phone (not sure if this is a bug) but it sked the shyt off me

Files management: It is indeed not as easy as android coming to files transfer, copy and paste also susah. The functionality is really limited, but more secure I believe. Everything comes with pros and cons la.

Photoes: It is troublesome needing to sort out the photos even after deleted them. I have to go into deleted folder to delete again to make sure it cleared off my phone memory. Kinda annoying

Gaming: While apps are mostly optimized for ip7, some heavy graphic intensive game such as clash royale, it seems not so smooth as compared to my note 3 with 3gb ram. I keep feeling that the gaming experience isnt as instantaneous as how my note 3 is when i place those troops into the war lol.

Signal: I have to say the 4g speed and signal is well top over my note 3. But at some instances it auto switches to 3g for no apparent reason where the same area my note 3 still showing 4g at less signal strength. Hmnn.

Airplay: airplay seems to require data/network to function? This i am not so sure yet hope fellow lyn members can clarify. Only apple tv allows airplay. Bad move.

Battery: I need to charge like 2 times a day under moderate use - whatsapp and little gaming with little video with little website browsing. A bit pain la this one lol

There are more to input but let me think what else I have in mind. This is what I have so far.

hey guys, just want to know those 3D tempered glass you guys get from outside, how to know it is real or not. I just dropped my phone today, no break phewww. But the tempered glass flew out and i kind of find out it is being sticked with some random lousy glue lol

for the airplay part, require wifi connection
need both Apple TV or iPod touch, iPad, Mac or iPhone connect same wifi in order to enable the airplay
btw why you get 7 instead 7 plus? since you previously own note 3 and s7 edge, from bigger screen jump to smaller screen

Cuz i already have a big screen ma, now get a small one for one handed use. Sumore i have 2 powerbanks growing dust edi, it is a good chance to use it thou haha. If i wanna watch video i can stream it to apple tv anyways

Anybody still practice the time when u first got your phone, you let ur battery drain to 0% and do a full charge circle before start using? LOL. I always find it like an unreal myth in the past

My i7 can capture great picha just like this one haha. Any comment?


Attached thumbnail(s)

Any idea how we can save game data or app cache into iCloud instead of device storage? My game actually only eats up 200mb but with my past constant progress it shoots up to 1.13gb lol

Actually my insider info, even Digi staff can't get black ip7 plus. All they could get right now is only rose gold version lol

Hey peeps, I wanna download an app over 300mb into my phone via data 4g but App Store prohibits it. Any idea if I can enable/bypass this function?

That's sad haih

Bro if u really want Digi plan don't need to travel here and there la. Let me teach u a gooding way. Buy the fone outright from lazada or gem five or 11street with rm200 cheaper. Then let me help with my friend refer u to their Digi ambassador plan u get 15gb a mth plus unlimited calls to all network. No contract binding

Guys any other way to stream my content to tv besides using Atv?

Selling how much bro? Pm lai hehe poison oredi

Guys,

Was browsing through the lazada store and found this tempered glass, tempted to buy ahahaha, anyone has any comment on this?

http://www.lazada.com.my/premium-25d-9h-03...r-13973534.html

mind share what u installed that used up so little memory only? I installed some stuffs eventually left with only 19gb lol

Will tempered glass affect the 3D Touch performance? Like it becomes less sensitive?

But it looks damn thick thou. It's like a glass on top of another glass hahaha but thanks for the input mate!

Yoo-hoo guys, anyone tried if turning off location sharing will conserve a lot battery? Or it doesn't affect much on battery life actually? By having it switched on 24/7

can i stream my youtube to tv using chrome cast? for my apple i7? Guys this is fairly important to me haha
