Cool  rclxms.gif

With sim card, and depending on signal strength, and with 4G on , see how the performance would be like.

Well, it's just a spare phone now so usage is minimum, I guess. Also as I'm in the Klang Valley so it's 4G most of the time. Probably can try it without the WiFi on and see biggrin.gif

I read somewhere that its good practice charging it early rather than letting it drain to the minimum. Reason being, by doing so, the phone is not subjected to high heat during fast charging. For me if the phone can last for the full day when I am on data, I'm a happy chappy  rclxms.gif

Yeah, I read something like that as well. But there's also an article about how it's good to run the battery down to 0% every once in a while for recalibration.

I like ip8 aspect ratio more than s8+. S8+ looks awkwardly too long rectangle.

I'm trying to imagine how expensive it would be, ha ha ha...

Any thoughts on getting the iphone 7 plus with Maxis zerolution plan?
I need a new phone now and the new iphone release is like 4 months away
*
I would suggest you hunt for a used one first, perhaps one that is still under warranty and in good condition. Not worth tying yourself with a 2-year telco contract now with a phone that will be refreshed in 4 months or so.

Typically Apple announces a new phone in September, we should get it here around November or December. The fastest it gets here is October, but thats rare.

iOS update is the key to iPhone consideration. This year iOS 11 is the most nothing special I watch since first iOS till dated.

QUOTE(Sole X @ Jun 6 2017, 11:31 AM)
I guess it's mostly exciting for app developers & pro users. Things consumers will not instantly recognise as 'exciting'.
*
Ya, that's exactly it. The keynote was for developers - so stuffs like Metal 2, HEIF and Machine Learning gets them all excited biggrin.gif The HomePod and new iPad Pro were the bonus for us consumers.

Oh well, on to the iPhone announcement in September then...

Subject to approval from BNM and need to nego with our local banks.

Given the state of contactless payment in Msia which is still at its infant stage, might take sometime before they actually venture in here.

Plus, i notice only selected stores accepts Visa paywave, a system which Apple Pay could utilize. Explains much i guess.

QUOTE(Andrewtst @ Jun 7 2017, 11:30 AM)
This part Samsung do act very fast. Samsung Pay already in Malaysia.
*
Also, another point to note is that Apple doesn't really view Malaysia as a key market. We are a "nice to have". Our sales numbers for Apple products are insignificant, and not helped by the current state of our currency.

I use both

Battery life has improved tremendously

Ios is more efficient, less lag and good support updates

But... No app drawer make the home screen serabut, small cloud storage n minimal improvement features with every product updates
*
With regards to the small cloud storage, they did reduce the price for subscription based storage though: -

128 is just nice for me. 64 below wouldn't be sufficient for me. but if for long term, would aim for 256.

Don't know the feeling of owning a phone long term, ha ha. I change every year! So now I just aim for the minimum available storage. My 32GB 7 Plus still sufficient, even now. (Note: I'm not a gamer save for Pokemon Go)

hello sifusss,

just want to ask that still worth getting the iphone 7 now?

heard that the new one is coming out soon(september?), still using the ipong 5 now

worth upgrading now? biggrin.gif

Thank youuuu
*
iOS 11 is not supported on the 5, so yeah, you definitely have to change come September if you still want the latest software. But I'd agree with an earlier post to hold off till the new phones are announced. Even if you don't like the new ones, the current ones will get a discount.

Sometimes, if some background app is using location services. What you could do is clear all apps and restart the phone.

the thing is, even for my note 4 that should be the case, but it seems that i noticed despite reaching 100%, the charge did not cut off so i practice to stop overnight charging.
im not risking to splurge on iphone battery replacement. better safe than sorry

Yes, not charging overnight will prolong your battery life.

Safety purposes and my phone safety as well  laugh.gif
Wake up only then charge, it doesn't take long also. 30 mins full already.

30 minutes to full charge? Definitely not on an iPhone 7 Plus biggrin.gif

Me too. Was bored with my 7 Plus so I bought the S8 last month to try and thought it would entertain me till the next iPhone comes about... Ended up listing the phone for sale yesterday.
