BTW, how old is your ip5 bro? Usually, those old batteries do swell up when the time comes. My mates ip5 also with the same issue after 2.5 years usage. But getting replacement battery is not expensive like before.
*
ohh...i thought the culprit is charging via laptop

my ip5 celebrated its 3rd birthday before swollen up

good price from the official website.

the front + back SP...will it really shield you from shattering the casing or screen when you drop from 2ft and above ?

Yup can't deny that. Some angle pixel xl lose to ip7+, some the other way around.
But in low-light condition, ip7+ is lose far behind. Hope ip8 will be far more better.
*
indeed...in low light condition, quality of the portrait mode isn't too good

Means the side of the tempered glass is not flushed with the body of the phone. It's lifted and looks white and hence the "halo effect" as if the phone screen is circled with ring.
*
in that case...mine also the same
the SP only covers like 90% of the screen area...not 100%

It's not the area of how much the tempered glass cover, it's the glass never fully stick to the screen.

oohh...then it's different issue

my SP is fully attached onto the screen, can see the side of the SP (obviously since it's thick)

fyi, my SP is free with the purchase of ip7+ from gem5

Off Topic: Which Music Streaming is the Best!

user posted image

Just like to share 3 famous Music Streaming service. I am not audiophile but I love music and sensitive to sound quality.

Below is the highest setting applicable and all songs is test by using Powerbeats 3 headset.
Test on iPhone 7 Plus and all without enable equalizer. Few types of music and same song listen in 3 apps

  • Tidal - 1411kbps FLAC (lossless)
  • Spotify - 320kbps Ogg (lossy)
  • Apple Music - 256kbps AAC (lossy)
Sound Quality - Winner Tidal, 2nd Apple Music, 3rd Spotify.
Tidal is unbeatable the best sound quality, it is CD audio quality because it is lossless.

Spotify even though is 320kbps but Ogg format is still far behind AAC, the vocal is softer, bass is less strong and sometimes still can heard artificial noise & sound fuzzy. Obvious never my favorite at all. I don't like how Ogg sound output. It is also the most far different when compare with Tidal 1411kbps FLAC.

Apple Music is kind of near to Tidal 1411kbps FLAC, thanks to Apple better format provide, even though it is only 256kbps but it is far better than Spotify 320kbps, strong vocal and strong bass. Hardly to heard any artificial noise.

Music Catalogs - Winner Apple Music, 2nd Spotify, 3rd Tidal.
If you are only english song or europe song listener, Tidal is match with any of the music streaming provider. But if you listen to anykind of songs especially Asian song, then Tidal is very far behind, most of Chinese or Malay songs is not available in Tidar.

Interface - Winner Apple Music, 2nd Tidal, 3rd Spotify
Sorry to said I very dislike the Spotify interace, it is very troublesome to search and access offline download music.

Price Value - Winner Apple Music, 2nd Spotify, 3rd Tidal.
Even though all 3 can be same subscription price of RM 14.90 but Apple Music having more music catalogs and better sound quality, this is the reason of why it beat down Spotify. As for Tidal in same price range you only get 320kbps AAC instead of lossless. They is no reason for subscribing Tidal standard as the catalogs is much less. Use Tidal the main reason is go for FLAC lossless but that is much expensive than others, it cost RM 29.80 monthly. Some will said Spotify have free version but the free version only up to 160kbps Ogg which to me is very bad sound quality where I won't listen, also it came with full of advertisement that I can't tolerant.

Cross Platform - All equally tie
All 3 music streaming is cross platform of PC Windows, Mobile Android & Mobile iOS. All support offline download. In this category, all equally tie.
I not include Google Play Music, Amazon Prime Music, Napster & Pandora because it is not available in Malaysia.
As for Deezer the lossless FLAC need Sonos System where I don't have.

*
if not mistaken...currently Spotify has 30-day free trial for Premium right ?

Its like its mocking me. Last time i used ip6 16gb, it was rage inducing.
I hope so. I heard Apple going all out with ip8. Oh well, at least it will have resale value. biggrin.gif

i know the fact that ip8 is gonna be more expensive than ip7+, hence the decision to stick with ip7+ until the phone kaputs
