Have to buy 'by luck'....
many many cheater outside, especially 2nd iphone ... body nice, but organ changed even got warranty .. who knows ??

just got an Iphone 5 to use ... better than nothing now ..

Not too probable. If got warranty can just have it claimed. Not reasonable to fork own money to change or fix the phone themselves if it's under warranty coverage.

I bought many 2nd hand phones before from GS. Just need to do some profiling checks before the deal that's all i'm saying.

1) RM2100 for 6S plus. Indeed a 2 years old model ... no point spending on it. Only speed and 3d touch upgrade ..
2) RM3799 for 128GB. Might regret after release of Iphone 8 ? Currently suffer from CHIPPING paint job for Matte Black ?
3) Iphone 5 with 10.3.1 looks smooth and no more complaint ...
4) 6Plus with screen crack and need re-soldering cpu

i think i might go for option 3 ...
*
Or the newly 'relaunched' iphone 6 32gb going for RM1999 I think?
Iphone 5 is too small la these days.

Yup. Rather than nothing
Btw, apple Malaysia sealed IPhone 6s Plus only RM2099@11 street, worth buying?

TBH, performance wise you wouldn't see like really significant differences between the 7+ and 6s+ in day to day usage. I came from 6s+ before (now using 7+) so I can honestly tell you that

The 6s plus is more than adequate to handle daily tasks and it can easily last you another year or so.
Unless you really need the camera enhancement (portrait mode/better low light/2x etc zoom) and the water proofing thingy then I would say 6s plus is still a good buy.

Thanks bro, really honest review on both side.
Basically I'm using it for taking kids photo, doing online work and no play games,
2K can get nice android phone... but u know the reason why we stick on IOS
*
Haha indeed. I went from 6s+ to S7E but end up still came home to the familiar iOS ground.

Chipping issue? Well, get it coated. Or get a case that have soft back preferably leather case or that soft tpu case.

Iphone 7 is already future proof with that much space and spec. You might even regret more if you get a 6s.
*
Future proof in terms of space and specs. space? really?
Regret getting a 6s now - how so?
Are you speaking in terms of personal experience that there's significant improvement of 7 over the 6s or just based on your own assumption?

6s over 6 - yes. Justifiable upgrade.
7 over 6s - meh. And forking over so much extra for some incremental upgrade only.
If you can afford it by all means, go with the 7/7+. For ppl with a budget, the 6s/6s+ is still a very reasonable choice.

You're right bro jimcarrey, if I can afford, sure buy 7+
But RM4k (near) for a handphone, i still have car, house and other expenses... can't really spend on it.
im still waiting for the battery for iPhone 5. If battery can last long, I don't mind use small screen.
It's just a phone...
*
That's what I'm saying. Different ppl, different needs.

It's easy for others to just give a one liner and say go for the latest and greatest. But we are talking about a 4k phone here.
Like you said, you're just a basic user. You don't even do gamings tongue.gif

Just go with the one which fits you best and not break the bank in the process icon_rolleyes.gif

My advice is to resist from spending more than 4k on a phone. I bought 7 plus for 4.3k and regret it. It's nothing great really, 4.3k is way too much especially when comparing with other decent Android phones.
Spending 4.3k on a phone I would expect it to be shatter proof, bullet proof, transform into an umbrella when it's raining, take me underwater and fly me all around the world tongue.gif

Lol. For that kinda money should get this type of iPhone

I am thinking shall I selling my iPhone 7 Plus of not. Now very itchy on Samsung Galaxy S8. The look is so beauty.

No need to sell first.

Get the S8, play around with it and compare both, then decide. That's what I would normally do.

Because I know nor-matter how I will sell my iPhone 7 Plus in coming Oct. So still thinking lo. Selling now maybe better.

No need compare, I know how Samsung do and android do. I am maybe use S8 for few months only until Oct.

Switching cross platform is quite an hassle considering those stuff you can't migrate over like whatsapp(unless you go for backupstrans), saved games, paid apps and IAP, apps ecosystems etc
Minor stuff like photo stream libraries (if you have multiple idevices)

I wouldn't switch regularly unless it really needs to

To each their own at the end of the day.

Anyone here with a more under-utilised 128GB i7 Plus? biggrin.gif

[attachmentid=8715388]

That's bit too under utilized indeed. Should downgrade to 32gb. wink.gif

For me 64gb is the sweet spot.
128gb is also a bit overkill for me.

mine also 256gb...planning to use for 5 years+

Hmm. I don't see how the numbers of years of usage can translate to the capacity since this is a phone not your PC biggrin.gif

Games, Apps, videos and music for instance, we recycle every now and then so no point keeping those in the phone in the long term.

Pictures (and again music) probably yes.

But still, just saying. Get THE phone for absolute future proofing. cool2.gif
