Ouch, painful. Ya, seems like the glass back is really fragile this round.

I think you are far too polite. If it was me, I’d be giving them hell right now, demanding for a cancellation.

The dimensions of the 7 Plus are slightly different to the 8 Plus, so while some cases may fit, they may be a little tighter, so harder to insert in and difficult to take out, in some cases. For example, both my wife and I are using Spigen Crystal Hybrid with our 7 Plus and 8 Plus respectively, and we are both using the same tempered glass too. Hers easily gets in and out the case sometimes even without removing the bumper but mine is more difficult to do so.

I’ve yet to see cases specific for the 8 Plus though.

Yes it is. Have been using iPad charger for all my Plus size phones without issues. The stock charger is just too slow.

Absolutely safe. But you buy at Retail Price with no discount.

There was an 8 Plus going for 3699 but it sold out.

Using my iPad Air 2’s charger for now, it does the job. Eyeing Apple’s charging pad next year but am guessing it won’t be cheap.

Won’t touch it even if it’s above RM4xx

Here's what I do: -

Settings > Display & Brightness > Raise To Wake > On

Followed by

Settings > Accessibility > Home Button > Rest Finger To Open > On


As you just rest your thumb on the Touch ID while raising the phone, the phone unlocks swiftly. No need to press any button.

To be frank bro, I personally don't use the power button unless it's for taking screenshots or to power off the device.

Yup, been using it since iOS 10 Also helps prolong your home button lifespan.
That's why I'm having second thoughts about moving to the X. This Raise to Wake + Touch ID combination is super fast when unlocking the phone.

Ya, I guess it’s a learning curve. After using the X for a couple of weeks or so you’d probably never wanna use Touch ID ever again

Join the X la, not the 8 Plus

Size only ma, Body to Screen ratio no good leh...

Using Hoda as well and agree with you. Very good fingerprint resistance

Price is a factor I guess. Also some prefer a Bigger phone

Depends on your usage. What was the capacity of your previous phone, how long have you used it and what was the available storage remaining?

Another factor to consider is how long do you keep your phones before you change/upgrade?

Yes. In that case, 64GB may be sufficient.

Been using a tempered glass since the 6 Plus so already used to the Home Button feel with it.

Unplug from Charger at 10pm or 11pm at night, and it gets me 6-7 hours usage till evening with 40% or so left. More than sufficient.
