did you go to those retailer shops to try and see with your own eyes first? cause picture feeling always different with the actual product. with naked eyes, all 3 colors looks awesome and gold definitely my favorite color for i8. but i always go for black no matter which color i "prefer". tongue.gif

Yea, i did. I went in Maxis and touch the phone myself. Gold is really nice. But hopefully it would not be like the phone in the picture you showed above.

No Choice, had to change my 6s+ because it died yesterday.....My Iphone 8 Plus is only 1 day old. I must say the battery life is quite amazing....compared to my 6s+

Fully charged 9am this morning...been using as personal hotspot, whatsapp, FB, waze (for 30 mins) and etc....

at 4.21pm ... i am still at 47%...

Usage : 4h 47m
Standby : 7h 24min
p/s : chinaman like me, not willing to spend extra RM1k for IP X  smile.gif

so what push you to choose 8 instead of X? tongue.gif if sign plan with telco both device not huge difference on price right?
*
Its 1k difference bro. Let says Maxis for instance(MOP128).
iPhone 8+ 64gb = 2615
iPhone X 64gb = 3505

The difference of 900. Personally don't think the Face ID is ready yet, as it is still slower than Fingerprint unlock. The animoji is not my type, I am not gay. Having say that, I don't selfie alot, the back camera with portrait features are already perfect for me (take picture during vacation maybe) Also, both of these device got the same brain, you know what? iPhone 8+ should have a better battery life than iPhone X.

Upon choosing the iPhone 8+, i saved RM900 for not getting the X.. With this RM900,maybe i can invest heavily on the below:
1) Apple watch (top up few hundreds)
2) Fast charging charger + Wireless charger + screen protector + casing
3) return ticket to Taiwan? Bangkok? smile.gif

Yea.. I am young, shouldn't have spending too much of my future money.. Hopefully I will do more saving, and definitely, 8+ is my pick for this time round.. smile.gif Thanks to you too, for answering my questions prior to getting my 8+ yesterday. I really appreciate that..

Ok you successfully make myself not regretting got 8+ instead of X. haha. I was regret instantly when I first hold on iX, have a feeling like "oh dam, this is really a new phone". but yea paying a 1k extra for face id which is slower & animoji which totally not using at all is really not worth. the 1k is actually paying for a new design instead.

btw do share us wireless charger if you found any good one haha.
*
Glad that i make up your mind. Seriously, nothing to feel regret. I read somewhere, OLED pixels will die after 1 or 2 years which will affect the screen colour quality? I don't know what it means though, so the old one will be better. Since the previous phone is using the same screen, this would be the smart choice. smile.gif


QUOTE(Davidtcf @ Nov 29 2017, 12:33 PM)
it's a gaming monster...

previously played Transformers: Forged to Fight on my Honor 8 just after a while will lag like mad.. on here smooth all the way even if I'm to play it for a long time till 0 battery. Not much heat also. Its A11 chip is amazing.

tried other games all super smooth also. Gaming is the main reason I got it. Hated the iPhone X due to Face ID and lack of a fingerprint sensor.

No regrets so far just wished it's a bit lighter.
*
Good to hear that smile.gif Hope we continue loving our iphone 8+, do not regret for not getting the X. X is totally overpriced, but many of them are rich. Hope one day I am in that category soon.


QUOTE(dikae @ Nov 29 2017, 12:40 PM)
not necessary as I don't think it helps much, and not sure if it'll affect the image quality..
*
Alright, thank you.

QUOTE(dikae @ Nov 29 2017, 12:47 PM)
everything sounds true besides I think face id unlocks screen better (might not be speed wise but convenience wise), and people who got the X are those who probably already got those 3 things above  biggrin.gif
*
Yea bro, agreed with you also. People who are with sweat fingers might love the new Face ID features. But as for convenience, i believe touch ID would still on top of it. For instance if we are driving, we will place our thumb on the fingerprint unlock to unlock the phone. Meanwhile, Face ID, you need to put attention on the front Face ID sensor, only swipe up to unlock. I know we don't drive and use phone, but still, i appreciate your thoughts on Face ID is more convenience. If one day apple make it, we look at the phone, without waking up the screen/wake up by raise to wake, then the phone unlocked immediate it, it would be much faster maybe? tongue.gif

and iPhone X's notch is horrendous.. Steve Jobs wouldn't have approve such a massive design flaw!!  shakehead.gif

Touch ID can be placed at the back or side (similar to Razer phone) so there's no excuse for iPhone X not to have it. It is extra layer of security especially when it comes to banking applications or in app purchasing. Face ID still has so much flaws in it - just youtube all the vidos to see how bad it is.
*
Yes, you got your point right. But as for the touch ID at the back. I eventually believe the X is the future. Which mean future iPhone wouldn't have the touch ID anymore. Having said that, we will just pick up my phone and look at it, without pressing anywhere of the screen, then it will unlocked itself when it sensed you are the owner. We will see, if Apple is moving to the future, or taking back the touch ID behind the phone.

Decided to purchase the 8 plus. Cannot decide which color though. Gold and black both looks amazing. The gold back is so classy but the black front well.. It's like a perfect monolith. If only black front and gold back.

Black is nice though smile.gif But i picked Gold for myself. So far so good. Black highly likely the top pick here, still OOS in Labuan though.

same goes to me, already downloaded but dare not install first. some 7+ users say that their device screen will auto rotate even they didn't rotate phone, and it still happen even they locked their screen rotation. not sure if 8+ users facing the same.

Can remain. The 11.1.2 doesn’t do anything for the 8 Plus.

See above, as advised by attw, just remain first.
