Having said that, new iPhone will cost RM10k soon. But I appreciate what Apple has given so far, most of my friends also comment that iphone is less laggy compare to android phones.

i dont think what he meant is based on "news" but based on their pricing trend along these years. since now an iX that cost almost 6k (256GB) can still easily sold, so as a perspective of businessman, why don't just increase the price in future? since they still having their fans what.

imagine during the time i bought i6 (64GB) for RM2749 (pre GST & currency adjustment) back in 2014, and 3 years later now, a 64GB model cost RM5149 also got people queue to buy, so not a surprise if in future apple decide to price an iphone @ RM10k.

what we can hope is android to improved themselves regardless hardware/software or pricing to give apple some stress. the more competitors, the more benefit to consumers. if 1 brand is monopoly the market, that will only benefit the company and not consumers.

apple products are getting more and more expensive but after sales service (for local premium reseller at least) getting worse. recently just listen different kind of complain regarding their after sales service. and now even try to sell out some protective plan that cost hundreds, and worst thing 1-1 exchange policy even changed, unlike last time, no matter phone got what problem within the year, they will just change a new one for you.

Agree mate. My last 5C Pre GST was affordable and a really good phone at its time. But now the price really soar up too high.

Among other thing stopping me from buying 8+ is the lack of fast charge support out of box and Buggy iOS 11 from reviewers.

Wondering if the software issue have been resolved now?

before they can reach there hopefully Android will give them a nice spanking soon by beating them in every category.

only way to humble the big Apple.

it is possible in time.. just watch how AMD teach Intel a lesson by outperforming them with their new AMD Ryzen chips + a lower selling price.

Yes bro, agreed with that. But there must be something to beat iOS first.

Share with you all something that I just found,if you already know it don't shoot me haha

Go to Setting-About-Model
If your model is like MQ8L2MY/A then it mean your iphone is a NEW set.
If your model is like NQ8L2MY/A then it mean your iphone is a REFURBISHED set.

The different between "M" and "N"

personally think that apple silicon or leather case not really worth the price. if drop can't protect much pun. better buy those that can protect from drop damage and only cost more or less half price of apple case.

Found some sharing from the user on how protective is the case from drop. No doubt it can't compare to those super bulky type. It's up to the user preferences.

seems like there are quite numbers of users switch from 6 to 8. previously feel that the 6 touch id is insanely fast, wondering is it become slower or it actually remain the speed just only 8 purely faster?
