anyone got issues of your iPhone 8 Plus cracked open due to the battery? As per online reports?
http://bgr.com/2017/09/29/iphone-8-battery...losion-display/

Just pre ordered my iPhone 8 Plus 64GB yesterday.. worried now..

all the while using Android for personal phone.. company phone using iPhone thats how I got exposed to it.

First time buying.. due to gaming decided to get one (some intense games lag real bad at Android). Paying so much also weh. Android phones usually RM1.5k+ can get good one adi.

Thanks for consolation.. hope everything goes smoothly..

Transformers: Forged to Fight.

my Android is not old.. it's an Honor 8. Yet the micro lags on it can cause me to lose a battle.

micro lags itself will do to ruin the experience since it's a fighting game.. every second and movement counts.

if one day quit the game adi then it is good for other games also la.. thinking long term too. Somemore this iphone now uses new chip much faster than before:

battery life one thing I found to lengthen it is to reduce brightness (make sure not too bright just nice).. and disable as many background running apps as possible (such as push email). Got powerbank to save the day also ma.. Xiaomi powerbank nowadays very thin and light adi

bought my iphone on Digi's website.. found it to be most suited for me package 78 can really save a lot. From RM4k+ this model become RM3k only. Almost same price as a iPhone 7 Plus 128gb 2nd hand already (earlier on almost wanted to buy this model 2nd hand). Wish Celcom and Maxis follow their strategy rather than forcing customer sign up big mobile plans - not everyone is a heavy phone user k? I'm sure majority are not - package 50-70 cellphone package is good enough a month.

Tim Cook the accountant took over mah.. then all phone prices also increase price as they add more features and techs..

and most important factor : ppl still willing to pay the exorbitant prices

go EPP (easy payment la).. just need a credit card. else need fork out a lot of cash.

EPP for digi on average is about RM200-300 depending on the specs u choose. It will tie up your credit card's max limit tho eg. if swipe limit is RM8k.. RM5k+ is used up for this. Coz bank will pay in advance to Digi first.. then only u slowly pay back to bank without interest.

P.S the credit card support for EPP also limited to 4 banks only.. Maybank and HSBC cards part of it.. the other 2 forgot.. when I was paying I saw them listed.

Both have the same Cpu A11 bionic chip. IPhone X more expensive coz of extra features. Don't really need the extra features so stucked with 8. X also much more expensive to buy.

So far I used digi so long I'm ok.. 4g everywhere in Selangor now and in major cities.

Maxis coverage sometimes is worse than Digi at certain areas.

If you worry then pay more for celcom or maxis lor. Both charge much more than Digi for iPhone package. Really worth it if u can finish use their large mobile packages else is burning it every month.

How to wireless charge? Got cheap wireless charger that is safe to use? Apple wireless charger sure expensive right?

fast charging only with Macbook charger (or some other 3rd party charger - make sure safe bfore use).

wireless charging likely just normal charging speed.

iphone 7 hard to find at any telcos that offer plans with it already.. many ppl grabbed it earlier when the price dropped. If you wanted 7 you should have went for it during the Apple's announcement last month. Now only options are phone only purchases.. brand new iPhones in boxes without plans. One iPhone 7 /Plus would cost nearly same as a iPhone 8/Plus 64gb on Digi's 78 plan already. Top up a few hundred will get iPhone 8 might as well go for it? (Digi 78 plan slashes the price as much as RM1k)

Did not regret after testing out my iPhone 8 64gb on some games. Super smooth and good. Zero lag / crash even after playing it long (google Transformers Forged to Fight - very high end game there). Gonna test the cameras heavily too after this. That A11 chip is really something no joke bros.

Read here if u not convinced how much improvement it is over 7:

coz Gmail is much more superior as a free based email.

careful nanti Face ID unlock got issues already proven during product launching demonstration.. as per video below.. X don't have fingerprint sensor built into it anymore. Pray hard Apple will manage to fix it before selling the product next month.



and that notch at the top of it.. imagine watching videos / playing game with that annoying bar blocking your view ALL THE TIME:

annoyed that ppl are selling iPhone 7 casing for iPhone 8 (plus version as well) since both fits.

however, be warned if the back has a round hole cutout (for the logo).. the Apple logo won't match for iPhone 8 when using an iPhone 7 case (same with Plus) - end up very ugly! And also iPhone 8 is slightly thicker so will end up the case might bulge or has less protection at the front! Better check properly!

just start manufacturing new iPhone 8 / Plus specific cases already.. there's a large market for them now aduhai..

Received my new UAG Plasma case for my iPhone 8 Plus.. superb case. Love it even more as I keep holding and using it (love it for being lightweight).. price a bit high but it's worth it for its quality. Really know it's an ori product and good quality. Model is "Plasma - Ash". Ice color will suit u if you're using Silver iPhone 7/8 :




Those interested can purchase from our trusted LYN seller @sakurazz here:

the one that came free with Digi preorder plans.. Panzer Glass it's called. So far used it so good.. good quality and thick.

The free case that came with it sucks tho.. Muvit transparent case.. so easy to oily can't tahan! hence why I bought a few cases and tried out.

iPhone 8 64gb Plus la.. u can sign up Digi package 78 and buy that model for RM3k for the phone. Got Easy Payment Plan also (0% interest). Go for Plus always so that u don't have to carry a powerbank with u when u are outside for half a day.

hardware capability not your first priority but never know when might need it right? like me now settle down with kids d much less time for gaming switched over to mobile gaming instead... that hardware now matters to me. Playing any latest games on iPhone is super smooth, much more optimized than Android. That A11 bionic chip is fastest performing chip out there now too.

the real difference is when u play a graphically intense game.. much faster load speed and performance.

multitask, doing anything on the phone is much faster also. Camera is awesome too.

one major drawback - it is heavier than the 7 Plus due to glass back (to support wireless charge only plastic/glass is usable, metal will fail).. so if u put on a thick case it will become real heavy. Hence, if you're sensitive with weight issues better just go for iPhone 8 (non Plus version) - need sacrifice battery life a bit there tho. If want lightweight but have better specs and battery then iPhone X.

iOS 11.1 has improved battery life.. just launched few days ago.

need to go back to Singapore for any warranty claims.. still ok la not that far. Very seldom u will need to claim warranty

normal to overheat a bit esp if u playing some intensive games / setting brightness to max while doing so. It is how smartphone release their heat.. not only the iphone.

i would close it take a break awhile then only switch back on the app if it's too hot. Won't damage or anything la but the app might become slower/crash etc it's how iphone protects itself.
