Am I the only one not interested in the iphone x?
Animoji, i probably won't use. I don't even use emoticon in imessage. Potrait mode , I'm a guy i don't take selfie and camwhore. Face ID, I'm happy with my touch ID , I don't really need face id. Camera is probably on par with the 8+ The only thing interesting about iphone X is the OLED screen. |

QUOTE(fookiat @ Sep 27 2017, 01:48 PM) i've been using my 6 plus 16GB for nearly 3 years, Same here hard to manange 16gB, constantly have to delete "useless" photos.managing the 16GB is such a chore but the iCloud definitely helps. especially with my food photos.. haha  64GB is 4X of 16GB so i'm pretty sure it is enough. |

QUOTE(buncho89 @ Oct 12 2017, 09:23 AM) Quite confused by what they mean upfront payment and device price. so I have to subscribe 24month plan and then pay for device price AND upfront payment?? Up front payment is upfront amount that you'll have to pay. Your monthly bill will be deducted from this upfront payment for the next few months until it turns 0.Why they do that? Because the iphone device is subsidized, it is to prevent any losses if someone pays for it and not pay monthly fees for the subsequent months. This is the way telcos minimize the risk of people defaulting or people who plan to default once they get the subsidized phone. |

QUOTE(jumpstat @ Oct 12 2017, 10:47 AM) Bro, meaning at the Celcom store, to get the phone then need to pay the upfront $$$$. What about the device $$$$? Is this spread over the 24 months contract? You'll need to pay Phone price +upfront price.Monthly fees will be deducted form the upfront price until it turns 0. Phone price is NOT paid by installment, it is 1 time payment although you can convert it to installment on the credit card side. |

QUOTE(buncho89 @ Oct 12 2017, 11:02 AM) Ok so if my calculation is like this, Yes celcom subsidize the price BUT ties you to a contract for 24 months.Iphone 8+ 256gb = 3488 = ~ 3700 after GST (fark gst btw) Contract = 98*24 = ~2350 Total = ~6050 Upfront rm700 deducted from monthly contract I assume? Compared to purchasing direct from Apple assuming Iphone 8+ 256gb = 4900 98*24 = 2350 Total = 7250 so I save about 1k++ then if I buy through Celcom? No free lunches. |

QUOTE(jumpstat @ Oct 12 2017, 11:33 AM) Reason I asked is that I want to gift the phone but keep the line. So maybe sometime in the near future may just stop subscribing. You can do that , is just that you'll be blacklisted. They have your name, IC , and maybe even CC number. They can publicize your record to other telcos, and since you already sign the contract, you cannot complain to consumer tribunal as you are in the wrong. |

Oh yes 1 more thing i realise is that it is heavier than my 6 plus. Most likely due to the full glass panel.

QUOTE(realitec @ Oct 23 2017, 10:07 AM) Wonder if they support wireless fast charging, otherwise, i think fast charging charger would be enough. They said they will upgrade it to 7.5 watts which is equivalent to 1.5A charger. |

QUOTE(HAK307 @ Oct 24 2017, 05:06 AM) Hi need all your opinion here please Similar to my problem. If you can last 2 years with 16GB. I'm very sure you can last way longer with 64GB (4X more).I am using iPhone 6+ for the last 2 years. Its is 16GB and i am having a hard time using it. *u know why* Now i think i will upgrade it. Does iphone 8+ 64GB is good enough (the storage) or should i go with iPhone 7+ 128GB??  Worst come to worst just subscribe to icloud(RM3.90 50GB) and upload all your old photos there. Let's face it people don't browse for old photos . |
