Contemplating either to go for 7+ or 8+.

Coming from Android 4.0 btw, holding the trigger still

Totally a different platform. Any iphones will do better, especially in terms of lags.

That is why. I've been using old android for a few years

Now shifting to iOS for better daily experience. Will pull trigger when its officially launched

Personally I will go for 8+

Reasons why;

1. I don't own any iPhones yet
2. If i fancy a bezelless phone, will just get S8 or a V30
3. A11 bionic chip
4. Camera(s)

Not sure if I wanna purchase from SG or wait for MY to come

Either or, will wait for my casing to arrive (rhinoshield) on mid Oct

For me, I'd always choose the Plus model over the non-Plus model mainly because of the battery life.

The battery is smaller than last year 7+ right? I hope this year's hardware & software will give better performance in battery life

I wrote somewhere, the self-collect option has been disabled due to high amounts of cancellation. When Apple ship the product to the branch, if the buyer cancelled the order, the branch would have trouble on relocating that phone as iPhone 8/8+ demand is really low compared to iphone 7/7+ as mostly people waiting for ipong X.

I see, thanks for your clarification. I think I will just wait for it to come to our shore

Most of you guys went / go for 256gb or 64gb?

Cant make up my mind.. for casual user 256gb is overkill?

If u heavy in taking video 4k, go 256gb.

Not into 4K that much, and probably just 1080p
Photos can put in cloud :thinking:

Still worth the ~MYR500 to pay for 256gb?

thumbup.gif great! enjoy your phone biggrin.gif

Just wondering, iphone7 storage speed was different, 32gb being the slowest and 128gb on wards faster than 32gb.

For iphone8, 64gb and 256gb have the same speed transfer?

Price different 64GB and 256GB is RM750 or more friend.

Yes, but does it justify as worth the gap from 64GB to 256GB.

it depends if you need that much of space. I got used to big space since 7+, and enjoy putting all photos even very old one into my devices. 256GB really give you the freedom to record 60fps 1080p or 4k without worries. If you can live with 64GB and don't intend to keep this very long(cycle next year) 64GB maybe enough.
*
Thank you for your insights. I intend to use the phone for a few years, until the a11 chip runs out of its capabilities

Maybe the gap is worth for my case, I hope.

For those who already got 8 / 8+,

I see, do you have any recommendations for SP?

I tend to drop my phone a lot (I cracked my previous phone's screen), I'll be pairing my 8+ with rhinoshield bumper case
