dah jgn gaduh2. dont get the phone la. boring la this phone. sampai sekarang i dont know why i bought this phone x except the Hype surrounding it..

1) Pig face Animoji "limited-to-10-secs"? sent it to few friends, and u will get bored with it within few days.
2) Face ID? It works flawlessly, but finger print better.
3) No home button. Yeah. swiping up is the "new trend".
4) great camera - nahh....
5) Oled screen - this is the only big point of having an iphone X. But i do compare it on previous iphone, the different seems negligible with naked eye.

Its a great phone. No doubt. But its a hype and expensive. The thing will fades after 2 days of using it. And i no longer feel proud of using it. So yes. u nak beli u beli. u tak nak beli u jgn beli. simple. Ha ha ha ha.

Haram tu bro....! laugh.gif

What you said is correct bro. The hype and excitement fades after two days using it. Im getting used to not having the home button as well. laugh.gif
One thing I can say I really enjoy about the phone is, its smaller size and lighter body than the 7+. nod.gif

You gotta be kidding me. Mine could last at least a day with heavy usage.

Bro, one more question on the lack of TouchID, does that mean banking apps like Maybank2u, Citi MY, etc. won't have the quick balance check feature that we can do with our TouchID right?
*
QUOTE(deepan84 @ Nov 14 2017, 02:54 PM)
i read somewhere..all TouchID security will be channeled to FaceID automatically by Apple. direct replacement.
*
Yes. All touch ID security will be channeled to Face ID for iphone x and future iphone models. That is why I am still a bit skeptical when any apps which requires authentication scans our face again to access "more private" details eg banking or purchasing apps on Applestore. But for banking I still use safari to access because I feel it is more secure compared to using apps.

For those who are using the 64GB, how much is the available storage on your phone before you restore?

Why not? Its only the notch at the top which is a bit weird when you start using the phone.

Removing the notch on your Iphone X

hi guys , is it hard to get Iphone X in Singapore? Not sure if will be the same in Malaysia during launch later?
*
It should not be hard to get one unit in SG right now as stocks are stabilizing. But why not get in MY as preroders are going to start on Friday and you could get your phones next Friday?


QUOTE(attw @ Nov 15 2017, 11:27 AM)
Buying from Apple Online means no tax refunds, if not mistaken.
*
Yes, if you buy online, you do not qualify for tax refunds. You need to buy, pay and get the invoice from the physical store to get tax refunds at the airport.

Until now still can't accept that notch.
Otherwise is perfect design

Its not that bad actually. I have sort of gotten used to it. But since there is an app to hide the notch, then we have to get used to not having the notch again.

Cheaper to get in SG if got tax refunds. Anyways, I’ve gone from 70-80% sure of getting the iPhone X to 50% being on the fence now. Let’s see the real unit on the 24th first.

Mana boleh... die die must buy bro. Iphone x ma.... brows.gif

Anyway, I would not say the hype has died down. Just that not many on this thread own the phone yet and hence the limited discussion on it. I think by next week, the usual questions like SG VS MY set, can I claim in Malaysia for foreign set, what kind of cases to use, screen protector questions will be coming alive. laugh.gif

Haha, yeah, I know. But most people I know who bought one (not just on this forum) said after a few days, the feeling is not so “special”. In fact some of them reverted back to their 7 Plus smile.gif
*
TBH, many will be very resistant to new tecnology. Especially when you have been using thumb print unlock for so many years and suddenly you have to use face recognition. That would be one of the main reasons for changing back to the 7+. Other than that, I dont see any other reasons to do so.

I really feel cheated right now. doh.gif

The screen somehow feels bigger than the 7+ before I read this. Its something like the S8/S8+/ Note 8. Long but slimmer kind of feel.

Like mentioned by a forummer here, I highly suspect the current X to be the model to be replacing the current Iphone 8 form factor and Apple would definately be coming up with a plus version of the X on the next iteration of the Iphone.

Lol. And I’m actually considering to upgrade to S8+ from my 7+

Can someone confirm if the S8 plus is indeed having a bigger screen. I mean 6.2 vs 5.5. Should be kua
*
Like mentioned, it is longer not wider. This is debatable and up to you to decide if it is really bigger.

You have used the phone before. Surely you have a preference by now?

I am still using the X. If you ask me if I will move back to the 7+, then I will definately tell you NO!. I still love the form and size of the X. laugh.gif

But the umpp and satisfaction is not there anymore. Not after reading so many articles that are not in favour of the phone. shakehead.gif

About the face Id, dont worry about it. Like mentioned, our brain are somehow programmed to reject changes to our norm. So you will get used to it, albeit it will take some time. Im getting used to it but I still feel it is slower than finger print unlock.

If u were upgrading from iPhone 6 and below face id will be better. 6s and above,  I would say face id is slower a bit. But it still good. If only they can tolerate swipe up without sliding it from bottom. Or else u will feel the face id is not working properly but it's actually working
*
The swipe from the bottom is already a standard feature/ command of the Iphone X. I do think there are very limited gestures Apple could come up for different commands since they have to do without the home button. My only gripe is I keep looking at the lock/unlock waiting for it to unlock though I already know that it will unlock. I need to change this bad habit because it actually slows down the unlocking of the phone.

QUOTE(johnm @ Nov 15 2017, 08:43 PM)
X users, wanna ask on home screen is it true can't do horizontal rotate anymore?
*
No. You cant rotate the homescreen. It is actually a feature for the + models of the iphone. Like mentioned previously, the is a high probability that Apple would come up with a + model for the iphone x next year.

I would say you shouldnt rush into ordering the phone without comparing all the available plans from different telcos.

And apart from the inability to rotate the home screen, I've read that the magnify functionality is also non-existing for the X.
For the current model, we can magnify the screen by using the 3 fingers gesture (provided you have turn the option ON in the settings)
*
Apparently, there is. As usualy you need to enable magnifier in your settings first.

To use,
1) Triple-tap the side button to open Magnifier
A – and + Magnifier slider will appear at the bottom of the screen as usual.
