Did the TCO analysis of sticking with my current redone (10gb) plan for 2 years + buying the ipx 256 outright at retail price VS signing up for a 2 year contract with celcom (20+20gb) + get the phone at subsidized price.

TCO a wee bit lower with celcom. Signed up for the rm98 plan with the ipx. Finally leaving Android for my first new iPhone purchase.

Congrats! Out of curiosity, which Android phone was it?

Leaving the Note 5. Serving me well for 2 years now and it's time for it to retire.

Time for a smaller sized phone.

Hello,

Can anyone redirect me to an online store where I can find

-A transparent hard plastic casing
-Reasonably priced tempered glass screen protector

It's been a while since I visited the an Apple store and browsed the casings and screen protector section. Got a shock to see some tempered glass protectors selling for +RM150. The cheapest I've managed to find so far was RM 10 from one of those mall resellers, with installation foc.

all together (celcom gold 98 + easyphone 192 ipX 256GB + Protection 50 + gst) = rm360+- monthly

im ok with this plan bcoz i can sell my ip7plus to cover back $$$  rclxms.gif

So the phone itself over 2 years will cost (192+50)+6% gst ka? About 6156.48 (with better warranty) which is not too much over 5899, yes?

So you see, sometimes choosing a telco is not always about the cheapest package offered.

So true. If price was the only important factor in choosing something, I wouldn't be spending 5K+ on a smartphone..

I dropped by Maxis gardens. There is around 7 ppl in queue while others are being serviced.

Went to machines to have a look at the X. They only have one X per display counter. The gardens outlet had only one x while the MV outlet had two. Silver is really nice ler. I’m tempted to change the color. Screen size is acceptable to me. The phone fits just fine in my hands and isn’t heavy. So far so good, imo.
*
The ip-X has a surprisingly solid weight in it. Not exactly heavy but more like high density. I was using a Note 5 and an iPhone 6 previously and I was positively shocked by the massive feel of the ip-X.

Those coming from Plus iPhones probably feel that the ip-X is light blush.gif

You can see the % when you pull down control center.

Or add it to your widget screen (left of the home screen).

Another issue besides cant check our phones quickly and discreetly is, notifications coming in like Whatsapp etc does not show content until you unlock it using face id. Sometimes we need to take a peek to see whose message came in before deciding if we were to check the messages. In a way, it prevents unnecessary peeking at the incoming messages, but in another way its more troublesome. Call me old school, but I still prefer fingerprint unlocking because face id cumbersome and slow.
*
I think the message preview (when phone is locked) can be enabled if you wish. I like the privacy though biggrin.gif

Wonder if FaceID still works in cinema if you suddenly want to check something.

Yes it does. Darkness is no issue, based on my experience.

There is always passcode entry as backup unlock method anyway when face or touch ID fails.

Not at all.. The x experience is like a difference class of device both in terms of hardware and software. I've been using both android and ios the last 2+years and the ipx feels like a fresh experience.
