QUOTE(sonic_sphere @ Dec 13 2017, 01:12 AM) Anybody here upgrading iPhone X from previous Plus version (6, 6S, 7 or 8 +)...? I'm using 7 Plus now, really tempting to buy iPhone X, but the only thing is i'm afraid cannot adapt to smaller screen because i have used Plus version for a fews years back until now... My thoughts exactly, ha ha. The iPhone 5S was the last small iPhone I used. Then it was the 6 Plus, 6S Plus, the 7 Plus and the 8 Plus. I’ve also been to the shops a few times to fiddle around with the X but can’t quite decide if I would like it on a daily basis. And the price is a factor, because if I don’t like it, I can’t easily sell it off to downgrade coz it’s hard to sell something that expensive second hand... I know I personally may not even buy such an expensive item second hand  For me a smaller screen is OK as I don’t watch videos on my phone, I prefer to do it on my iPad. I’m more concerned on the battery life, the lack of a battery percentage indicator at the status bar (or what’s left of it) and especially stability of apps running on the X.

QUOTE(clement5949 @ Dec 13 2017, 09:26 AM) Guys, I need a little bit help. Damn, my manager everyday trying to promote how nice is his galaxy note 8 and how many gimmick function he has. I told Samsung really cannot pakai one but he said our iPhone X still using Samsung OLED! I am a person doesn’t like to fight back but if this is ur situation, would u fight back or give him a silent treatment? Bring out your iPhone X from your left pocket, take out a Note 8 from your right pocket, put them beside each other, tell him boss, I have both. Actually, comparing phones is futile and childish. Everyone has different needs and preferences.

QUOTE(apowerfulskill @ Dec 13 2017, 12:45 PM) Wait so it fails 100% of the time? I’m pretty sure he meant works 100% of the time. Otherwise, we’ll have a problem with a 5k phone

QUOTE(kennt0312 @ Dec 13 2017, 02:51 PM) woah 4k for X. is like 23% off. Most likely Telco sets but good deal nonetheless, save for the risk of the phone being barred due to lapse in payments.

QUOTE(dikae @ Dec 13 2017, 03:21 PM) I thought phone only get barred for bad record if u get maxis zerolution or celcom easyphone plan? Yup. But there's no Zerolution for iPhones anymore so it's either Celcom or U Mobile (micro credit).

QUOTE(kennt0312 @ Dec 13 2017, 03:28 PM) PMed the seller. he say telco set but guarantee wont get locked and if locked just go back and find him. still dare not buy, if really get locked don't really think can "go back find him" if he disappeared.  QUOTE(dikae @ Dec 13 2017, 03:31 PM) haha you need to check if its easyphone celcom or umobile (whatever they call it), if yes then not worth the risk, like you said... once sold you probably never seen him again...  Well, fortune favors the bold

I checked their online site and seems sim free sets were very limited in availability previously, maybe better now. Also eager to see your comparison between Qualcomm and Intel modems

QUOTE(nas @ Dec 14 2017, 05:37 PM) Heard that even though it is Qualcomm modem, Apple sort of limit/cap the speed to match that of Intel’s modem so they perform the same. Yeah, I read about this as well. Also read with their on-going lawsuits Apple may just drop Qualcomm and go with Intel for the next gen.

QUOTE(Reventon @ Dec 15 2017, 05:39 PM) It does make sense. Read over macrumors forum everyone including their grandmother having superb battery life and some even quote literally impossible to fully drain the battery in a full day lol. So far i am quite good with my 8+ battery life. I am sucker when come to battery life for phone. One of the top considered before i buy any phone. If the X able to outperform 8+ by a noticable margin i would jump to it soon Same here. Battery life first for me, everything else secondary. Haven't had the need to carry a power bank since iPhone 6 Plus, and certainly don't intend to now. Or ever again.

QUOTE(yupio @ Dec 15 2017, 06:12 PM) I believe the X battery is not as good as the Plus models but also not as bad until we have to use powerbank. Still ok to last whole day. Ya I'm not a heavy user by any means. All I ask is for 24 hours standby coupled with 4-5 hours SOT max. If my current Mi A1 can do that at one/fifth of the iPhone X price....

QUOTE(Reventon @ Dec 16 2017, 03:51 AM) Not sure on the x but my 8+ gps locking is definitely slower than my previous iphones. Not sure why but definitely not bad as my previous note 3 which is horrible. Someone mention its because the intel modem ? My 8+ (or rather, my wife’s 8+ now) locks on pretty fast. What network are you on? We’re on maxis.

Ppl pay what they like, u got how deep of pocket u pay what u can get. Just like previously u can get standard persona only so u get standard persona whilst i get the full specs one  Spend what u like, use what u like, end of story. And yes, I can defitely tell iOS user experience is better than android overall, its just personal preferences. U dont have the money, gtfo, go with ur choice :thumbsup: Edit: And oh ya, I've been using iOS and android for a long time, mostly use my android phone (current one redmi note 4) as secondary phone and use as it mostly for GPS navigator to not harm my expensive piece of gadget  QUOTE(D-Frog @ Dec 16 2017, 09:40 AM) Sounds like you never use an iPhone before. Where in our world. Specifications don't really matter It's almost the end of 2017, guys. Don't feed the trolls.
