Thanks for replying, I'm lazy to lug around so many devices when on the go, guess I'll stick to my wireless setup smile.gif
I have QC35 and Momentum 2 Wireless, if you want brighter sound = QC35, if you want warmer and nice vocal = Momentum 2 Wireless. The other models, I cannot comment.

I have Bowers and Wilkins P7 wireless, it is my reference sound look the quality except the weight which my head can't handle too long.

I just got B&O E8 through my friend in Changi, pretty nice True wireless earbud, sound quality was told the best on True wireless but I still think it is not great enough on the bass. I am not good at earbud thingy, Bose earwings is so much comfort to me. True wireless is one of the future BT earphone to be.

I am using B&O H5 as my wireless earbud, no doubt it's excellent in all aspect except their battery life i found out it's a bit low. I was thinking to get another AirPod as replacement
*
Now true wireless earbuds comes with charging case, shouldn't be an issue to last whole day, doubt one can continuously play for more than 4 hours. With the charging case E8 can last 12 hours.

E8 have 12 hours battery life really amazing.
H5 only able to sustain 4-5 hours which really it's hinder, need to charge it frequently and its charger is very unique (no charging case) need to carry everywhere you travel. Reason i bought it is for sport convenience purpose
*
No, E8 spec at 4 hours, charging case is 8 hours but they are very handy.

B&O E8 is one of the most expensive if not the most, many other choices. I tried this one not too bad actually.

Hahaha, nowadays can’t keep upgrading iPhones due to the price. I mean technically I can afford it, but I’m finding it very difficult to justify the cost.
*
Actually not true, I have been doing that for the past 8 years. My last calculation of selling 6 plus, 6S plus and 7 plus is total of RM3000 loss. Not too bad, imagine if one 6 plus died after using for 3 years, the lost should be more than RM3000. Nevertheless I would expect the losses of iPhone X is more due to the pricey cost of ownership and how many will be willing to fork out 4-5K for a used phone, will see in about a year time.

I think the wireless charging will auto cut off when fully charged. Using nokia one and the phone doesnt feel warm at all when i woke up in the morning
*
I have 4 china brand wireless charger, those brand I know for casing and lightning cable. Been using wireless charger since 4-Nov until now, never felt hot at all compare to 2A cable charging. Just remember don't set autolock to NEVER, only time I can't get full charge when I update to 11.2.1 and set to autolock to NEVER , other than that, i suspect our wireless charger except Belkin, Mophie and Ravpower can't charge 7.5W. Still finding way to check what wattage it charge, still no idea.

Anyone has problems with the GPS?
My GPS signal is not sensitive.
Waze maps n google maps all having problems.
Like the signal is not keeping up with my speed.  Very lag. Sometimes will suddenly disappear. And appear next Street.
Nv have problems with my older iphone.

Welcome to Intel Modem, this problem started since 7, never learnt! GPS is not bad, it sucks at times, frustrating for the highest end phone we have paid. Worse than old 5s if u ask me.

It didn't  show. But after I clicked install I got charged for  it.

Is there anyway to reverse it?

Can u help me to check if SwiftKey is a free or paid app?
*
Contact apple through email of your invoice to get the reversal, I got few times, even the app I really pay for it but 'regret' buying as not meeting my expectation. Always can get back money within few days.

Anyone here having the issue of crackling speaker when the volume is set at high or max?? This is so annoying for a RM5k phone, wondering if it's a widespread issue or only me
*
Make sure it is not lousy source you are talking about, when i was with Maxis call and waiting for the officer reply with Maxis lousy ad song, ya it cracks my X's speaker with such lousy quality, if you play from nice songs and it is cracking than something wrong. Else it is rubbish in rubbish out, don't expect the speaker to beautify it, it is loud but if lousy source, it may sound crack. My observation so far.

Is the broken one full or not full SP?
*
I think we have watched cheap and super expensive(US$55 SP) drop test, all the same no proper casing the LCD may crack due to shock from the side, doubt your SP will save it if hit hard on side without casing. I am using taobao SP for 1 month plus. Currently on Baseus, have other brand Hoda, Divi but the latter yet using since Baseus one still nice.

My thought is get good casing to protect from drop but SP shouldn't be more than RM50 since they are breakable. So long not easily scratched and crystal clear should be good enough. iPhone X in theory has better impact on side since the stainless steel is harder to dent until causing your LCD to crack, still it is heavy phone casing still most important. But am having issue to get thick casing as it penalizes me daily with thick phone to be used. haha

was the side easy to crack? i notice thats the common problem for full SP.

Full SP with PET material(soft and can be bent) is lasting. I have experience RM89 non full TP from Switch, also can crack when knock accidentally on table etc. Won't pay too high on TP now.

the intel modem affecting the GPS?
so qualcomm modem will be better in this sense?

I have compared my ipad pro 2017 with qualcomm modem side by side with my X. When I reach the destination, my X still ask me to turn one circle while my iPad Pro told me reached. My friend who has Qualcomm 8+ also complain got problem but it is voice and image different, think is better my experience with X and 7+.

I've had the 7 Plus and 8 Plus and both also no problems with GPS despite having an Intel modem.

Which app you using? Am using Google map and Waze having same issues, surprise you don't see problem as I may only use 10% of the time, having problem 20% of the time. Worst was in KL 500m journey become 4km as the GPS can't lock to tell me the direction fast enough.

possible with car tint? my friend car uses expensive 3k+ tint, when i sit his car go KL, sometime will lag bit, but my car in KL, i have no issue with my X, i have been using ipx with GPS at KL for few days last week only, when i sit friend car, my X GPS seems lag bit... he told me his tint expensive, maybe too thick  hmm.gif  biggrin.gif

p/s: my car dont have tint  cry.gif
*
All your comment are valid, using Vkool which has metal material that attenuate the wireless signal strength according to the shop, but.... my experience with 6S+, 6+ were much much better, same tint and on my iPad Pro which is much inside the car(since it is too big to be at dashboard) still I can detect much better.

My backup plan is used iPad Pro when I am on important travel, Intel continue to disappoint me. Even my friend who is in Sg on 7+ having hard time on Pokemon Go which rely on GPS accuracy. Ya can tint and how far from windscreen has a play but my ipad pro prove it not necessarily true.

Anyway on 11.2.1, will continue to monitor, thanks for the thoughts.

I have read through Apple website many in US also complain https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8189221

One of the quote: "So I went and traded my AT&T iPhone X for a sim-free iPhone X (which includes CDMA, etc, but also has the Qualcomm chipset versus the Intel chipset). GPS accuracy seems better. I have not tested it super extensively, but the at a glance tests seem similar to my other (older) i-Devices. The AT&T one was never as accurate as the older devices."

Miss Qualcomm on my iPhone....
