QUOTE(Davidtcf @ Jul 31 2018, 10:27 AM) new iPhones next round will be cheaper when newly launched.. already got rumours and speculations and leaks. Apple have lost a lot of market share recently due to high prices for their iPhone X and 8. they can't keep it up if new iPhones are priced this way when all the other competitors are slashing the price. Yes they can. Because they are Apple.

QUOTE(Klkia8881 @ Jul 31 2018, 12:58 PM) They can definitely still keep up in profits but not market share especially when they isolated big market like india And market share is quite importat Apple has always (and IMO) will always be about quality over quantity. 1 iPhone X profits = 10 One Plus 6 profits. Is one plus out selling iPhone by 10 times?

And all the fuss this week in the industry is how Huawei has overtaken Apple as the number two phone producer in the world. I think Sammy should be the one that's worried

If yes then best to get it do e at an authorized service centre like Machines. QUOTE(Mijac @ Aug 2 2018, 07:32 PM) Will Huaw3i catch up & overtake Sammy ?  QUOTE(krishtiano86 @ Aug 2 2018, 11:03 PM) Didn’t wawei overtake apple last year? Haha, no, Apple was still number two last year but Huawei are riding high on the success of their P20 series. They seem to be churning out new phones every month or so, I won't be surprised to see them top Samsung in a couple of years or so.

Thank you for enlightened me. What is the difference between the ip8 and ip8 plus glass back?  I have an iphone 8 plus with shattered glass back, dropped it on the tar road It is more expensive to replace the back glass compared to the front screen, so as of now I just slap on a casing and dun see the crack

Thank you for enlightened me. I think any drop from considerable height (ear level, maybe) on hard surface may result in a crack if your phone has no casing or protection of some sort. So if wireless charging is not important to you and you plan to use the phone naked, then the i7 with aluminum back would be a better buy for you. You'd save some money too!

Because if i take from telco, the price diff is actually insignificant. So thats why thinking to get i8 instead of i7 but because of the glass, now it freak me out. Lol. Dilemma yo.

Either i7 or i8, front all glass so it's d*mn if you do, d*mn if you don't  Why don't you wait for the next gen of iPhones? We're just 2 or 3 months away now.

Well, this phone is for my wife use. So she prefer 1 handed phone. Thats y 4.7" is max for her i think. 2018 iphone will starts with 5.5". So a little too big for her. Hence, i7 or i8.
