Do you charge it to 100% always, or hardly?

I charge it to 100% always and my battery health now shows max capacity 98% sad.gif

At first yes, because I'm a little ocd lol must charge it to 100 only unplug, but now I'm not so obsessed since there is no need. I just unplug when I wanna use it now

So ios12 have group notification. But i hope apple still give us the option to have individual notification coz i prefer it that way. I usually prefer to read whatsapp message without opening whatsapp app. sad.gif

I think u can still read the messages without opening the app, just press the notification and it will expand

What I was hoping for is the ipx gesture can be introduced into other iPhone as well, they did that to the iPad though

Just updated to iOS 12 GM, phone feels noticeably quicker, need some getting used to. Still wondering if it would make any difference if I factory reset it

oh how i love your reply! exactly what i came here forĀ  thumbup.gif

as for the bold part, yeah i tend to agree...sure the hardware and software is future proof given how good iPhone track record is, but not the outdated design...worried that might be the buyers' remorse after 1 year of using it. hard to swallow but edge-to-edge display with notch is the way to move forward now. makes sense when few people here recommend to opt for IPXR instead. its like buying ip8+, but with more wide/tall screen estate and face ID + A12 bionic

at one point i do consider s9, but i still cannot put my trust to samsung bloatware even how much they claim to improve. i'd rather relearn iOS gesture than to touch skinned android.

ah well, some things got be sacrificed. outdated screen but compact size, or modern edge-to-edge display but a bigger form factor.....

thanks for the well-thought output!

The iPhone XR is quite a bit bigger though, forget about using it one handedly, the edge to edge display doesn't help.
I think the iPhone x is more comparable in size to an iPhone 8, and it has seen now gone down in price.

As per other alternative, I still think the Apple still has the edge not only in raw power, and long term software support, but the general apps experience is better across the board, this might be trivial but it makes a difference when you use those apps everyday, developers just tend to give more attention to iOS apps and design and optimize it better. I've used OnePlus 3T and 6splus, while the 3T has performed quickly, apps like ig and fb still isn't as buttery smooth as on the iPhone.

I have this issue, when in portrait mode it will keep adjusting the colour and saturation ( when there's bright light at the background) I have to try a few times to get better colours

hmm, can take a few shots and show us?

Both shots are taken a few seconds apart, it seems like the camera is tweaking the colours in real time, keep changing like trying to recognize the scene.

The XR quite tempting, better battery and the new design...but have to give up dual camera, 3d touch and sharper screen...
