QUOTE(krishtiano86 @ Aug 1 2018, 09:28 AM) My point exactly. Apple doesn’t need a cheap phone. Their target market is totally different than all other manufacturers. 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   |

QUOTE(EdwinCodec @ Aug 2 2018, 02:19 PM) Hi Sifus, Is your phone still under warranty? If yes then best to get it do e at an authorized service centre like Machines.Any recommended place to fix a cracked iPhone 8 screen? Or should I just send back to 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. |

QUOTE(tsg_7 @ Aug 3 2018, 01:31 PM) Hi all sifus, 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!Sorry i did not go thru all the thread from v1 till this version. So im not sure whether this question has been asked from other forumer or not. Basically i would like to know any user i8 (not plus version) has shattered their back glass? And under what situation or how it drop till the glass shatter? Im thinking whether to get i7 or i8. Thank you for enlightened me. |

QUOTE(tsg_7 @ Aug 4 2018, 11:12 AM) 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. |

QUOTE(tsg_7 @ Aug 4 2018, 01:02 PM) 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. Actually the iPhone X is not that much bigger compared to the iPhone 7 or 8 in terms of dimensions, and does work one-handed quite well.The price, of course, is another story |

QUOTE(leahcim @ Aug 8 2018, 06:39 PM) Dear guys, I'm hoping to get some feedback and opinion here on buying a new phone. Even if there is a price cut after the new phones are launched, the price you get with a Telco subsidy is still much lower. So if you need the phone, just go ahead and get it. If you're not in a hurry, then by all means do wait. Even if there is a 6% tax, the drop in price could be more than 6%.I'm planning to get either Iphone 8 (256GB) - RM2,180 or 8 Plus (64GB) - RM2,615 under Maxis One plan. But currently undecided whether should I buy it during this last month of GST zero period or should i just wait for the new launch of the Iphone which expected to launch next month? With the launch of new Iphone. Do you think that the Iphone 8 or Iphone 8 Plus price would drop much with the consideration of SST kicking in too? Thanks |

QUOTE(leahcim @ Aug 11 2018, 12:18 AM) Noted. Thanks for the feedback. I think i would wait till they launch the new iphone before deciding whether to get iphone 8 or other model. Yup, wise move.Samsung has showed it's hand, and I must say the price and pre-order offer is rather compelling. Let's see what Apple has in store. |

QUOTE(tsg_7 @ Aug 11 2018, 11:23 PM) Btw, if using cheap casing, possible to protect the glasses? Depends on the casing. If it's sturdy enough, it should protect the phone but also sometimes depends on how you drop it |

QUOTE(annoymous1234 @ Aug 13 2018, 12:18 PM) So rich. Are u like Benny? Lol Hahaha, actually not rich la. I buy, try and then sell I tend to keep my iPhones for much longer (a year), but yeah, Android devices I usually sell after a month or two. Every time I buy and sell, rugi a couple of hundreds. So I see it like spending money on a bad habit like say drinking or smoking, ha ha... Edit: I think Uncle Benny keeps his devices far longer than me, hahaha... I did buy his HTC U11 sometime ago though This post has been edited by attw: Aug 13 2018, 01:35 PM |

QUOTE(JustcallmeLarry @ Aug 13 2018, 10:56 PM) Hey guys hope i dont offend anyone asking this here. I think it's unlikely that the new iPhones will go for less than 3k, considering that the US Dollar is strengthening. 3.5k to 4k would be my guess.Will the new LCD display iphone that coming out soon be price below RM3k? Or it will be around iphone 8 price which is almost RM3.5k??? |
