this has been discussed earlier... its true that ios cuts off current to the phone at 100% but as your phone goes on standby, it literally drop.. so its like 100% -> 99% -> 100% -> 99% -> 100% -> 99%... after a long period of time.. it wears off the battery..
*
yes this is true.. better to plug in the charger and cable (if can original or good brand type) while using your phone, than to leave it charge overnight.

best don't install 11.2.2 patch first as it is impacting performance of iPhones.

it contains patch for meltdown and spectre bug.. but this fix is slowing down devices:

read "deal breaker" part

all the fixes for Spectre and Meltdown causing issues.. for Intel and other companies.. the patch needs to be applied onto the CPU itself which is causing performance degradation.

lets hope there won't be an attack that is made of Spectre and Meltdown vulnerability. If got it's gonna be devastating since almost all devices on the planet will be affected.

True Tone display is good coz it won't spoil/hurt your eyes as much when looking at it in a dark environment.

+1 yup agreed.

I even switch on night mode 9pm to 6am (via scheduled settings) in case I need to look at my phone during those times.

Study has proven a yellow screen helps you sleep better at night:

Yeap, planning to get it from UAG official store too. But you said bulky, i bought one casing from Rhinoshield, its abit bulky too, now i left it in the drawer 🙊 Any slim casing with nice protection to recommend?
*
their videos here (tests and stuffs - can search other ppl testing also in youtube):
https://www.youtube.com/user/urbanarmorgear/videos

yea Monarch will be a higher grade than my Plasma.. tradeoff is it is slightly heavier.

once u start using UAG u won't go back to other cheap cases.. biggrin.gif u will get why they are pricey.

I got mine here: https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?act=ST&f=271&t=4077350

seller trustworthy and will reply your whatsapp super fast. Ori products.

isnt that the free case by Digi last time? the one with transparent back is it? It's an oil and fingerprint magnet that one... nothing like UAG.

Using iPhone 8 now. Kinda hang and a lot bugs. It could be ram management (2gb ram) or it could be iOS (then I have nothing to blame). I installed telegram, WhatsApp, Facebook, WeChat and all. I only allowed notifications for WhatsApp. Still, I have to charge my phone twice. Go every places also need search for power outsource. A bit annoying la tbh. Nevertheless, the compact design allows me to use with one hand while I’m in my car lol
*
yeah many people underestimate the importance of a bigger battery... keep needing to plugin to a power-source gets annoying really fast.

Depends on your budget. Some of the better ones would be Otterbox Symmetry/Commuter, Spigen Tough Armor and UAG Plasma/Monarch.

I'm using UAG Plasma.. good enough if you're on a budget. Monarch has double the fall protection of Plasma.

I think if you're on a budget, even the Plasma is out of reach biggrin.gif

RM159 for the 8 Plus right? I know it's RM20 cheaper for the iPhone X.
*
ok la if you dropped your phone (slightly higher/harder than usual) something outside/inside pecah.. it's gonna costs way more than RM159 to fix.

for a phone you bought for RM3k+ why wanna save this money? It's insurance for your phone basically.

In terms of how careful I am with my phones I rate my self a 8/10, but yea shit still happens.

Examples of past "accidents" with smartphones:
1. Accidently dropped from my pocket while sitting down,
2. While driving put on passenger seat the phone flew forward when emergency break..
3. Dropped from my hands accidentally due to slippery or clumsy times..
4. While carry something and holding my phone somehow lost grip of it.
5. Dropping it on the road while entering car holding it in my hands... screen protector shattered due to road's surface.

So far this iPhone 8 plus adi dropped twice lol both with UAG on.. can tell u the sound of it dropping is not as painful and "nicer" to hear... not as loud a "thud as normal case. Phone also still ok working as normal.

So guys,

Just after 2 months of use, my iCloud account is 53% full. Means in 2 months most prolly i'll max out the 5GB.

Do you guys subscribe for the 50Gb or 200gb? Or is there any other way to back up iPhone?
*
copy out your videos/ pictures from iPhone (onto a computer) then delete everything on it. That is the main reason it took up so much space.

I see tongue.gif Maybe Monarch will be bulky than Plasma. I am new to UAG Monarch too, so far so good. I find it lighter, but of course still bulky.

Plasma's problem is it will get oily really fast.. need to always wipe with wet tissue sad.gif

no choice.. if the phone is made of plastic back I think more ppl will dislike it lol laugh.gif

wireless charging needs a plastic or glass back as surface.. Metal won't work with it.. (unless if someone invents it).
