hi apple lads, ayam got aquestion...

is iP8 still worth to be getting nowadays???

been using android for more than 5 years now and current oneplus one is dying, in need of new phones. but the problem is there's not much of a choice when it comes to reliable 5" inch phone(thanks to samsung brick note for starting this trend).

so i've narrowed it down to iP8

but in terms of the device itself and its high price point. is it really worth it for long running, the plan is to keep using it until 3-4 years to come. what are the drawbacks here? is there any better alternative? (my guess is no alt. , but i could be overlooking)

hopefully can get some advice/caution here before pulling the trigger and then be regret with this decision making(which i really want to avoid)

cheers!

Even if the phone can still be used after 3-4 years, the battery life will shorten and it’s a problem. I don’t think any phone can still maintain 70% or its initial battery capacity after so many years.

eh isn't this is because due to charging habit, errynight charge until full when you dont have to. just keep it at 80-90 to 20 percent is enough

and from the way you're saying it...seems like battery replacement program is bad thing?

btw what's your verdict then? skip iP8 and buy sth else?

My point is, no matter how stable iPhone is even after 3-4 years , the battery will still fail, although other hardware parts might still be ok. I think if u are a heavy user after using it for 2 years u will realise the shorten battery life.

which means buying iP8 is a bad thing then? even from financial standpoint?

it obvious you're going for battery even from first reply...but i just don't see any continuity from there

you keep on babbling about battery life and that's it! there's no end-to-end solution to that

Haha sorry mate, I can’t gv u a definitive conclusion. Its all up to ur own interpreting. If you have budget and you like iOS then why not? Just go for whatever u can afford.

Can just change battery and it will gives a new life to the phone. It is not necessary to change phone due to battery life.

But then without battery replacement program, you need to fork out 300-400 to change the battery, not sure if one is willing to pay for that.
