Hi all sifus,

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.

What is the difference between the ip8 and ip8 plus glass back? hmm.gif
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  whistling.gif

Previously naked? No casing?

QUOTE(attw @ Aug 4 2018, 10:56 AM)
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 laugh.gif

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.

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 laugh.gif
*
Lol. My wife hand is not that big to fit 1 hand more than 5".

Dear guys, I'm hoping to get some feedback and opinion here on buying a new phone.

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
*
Hahaha. Same goes here. But i think will price down.

Depends on the casing. If it's sturdy enough, it should protect the phone but also sometimes depends on how you drop it laugh.gif

Hmmm..then will go shops around in ninjaz..

Hahaha, actually not rich la. I buy, try and then sell laugh.gif

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 smile.gif

Monthly lose couple of hundred, 1 year can buy new phone liao with the money. Lol. Being say that, u have a special thinking to comfort yourself ya...lol..

Hey guys hope i dont offend anyone asking this here.
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???
*
Is iphone 8 RM3.5k refer to 64GB?
Anyway, i agree with @attw, with the new tax system, our weak currency and also, do u see nowadays flagship phone price starts with RM2xxx.xx? Lol. Hardly.
