Wow that's great. I've been on the fence about swapping my 7 plus for the X as I was worried about the smaller battery capacity. Guess there was no cause for concern at all.

I was at Digi 1U earlier. Absolutely no stock for the 256GB.

Hahaha. I'll probably drop by Digi Midvalley or Bangsar tomorrow if time allows. Wish me luck!

I've held my colleague's X in my hands before and I just looooovvvveeeeeeee its size. A zillion times more comfortable than holding the 7 plus and I don't really have the smallest hands, mind you. I seriously love the fact that I can slip a range topping iphone into the pocket of my jeans. Too many years of holding onto my phone whenever I'm out and about and I freaking hate it already.

Also, the gestures became somewhat second nature only after a few minutes of handling the X so I doubt I'll miss the home button much.

However, I think your battery life experience has finally made me decide to get the X.

Nooiiicceeee. The 7 plus fits into my car's cup holder too but with the case on, it takes more than one cup holder to hold it

bro, you running 2mdb or 3mdb?

By the way, anyone using the otterbox pursuit? I've been using the lifeproof fre on my 7 plus but they've yet to release one for the ipx. The pursuit case seems to be the closest to the fre that's currently available.

Yep that's the one, saw it at machines going for rm319

My 7 plus battery can last me for 2 days on average these days. Was even better prior to ios11, easily 2.5 days before recharging. Excited to see how long the ipx can last based on my usage.

Yea I've never liked the defender series. The silicone outer piece is a lint magnet and makes keeping and pulling the phone out of your pants pocket a real pain. The commuter is much better as the outer hard shell actually helps in maneuvering it in/out of your pockets. However the cut out for the Apple logo is exposed, which is strange.

The new pursuit series was meant to be an in between case, supposedly giving you the best of the defender and commuter but with a lot less bulk than the defender.

Actually based on this youtube guy's test, the 29W charger isn't THAT much faster than the ipad charger.

Don't think I'll pay 300+ for the 29W charger + USB-C cable combo to save half an hour or so.




First time embedding youtube videos here. Keeping my fingers crossed. *Edit - Hey hey it worked.

But the material they use in the case seems pretty crazy.

Apparently they use the actual material. If it's the bamboo design they'll use real bamboo. If it's the carbon fiber design they'll use real carbon fiber. Etc

Shouldn't there be a case for warranty claim? IPx7 is supposed to protect your device against the effect of immersion between 15cm and 1m for 30 minutes. If your phone was submerged within the IPx7 depth and duration limits, it means the water sealing would have failed somewhere.

For a more accurate description, the IEC states that a 7 rating ensures ingress of water in harmful quantity shall not be possible when the enclosure is immersed in water under defined conditions of pressure and time (up to 1m of submersion) and guarantees protection for up to 30 minutes.

True. There isn't really a way for the owner to prove that the phone was submerged within limits. Unless they find some defects with the water seal when opening up the phone, maybe then it can still be argued.

Feel so sorry for you. The IP rating should in fact be a guarantee of its performance and we should be confident in it. Any failures from utilizing the device within limits are definitely manufacturing defects. No manufacturer tests 100% of their products and no manufacturer's output is 100% perfect so there are bound to be some lemon units. 2900+ is 70% of the price of a brand new iphone x in the US and it's already considered expensive for americans in general. Yet we're paying such an amount just to replace a lemon unit.

But to open up your phone to check on the water seal, they'd have to first break the seal before your phone can be opened up. Catch22 situation.

Yea that's painful. When my girlfriend got her S7 Edge, she dropped it and smashed the screen in the first month itself. Cost me about 1k to have it changed. When we were on holiday recently, she dropped it and smashed the screen again. Aiiiiii.

Which is why I'm trying to get an ipx now so that I can pass her my 7 plus but digi is making my life very misrable.

How'd you even get them to give you a free replacement for a phone with a cracked screen? That's impressive.

Both times pun ada glass sp bro but both times also dropped on tarmac la. She doesn’t like bulky cases though so I got her the Samsung clear view case. Doesn't really offer much protection. Just looks good.

Think I read somewhere that these ikea lamp/wireless chargers are low powered ones. Apparently it'll charge your x very slowly and it'll just keep your battery warmer for a longer period of time. In other words, it may look nice and convenient but it may not be that good for your phone battery in the long run, especially in hot climates like ours.

But having said that, since battery replacement only costs RM129 nowadays....

Yep. Workmanship is another.

Yea and look at how badly vertu failed. There's bound to be a limit for most buyers, regardless of how passionate they may be.

Not really though. My iPad air 1 came with a 12w but my iPad Pro got a 10w instead. It's a mixed bag of chargers with iPads.

Yep. Check the online apple forums. There's been a lot of confusion regarding this.

Anyways to bring this issue back on topic, since I've been charging my iPad Pro using my old iPad air 12w charger, I have a brand new 10w charger waiting for my incoming ipx
