Its not the same as apple care.

As far as i know, apple care valid for 3 years.

Machine protection plan valid for 2 years and valid on the same day of purchase only. Meaning in single receipt.

Cant purchase separately
*
I bought this.. kinda forced to by machines if i wanna opt for 0% credit card installment.

Apple Care for iphones are 2 years. FYI. not 3 years. REF https://www.apple.com/shop/product/S6367LL/...re-for-iphone-x

Ops my bad, but then in malaysia there is no apple care for iphone.

Option only with machine protection plan or u can go with harvey norman.

Not sure whether switch provide any of this
*
true.. but i wonder if we buy apple care in other country can it be activated on malaysian phone or not?

Either way, i see the value with machines plan though. I can ensure the second hand value and also that the phone is protected for 2 years.

Oh no.
Don't make me thinking bout this again.
I mentioned the same, i should take 64gb. I only used 30-40gb since ip5. Cause ip5 bought 64gb and until previous model ip7 256gb also utilized 30-40gb only

Oh no, dont make that sound came into my mind againnn.....
*
I think 64 is sufficient. hence i went with 64gb. plus i have icloud family storage which is 200gb. so more than enough for me since the photos and videos on iphone are set to optimize storage instead of original size.

not necessary to have 256gb unless you use it alot for music and games+apps.

I guess you are not alone. Believe you are with latest iOS version too right?

i don't believe i have this issue. but i do feel the vibrate depending on where you swipe up from.

open CC.
slide up from the bottom where the horizontal line is... and you will feel a slight vibrate.

but if you slide up from anywhere in the middle of the screen, there is no vibrate.


about the tick, im not too sure about that. is it like as though the glass and oled screen not sticking together kind of feel?

I’ve used Nillkin on my other phones before and it’s pretty good, value for money. But for me it was more prone to fingerprint smudges compared to the Hoda. I’m surprised your Hoda one has chipped off but then again I have no experience using the white packaged Hoda, only ever used the yellow one.

I bought whitestonedome.

http://www.lazada.com.my/iphone-x-screen-p....250bfacfdN3zAd

Using it on my Note 8 and so far its been good to me. perfect fit. no issues with cases. Also it makes it feel solid and its a trusted brand.

have been using multiple brands in the past but nothing works as advertised. but so far this one has been good. so i got this as well. however just got it yesterday. havent had the time to put it on.

take note, its expensive. but currently its being sold for RM160 which is the cheapest. I bought mine for 199.

Yeah, that one is premium smile.gif

My problem with tempered glass protectors is that I have to buy it retail, coz I want it installed for me. I’m hopeless at DIY, ha ha. So it’s unlikely that I will buy it online and installed it myself laugh.gif

Surprisingly it is easy to fix. though i made an expensive mistake on my note 8 which created a permanent bubble and had to buy another set... lol..

wow 51h standby with 10+ usage... hows your usage? heavy on games/movies?
*
not really. havent played games on it cause clash of clans not optimized for X yet. The size is too small. I only use it mainly work stuff.. heavy on emails, documents stuff, and lots of facebook and instagram. biggrin.gif I don't disable anything as well. i have bluetooth, location and everything running.

hahahahha... true... but same usage on my iphone 6 plus can only last me 12-15 hours standby with about usage 3-4 hours.

QUOTE(realitec @ Dec 28 2017, 11:19 AM)
Happy to see iPhone X battery better than Note 8. As android fans always saying Apple battery sucks as they use different measurement. Wonderif what does it means.
*
yeah. Apple did well here i guess.

In regards to that is Android users usually look at "Screen Time". But in iOS, it is the same as "Usage Time". Thats how i see it though.

I am using my Samsung Wireless charger. Works well.

Not much, just save up some juice which trick for low brightness, turn off auto brightness, turn off location.

Better use motion rather than close it. Otherwise, u wont utilize the function of gesture on ipx.
*
yeah. not going to save much by disabling all that. Just use it full out.

I wonder have anyone here bought it ?

I remember the protection plan is not cheap at all...I think it's 600-700...can't confirm....but I guess it's worth to get for the x  smile.gif

yes I quite like the leather one from apple, but the bottom is so exposed... sweat.gif

i had that for my 6 Plus and loved the Apple Leather casing. lasted me very long but the exposed bottom was the reason i cracked my entire screen.

So i would say dont go for exposed casings. No matter what.

its so exposed and easily gather dust, which doesn't work well with stainless steel on ipx.. although I got the silver one and can be easily polished away... but I try not to polish it at all to make the material thinner..

I even strike off the spigen ultra hybrid due to the 2 small holes at the back bottom corners coz of dust issue..which was also reported one of the flaw..
*
agreed on that. But for the sake of protection why not...

have you tried dbrand skins? im using it on note 8.. very nice and easy fix. thinking about it for ipx...

one annoying thing is i cannot play clash of clans and boom beach on ipx.. the pain point of apps not optimized yet for ipx... way too small when load the game. kinda sad actually for such a big game company.

I understand that disappointment.

probably that is one reason why im still constantly averaging battery usage of 50hours standby until now. cause im playing these games on my note 8 instead.

ooo finally someone here with ipx + note 8....im looking for a company phone and am planning to get a note 8 as 2nd line.... any review? do u end up using note 8 more often than the x (in average - games movies etc)
*
Im using IPX for work phone and Note8 as Personal phone. I use IPX for work cause of security. It is much more secure than android as you know security patches for samsung comes slower compared to nexus/pixel devices. And my company is cyber security based. so security is an important factor though. biggrin.gif

But overall i use note 8 mainly but i use ipx as much as well cause note 8 battery cannot last long so it is mostly charging. That is when i use the IPX more often and with heavy facebook and instagram and work emails and stuff, it still able to last 2 full days.

ok so note 8's battery is weaker than the ipx.. good benchmark..... can share how many hours of SOT u get on ipx and note8?
*
On average:

IPX = 7 hours (Standby = 50 hours)
Note 8 = 3 hours (Standby = 8 hours)

Probably contributing factor is the games (CoC and BB) plus background applications on Note 8's Android Ecosystem.

I'll need to test with Games on IPX as well to make a fair comparison. Additionally i noticed, certain apps such as Google Search App on iOS, when running it drains battery due to Location Services. When Location service icon appears on top left of the screen, then battery drainage happens quickly on IPX.

wow 7h vs 3h is huge diff although not fair comparison.. cant wait for you to test out games on ipx and see how many hours sot u get...but from the reviews even with games/movies I think ipx can get above 5h sot...
*
lets see.. ill give this a try perhaps tomorrow or next week. due to work constraint, dont have much time recently. but surely will give it a try. else end of the month i surely will play more IPX based games while travelling overseas... since it will be boring in long haul flights. maybe that can help determine the SOT better.
