QUOTE(jason0416 @ May 23 2018, 11:01 PM) Now no need to resolve. Phone die after few days due to water damage ... really wtf*** usually just clesn the ohonr eith tap water and water leak into the phone. Great ip67, sucks! sorry to heard that. QUOTE(kmrdeva @ May 23 2018, 11:45 PM) AFAIK, neither Apple nor Samsung officially extend warranty cover for their ip67 and ip68 smartphones when it comes to water damage. Dunno about you guys and girls but I really avoid taking risks with my expensive ‘water resistant’ phones when it comes to water exposure. Old habits die hard I guess. no i cant refuse to use water tap and soap to clean my phone... i feel very dirty if i dun wash it... QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ May 24 2018, 01:19 PM) I do wash my phone at times, I bring it along to the pool and use it while my hands are wet but I dont dip the phone into water. So far so good.  give me five

I remove my phones from their cases and wipe both phone and case clean with a wet towel about twice a week. Maybe I’m just an old fashioned guy ha ha.

QUOTE(attw @ May 25 2018, 07:15 AM) Probably true also, haha. Anyway the fruit phone value also doesn’t hold as well as it used to. So a little wait is also OK  Shouldn’t be an issue, I think. My colleague’s 6 Plus is coming into its fourth year now and still running fine, albeit a little slowly. i think price won't be higher than 6k for the highest spec... maybe about 5.5k i won't go for retail price as this price is ridiculously high LOL. i agree with u. android to go for mid range will do.

Only see scratches on my screen protector. Dunno about the back glass since I have a film/skin attached. Probably have some micro scratches that I cannot notice, here and there but nothing major.

The iPhone X 256GB retailed at 5899, which is pretty close to 6k already. So 6k is still a possibility  Anyways, you’re right, too expensive to buy a fruit phone outright at RRP these days. Either a telco contract or online

My colleague’s 6 Plus is coming into its fourth year now and still running fine, albeit a little slowly. Not to say that it doesn't hold as well as it used to be. But the phone's selling price is outrageous. You are paying almost Rm5899k for a 256Gb. How much do you expect to sell it after a year? Rm4k? I wouldn't buy a one year old, out of warranty phone for Rm4k. That is why the prices keeps depreciating a lot.

Miss those days  From the Iphone 4 to the 5S, we only lose about a few hundred Ringgits for a one year old phone. Those were the days. It was also because Apple increased the prices for each new iteration of the iphone and therefore we could sell an older 1 year old model less a few hundreds of our purchase price. Starting from the 6S era, the second value of these phones went downhill because of the high RRPs.

Just to let people know that my friend's X was dropped to our office toilet bowl (squatting type).
I don't know if you realized this, but office's toilet will actually drop very far below one for squatting type. He had to call maintenance to help. After 2 hours, they managed to retrieve it and LULZ. it is still working fine.
that's it. lol.
