call their HQ and file complain. by right, they doesn't have the right to force customer to take the extended warranty or anything.

okay noted... actually this force me to take rm404 for extra 4 years warranty makes me holding off my purchase lol.. 1 thing is because that 4yrs does not cover battery.. it is just basic warranty. i think 4 yrs is too much, the extend 1 yr is good enuf for me. i prefer paying rm400 for 2yrs complete protection.

their protection plan not good as offered by Switch. if yes, the rm400 for 4 year protection plan is worth to pay. Just stick with the 2 year warranty which is 1 year from Apple Malaysia and another 1 year from Senq or Senheng. Don't give high hope on Senq's protection plan. Apple product hardly spoil if taking care of it and can last long for 5-6 years (my iPhone 4 still working).  biggrin.gif

i know the phone wont spoil but like my iphone 6 plus the screen discolored the top left corner is like maybe spoiled abit and i just found another dead pixel at bottom. nothing serious tho but it might be iphone 6 plus is the worst iphone apple ever made lol. bendgate then the ghost touch shit.

For me personally the USB C to Lightning doesn’t charge that much faster compared to the normal cable with a 12W iPad charger, so the normal one would be a cheaper solution. That said, Apple’s ori USB C to Lightning cable has gotten a price adjustment and is now the same as the normal lightning cable.
*
that's logical. The 12 ipad charger is not fast charging type, around 2.4a max. u need the usb c charger for macbook to utilize true usb-c PD fast charging.

Lithium-ion batteries do not have a charge memory. Deep-discharge cycles are irrelevant. Lithium-ion batteries do not behave like a NiCad.
*
Wrong. NiCad need full discharge to prolong the batt life due to memory effect. This aint about memory effect, this is about strain on the battery itself. There are too many articles about this.

I beg to differ. We need to correct our mindsets about battery.
All types of batteries are consumable that deteriorate over time whether they are being used or kept uncharged.
Time and number of times a battery has been charged are not the only factors in the chemical ageing process.
Usage pattern and environment will affect the performance of a battery over its lifespan

If you are solely talking about the batteries, depth of discharge or even memory effect may have a little bearing.
Nevertheless, we need to take into account the interventions of the iOS operating system.

iOS software charges the lithium-ion battery until 80% and then quickly switches to slow trickle charging.

Straight advice from Apple is to just charge the Apple lithium-ion battery whenever you want.
Apple lithium-ion batteries work in charge cycles.
You complete one charge cycle when you’ve used (discharged) an amount that equals 100 per cent of your battery’s capacity — but not necessarily all from one charge. For instance, you might use 75 per cent of your battery’s capacity one day, then recharge it fully overnight. If you use 25 per cent the next day, you will have discharged a total of 100 per cent, and the two days will add up to one charge cycle. It could take several days to complete a cycle.

Bro we are talking about the similar thing, there is no much argument here. We are talking about it is better to strain the battery less, the longer u charge the hotter the battery gets. the advise is not to wait until less than 20% only charge and die die must charge to 100% as what our father mother told us. That's why apple say u can charge whenever u want, and those articles throughout the internet backed by facts.

Anyone here still use Assistive Touch even with iPhone X? Last time, reason for using Assistive Touch is to prolong the lifetime of the Home button which would spoil over time. Now iPhone X does not have a home button, wonder if Assistive Touch is still very much in use or otherwise.
*
home button will spoil is a myth after iphone 5s. my iphone 6 plus i never us assistive touch becos it is blocking the screen, and nearly 5 yrs already my phone home button still works like a charm. same goes my ipad.

based on the current speculation, the cheapest will be around 800+, then the current X upgrade is 900+, Xs plus is 1k+. I cannot brain if Xs plus is being sold at 6k here. I rather go for import set.

The higher they set the price, the faster it will drop thanks to all these online platforms. The 256GB iPhone X retailed at 5899 during launch in November,  I bought it via Lazada for 4888 in February during their CNY sale. Ori MY set.

yeah. they say iphone price will not drop but when go online platform also become so cheap lol.. i missed out the one rm4257 64gb else i would be holding iphone x already.

Hahah me too, camera bump and notch are still there.

Regarding the series 4, tempted to get that 30% bigger screen and ECG apps.

But i have series 3 on my wrist and serves me well plus i already spent a lot on casing (waterproof / cmra)

I still want a round shape apple watch though.
*
pls take note ECG is only available in US, and it will not be available right after launch.
