Dun think overnight charge matters as iPhone has safety measure which the battery should not be charged once it is fully charged.

It is exactly becos Apple USB speed is only 2.0 plus need to convert on the fly thus using high-effiency may not be ideal especially for ppl like me who has the 256gb version. One opt for 256gb version obviously will go for the best quality photos and video taking. thus big file size is not something an option. please see the size of the video even for a 1 min 4K video. I dun see a reason why one should purposely take low quality video to avoid big size video file even it is known to have the problematic transfer issue. It defeats the purpose of owning a AAA model phone while one did not take advantage of the maximum capability of the phone especially one owns the highest capacity model.

Most importantly the transfer of huge video on iOS and Android devices are totally not Apple to apple comparions. Most android devices have the 5-mins rule that the device itself can only record 5 mins 4K videos which the file size is certainly limited comparing to iPhone which has no restriction on the recording size. So for iOS device, per video size can be as big as the maximum remaining storage size of the phone itself.

dun think u can fix a degraded battery. u can only hope that your battery continue to degrade further until the level that Apple will replace ur battery within the warranty period. There is a fixed number of percentage of battery wear needed before they replace it.

I think it is quite common that when something is compressed the quality will sure suffer. Despite that high effiency formats are claimed to conserve quality while keeping the size low. To be fair, I think most ppl cannot differentiate the difference in quality for JPEG and High effienciency formats.

In fact JPEG is common but it is not good quality format after all since it is also highly compressed. Just that it is very common format that we are using all the time.

In fact, it is kind of waste that iPhone does not save photos in raw format unless one uses third party app.

At this point, I would concern how easy I can transfer the photos and videos to my pc or other external storage for backup and sharing purpose.

My 15 days trip to Europe recently I had taken a total of 60++GB of photos + 4K videos. Out of 35GB++ are 4K videos. Now I have issues transferring them out in compatible format. Because most native players do not play the videos well. I managed to use a freeware to copy out the high efficiency formats files on my phone to my laptop no issue but there isn’t any native software that can convert the high-efficiency formats well. No free and good software to do so. On the fly conversion is the best option but my video files are huge and half way through the transfer I encountered timeout issues.

My iPhone is 256gb format, I bought the capacity because I love to take highest possible quality photos and videos and my iPhone X is about 100GB used now.

Moving forward, I will use only compatible format as of now due to the compatibility issue with most devices. Until high efficiency formats can easily be converted or usable on most systems I will only switch back for the ease of access.

Yes, kind of shame that Apple is still staying at USB 2.0. Especially for such a high end phone and high capacity phone.

With the maximum theoretical speed of 480Mbps for USB 2.0, 256gb of iPhone X will take about 1 hour 20 minutes to transfer all data to pc.

MacBook Pro 2016/17 has USB-c with thunderbolt 3.

Too troublesome to do so. I have this amount of photos + videos on my iPhone X now. And this number grows daily.



Given the size plus the pathetic upload and download bandwidth for bolehland broadband. It is totally not feasible to do so.

The free tier cloud storage is not even big enough to store all my files even I want to do so.
This is also the reason why I choose 256gb because I have so much data to manage.

who is looking forward to the new iPhone X plus version in coming September?

The iPhone X bezelless design is good and good for one handed usage for its size but somehow still find the screen size a bit too small.

yup, newer iPhone starting from iPhone 6 or 6 plus can certainly use more than 5 years easily because the processors of them are very capable.

my iPhone 6 Plus still feel very snappy since I used it since launched.

iphone 8 plus is also a great phone. haha. at least to me, the LCD display on iPhone 8 Plus is actually not too far off to the OLED on iPhone X.

actually i dun mind the screen is LCD, if it is the same design as iPhone X.
so the upcoming LCD bezelless iPhone will be interesting also.

Once u are into Apple ecosystem, u will not want to go out of it.

I have no complaint about the battery, in fact iPhone X battery is good quite good. For 8+, it should be even better.

ic. yup. Considered quite good already.

I am sure iPhone 6 or 6+ will be the models of phone that ppl have kept it for the longest duration before changing phone.

not at all, this is the strength of iOS, good memory management.

not for mine. i have used since the first day of its launch. no such issue.

i have no worries at all.

no problem for me. using moshi case.

yes, i have been using it since day 1. it is soft feeling but very solid for drop protection. I had dropped a few times my iphone x. no issues.

mine is space gray, so no stainless steel to clean. it is coated so easier to maintain.

i always think that silver version the stainless steel part should be very susceptible to scratches.

My case is perfectly fine for me. It is softer feeling case. Works very well for me. My iPhone X I still in pristine condition.

heart pain for dents.
