A good choice for users who are happy with the 4 year old design language. Safe.

The pixel 2 (not XL) was my original choice before I decided on the ipx. Google not being bothered to launch it here and my urge to leave android basically helped make the final decision.

This year the pixel 3 may be just the ipx clone to buy ha ha. Notch on display - check, no headphone - check, stereo speakers - check, wireless charging - check, water resistance - check

Wasn’t there an rm700 drop price offer for the ip7/7+ in 2017?

Personally, I would stop short of saying things wouldn’t be so bad if SJ was still around. Apple wasn’t perfect even when he was at the helm.

The world is a different place now and technology is quite at the cutting edge. Competitors have caught up and in many areas they lead the way. Software has become so complex and people have so many combinations of apps and user configurations that issues are bound to occur.

Anyway, to each his own.

Maybe there really are legit issues since the ipx is a new design shift for Apple phone hardware and software.

I can only speak for myself - my almost 4 month old ipx is running just fine. Best phone I’ve ever had, period.

Strange. I don’t allow Uber/Grab/GoogleMaps to use background refresh but my current location is shown in less than 1-2 seconds when I launch the app after a day or two.

My data is always on and so are wifi (lazy to turn off) and bluetooth (need it for my Garmin watch).

What are the high power usage apps when you check under settings/battery?

Courage was about the missing headphone jack, no?

Not included in 11.3 final release.

I charge anytime I like in the office (wireless) and at home (overnight charging, sometimes wireless, sometimes wired) and my ipx batt is still 100%.

Bought in Nov last year.

Alright then, I will continue doing what I do - charge wherever, whenever ha ha.

Not gonna baby my phone.

Wireless charging is for convenience. Don’t know don’t care if it shortens battery life or not.

I charge overnight every night since I got the phone. Same behaviour since my first android smartphone in 2010.

Android phones usually 2 years before I change. For this ipx am planning for 3 years.

It’s a phone (tool) not a child (family). Battery can be replaced when necessary ha ha.

Same problem here. I still have 3 pairs of EarPods sitting in the box (from 3 iphones) because they just don’t fit my ears.

Eventually invested in two expensive solutions - Powerbeats3 for music and Plantronics Voyager 5200 for calls.

Good bye..

Dunno what you mean, no issues with GPS for me.

Used my phone extensively for driving navigation last week without any problems.

Read the reddit post. Didn’t face these issues.

Maybe I drive slow.

Yes.

Anyway I just wipe my phones with a wet towel.

Nokia Here and maps.me apps support offline maps.

In fact even google maps can cache portions of the map offline.

Yes. Hate very much ha ha.
