my samsung note 8 was stolen last week.. felt like a gone for good because the phone had brought me so much problem (screen crack etc) which i never got those problem before when i use iphone 6 plus. Now dilemma should wait for new iphone or not.. currently use back old iphone 6 plus but the ghost touch issue and bad battery life is giving me headache. i dont have spare phone, apple service centre got exchange program which cost rm850-950 but need to wait 2-3weeks and have to send back the phone to apple.

i think this yr iphone maybe on par with iphone x? Because iphone x is like a anniversary version.. i saw the lazada promotion quite tempting.. altho now left silver color only but the front is same space grey and silver so no problem for me.

Surely it wont be on par with current X, anniversary or not. It will be better. So it depends can you wait till October? If yes i would advise you to wait.

ah i see.. tough call tho.. the touch screen and battery issue of my ip6+ is getting worse. my phone is now throttled very badly and alot of apps i dont even bother to open lol

Depend on you, I just bought due to needs, next year I will have other commitments. iPhone 11 will be minor upgrade camera, processor and memory. So with current price and current spec is enough for me to be happy 😄

i see.. hmm tough choice but rm4299 is really tempting lol.

Heard that HK sets are relatively safe for warranty claims here, US sets are a bit of a hit and miss.

There’s no official Apple Care offered for iPhones in Malaysia. There are only third party warranty extension plans like from machines, Switch, etc.

My take? Buy from SenQ/Senheng, free second year warranty for Plus One members smile.gif
*
no applecare for malaysia? damn.. just went to senq, they got raya promo, rm4357 only. But caveat is u either sign up their extend to 4yrs warranty for rm400 or u sign up celcom postpaid rm10 contract 6 months lowest lol. But the salesman din tell me about free second year eh.. if is this price tempted.

4years for 400?

yeah as per what the promoter told me. tempting but only few months to go and analyst said the new iphone will be cheaper becos lower manufacturing cost. i think it is possible because apple felt the heat that iphone x sales failed to meet target miserably.

4 years warranty for 400? Super cheap, that is if you keep the phone for that long laugh.gif
Don’t believe everything you read from the analysts, haha. Apple isn’t exactly unhappy about the iPhone X coz it sold well in some markets but more importantly it returned a huge profit for them. The same analysts also wrote that the X will be discontinued when the next gen iPhones are announced in September.
*
yup for 4 yrs lol.. i kept my iphone 6 plus for 5ys haha.. becos apple phone no need keep changing. 1 reason is becos no much new features biggrin.gif another reason is the OS update old phone also included, in the long run save cost la.. if android u need new phone to get latest upgrade else ur upgrade maybe come half year later..

i see, i tot analyst Ming-Chi Kuo actually quite accurate all this while, he never salah lol.. he is the one saying new iphone x pricing will be lower than usd1000 due to lower manufacturing cost. well iphone x is supposingly to be an anniversary limited edition.

what i see is ok on os itself... but if u put in app then the app will be lag... especially use it to play game LOL.
i think the lag may cause by the app itself need higher spec... not so much on the os itself.
*
I see, anyway i was pretty disappointed with note 8 after half a year using. Ridiculously when u search, u type g, f or wat else i forget edi, the homescreen will force close LOL! then it was fixed at Oreo. But Oreo brought in another flaw, which is the apps badge or at iphone is the number at the icon to let u know how many message. That thing also they can make until cacat... i normally mute my notification because i dont wan all the vibration coming in especially from group. If individual i dont mute because it is more important, others like game group can mute later can watch. But at note8 u mute then the notification badge wont show number oledi.. this is really a problem especially for ppl like me i dont owes look at my phone. when i open my phone i will see if got badge then i will go inside and read.. then ppl say can fix using other launcher.. i was like hello i am not looking for 3rd party fix when i am paying samsung for their phone and their experience.

Then i lost my note 8 somebody snatch it while broke my car window. I was like, oh well... gone for good lol. Was planning to buy this yr new iphone anyway, still prefer iphone and ios 12 is really game changer. Android oreo just fuking broke their own notification shit.

Don’t forget too that iOS 12 will make the iPhone 6 Plus relevant again, if the demo in the keynote is true smile.gif Imagine Samsung releasing an update to Android Oreo for a Galaxy S5 or a Note 4 now smile.gif

The iPhone X was their anniversary edition but was never a limited edition, hence that’s why the sales did not meet the analysts’ expectations laugh.gif
I used the Note 8 for only 3 weeks, then sold it due to the poor battery life biggrin.gif
*
yes indeed, the software support is tremendous for apple products, even a 5 yrs old phone is still relevant today lolz, this is what i cant deny.. korean still failed at software, as my uncle owes tell me, hardware is easy to make, everyone can make good hardware, but software need brilliant mind, and sadly speaking that is where asian kalah. Just like japanese, they very good at hardware even surpasses US in manufacturing process and technology, but software they are abit narrow minded. Same goes to Koreans because Koreans mimic Japanese lol..

still dilemma on iphone x haha.. shit man.. buy first think later? sweat.gif sweat.gif
