Honestly speaking i was eyeing the XS Max for the bigger screen, i read a lot so will probably have a better experience on a bigger screen. It depends on the launch price tho lol

The XR looks good on paper, but after using the iphone x, i cannot tahan the lower pixel density lol (its...really obvious to me).

Yes, I can't believe ppl keep nag about new revolutionary features on S series. S is always subtle upgrade and more processing power and improvement of non s. IPhone x face Id not owes working also but xs improved on tat with upgraded true depth camera.

As if note 8 and note 9 has huge revolutionary diff lol. I am not die hard fan but I think ppl need to chill the fuk down.

I don't actually see much difference except for the screen size

Couldn't agree more. Gonna list my Note 9 for trade already

still not sure want to upgrade to xr/xs

I wouldn't say 256gb is overkill. It's a lot but definitely not overkill if you take a lot of 4k/high fps videos.

Japan and Korea not using sim card but they not using eSIM either, they are on CDMA and CDMA phone dont have sim. They only recently launch eSIM. It is different thing bro. Please don't confuse and do some homework

My bad, I didn't go find out about CDMA.
I am glad that iPhone launch eSIM hybrid.

Maybe next time we will have dual eSIM 👍

Ah well...was hoping that pricing for the Xs Max would start at USD999 as previously rumoured.
Pretty much set on buying the Xs Max before the announcement but now gotta think twice as the 256GB will likely be more than RM6k....maybe the regular Xs will suffice

will Maxis provide eSIM for the Iphone X Max?

did a search and they did provide eSIM before for Huawei watch ...

celcom do not have eSim it seems.

so it does show that local msia operators do have the eSim abilities?

disappointed dual sim only for China. and malaysia no esim support for iphone yet? so it is still one sim for us i think. sad

Wow .. any justification for the increase in price of the new iphones? Considering the existing range is already far more expensive than what it is suppose to cost.

While I do not oppose newer technologies, I do feel that this Esim is still a way by smartphone manufacturers and telcos to limit and control end users from Telco hopping. I dont see any issues with using a sim card which I can swap out for whatever telco I like, more so when I am roaming overseas. This feature will be an inconvinience rather than a feature that will benefit consumers instead. As mentioned, Telcos has been dieing to implement this feature long time ago.

Hehe, yeah, I meant for me personally since I don't take that much videos. My old 6 Plus 64GB stored 1500 photos or so with space to spare still

With Apple hevc and heif thingy u do able to save alot of space. Normally just do backup of older photos and delete those whatsapp junk photo and video which is what takes up most the space.

If not gaming much 64gb shud be suffice. My iPhone 6 plus also never fill up after using 3yrs

Esim would actually enhance telco swapping, to the point of even making it instantaneous. Think of it like how u would buy a movie ticket these days. It is going to be like swapping ur telco without ever going to a counter. This feature implementation is more on the hardware/OS side. So it is more power to phone manufacturers actually.

i think must see in real only can tell.

iPhone XR 1792x828-pixel resolution at 326 ppi

iPhone 8 Plus 1920x1080-pixel resolution at 401 ppi

326 ppi is still retina standard, it shouldn't be so bad.

True to that. But then again, we as consumers would be at the mercy of telcos / phone manufacturers to send us the sim data (we need to have wifi access to do this ) while we can plug in any sim card now on the spot and use the phone immediately. It would be much easier for phone manufacturers to lock consumers from using other telcos not of their choice, something like sim lock in the US. Again, I dont see any issue with having to pluging a sim card into a phone. No trouble actually.

My iPhone6 64gb. 8.4k photos 800 videos still got space .
I’ve been using iPhone for 8 years , so I think 256gb is a lot, unless u keep taking hd videos .

Yeah, my point exactly

64GB would suffice for most regular users, users into gaming and graphics and videography might want to opt for larger storage options.
