Buying the Xs Max?

QUOTE(yclam5729 @ Sep 14 2018, 10:31 AM)
Main reason to me is screen size esp width, can't tahan X width so small that I can't see much on Waze.
*
Couldn't agree more. The screen of the X looks like cartoon next to my note 9. Have to get the 6.5 ' screen iPhone. rolleyes.gif

ya, I also just read some articles and watch youtube regarding xr, the resolution is way outdated for such a high price phones  rclxub.gif

still have time to think, xs vs x  laugh.gif

Right about that. Pay a bit more for the Xs. The display is not even up to the standards of a middle range android phone. But can our eyes really tell the difference? Some claim they could, if you ask me, all flagship phones looks similar in display.

maybe XS, the only different is just the screen size right? hardware and the rest still the same kan bro?

Yes. Screen size and display is different. Max has a larger capacity battery. Just don't go for the XR. 720i display with single camera for Rm3k++.

@CNN: This is how much money Apple makes on iPhones
https://cnn.it/2CUpE61

Msian prices are crazy more expensive vs US. Yet we see locals are willing to pay for it. Their reasons - proven eco system, smoothness , speed , app stability etc. Personally I will not pay more than rm4k for a phone even for such reasons. I had used all the IP till ip8+ ( except 5s) and yet remain unconvinced IP is more superior to other high end Androids. The only exception s it's better battery life but than isn't significantly better. This time I will go for the XR model and as usual will just be my secondary phone. My main attraction to it is solely it's 6.1 " display size
*
Battery life on the Oneplus phones and Google Pixels are already comparable to the IPhones.

The same can be said of most flagship phones actually. All they have to do now is fit a 5000mAh battery into each and everyone of them and I’m good laugh.gif

I wouldn't be surprised. But still have to wait for lazada 11/11 sale... which is months away. laugh.gif

Ya, true. My brother-in-law bought his X about a couple of months later as they didn't have any stock of unlocked ones earlier.

You could buy unlocked sets if you walk into Apple Stores in the US or you could buy through Apple Stores online. Locked sets are telco subsidized units bro.

If you are buying from Apple.com.sg, you can only have it shipped to Sg addresses. Or you can opt to collect at their physical store at Orchard.

nope. you, me and the rest of the world. and this year's event just seemed so ...lazy

XS? Really? X meaning 10 was the 10th year anniversary special so this year cannot be X anymore! such a lazy upgrade. and the big brother - XS Max . the hell kind of name is that.

removing the adapter dongle and making it a separate order..? come on Apple billion dollar company and still no fast charger included.

Speaking as fan boy since IP4 and owned each year the fan-ness is slowly reducing.

Problem is the alternative  - nothing much as i feel Android still a work in progress. Have used Samsung, Xioami, Nokia (experimenting you know..) still keep coming back to iOS. Should give a little more to keep the fan base loyal.

Smartphone technology has already reached a level where major improvements and breakthroughs are hard to come by. Manufacturers can also claim so much as better battery life, a faster processor, better screen and resolution, better camera etc where except battery life, you wont really notice a difference in your daily usage of the phone. While I don't blame them for the above, it is the increase in price which is the real issue. Some companies are really over their heads where they dare to price their products exorbitantly without fear of consumer backlash and reprisal. As consumers continue to buy their products, the more bold they become and the pricier their products get. The only thing you you as consumers can do, is to simply not buy. Lets see what is the outcome of the sales of this generation of the Iphone and if they could achieve their targeted sales volume.

Back then people were wondering about the 512GB for the Macbook as it was very pricy. And that’s a laptop where more storage will be needed but now it’s only a phone.

Anyway, the reason for the more expensive price is because the internal memory. They are blazing fast. Apple just don’t use cheap memory.

Can you define what it means by cheap memory and blazing fast memory as per your claim above? rolleyes.gif

they are 2 component in ANY phone that made them expensive, the storage type and screen.
I would say the combination of Super AMOLED + UFS 3.0 Storage..

QUOTE(westlife @ Sep 16 2018, 10:12 PM)
yes, exactly. many just simply compare on paper spec, but apple actually uses much better hardware. like the ssd on macbook pro, it is insanely faster than any ssd that can be found on any other windows laptop.
*
The IPhone Xs and Xs Max is not running on Ufs 3.0. So how better is Apple's hardware particularly on storage on the XS and Xs Max?


For your info,

Samsung is bringing Ufs 3.0 to the S10/ S10+

I will most probably wait it out a bit later for AP sets from Hong Kong as the sets fron HK, Macau and China sets support physical dual sim.

I have both the IPhone X and Oneplus 5t. But in the real world speedtest comparison, the Oneplus 5t still wins over the IPhone X.
