Officially 4,299 for 64GB, 4,999 for 256GB now. Problem is also how long the stocks will be available before eventually selling out smile.gif

Well that's what I do each year  tongue.gif , been changing iPhones every year since the 3GS....

I'll only probably stop buying when they cost like....I don't know never really thought about it...maybe 15k? lol! Fingers crossed we never reach that point, at least while I'm still alive.

If anyone needs my support in any "boycott buying iPhones" movement, you will definitely not be able to count on me bahaha

Luckily I haven't been sucked that deep into the Apple ecosystem.....yet, although I've been dragged slightly deeper as I will be getting my first Apple watch in the series 4 also this year.

TBH though the only reason I'm still with the iPhones is I detest Android. So really, there isn't any other choice for me.

I am pretty similar to you but I got started iPhone 2G in 2007, resale value of used iPhone is so good allowing me to change every year. But iPhone X is going to be the most 'losses' I have on iPhone, will find out this weekend.

I am also interested in AW4, but hopefully telco in mys support esim soon else defeat the purpose of dual sim.

i guess those who wait for XR, better dont get during pre-order... wait for hands on demo unit.. and see with your own eyes.. are you ok with the low res...
probably yes... because 8plus was full HD screen, surely consume more battery...
*
Right about that. I would say it would be definately be noticeable if you are used to better high reso displays.

Hi guys
Can recommend me which iPhone to buy

No matter hw many times I change to Android, I still prefer iPhone..I think because of app quality..also tired with android bugs..phone will slow/lag after a year plus..using pixel 2 now.. still fast but so many problem with the phone..screen blue tint prob is still ok for me..but then come another bug..latest is no notification sound which is really annoying..only advantage of android is their camera and fast charging

Last highest model iPhone I used ip7 plus.. reason selling.. too huge.I think those bezel really big make it uncomfortable but then when I change to iphone se I feel like toy phone so small, change to 6s ..feels ok but the battery really sucks after iOS 11 .other reason is the Touch ID didn’t work that well for me but I think my finger hard to register..even pixel 2 also sometime not work.. only Samsung phone works well with my finger for some weird reason
*
Ever since I use FaceID I start hate touchID on my iPad Pro, felt so slow when the touch ID take sometime to detect my finger and it has to be clean and not wet. Base on your claim sound like X or XS suit your size.

But I am excited on XS Max as X width is smaller than plus size making bad for watching video or navigation. 6.5" is massive for screen viewing but the down side is weight, not one hand friendly and of course price.

Yeah, the higher the price of the phone, the more it depreciates in value. Also same for cars laugh.gif

Lesson learnt

Being using for a week+ from beta 10 till iOS12 last week, much better than iOS 11.4 by far. Surprising local apps like banking and AOTG also ok, if your phone is pretty new go ahead. I have done 4 iOS device including an old iPad mini 2, felt better than iOS 11.

Bro.. U will be going back to stoneage with the 720p screen and single camera with the XR. laugh.gif

U sure u wanna do that?  rolleyes.gif  and pay good money for it too. With the larger screen of the XR, the low res of the screen would really b noticeable.
*
The resolution is like 6, 6s, 7 or 8 326ppi. If one can accept that resolution, bigger screen with that price will be value for money, not to mention FaceID is huge different user experience. Please don't go and look at ppl's OLED iPhone screen then XR user will be ok.

XR going to be a hit as the price is merely US$50 more than 8 plus, it is a huge upgrade from 8 and not upgrade from 8 plus since the single camera, 326ppi mimic 4.7" iPhone rather than 5.5" 401ppi resolution and dual camera since 7+

Guys, a bit confused about the dual SIM feature.
They said that china getting a special edition with dual SIM tray. So what about the rest of the world?

Just one sim tray slot and the 2nd line needs to use esim?

Dual sim only for China and Hongkong (That's what been potrayed so far). The rest will be getting eSIM type dual sim, where one SIM card is virtual another one would be physical. Hence, also function as dual sim phone.

So far i have only known Maxis have this features: (only for Huawei Wearable, not sure if it would be implemented for iDevices)

Will we be getting china version too? Don't see how that eSIM dual type can be widely used if only Maxis supports it.

I take if anyone were to buy from US for the sim free version unlocked version, you'll just get eSIM dual.

Yes, it’s important to note that while the size is almost the same as the Plus models, I also think that Apple’s intention is for the Xr to replace the regular models which has the same resolution and single camera setup.

Apple’s new iPhones use eSIM technology, but only ten countries in the world support it

Yup. That's why 4k in an iPhone is just like a snap of finger with their immense speed. It totally smokes all Android and leaves nothing in its wake... laugh.gif

Anyway, Apple still depended a lot on other app developers to make full use of the world's most advanced storage for a phone in an iPhone...
