Apple will say it’s the ten-ass but everyone else will call x-ass ha ha.

Xs = 10S, hahaha... Ok, that makes more sense now...

I thought Apple was done with the 'S' phones after 6S when they went from iPhone 7 to iPhone 8. I'm guessing hardware-wise, there won't be any "wow" factor laugh.gif

i hardly found any wow factor after steve job's era.

6 with bigger screen, not so wow
6s, 3d touch. hardly used except for the tracking.
7. jet black? IP rating? dual camera? not really that wow
8, wireless charging....
x. face unlock and notch.....
*
Well, to be fair, the X was a new design, so that's a step in the right direction. Lost count of how many phones with notches appeared after the X.

Probably because the technology has become quite stagnant these past years.

No game breaking advancements yet.

True, the Note 9 isn't a substantial upgrade over the Note 8, yet you don't see Samsung receiving as much flak as Apple does for these incremental upgrades, hahaha....

Xs Max will be bigger than 8Plus?

QUOTE(dikae @ Sep 12 2018, 01:47 PM)
yes definitely bigger, it is 6.5".
*
Well, it is in terms of screen size, but maybe not in terms of dimensions since the phone has no bezels vs the thick, thick bezels of the 8 Plus laugh.gif

Note 9 that bad huh?  confused.gif

On the contrary it’s not bad, actually. It’s just nothing different from the Note 8.

Or the S9+.

Or the S8+.

Or the S8.

All of which I’ve tried in the past 18 months or so, haha...

I know the new iPhones probably won’t bring much wow to the table either but well, that’s just me laugh.gif

I would go for Xr atm and see what they offer next year for the max
*
Same here.

According to the spec sheet the Xr’s battery will last 1.5 hours longer than the 8 Plus. That about clinches the deal for me smile.gif

QUOTE(rageLE @ Sep 13 2018, 04:15 AM)
better get X or Xr?
*
The X has been removed from Apple’s online store. So if you can score one at a serious bargain from a retailer I would think it’s still a good buy if you’re eyeing an Xs. I’d pick the Xr though. The dilemma now would be what color biggrin.gif

QUOTE(jackbanner @ Sep 13 2018, 05:20 AM)
When will they be sold at malaysia apple store?
*
Not so soon, we’re neither in the first or second wave of launch countries. As usual.

Nice to see some familiar names back here, haha. Welcome back, bro smile.gif

The Touch id officially dead.....how i hate pushing the physical button to unlock the phone everytime....the button not gonna feel the same after awhile....ocd thingy...

I think since the "Raise To Wake" feature and iOS 10 on iPhone 6S and later, you could just rest your thumb on the Home button and wa la! Unlocked without the need to press smile.gif But that said, yeah, farewell, Touch ID, long live Face ID!

No doubt. With that price , you will still se Xs Max top selling model again.

But this time the entry leve Xr really impressive with its features and price point. Not sure why they even bothered with Xs. IMHO Xr overshadowed it with latest chip, price point, and larger screen.
*
Agree with you on that. I think the Xr will outsell the Xs and Xs Max.

gonna sell off my iphone x for the new iphone

I sold my 8 Plus last month for 2900, which was a bit lucky now that a new one costs 3299 sweat.gif

The X on the other hand is interesting since it's been discontinued. Could still fetch a good price until the Xs becomes available smile.gif

Oh well, mediocre upgrades and a super expensive price tag. Just as expected. No breakthroughs unless someone wants to consider dual Sim as one, for Apple at least. tongue.gif  Let's see how much the RRP will be in Malaysia.
*
That's Apple for you in a nutshell these days. smile.gif

Just looking at the Singapore pricing will give you an idea on what our RRP will be like here. I think I'll be staying away from the Xs this round and will probably just go for the Xr.

For me it will be the X's Max, I would need the bigger screen. Will wait it out though to see if the prices would come down a bit after launch, maybe discounts later from local online resellers. Don't think I will buy from Singapore this round.
$2049 for the 256gb X's Max is like Rm6150.  whistling.gif

Not going to be an early adopter this round, No. I already insaf

Same here. Waiting to see the first listing from scalpers at the Garage Sale for RM10,000 laugh.gif

winkiedilwy, noticed you changed the topic to XS/XS Max discussion already, what about Xr? You'll open another thread for us? smile.gif

Apple does not simply hike their product. So I expect Xs 64 priced rm4857. And 5565 will be minimum price for 64gb Xs Max. Oh well at tat price point I might just get Xs too.. Not really keen on the huge screen. But yeah u get the wow factor since xs max is bigger and ppl may not notice u using xs unless u get the gold color. But I can say I love the new gold color.. Just looks tad classier

Hopefully the Ringgit doesn't dip back to the levels of 4.3x to the USD

IPhone x price 5149 was priced when myr is around 4.4 to 1 used. BTW anyone can estimate when msia gonna launch the phone? I believe mostly same as iPhone x launch but I forgot when is it already lol

The X was launched late November in Malaysia last year. 24th November, to be exact.

QUOTE(chrischiang @ Sep 13 2018, 09:14 AM)
i think is a good deal to grab iphone x now? no wow feature introduced for xs/xs max

Yeah, waiting to see what's the price gonna be from the retailers. Apple online has removed it from the official listing so no more official pricing laugh.gif

QUOTE(Pat89 @ Sep 13 2018, 09:16 AM)
I would rather choose xr as apple is offering the same functionality from Xs...especially in photography.

QUOTE(bigboyjet @ Sep 13 2018, 09:18 AM)
I'd go for XR too. Those OLED screens, they strain my eyes and give me headaches. And the name Liquid Retina is quite cool lol

Same here, eyeing the Xr too. Too many color choices though! What would you guys pick?
