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

I have a similar problem. At the moment, it’s Best to go for iPhone 8 or X due to the heavy price reduction. Else wait for the XR or the Xs which is due to arrive in mid Oct.

the price difference between iphone 8 and iphone XR is not significant. it is more worth it to go for XR due to the better hardware and bigger screen.

The iPhone 8 RRP is 2899 and Plus version 3299. IMHO The XR will be priced much higher...at least 4K++.

yea.. i shared the same link few posts back too... very impressive...
during apple presentation, they did not show something like this.. that why ppl will think ahh not much upgrade...

Its like LED/LCD TVs...we never know the difference unless we compare them side by side. I bet most 8 Plus and X owners still agree that their phones take awesome photos.

Anyway, their photos turn out slightly warmer..I'm a bit disliked .. Luckily the Oled screen not as warm, but to compare for IPS display for iPhone XS max still warmer to me.

The iPhone OLED displays have a more pronounced True Tone effect compared to the regular IPS LCD dislays. As long as not too yellowish for our liking. Always feel the Samsung Super AMOLED displays have got the colour tone just right.

Take it with a pinch of salt. Might be an isolated issue. How’s cell reception holding up for you guys as compared to the previous X?

Web browsing battery longevity is better on the X. WTH.

Try resetting the phone network settings. It has worked for some users.

New iPhones still limited to 1080p due to VP9 codec but HDR playback is now supported.

iPhones don’t support a codec which allows 1440p. Max 1080p.

It's a software bug, so even if you have it, the fix is imminent.

Solved in iOS 12.1. If you need a quick fix, download the public beta profile and install it.
