No 3D Touch and 3GB ram a bit let down.

I think the lack of 3D Touch will not affect the user experience, bcos not many ppl really use the 3D Touch (me included)
3GB RAM if android phone mayb a big let down, but IOS 3GB RAM still OK nod.gif

The only potential "let down" in my opinion will be the screen, but subject to real world viewing

Has it been confirmed the Xr will have less RAM than the Xs?

Some specifications of Apple devices never get formally announced. Most notably, the amount of RAM in each new iPhone isn’t revealed until the devices get benchmarked.

According to Geekbench 4, the iPhone XS and the XS Max both have 4 GB of RAM. The iPhone XR has 3 GB, the same as the iPhone X.

Ya, by this time next week there will be tear-down videos of the Xs and Xs Max so we'll know more by then. For the Xr we'll need to wait till next month biggrin.gif

Here's what the base Xr costs in selected countries, excluding taxes (or in some cases, tax refunds)

how widely are esim support in Singapore? hopefully, Msia follows HK dual sim capability. but in the long run, eSim is more convenient, no need kelam-kabut to find a pin to eject sim tray
*
Yeah, hoping these iPhones will kickstart the eSim just as iPhone 5 started the nano SIM trend.

Yeah, I believe that's the one. The videos and reviews all look OK, but like you said, we'll need to see it for ourselves first to see if it's OK smile.gif

It releases in the first and second wave countries in mid October, so I'm guessing November or December. Hopefully in time for Christmas! smile.gif

i think by Nov / Dec will be the 1st, 2nd tier launch 1st in Malaysia market, XR maybe drag to early next year (my guess) plus also

Yes, I have a sneaky suspicion that this model will be the volume driver for Apple this year.

confirmed not possible to mid or end nov. even first wave launch date is 26 october. it is expected that the XR should gain the most sales. likely that it will be super hot sale. since the price gap between XR and XS/XS+ is quite huge gap for people to go with either one of them.

for budget users, will likely to go for XR.
for those money is not concern, they will go for XS+.

dun think many ppl will go for XS.

Then it probably makes sense to get an iPhone X for now laugh.gif

not really worth it. apple does drop price for old models but it is not significant. given that XR has A12 SOC, it can certainly lasts longer.

if this is the real life comparison. the xr does not look so bad.

I think the size isn't the issue everyone has been harping on, but more on the screen resolution. We'll need to see it in real life to judge, I guess smile.gif

Wait... ppi as the screen goes bigger doesn't change right?

I mean if its 326 ppi, means 326 pixels per inch... bigger or smaller its still the same 326 pixel per inch. So the sharpness is the same...
*
Theoretically correct, but some people with eagle sharp eyes say they can spot the pixels laugh.gif

Same ppi = pixel still same size right?  laugh.gif

Same. Just got my "old man" glasses last year so I'm guessing I won't be able to see a difference unless it's really, really bad laugh.gif

QUOTE(unknown91 @ Sep 18 2018, 03:40 PM)
For USD749, iPhone Xr screen only supports up to 720p, and with that annoying notch.  doh.gif
How is it worth the price?
*
It's not. Stick with the Androids..oh wait, they seem to be growing notches too...

It will be nearly 10% higher even if you exclude its taxes in Malaysia.

Our price should be quite close to Singapore, I think. If it's more expensive then no point buying here laugh.gif

2018 iPhone 8 RM3649 = RM2899
2019 iphone XR = should be cheaper by +/- RM750  brows.gif  brows.gif

Later XR RIP like X,come out XIR only.

Then you'll get to own a limited edition phone smile.gif

Anyways, it seems likely that Apple will keep the Xr and phase out Touch ID with iPhone 7 and 8 probably the next to be discontinued.

QUOTE(dino89 @ Sep 19 2018, 07:40 PM)
Considering the Max, see my financial condition dulu whistling.gif
But definitely wont get it on launch day

Yup, unless you're signing for a telco plan, no point getting one at launch day. Thanks to the online platforms there could be discounts one or two months down the road.
