QUOTE(lingpin @ Oct 21 2018, 10:19 AM) I messaged Digi about eSIM and all they said is that eSIM details will come soon. Coming soon haha! But yeah who knows maybe Digi would pull it off earlier than Maxis, Celcom to gain market share. Tie the consumers with 2 years contract ;-).

QUOTE(Slyp @ Oct 23 2018, 01:24 AM) Just curious. Since the Xr doesn’t have 3D Touch, how to play Live Photo’s on the iPhone? Using haptic Touch with long press? Haptic touch is just the little feedback right? How does you use "haptic touch"? QUOTE(fabianz03 @ Oct 23 2018, 06:25 AM) Long press. In my area all variant of the XR are now being pushed back to 1-2 weeks. Demand picked up after a couple of days Hmm that is why T&L have not started selling XR probably.

QUOTE(attw @ Oct 23 2018, 08:07 AM) That's hardly surprising considering the 8 was not much different from the 7 or 6S or 6...  Compared to 7 probably, but against 6s or 6 the 8 is wayyyyy better

QUOTE(attw @ Oct 23 2018, 08:52 AM) Oh, I meant the design  The internals is always a step up  Yeah design wise the iPhone 6 was the longest lasting... 4 generations in total  wonder how long will the X design last. Might be sometime too I guess, how else can you "enhance" it... Apple has already filled up the screen space, previous design shit cause of the wasted space for the black border.

QUOTE(attw @ Oct 23 2018, 09:24 AM) Yeah, as far as phone designs are concerned, were probably at a plateau already. Bigger size or thinner bezel or thinner phone I guess. Or somehow they can reduce the notch on top, but don't do it so thick like the pixel 3 XL la haha.

QUOTE(Stitchie @ Oct 23 2018, 09:03 PM) Watched the reviews, camera is as good as the XS, but the screen is worse than 8plus, which worries me coz I really like my 8plus screen, gotta check out the demo unit myself Less density compared to 8+ but still equivalent to the 8. If you think 8 screen is bad... then I guess no choice you need go for XS Max  XR wide angle camera is the same as the XS.

QUOTE(benny888 @ Oct 24 2018, 09:40 AM) This guy has eagle eyes  , tried comparing between the iPhone 8 and my XS Max... seriously I don't think the OLED is much superior compared to the LCD though.

QUOTE(Stitchie @ Oct 24 2018, 10:18 AM) Need to top up at least 1k x.x Might just stick to my 8plus first Apparently not only that, but the viewing angle is also according to the verge review where they compare briefly to the 8plus  I come from 6+, wasn't particular about the viewing angle either on that LCD. But I guess, if one is so picky... go XS/XS Max (I went with XS Max, initially wanted XR but then got lured by the Qoo10 RM400 voucher last month) instead or just go for Android which can get you top tier Android specs for the same price I guess.

QUOTE(westlife @ Oct 25 2018, 08:40 AM) it is 828p not 720p. unless one is a display geek, else it should not matter as most reviewers ago. again for those they should have eyed on Xs or Xs Max and not XR in the first place. All boils down to how deep the pocket is, if specs no good, consider the XS/XS Max, if pocket not deep enough, get the previous gen X instead? If not, Android is a good alternative

QUOTE(westlife @ Oct 25 2018, 08:56 AM) exactly, no point to drill down further on the compromises and they are known to fit the justifications for the USD200 in price tag. At the end of the day, Apple does not release products that are totally not acceptable to majority even it is the cheapest in lineup. If there are not compromises at all, no brainers that everyone would have gone for XR without thoughts. yes, ultimately it is deepness of one' s pocket to decide one's choice and not Apple. It is more of a mismatch of expectations vs buying power instead. If XR comes with OLED and 3D Touch, either the XS/XS Max can't sell at all or the XR won't sell due to price gap between them is negligible

QUOTE(sramesh @ Oct 25 2018, 11:21 AM) All YouTube videos will upscale to 1080p for the 326 PPI panels. It does so today for the iPhone 6, 7 and 8. You mean 1080p content but super-sampling down to fit the screen's resolution?

QUOTE(westlife @ Oct 26 2018, 12:16 PM) good to hear that. i also feel the display is perfectly fine. apple's display is always top notch that i have no concern at all too. just there are still many crucifying the display all the time. haha. [attachmentid=10087370] still find that red and black are the best overall colours. however red is not my cup of tea. black is nice but may not be able to show off haha. will consider the colours again since i am still waiting for promo before i do an early recontract to replace my SE with XR. i like the blue colour but the side is really pale. hope in real it is ok. If its the same color as iPhone 8 product red, then that one very nice.
