Tagged you here instead smile.gif

I think their intention is so, to fill the void of an entry level iPhone previously helmed by the 5C and SE. Unfortunately, Apple doesn't know how to do entry level pricing sweat.gif

i think it should look ok because it is still using aluminium and glass back. the look should be as good as the current iphone 8 plus.

the price difference makes no sense for one to go for 64gb version. haha. since it is small gap as compared to 128gb.

yes. agreed that 128GB is a nice spot. my 256gb iphone x still have 146gb free space despite that I have took many 4k videos and high quality photos during my recent euro trip.

cannot imagine the 512gb version. tongue.gif

my only concern for big size iphone is the transfer speed. the current lighting port seems to be usb 2.0 at least for my iphone x. not sure if they have upgrade to 3.0 at least like ipad pro.

if not, i cannot imagine how can one transfer data of 512gb iphone to computer.

in fact, new macbook pro 2018 still come with 128gb version while iphone itself already 512gb. haha. cannot even backup a iphone nowadays for new macbook pro.

Don't bother about the color. Everyone will use case after all. You'll only see your original iPhone colour once in a few weeks/month to clean the iPhone.

lol with this price it cant be using the oled, its still a good option for those ppl who still prefer an enhanced LCD display, oled display may be vivid but your eyes will get fatigue n dry kinda quick, at least for me.

Same specs as the higher end models (minus the OLED panel which i think is not a deal breaker) and cheaper. The single camera capabilities also the same as the dual cameras

Yes, it is a correct move for them. 3D Touch have or dun have it does not affect user experience.

At least Apple has given the XR all the essential hardware like Xs. It is a not bad choice for Budget users.

Yes, it is a correct move for them. 3D Touch have or dun have it does not affect user experience.

At least Apple has given the XR all the essential hardware like Xs. It is a not bad choice for Budget users.

XR comes with Haptic Touch...what it is exactly? Is it like the iPhone 7/8's Touch ID?

Different eco system... only reason I maintain with Apple is the ecosystem. If not... early early cabut to Android already, cheaper and better spec phones.

dun think so. OLED they have no choice then must use samseng only.

anyway the display should still be good, after all it is retina display in terms of dpi. cannot be too bad.

no info yet.

should have 3GB minimum i guess. if they want to make the difference bigger for Xs or Xs max, they may do it.

since the display has even lesser pixels than iphone 8 plus. so 3GB should be enough.

anyway iOS is well optimised OS, no need so much ram also can work like charm.

yes, the CP value is high actually.

importantly, apple did not compromise much on this phone,they still give pretty much all the important hardware of Xs to it.

price drops for older models yes. but it is not actually worthwhile to buy iphone 7 or 8 now comparing to XR. the price difference vs the difference in hardware - A12 etc. it is good enough to justify for buying XR instead.

no to mention XR has exact iphone X look and iphone 8 plus back.

plan to get XR, for my iphone 6 which has been serve me well for 4 years.
If im using android at 2014, i can guarantee that it won't last till 3rd or 4th year, due to the nature android official update is based on certain phone models, where iOS releases is compatible for all devices in day 1. If I'm using android devices, there's no guarantee that my devices has the official update to the last version, i do have an android as my 2nd phone, it's really disappointing that the android 6 is the final, no official for 7, and it doesn't allow to flash, im sure u know what's the device is already.

the most important that I will miss is for the touchID, i do not like using faceID due to my nature, exposing your face to Apple? no thanks. But it's apple direction, no choice. Unless get 7 or 8.

regarding the LCD it's not a high priority for me, because our human eye has the max of distinguish up too 300 pixels, more than that is nothing, but need to be consider the factor of the screen size as well, optimum will be 4 inch, 300 pixels, >4 inch, high pixels required. but as for XR, due to larger screen size but doens't increase the reso/pixel, this could be a draw back.

the rest i couldn't say anymore, as the matter of fact im not a apple fanboy, we all know that apple is GREAT at marketing purposes, but the greatest thing about it is the iOS itself, that's the reason why I go for it.

let's wait for the XR for the look & feel then i'll decide.

edit: I did pay premium (sign from telco) for my iP6 and it's brought me the 4 years of value. so what i see is what i get but interms of value, i have no complaints

don be delusional. a Android 720p phone selling at 3k who would want to buy it nowadays? Bad is bad, retina is outdated, it should be retina HD nowadays. this phone size is not 5inch like iphone 6, it is a whooping 6.1inch. so definitely u gonna see some pixels, believe me. And u cant even watch 1080p youtube on this phone lol.

I am not an android fans, but i cant stomach the fact that ppl lowering their standard to accept a non 1080p phone coming from Apple. It looks pity and shame. I myself is going for Xs or Xs Max, i believe that should be the standard. This Xr feels half baked. But then, if u really want a secondary phone from Apple, oh well this is a good phone to go. If not better go for X at bargain price.

LOL bro, ppl say human eyes can only detect 60fps and anything above is bullshit. Try watch a 120hz 120fps, and see u feel the diff or not. Dont be delusional, please. When u put a higher ppi phone beside a lower ppi phone, definitely u can see the diff. okay u are from iphone 6 so u wont feel much diff because iphone 6 is same ppi.

Once u already pampered ur eyes with better stuff, u will definitely see the diff.

The pixel per inch(ppi) is same, means the XR's 326ppi pixel size is same with ip6/7/8's 326ppi no matter screen size or resolution different. Some said pentile 1080p amoled more or less looks like this ppi.

ps I'm not saying selling 720p at rm3k is right.

If you are not an avid photographer:

1.You should compare the performance between a12 and kirin 970 first prior making your purchase.
2.IOS support lasts 5-6 years whereas Android manufacturer support ceases after 3 years.

CNN: This is how much money Apple makes on iPhones
https://cnn.it/2CUpE61

Msian prices are crazy more expensive vs US. Yet we see locals are willing to pay for it. Their reasons - proven eco system, smoothness , speed , app stability etc. Personally I will not pay more than rm4k for a phone even for such reasons. I had used all the IP till ip8+ ( except 5s) and yet remain unconvinced IP is more superior to other high end Androids. The only exception s it's better battery life but than isn't significantly better. This time I will go for the XR model and as usual will just be my secondary phone. My main attraction to it is solely it's 6.1 " display size

he's somewhat right pertaining the 'upgrade' issue. eventhough ip5s is scheduled for an update don't put your hopes too high. During keynote they are only focussing on ip6 instead of 5s. means the upgrade can be good or can be bad.

similiar to ipad mini on ios 9
ip4 on ios 7
ip3gs on ios 4


this is what i can recall though

No significant difference between 720p n 1080p for me probably because I am old guy (62). I don't see pixel on 720p either on my previous 720p phones too

I'm aiming for that yellow iphone Xr.

Same processor as Xs? Awesome!

Slightly longer battery life than iphone 8+? Yes please.

Don't care about OLED screen, I'm happy as long as it has wide colour gamut.

Lower pixel count than Xs doesn't concern me either since it has the same 326 ppi as my iphone 7. As long as it's not blurer than my iphone 7, i'm good.

Only single rear camera? My iphone 7 is the same. Good enough for me.

That yellow iphone though....i need that yellow goodness in my life...

he's somewhat right pertaining the 'upgrade' issue. eventhough ip5s is scheduled for an update don't put your hopes too high. During keynote they are only focussing on ip6 instead of 5s. means the upgrade can be good or can be bad.

similiar to ipad mini on ios 9
ip4 on ios 7
ip3gs on ios 4
this is what i can recall though

I can also attest to that.. my mum's 5S and kid's iPad Mini 2 is struggling somewhat on iOS 11, haha...

Now I'm curious to see if my mum's 5S will survive iOS 12 laugh.gif

yellow coloured phone is very hard to come by. Especially a yellow smartphone.

I was disappointed with iphone 5c pastel yellow. Now iphone xr yellow is my kind of shade of yellow brows.gif

The coral and yellow variants do not look that nice. somehow they looks like the Colours of highlighters. And the side aluminium color does not seem to fully match the Color of the back.

Lol just a fancy name for LCD. Although iPhone's LCD is one of the best in the market.

I think the display cannot be that bad. if Apple dares to make the claim, it must be not bad indeed.
So far from the review of XR from those YouTubers who had attended the event and who had seen both XR and Xs display both in the real, and yet they have not immediately pointed out the display of XR is poorer comparing to the OLED one. It should be ok. Apple's LCD to date are all ok since they first introduce Retina display.

My iPad mini 2 is running iOS 10 and it is still very smooth for normal usage.

Will not upgrade to newer iOS even iOS 12 claims to improve performance for old devices.

i have ios 12 final beta installed on the ipad Air and it does run smoother, no more laggy animation but only slight improvement in opening n running apps

considering air and mini 2 share almost the identical spec u should just go ahead and install, no point sticking to ios 11

Don't care about OLED screen, I'm happy as long as it has wide colour gamut.

Lower pixel count than Xs doesn't concern me either since it has the same 326 ppi as my iphone 7. As long as it's not blurer than my iphone 7, i'm good.

Only single rear camera? My iphone 7 is the same. Good enough for me.

I share your view too. The Product Red looked less attractive on the iPhone 8 as compared to the iPhone 7 previously, maybe due to the difference in finishes on glass and aluminum. Remains to be seen what it looks like on the Xr but I’m guessing more like the 8. I’m eyeing either Blue or White smile.gif

CNN: This is how much money Apple makes on iPhones
https://cnn.it/2CUpE61

Msian prices are crazy more expensive vs US. Yet we see locals are willing to pay for it. Their reasons - proven eco system, smoothness , speed , app stability etc. Personally I will not pay more than rm4k for a phone even for such reasons. I had used all the IP till ip8+ ( except 5s) and yet remain unconvinced IP is more superior to other high end Androids. The only exception s it's better battery life but than isn't significantly better. This time I will go for the XR model and as usual will just be my secondary phone. My main attraction to it is solely it's 6.1 " display size
*
same here, still not convinced to pay above 4k for any phone. i rather go for ipad pro instead, massive hardware, feel more worthy for my money paid. i can get anything i need as in the iphone, plus can use apple pencil. the ipad camera is very good also now, heck i even take picture and video with it.. considering the xr, but lets see.. maybe not

Could be slightly blurrer than the iPhone 7 bcos although same pixel count, the screen on the Xr bigger hmm.gif

Everything else for the iPhone XR is great, just the screen. Have to see the screen in person only can justify whether OK or not

The single lens camera still OK as this year it can do the same as the dual camera setup.

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.

So i guess for Malaysia market only got 1 physical sim slot with 1 built-in esim. Afaik only Maxis supported esim so far. Hopefully Apple inclusion of it will kickstart mainstream adoption. In this day and age there shouldn't be the need to visit brick and mortar service centers to get physical sim replacement when theres better option like the esim.

I heard that e-sim needs nano sim card before activate to your phone.
Otherwise no network allow you to set from phone to esim and remain on phone.

many youtubers had seen the actual iphone XR on the actual day of the event, however, none of them had complained about the screen. if the lower res is easily noticed, they should have noticed immediately. with this, i think it should be safe to say that the screen will be ok.

No one knows...even in tier 1 and 2 countries is reported to be at least a month later after 21-28 sep ( release of Xs). Guess we could expect it probably around mid to end Nov here ?

No one knows...even in tier 1 and 2 countries is reported to be at least a month later after  21-28 sep ( release of Xs). Guess we could expect it probably around mid to end Nov here ?

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.

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

If only the XR was the same size as the iPhone 7, 8. Then I wouldn’t hesitate to get it. Because then it would be smallest of the three, most single hand friendly and pocket friendly.

Now XR is like in the middle physically, best for battery, but a screen pixel density from 2 years back. On an iPhone 7 the same ppi is fine because it’s smaller in screen size. But the bigger you go the more visible it is.

Sigh. I really want to get the XR. But I want the smallest physical dimensions.

I think people are over-react to the screen resolution and ppi.

If you compare the size of all ranges ipad plus the resolution and ppi they have, u will know that it is not a concern at all.

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...

XR is nice and resonable in USD, but I doubt it will be good in MYR. Last year Apple made the iPhone 8 USD699-RM3649 while we had got iPhone 7 at USD649-RM3199 on 2016. How about 2018?

it is more than 720p la.

1792x828 (iPhone XR) vs 1280 x 720 (720p, HD)

it is lower than 1920x1080 (full HD) though. but looking at the number it is still acceptable.

Love to get a hands on to see how it likes...
I remember got one jailbreak tweak before which uses the sensitivity of the surface area u pressed, to simulate peek n pop
What the haptic touch claims is hold longer, means just the length of time u press
I wonder how it can differentiate difference of peek n pop

is it? i tot iphone 4 is 640 pixels by 960 pixels at a PPI of 326 pixels per inch.

iphone XR is having higher resolution than iphone 8, so by rite one should see more things on iphone xr than iphone 8 but slightly lesser than iphone 8 plus.

Plenty of RAM in the 2018 iPhone models
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.

Yeah, I agree with the point of view, buying XR model is like supporting Apple business strategy.

Either go BIG for Xs/Xs Max or go home with last year 8 Plus/X. True Apple fans shouldn't blindly defend Apple decision.

Yeah, I agree with the point of view, buying XR model is like supporting Apple business strategy.

Either go BIG for Xs/Xs Max or go home with last year 8 Plus/X. True Apple fans shouldn't blindly defend Apple decision.

I don't defend their decision, neither do I support this strategy. I'm just in it for the Product Red color and to test the battery life, haha...

It is more than 720p in terms of pixels. It is not too far off to 1080p as what ppl may think.

On small display, seriously one cannot really tells the difference.

Many YouTubers discouraging to buy the XR simply because they felt even at us700+ Apple can easily give a 1080p display. Most felt Apple think buyers will not notice the poorer display or as some said to dupe "stupid" buyers
Even so analyst forecast the XR will be the best seller

I think putting in a 720p display on the XR also helps to improve the battery life, not that I agree with it... That's why Apple claims XR has 1.5hr more battery life than the I8+

Yeah, but primarily Apple did it so they can use a cheaper component and make more $ from a “cheaper” product.

Still, I’m curious to see how long the battery will go on the Xr...

i think this is the price one needs to pay for a premium products. obviously only apple can do it also.

however, ultimately no matter how much apple is selling for its products, buyers still have the choice to whether to pay for the brand.
the buy and sell is always a mutual game too. there are many cheap other brand products one can choose also.

even within apple itself, if one really has high requirements on the phone, can go for Xs or Xs max instead.
eventually, actually it is one's pocket deepness decides what one can get, no matter it is apple or samseng or any other brands.

Correct. In the end it's what you want and how much you're willing to pay smile.gif

Oh and speaking of Samsung, they just announced their Tab S4 for RM3,099 in Malaysia.

seriously doesn't matter its 720p or 1080p, as long as u can't see the different.

just like now android go to 6gb and 8gb where iphone still 4gb... so why blame if 4gb ram but do better performance? that's my personal thought.

Technically and as a stand alone observation, he is not wrong. However, match the XR against the price of it and given this present day and age of technology(and I believe that's what some if not all those other YouTubers are saying), same is not an iDevice that anyone should buy. That said, the all important factor is...it's your money and therefore your decision to make.

apple fans will be willing to pay the premium for high end products. in fact, i dun think apple fans also do not want iphone to become a comodity that evert has it on hands.

there are always different ranges of products for different interest groups.

same like LV, hermes etc.

XR is a great bargain phone although poor LCD display and single lens camera without vibrating sensor. Below rm3500, is still a steal

While a LCD display for a phone of that price is indeed disappointing, I wouldn't go as far as calling it poor till I've seen it - like they said, Apple makes one of the best LCD displays in it's class. Lets see it in real life before passing judgement!

I guess not everyone has a higher expectation for XR do like XS series. This is the price to concern for everything as what you pay.
As usual, women do not mind that advance feature, as long it is a new model new phone with new colours so and so.

Yup, the target audiences are clear for both series.
Those have high requirements can just pay for the premium to go for xs.

Yea bro, but with iPhone X used one cost the same, with stainless steel case, dual lens and OLED screen is tempting too... A12 is only 15% faster than A11 though

Personal preference would be the A12 processor, plus the dual lens enabled the portrait feature but the XR able to do the same. And you get to save some bucks, maybe can replace it faster haha.

I personally wanted the XR... then evil Qoo10 came up with the RM400 voucher so I pulled the trigger for XS Max 256GB bangwall.gif

Can't compare that way bro, coz we typically look at iPads further away then we do our phones. Still, I don't think 326ppi is bad - especially not on an iPhone LCD!

Placebo perhaps? Cause pixel density is the same, which generally means same sharpness. Of course the 8+ with 400~ppi should look sharper instead compared to the 326 ppi.

Ya, not to mention the X also has an OLED screen vs the Xr's LCD.. I'd still go with the Xr for one main reason though - battery life!

Price... the Xr is more economical right? devil.gif but I would still got for 2018 model... I was thinking either Xr or XS Max for 2018. But yeah if you really want the OLED I guess, iPhone X it is.

exactly, that's why when compare proportionally, 9-inch 264 ppi ok, 6.1-inch 326ppi will be ok too.

yes, like i mentioned before, so many people who attend the recent apple events including many youtubers and none of them complains about the screen at the event. i dun think it will be bad.

i almost bought the apple watch 4 at launch, but end up i had a second thought as i dun really wear watch. tongue.gif if i buy it, it will merely be completing the apple family products that i own.
maybe will save the $$ to buy XR as my second phone instead.

I think if you've used the 5S for so long, you definitely deserve an upgrade! Bear in mind the 5S is a 5-year-old phone.

Apple says the Xr will last 1.5 hours more than the 8 Plus, which means it should be the phone with the best battery life in this year's line-up. The Xs Max has a bigger physical battery capacity but it's a bigger screen and has higher resolution hence it'll need more juice. Besides, if the preorder price as reported by Soya Cincau is true then the base model will already cost upwards of RM5k, which is a lot. The XR at 3k++ is a good deal, but the current discontinued X is also still a good deal at 3k++ now. So if you need the high resolution and OLED display, hunt around for some good deals on the X, I saw some listings for about 3800 for a new one in the Garage Sale. If you're not willing to spend more than 3k then the iPhone 8 is also a good buy. Although the design is four years old and it uses the old Touch ID instead of Face ID, it's still a reliable phone and can still perform more than adequately.

I've been using iPhones since iPhones 4, and I change every year, with my pre-loved phones being handed over to my wife eventually. She's currently using the iPhone X (and may I add happily) which was my last iPhone, so technically I'm "downgrading" to the Xr laugh.gif

Same condition here, wife's still using 5s (my pre-loved) since I'm still using 6 Plus. She didn't want the 6 Plus cause its "bulky"... and XS she worried will drop and break. So eventually will grab a XR for her when its available here, best bang for buck.

Yep. Although the specs offered by android competitors are much tempting, iphone is still really a good software/hardware experience. I dont think any android phone would have lasted me near 5 years other than iphones (im still using a 5s)

Haha, my wife likes big screens so she was hesitant about exchanging her 8 Plus for my X earlier, but after a few weeks I asked her if she'd like to change back, she said No! Hahaha..

my friend that bought the S4 on the same year changed to the SE 2 years ago and never had any problem with it, haha

i remember everyone was crapping me out for buying an iphone cos it was expensive and considered 'inferior' but my phone survived throughout the multiple times they changed their phone that i actually saved a lot compared to them.. although i might consider using an android phone in the future (probably only the pixel series) but now im still very used to iOS and never had much problems with it

iphone is the best, each model can use more than 5 years with no problem.

i had used samseng nude 3 before, i will never go to non-ios device again.

im just thinking if actually the 326ppi on the XR would just feel like my current 5s or it will look bad since it has a bigger screen. I previously wanted to get the 8 plus before the announcement of the 2018 iphones cos i liked the screen and battery, im just not sure if 326ppi on the bigger screen would look bad or not

Yeah, I tried passing my old 6 Plus to my my mum back then and she said it was too big and bulky for her to carry around so she wanted something more compact. She's happy with her 5S now. And she's 75 this year smile.gif

Yeah, there's been a lot of concern about the resolution on the Xr. Apple does make good LCDs so lets wait to see the actual screen before we pass our judgement!

Good call. The 8 Plus 64GB was going for RM3099 on Lazada back last Friday during their 27/9 sale. A very good buy!

Not so certain the XR will be available for us locally by 11.11, since it only launches in first wave countries at the end of October..

Of course, if you're going down that Qoo10 route... laugh.gif

I've never bought from this shop but I've bought plenty of other phones online, the most expensive being my 256GB iPhone X from Lazada. When buying online, check the online platform's buyer protection policy and the seller's ratings and feedback to be sure.

iphone XR launched price is actually between launched price of iphone 8 and 8 plus last time.
it is more worth it to get XR still even 8 and 8 plus have discounts now.

bezeless design, A12 SOC, significant better graphic, better camera and other extra features will make it more worthy to get.

i agree. i nearly bought the 5c but opt for the 5s instead and never felt so good about it! having the A7 at the time when i bought it was total overkill and nothing could actually make use of the processing power but now after 4 year plus i get to see whats the difference... getting the newer processor is always better.

Yeah, considering last year's A11 Bionic is still running circles around most Android phones out there, he latest chip from Apple will last you 4-5 years minimum.

I have watched quite a few videos on the XR and tried getting some idea of what I should get but the comments section has been really toxic compared to previous years and it felt like kids at the primary school whipping out their batang to compare who has the longest one (specs) and it just feels way too annoying at this point. In the end most people that stuck onto iOS long enough won’t switch platform anyway.

Haha, yeah, the target of the Xr is to give a more wallet friendly option for those on iPhone 6s or earlier (and there are many around the world). It’s never meant to compete against the high end Androids and even though Androids at those price points will have very high specs. Like you mention, those invested in the iOS platform won’t switch anyway.

yes, like i mentioned before, so many people who attend the recent apple events including many youtubers and none of them complains about the screen at the event. i dun think it will be bad.

i almost bought the apple watch 4 at launch, but end up i had a second thought as i dun really wear watch.  tongue.gif  if i buy it, it will merely be completing the apple family products that i own.
maybe will save the $$ to buy XR as my second phone instead.

no way. During the Apple event, first wave countries are shown also. If bolehland is in the first wave, Apple bolehland website will certainly show it.

only way and easiest way is to get it from lion city.

confirmed not in. this is confirmed. tongue.gif

I think at least Dec 2018 maybe bolehland will have it.

I have a feel that iphone XR will somehow have high demand.
Somehow there are many iPhone 6 or 6 plus people still are yet to upgrade iPhone. And there is only one choice for this price range of new iPhones. Last year still have iphone 8 and 8 plus to choose, now there is only one choice. And there are so many Colours to choose from, sure certain Colours will be much more popular and harder to get,

I think the XR will stay around for at least 3 years.... the pricing after 2-3 years for the XR would be fantastic for anyone that doesnt mind old tech but still wants a decent iOS experience

yup for sure. tongue.gif

if it is selling good than XS and XS Max, i am sure apple will keep it.

Hehe, don't believe everything you read in Wiki laugh.gif

It definitely won't be launched here till November/December - or might even drag to 2019 if responses from the first and second wave countries are overwhelming.

I think at least Dec 2018 maybe bolehland will have it.

I have a feel that iphone XR will somehow have high demand.
Somehow there are many iPhone 6 or 6 plus people still are yet to upgrade iPhone. And there is only one choice for this price range of new iPhones. Last year still have iphone 8 and 8 plus to choose, now there is only one choice. And there are so many Colours to choose from, sure certain Colours will be much more popular and harder to get,

Xs confirmed will not be called Xs the same name again sure will be new name. Normally for physical new design, Apple will use the same for as least 2 years. But I dun think there will be significant changes but confirmed will have physical change so the name sure will be different.

XR there is high chance that next year will be just a speed bump or camera upgrade and certainly not a physical design change to maintain the price.

Think Apple just backed themselves in a corner as far as naming their phones are concerned, hehe. The Xr should really have been the 9. So next year we get iPhones XI?

What about the warranty, does Apple offers international warranty on XR? Meaning can we claim warranty locally while the phone set is bought from other countries?

Then goes by 2018, 2019, 2020 model... just like the MBP would be cool.

Edit: I don't quite like the term "Max" still prefer the old "Plus" haha. Max sounds like... Mi Max... Galaxy Max...

Just getting a little impatient for the XR- I really want a new phone actually. I have a family member working in SG but he won't be able to claim the tax which is 7% so I'm not sure if I should ask him to help me buy

Warranty is a little hit and miss, depending on the discretion of the service centre. Some have claimed there are no issues, but others have experienced one or two bumps as well.

i think if you go to apple store (apple's own flagship retail store) should be ok. Just dun go to their authorised dealers.

like that it is better for you to buy from changi airport yourself since you can claim the free tax. 7% is not little.

for those working in SG, buying using telco contract is certainly a better bet.
for a public pricing monthly plan of S$95.90, 64GB iphone xs will S$638. The total cost of ownership price for 2-year contract of S$2,939.60

iphone xs - S$1649 retail price.
with the same plan above, if one is having corporate discount, it is only S$57.54 (after 40% discount)
so the total cost of ownership price for 2-year contract = S$638 + S$57.54 x 24 = S$2018.96.
then if port-over from another telco with this pricing plan can get S$200 off.
total cost of ownership price for 2-year contract will be S$2018.96 - S$200 = S$1818.96.

difference in price (signing 2-year contract with telco vs no-contract retail price iphone xs 64GB) = S$1818.96 - S$1649 = S$169.96.

S$169.96 /24 = S$7.08 monthly for 6GB data + 1 GB (promotion - free 1 GB for 24 month) + unlimited calls and SMSes.

for XR, it will be even cheaper. haha.

Yes, you should only buy in Singapore if you happen to be there or you're passing through in transit, otherwise it's not worth the hassle and cost to get there just to buy a phone!

I don't think there's a 2-day stay rule though.. as long as you are flying out via Changi should be OK.

currently using the 8plus, tempted to upgrade to XR, but at the same time the X is discounted...the new gesture based ui is quite tempting

XR - so far based on the online vids and XS reviews (that share specs with the XR)
- Much improved camera (main camera)
- A12 being more power efficient + better battery
- 128 GB is the sweet spot - current 64GB on my 8+ is pushing it
- still cheaper than the X
- bigger albeit not as good screen

X
- more premium feeling with stainless steel
- Apple's calibration of the OLED is fantastic
- pocket friendly size
- dual camera for zoom/better protrait

Or i should just stick with my 8plus since ios12 made it soooo smooth

Ah, Apple calibrated Samsung manufactured OLED
No doubt Samsung has the technology and scale to manufacture the best OLED, but Apple's attention to detail for the display is just preferable compared to Samsung's own Galaxy line.

The 8 Plus is still a great phone but I sold it off because somewhere between using the X for a couple of months and trying those new Android phones, the super thick 2014 bezels finally got to me laugh.gif So if you can get a good price for your 8 Plus still before the Xs and Xr launches locally, why not? smile.gif

yes, 8 plus design is already looking old now. not to mention 3 to 4 years later.

but iphone xr design will continue to look new for the next 3 to 4 years.

You are in the same position as me awhile back.

Just that I planned to upgrade to an Xs instead of the Xr like you. But after spending a day with the Xs and the X I couldn't feel the difference at all in real life usage. iOS 12 has made the X lightning quick and buttery smooth. You can tell that the Xs is faster though when put side by side, the difference is more apparent when running heavy apps, but average everyday social media apps like FB, whatsapp etc next to NO DIFFERENCE in load speeds. Face ID unlocks prolly a split second faster? lol So I decided to pull the trigger on a brand new X instead then will dump the money I save on an Apple Watch Series 4 when it launches in Malaysia later. brows.gif

The Xr will most likely be as fast as the Xs so you sort of get the idea of how fast it will be compared to the X.

I have used the X for around two weeks now and:-
- Ditch your 8+ lol This is the future and the way to go. I felt like I just upgraded from an ancient dinosaur phone.
- Once you go OLED you never go back. This IMO is the biggest dealbreaker on the Xr. The screen on the Xr will be similar with the 8+. You will soon realize how washed out the LED screens are. no matter how good, after going OLED. I still have an iPhone 7 for work purposes and the screen, well lets just say I don't remember it looking this bad before. But its given by the company so I do not have any choice but to use it. tongue.gif
- I don't miss touch ID one bit or the home button. I feel Face ID is better and the gestures to navigate around apps, easier.
- The only thing I miss from the 8+...the excellent battery life, in which you will also get from the Xr....this is the only drawback from the X.

Yeah, unfortunately the way Apple is pricing their phones, each upgrade is only gonna get costlier! But definitely the bezel-less designs and Face ID is the way to go.

3GB RAM is plenty in iOS. Well, at least for me smile.gif

Also, I've never really appreciated 3D Touch and I think can count with two hands how many times I've used it since it was launched!

Based on the 6 Plus design, this is probably the longest "similar" design from Apple... normally it changes from each big iterative. 4/4s --> 5/5s --> 6/6s, 7/7s and 8/8s.

Using my first iPhone with 3D touch now... I guess the 3D touch only give you extra options... not really important IMO. And about the 3GB RAM, its still equivalent with the XS and XS feels smooth.

You are in the same position as me awhile back.

Just that I planned to upgrade to an Xs instead of the Xr like you. But after spending a day with the Xs and the X I couldn't feel the difference at all in real life usage. iOS 12 has made the X lightning quick and buttery smooth. You can tell that the Xs is faster though when put side by side, the difference is more apparent when running heavy apps, but average everyday social media apps like FB, whatsapp etc next to NO DIFFERENCE in load speeds. Face ID unlocks prolly a split second faster? lol So I decided to pull the trigger on a brand new X instead then will dump the money I save on an Apple Watch Series 4 when it launches in Malaysia later.  brows.gif

The Xr will most likely be as fast as the Xs so you sort of get the idea of how fast it will be compared to the X.

I have used the X for around two weeks now and:-
- Ditch your 8+ lol This is the future and the way to go. I felt like I just upgraded from an ancient dinosaur phone.
- Once you go OLED you never go back. This IMO is the biggest dealbreaker on the Xr. The screen on the Xr will be similar with the 8+. You will soon realize how washed out the LED screens are. no matter how good, after going OLED. I still have an iPhone 7 for work purposes and the screen, well lets just say I don't remember it looking this bad before. But its given by the company so I do not have any choice but to use it.  tongue.gif
- I don't miss touch ID one bit or the home button. I feel Face ID is better and the gestures to navigate around apps, easier.
- The only thing I miss from the 8+...the excellent battery life, in which you will also get from the Xr....this is the only drawback from the X.

I think XR might be faster due to less pixels for processor to crunch on screen biggrin.gif.

That’s why it is not worth it to get 8 plus or below phone now as the design is already old now. At least XR design is still new.

Depends what you need I guess, I just bought a iPhone 8 for my mum haha. She wants a small phone (yay saves my piggy bank from breaking).

But I guess for those who wants future proof the XR is a good buy.

XR size is in between 8 plus and 8, actually it cannot be too big plus it is bezeless design.
in fact, i think to older ppl, bigger screen is certainly a plus.

Initially she wanted my retired phone (6 Plus) but could not accept the size. Told her to wait for the XR... but she said too big, then she said wanted the smallest available... and iOS, so its the iPhone 8. She's using iPhone SE currently. But yes, she uses the fonts and all maxed out size haha...

that's why iphone XR may suit her. SE is too small size for older people if you ask me. not good for eyes certainly.

even now i find my SE small. it is good for photo taking due to small size but not good for daily tasks due to the limitation of the screen size.

inside is still relevant for sure.
iphone can use for 5 years easily.

however, it depends on how much you pay against the new XR price.

iPhone 7 Plus 32GB - SGD929
iPhone XR 64GB - SGD1229
on apple website

difference in price = SGD300 only

if iphone is to be used for 5 years from the year it launched.

you have XR/5 = SGD245.8/year

7 Plus/3 (since it is 2-year old phone so 3 years life span left) = SGD309.66

just compare the price vs life span remaining can tell that older model iphone is not necessarily cheaper.
not to mention that new iphone (current model) model is way faster in performance, more RAM, bigger screen, better camera, better features, better design etc...

paying sgd300 you get 2 years extra usage as compared to iphone 7 plus.
not to forget

it is 32gb iphone 7 plus vs 64GB XR.
the double in storage justify for the portion of $300 extra too.

True, and also the Xr design is newer and uses Face ID instead of Touch ID, so future proofing is better.

yes, this is why I try to say, cannot just simply compare the small savings for getting older models. Actually one is paying more in Long run that getting the latest model.

Comparing the spec of an Android phone and iPhone doesn't make much sense anyway, I'm only interested in the Pixel because of software. No other Android manufacturer does it as good as Google themselves, really. I buy phones mostly for software because that's what I spend time the most, secondly is camera

Been up for digging on the Pixel 3 series and actually even if people try to say that the 2018 iPhones are inferior in terms of specs, the Pixel 3 series can't do 4K 60fps and they are asking for 799USD for it. It has OLED and arguably better camera plus good software, so it's actually a debatable pricing even when compared to the XR.

all the flagship phones in terms of hardware etc may be comparable, but one thing will make a difference is the user experience. it is certainly different.

I'm a fan of Google's services and their superior camera, but those aren't enough to convince me to dump the better apps and overall consistency of iOS, not to mention the far better customer support in msia

Pixel 3 will be officially available in Singapore this time. Means should be easier for support or warranty claim done through trustable third party sellers in Malaysia.

Ofcourse Apple still better in the end.

Pixel is the official Android phone. Their software is the smoothest with the fastest updates. Alot of people misunderstand Android due to using Samsung as a comparison. But i seriously changed my opinion once i experienced Nexus before. Just that Google dosent sell officially in malaysia.

No doubt Google's phone operating on their own Android UI would be the smoothest, but I doubt the overall apps quality is up to par with iOS' simply because apps developer prefer iOS (if I'm not wrong iOS has a much more stringent requirements for developers listing their apps on the apps store)

I used both Android and iPhone
Seriously I don't think Apple app are better - perhaps it is for games only
Apple fans always said Apple app design are better ? I don't find it so at least for all my app ( no games)
I had yet to find a good app for both my iPad n iphone 8+ for tweeter, mail, Facebook. The ones on my Androids are way way much better : tweetcaster pro, maildroid and swipe for Facebook. The tweetcaster version for Apple is simply poor in comparison. Currently using echofon , built in mail and Facebook for the iphone. I had googled and tested practically all I could find and yet to find a satisfying iOS app. Any tips is welcome for these 3 app??

Not just game, some social apps like Instagram on iOS has better animation, more fluid and smooth. Maybe not all cares about this small detail but there's a difference though

It's only much more apparent in Instagram and Snapchat, I have friends who use S9 and snaps/instagram stories from their phones somehow has crappy frame rates and quality compared to my aging 5s. Other apps just seem to work just as fine. Some apps are developed using the React Native/Flutter framework which basically means it's a cross platform so there is not much difference. Apps I always use like Discord is one of the many examples of using apps developed with React Native and it runs like a charm on both platforms.

I don't think it was about performance, more like consistencies between apps. Some support swiping from the sides to go back, some don't. Some people do prefer consistent designs between apps to feel more consistent. More like that.

Two different sources have informed us that the XR will launch together with the XS/XS Max on 26th October.

Usually their info is pretty accurate when it comes to launch dates but as with any rumour, take it with a grain of salt.

BTW any one here had purchased the XR from 11th Street with delivery by end Oct??

Was quite firm on the XR but got a very attractive offer from a Spore friend on his less than 2 weeks old 256gb XsMax . He just doesn't like it and prefers his Note 8! Guess he is like me, more of a pro Android user. He will be seeing me next week to deal. BTW he is a rich guy and willing to dispose it cheap cheap to me . He is willing at my offer price! Update you guys the price once I had finalize the deal with him.

Apple claims the Xr has 1.5 hours more battery life than the 8 Plus, and the 8 Plus has the best battery life so far amongst their current generation of devices. So assuming that is true, than the Xr has the best battery life to date smile.gif

We were surprised to hear that too, especially since the 26th is the global launch date for the XR and there is bound to be a shortage of stock.

For the XR the 3D touch will be replaced by Haptic touch right.

Do you guys think that the Haptic Touch will have the exact same features as the 3D touch?

It's basically the same thing but 3D touch uses pressure while Haptic uses the duration of pressing

i think it wont work like shortcut on app icons on home screen. cause if long press on the app icons will trigger to delete/remove apps. but im not sure if it will work on notifications

actually for me i use 3D touch a lot especially on calendar, notifications on lock screen for quick reply (SMS, Whatsapp), photos app for peek. sad to see Xr doesnt have this function anymore.

i think it wont work like shortcut on app icons on home screen. cause if long press on the app icons will trigger to delete/remove apps. but im not sure if it will work on notifications

actually for me i use 3D touch a lot especially on calendar, notifications on lock screen for quick reply (SMS, Whatsapp), photos app for peek. sad to see Xr doesnt have this function anymore.

iOS 12 already allows the cursor move without 3D touch.

ipad also does not have 3D touch function.

and with the alternate solution of haptic touch, it is not too bad even without 3D touch.

iOS 12 has trackpack feature for all iPhones and iPad now so it is no longer a deal breaker.

It's from the Apple Store app. Check your sources before accusing others of making up pages... We have better things to do.

24 months installment won't be available on Apple online, but you can try retailers like SenQ, Harvey Norman, etc.

If you're comfortable with your current Telco, then yes, by all means get a contract smile.gif

If your data usage matches the contract offer , than go ahead
I know of some who signed up contract paying rm90 to rm120 a month but only use less than 50% of the data
This is wasting money . You need to weigh the savings of the phone price you can get from the contract . You could get a cheaper phone but end of 24 months you are paying higher as the data was not fully well utilised

good for bolehland, first time ever to get the iphone first wave as other countries. tongue.gif

i think one thing now is that apple has enough stocks even for first wave, so stock availability is not an issue nowadays that all countries can get it quite easily.

one thing to note, the price of iphone XR is actually close to rm50 cheaper than lion city.
