I wonder if xr will end up like 5c. 🤔

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

Yeah, but with the aluminium build it definitely feels more premium la. The 5C plastic housing is pretty meh.

It's glass coz it supports wireless charging smile.gif

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

True, plus also 128GB seems to be the sweet spot for iPhone storage. Well, at least for me, personally smile.gif

I have read somewhere prices will be within Rm3888. Thats the price of the very current flagship model with stylus from a direct competitor. shakehead.gif  Wait, some idiot will say compare Apple with an Apple, not with other brands.  whistling.gif  doh.gif

Imagine my horror last night when I saw that said current flagship with stylus going for 2700 in our Garage Sale...

More or less. Somehow quite disappointed since its not using oled display

This is meant to be a cheaper option, if you need OLED can go for the Xs or Xs Max

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.

Right. I can count how many or rather how few times I used it since 6S smile.gif

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...
*
Errr, agree with you on all counts except yellow won't be my color of choice laugh.gif

QUOTE(leon898 @ Sep 14 2018, 04:34 PM)
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

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.
*
Yeah, my kid accidentally upgraded to iOS 11 before I could warn him otherwise smile.gif At this point I have nothing to lose but to go to 12, Haha...

QUOTE(iStand_store @ Sep 14 2018, 07:00 PM)
haha lets not judge it and wait to see in real life first, i am sensitive to number on android devices but not apple
*
The PPI is the same as the regular iPhones 6,7 and 8, so I'm thinking it shouldn't be that bad but yeah, hard to judge till we see it for ourselves.

Different folks, different strokes. Only thing matters, I like yellow iPhone xr
Honestly, I like iPhone 7 anodised red shade. If iPhone xr red resemble iPhone 8 red, l’m not really fancy it.

If you like red, I’ve no problem.
*
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

You're probably right. I guess we've to wait and see if Xr has different shade of red or not. Blue or white colour is nice too.  thumbsup.gif

I found this online bro. Shows all the color options closely.



Suddenly, I want the Red too!

Definitely will get one for me wife. Now considering the color between Blue, Red or Yellow. Coral too plain on the bezel.

But your wife might end up picking Coral since it does have a very feminine flavour to it smile.gif
