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

The XR has a glass back like the 8/8 Plus right? Don't think it would feel that cheap la tongue.gif.

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.

Erm not really, Apple has been using that name for ages now since iPhone 4s if im not mistaken. Just a name for their displays, doesnt mean its high res.

Retina display started since iPhone 4... where >300 ppi = retina display.

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...

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.

Seems like the XS, XS Max and XR has different CPU clock speed despite being A12?

If the iPhone 4, 5, 6, 7 looks good to you... this will look exactly the same despite bigger screen. Same pixel per inch ratio biggrin.gif

I would go with XR with the choices you gave... basically the A12 and best bang for bucks.

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

4,4s,5,5s looks vivid due to smaller screen
6,7,8 nah,not really
Only plus version got better display

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!
My will power still strong bro... I still tahan - but only just! smile.gif

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.

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)

Wife's 5s (ex mine haha!) still survive... only issue is kept changing battery dry.gif

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

Holy... cheap, need to hunt for these deals now... most likely gonna go for the XR during 11.11 for wifey. Hopefully good deals by then.

no one will know until that time the leaks haha.

but I would rather they call iPhone mini, iphone, iPhone pro without anything. then every year the phone we just call it iPhone mini 2018 and so on.
*
iPhone, iPhone Pro, iPhone Pro Max

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...

i like the name of 'mini' as what i love my ipad mini hahaha.
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.

So XR = mini? Then XS = micro? tongue.gif since XS is smaller than XR in dimension.
