QUOTE(Mackiddo @ Oct 5 2018, 11:58 PM) of coz. there is no iPhone X in the market that is > 1 year old currently. Haha, true enough. QUOTE(Mackiddo @ Oct 6 2018, 12:00 AM) yup but it doesn't matter. I always do RMA with Apple, especially their charging cables. Think I have rma >3 charging cables over the years. Wow, touch wood I’ve never had to do RMA with Apple ever since I first started using their phones (iPhone 4), not even their cables. Hopefully it stays that way!

QUOTE(svchia78 @ Oct 4 2018, 11:28 PM) I backed-up everything on iTunes before updating to iOS 12 and then setup as new phone. When I downgraded to 11.4.1 and tried restoring, error popped up saying that 11.4.1 on my X was "too old" to restore the back-up So, in the end had to set up the phone as new again after restoring 11.4.1. And running the phone on 11.4.1 and 12 as 'new phones' made the battery life difference very obvious. I am sory i cannot get you. I was thinking to downgrade too but i exprienced once i cannot restore my backup from itunes due to too old version. May i know what can i do to get all my backup back into my phone? Via icloud?

So, I don’t dare to say more. Time-consuming for sure to set-up the phone all over again. But the only backup I need restored is my Whatsapp messages. There was no problem to restore my Whatsapp as I have a separate backup in iCloud. This post has been edited by svchia78: Oct 6 2018, 12:48 PM

My brand new iPhone X Face ID isn’t working. Error pop up keeps saying Face ID isn’t available, try again later. Tried all software resets and still the same. Sent in to Apple service today. Haih....so much for Apple products quality control.
Anyone else experienced this?

There was no problem to restore my Whatsapp as I have a separate backup in iCloud. Now almost everything can be backed up via icloud, when you log in on ios11.4, can all the stock apps history like photos and contacts downloaded automatically? I assume whatsapp has no such issue.

Hopefully it stays that way! but ok i guess. for those early adapters, even the oldest of the reburbished set in the market is only as old as the iphone X you are carrying now.

hi guys. newbie in iphones here. thinking of buying the X but not sure to jump in now or wait for the XR. plus, do most telcos discontinue the previous model right after the new one goes on sale? i'm a little bit worried maxis will stop selling the X cos i'm looking to get it next month.

Once the stocks of the X is finished, all telcos including maxis will stop selling it as Apple has discontinued the production of the X. You can check at maxis website for availability. Aside from the new A12 chip and bigger battery capacity in the Xr, the X is a superior phone to the Xr and is still a good buy given the recent price cut.

Ofc Switch is selling at a much premium rate but it seems for me, the protection plan is worthy, what do u thk?

I don't believe much in protection plans coz I think it's crazily overpriced here but if you think it's a good deal then of course you may go for it. I'd rather buy the phone on a cheaper deal and then get a good case and tempered glass for protection instead.
