V4

Considering its local set, no warranty hassle, its considered a good deal. Might go pick one up later.

Just wondering, if there's any storage speed difference between 64GB and 256GB?

Congrats on V4!

👏

hey guys.. besides the ori apple usb c to lightning.. any other good brand?

Read last few pages of v3, Mcdodo seems good.

Apple's pirce hike strategy is paying off

Apple devices are getting more expensive across the board, helping the company earn more per device

Despite a zero percent change in iPhone unit sales year over year, Apple ended its fiscal fourth quarter with a 29 percent revenue increase in its smartphone division. It also met its overall revenue target of $62.9 billion — up from $52.5 billion this quarter last year. Both sales and profit exceeded Wall Street expectations for the quarter.

Apple’s Q4 quarter ended in September, meaning it only accounted for the first few weeks of the new iPhone XS and XS Max going on sale. (The iPhone XR, which was also announced in September, did not become available for preorder until October.) Despite the slow sales growth, the average selling price per iPhone is now $793, up from $724 in Q3.

The increase suggests that Apple’s price hike strategy appears to be working; the trillion-dollar company introduced its first smartphone to cross the thousand-dollar starting price in 2017 with the 10th anniversary iPhone, and continued the trend of pricier phones this year with the $749 iPhone XR, $999 iPhone XS, and $1,099 iPhone XS Max. (It also discontinued its cheapest $399 iPhone SE after the announcement.)

Apple also announced new iPad and MacBook devices at an event this week. The starting price of the refreshed MacBook Air is now $1,199, up from $999, and the Mac mini starts at $799, up from $499. Accessories are also seeing a price bump: the new Apple Pencil 2 costs $129 — up from $99 — and the new Smart Keyboard starts at $179, the price of the most expensive version of the folio’s previous model. The more expensive Apple products come as the Cupertino company stated to the US Trade Representative last month that proposed tariffs by the Trump administration will make Apple products — including the Apple Watch, AirPods, and chargers — even more expensive.

Meanwhile, Apple’s Services division, which includes AppleCare, iCloud, and Apple Music, reached an all-time revenue record of $10 billion. (It should be noted that the costs to fix Apple products seem to also increase alongside them, with the new iPad Pro costing as much as $649 to repair without AppleCare+.) iPad sales were expectedly down compared to last quarter ahead of this week’s keynote, while Mac sales saw a unit increase of 42 percent after a new MacBook Pro was announced in July

With many new Apple hardware announced this week and priced at their most expensive yet, Apple is naturally forecasting a strong holiday quarter ahead, with a fiscal Q1 revenue expected between $89 billion and $93 billion, up from $88.3 billion this time last year. It’ll be harder to calculate the average selling prices of iPhones, Macs, and iPads going forward, though. Apple’s Chief Financial Officer Luca Maestri announced during the earnings call that the company will no longer disclose unit sales starting next quarter, claiming that those numbers do not accurately represent sales performance.

Link on the poster/flyer? Didn't see at directd website.

Nothing strange about not disclosing their sales figures. Apple is going for quality sales now rather than quantity.

#Make Apple a thrillion dollar company

V4 already! That was quick!

Look for their Deepavali Sale link, I shared it in the previous version of this thread yesterday.

Yeah, I know. I read their quarterly report yesterday as well. What to do, you want to use their product, you pay the price they dictate

Apple doesn’t have an ori dual earphone and charging dongle though

I’m wondering if we can have threads on buying iPhones XS, threads talking about casing, threads just discussion about the phones. I mean, I know our style here is to lump everything together but I already own the phone and is not interrelated to read where else is selling cheaper or which telco give better rate etc etc. I also already have a case. But I’d like to talk about the phone.

There is a thread dedicated to accessories but as it is, that thread already struggling to be “active”. If we create such specific threads for the phone, accessories, availability, etc. then could be a problem to try and keep everyone from posting the right topic of discussion into the right thread

Here we go again. How Apple is going to make you buy the latest Iphone XR, XS and XS Max. Thrillion Dollar company, in the making.

CNet :- Apple is throttling performance on the Iphone X, Iphone 8 and 8 Plus with IOS 12.1

"Apple admitted last year that it slows down older iPhones to help prevent battery issues like unexpected shutdowns. But not everyone took kindly to their iPhones being purposefully throttled.

Initially, this battery throttling only applied to the iPhone 6S or older. Later it came to the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. As of iOS 12.1 it's coming to the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X. It shouldn't be as drastic, however, as it was on the 6S.

In iOS 11.3, Apple gave iPhone users access to its battery management tools, which let people using older iPhones turn on or off the throttling feature (called peak performance capability). In a support page updated Wednesday, Apple said that the feature will come to last year's iPhones, the iPhone 8, 8 Plus and X, with iOS 12.1. But Apple points out that performance management may be less noticeable due to the newer iPhones' more advanced hardware and software.

iPhone batteries naturally degrade as time goes on, and the throttling and unexpected shutdowns are more likely to occur with older iPhones. Since the 8, 8 Plus and X are newer, their batteries are likely to be in better shape than their older iPhone counterparts.

Still, if you do suspect any throttling or battery degradation in your 2017 iPhone, you'll be able to closely monitor battery management in iOS 12.1 settings. From there you'll be able to see if your iPhone is being throttled, and turn it on or off."

luckily i havent see my ipx get throttle with 94% battery health... almost a year coming 24th Nov

Time to change to the XS/ XS Max.



This post has been edited by TOMEI-R: Nov 3 2018, 04:38 PM

been using Xs since end of September lol, i bought SG set.. ipx now with parents

Wow ! So fast V4 !

did you guys even read properly in the first place?

Apple only starts the throttle if you have the first reboot when the battery couldnt provide the required power

man people and shallow reading

New owner reporting in!

Bought together with OtterBox Symmetry case


Attached thumbnail(s)

we all know lah... nobody mentioned it force throttle anyhow... why you so serious

kena /k vilus

hard to identify troll vs serious

Congrats and welcome on board!

Word of caution though, the clear Symmetry case tends to scratch quite easily.

CarPlay users who frequently use Waze for navigation, does your iPhone heat up a lot? Was traveling earlier, noticed it heat up quite a bit and is abnormal. Restarted iPhone and tried again still same, then I disconnected and later on plug back then it was normal now 🤦‍♂️

My car’s CarPlay USB port is 1.5A only.

nope, my phone screen off when using waze for carplay. if slight warm could be gps from phone is in used.

Are u using up x lol

How do you find the symmetry case? A bit difficult to fit in and take out the phone right?

Hmm, just now was ok. Otw back from dinner, it heated up again damn . Wonder what is wrong though.

What is "up x"?

I think he meant “ip x”

Oh, XS Max. Friend's X on the same car didn't noticed this issue hmm.

REPORTED ME

Coming from P20pro, after few days using Xs Max, I feel the battery life is kind of dissappointing 😅. On iOS 12.1 now

Well.. sorted esim today, but no solution for dual WhatsApp yet. Lol

Nobody said Apple got official dual WhatsApp app 🤣🤣

I didn’t say anybody says. Lol

Oops, I mixed up with hardwarezone ppl's always asking this question, sorry I am bad.

you can download and use this.
lots of ads, but its workable.

need to accept the developer in your settling profile before use.

Hi, I saw this ads in Carousell. Shop in lowyat. US Set. Any pro / cons buying us set? How to identify if it’s not telco locked or sim turbo or phone on rent /loan scheme (such maxis 360 / celcom rent etc)

What color is your Symmetry?

Ouch. What case are you using?

I’m using iPhone Max. Why can’t I achieve 800mbps download speed using Speedtest.net?

800mps?
Even SG for 1GB speed were clock on 550-600 mbps only

Plus.. wifi wont shoot to 800mbps...

seriously.. 100mbps is more than good enuf for me already....

Do you really need that kinda speed?

i get 400++Mbps only for my Xs, but mine UniFi is 500Mbps package

hahahaha, 100mbps fast already, 2-3gb ios update not that long to download. but maybe he want to test drive iphone wifi maximum speed. just make sure u have better and superb router to support high wifi signal.

Where can buy Xs silicon case ori but cheaper

So far the only place I know confirm selling original plus cheaper than RRP for Apple items is Lazada Apple Store, you may consider there.

try go to maxis centre and ask 20% discount.

Actually 10gb is more than enough unless you need to constantly download through bittorent. Normal surfing and app usagw definately wont reach 800mbps.

Try standing nearer to the router.

This post has been edited by TOMEI-R: Nov 4 2018, 04:12 PM

It won't reach 500 mbps one, only max 400+

What wireless router you are using?

check here to check your router can support 800mbps or not

here

I’m using Asus RT-Ac5300. For sure it can support beyond 800mbps

I think iPhone and Android can only detect less than 700mbps

Just received my mcdodo shark dodo charger and cable. going to test it toninght

Ya, exactly. As long as I have strong and stable 4G, I’m good

I don’t think maxis centres have Apple ori cases.

Congrats to ur fast toy 😬😬

Look below..

detect my home google wifi lah

thanks waiting for baseus wireless charging from aliexpress. im actually charging right now. from 70 precent and now 95 percent almost 30 minutes. damn fast.

If your phone can detect means such speed is possible.

This post has been edited by TOMEI-R: Nov 4 2018, 06:33 PM

Nice bro, let us know the result after you tested.

How much did you spend on that combo bro?

Yesterday im searching TG & case at Eko Cheras. Compare price at Switch & Maxis same.

I buy Hoda full TG & Itskin Hybrid-S (bcos got stand) - save 20%

What brand u mean ori? Spigen also have.

Make sure the maxis is a Maxis branch and not a dealer, as far as I know only the branches offer 20% discount on all cases for maxis customers. I bought a UAG Plasma for Note 9 from maxis Sunway Pyramid with such offer.

i just finish charging from 70% to 100% 34 minutes. forgot to screenshot earlier and finish. will do again later with screenshot

combo rm80.50 free postage coupon- rm9.40 cheaper than single apple usb type c to lighting cable.

“For iPhone”. Wanna pirate MFI logo also...

Sounds like a good deal there for below RM90

yes for me, never use original apple cable or charger before. if plus baseus 10w qi wireless charger RM 45 . it would be RM 125 total.

is there any 3rd party lightning to Type-C cable that supported PD quick charge?

TQ

good deal, where can get?

my post earlier with 3rd party usb type c cable support PD charger

shopee of course
1. 3rd type c to lighting
2. 3rd party usb type c to lighting with PD support
3. 3rd party PD Charger 41 Watt Mcdodo (out of stock already )

EDIT: NVM; just saw ur links above in this page... Haha

This post has been edited by tenakira: Nov 4 2018, 09:47 PM

my Xs Max battery normally after 2 hours it will turun around 98-97. after full charge using mcdodo pd and mcdodo type almost 3 hours the battery is still 100%. . will update later.
