Yup, my XR is boring and lacks all the bells and whistles of Android's latest and greatest - but it works how I expect it to and doesn't annoy me that much smile.gif

Back to my trusty XR for the time being till I get itchy again, haha. Thought of trying the Mate 20 Pro or X, now that the price has been cut, but after playing with the display sets again just now, I might just skip and wait for OP7. May try some midrange ones while waiting.

Hey guys, I am looking at getting a new iPhone as my secondary phone.

I am using Note 9 as my primary and an iPhone 5 as my secondary phone.
Currently the iPhone 5 is kinda bloated up, suspecting it is due to the battery.
Also I am missing out on updates with the 5, so I am considering to upgrade to perhaps XR or maybe to a 7.

Hope to hear some thoughts from you guys the regular iPhone users. I am interested to keep my secondary phone as compact as possible and I have no need for a telephoto lens.

I feel the quality of the camera is somewhat important to me, because I might want to use it to shoot simple vacation photo using my gimbal (the Note is too cumbersome to frequently use on a gimbal) and also some gimbal software are better on the iOS than Android. Hence the consideration of the latest camera, the XR.

Should I get the 7 or perhaps wait a bit more and get the XR later (when the newer iPhones are announced/launched)? Apple should be launching some new stuff soon, no?

As a backup phone I'd say the 7 is good enough. I don't think it's necessary to splurge over RM3k on a backup phone biggrin.gif

Haha, if a new iPhone 7 is like RM1k or below RM1k like those cheapo China phones, then it is a no brainer. laugh.gif

"New" iPhone 7 32GB on Machine Clearance sales also need RM1.8k bangwall.gif

A new iPhone 7 128GB by Switch is RM2k.

If I renew my Digi mobile plan contract with phone (just expired), iPhone 7 128GB is RM1.6k (provided if Digi still has stock) vs iPhone XR 128GB is RM3.3k rclxub.gif

yeah, i would think so, get the XR to use it as main, then current phone to use it as backup.
unless 7 is a lot cheaper now, else no point to get.

but do note that XR is also half year old now and new one is coming up soon in september, it maybe more worthwhile to get it in september 2019 instead..

That’s iPhones for you laugh.gif

Unless you get a pre-loved one, new ones are pretty high in price too, even though it’s two generations old.
