Worse case scenario can change battery if the health deteriorates too much. I think the X can last as long as your iPad Mini 2 laugh.gif

yup, changing battery can make new life of the phone. I had changed my iPhone 6 Plus with new battery and it is lasting quite well. SE also changed but somehow SE battery life is not satisfactory all the while even with new battery.

SE battery too small already la bro.. biggrin.gif

yeah. to be frank, screen is too small thar’s The reason I use back my 6 plus as secondary phone now.

But SE i bought for collection purpose also becos last time did not get iphone 5 or 5s. 😜 made a stoopig mistake to go for samseng note 3 which was super terrible phone just simply becos I could not get the first wave of iPhone 5s at launch.
*
Note 3 was horrible. I remember once it started heating up in my pocket even when on standby. I didn't go for the 5S though because I had the 4, 4S and 5 and by then I was tired of small screens laugh.gif

Yes, it is the phone that made me confirmed that I will never go for Samseng phones in future and Apple is the only choice,

Yup. I rmb when when I tried out note 3 back then when I was young I was totally impressed with the back leather but man it was hot during standby mode when data was on.
But to be Frank their new phone is good but their launch price ain't cheap. Good thing is the value drop as fast as those old hyundai while iphones hold up their value like a Toyota lolz

Ya, gotta give credit where credit is due, they’ve come a long way since they ditched their cheapo plasticky designs from the S6 onwards and started refining their software. It’s still not as bloat-free as I’d hoped it to be but it’s pretty acceptable these days. You’re right about the price though - they’ve also gone premium smile.gif

samseng launch price for their falgship is not cheap either. just that their price will drop even it is only weeks after launch.

this is the difference.

actually now can tell that telcos does offer more discount for new iphones. so as long as u are not buying the phone itself, iphone is certainly worth the money paid for.
*
After spending 4.8k on both my iPhone X and XS Max each, I've reached a realization that no phone is worth above RM4k. So yeah, no more buying iPhones above RM4k outright for me too smile.gif

True enough, i was a diehard fan of android before this and i only changed to iphone coz im a loyal maxis fan since start and i badly wanted to change a phone but looking at maxis plan, their samsung and huawei after 24 months installment has nothing more than RM100 discount while iphone series has discount up to RM600-800 ohmy.gif Clearly shows Maxis support iPhone purchase alot, i mean who wont knowing their resale value is still bloody high  rclxms.gif

Heck, even their 4 YEARS OLD model iPhone 6S 32GB still selling for rm1,399 original brand new set while their iPhone 7 128GB selling for a good RM1,999! If other android brand sure either no resale value or RM200 maybe?  biggrin.gif
*
Ya, the iPhone 6S was launched in 2015 - that's the same year as the Galaxy S6. Can find a refurbished one on Lazada for 499 laugh.gif

hahah this!

really just cant justify at all

the pricing for apple iphones are just insane. like USD1k samsungs and huawei are just RM3.7k

why the heck are apple's RM4.9k? :x

No doubt we get more love from Samsung and Huawei than we do from Apple - especially here in Bolehland laugh.gif

QUOTE(westlife @ May 2 2019, 09:23 PM)
I think the qns should be if this is so obvious in terms of price competition, why not ppl just go for the better value choice instead? 😜
*
Coz if they are invested in the iOS ecosystem, they don't really have a choice - unless if they buy previous gen devices, which I might do as well laugh.gif

Depends on whether you use the functions of the Apple Watch
If you nvr use the functions and only tell the time, then better to go with other "dumber" watches nod.gif

I don’t need one more additional gadget to charge nightly, so no smart watches for me biggrin.gif

QUOTE(G-17 @ May 4 2019, 08:44 AM)
Same. That and I don't really see any benefit from the iWatch anyway. All my notifications require interaction levels that a small watch screen can't give me. Health tracking? I have cigarettes and alcohol for that. Maybe one day when smartwatches become so power efficient that they can be solar powered like those Casio G-Shock/ProTrek watches, then I might consider. Already have to worry about charging two smartphones, bluetooth headphones (f*ck Apple for removing the 3.5mm jack), laptop, etc. In future will probably even need to worry about charging our cars. Enough headache already.
*
I like your health tracking solution, hahaha...

Ya, I’m happy with my hybrid solar/battery G-Shock - haven’t changed the battery in close to 5 years laugh.gif

i might hold on to mine a bit longer now coz i’m having multiple eSim in my current phone. a bit hassle to ask for eSim replacement, especially from yoodo which still in beta testing and there is no other local prepaid eSim telco
*
Ya, thats why dual physical SIM is less hassle for now. I might let go of either my XS Max or XR before the warranty ends, to salvage some value before Apple announces the next gen iPhones smile.gif

Make sure let it go before warranty expiring date laugh.gif

Mine so far so good, just had the screen off no responses issue.
Something like screen protecting for self shut down within 30sec pressing any buttons no response.
After than is function well laugh.gif

I just exchanged my XR with my wife's XS Max over the weekend coz she wanted to try the XR. Instantly I noticed the the difference in battery life laugh.gif

Based on my estimation probably 1-2 hours additional in screen time isn't an issue if based on the same standby time.
