I'm torn between otterbox commuter and spigen tougher. Tough armor was all I've ever used and it never failed me at all. The red is so sexy lolol

Just buy Mous Clarity lah. Haha.
Then kasi review sikit. Got rainbow effect or not.
Their case claim to be anti yellowing lah, airoshock lah and macam macam lagi

I've never used any clear case before. Due to my work is 100% outdoor with extreme conditions, I don't have the luxury to use any of those clear cases. But they're surely nice, just not meant for me haha.

People will still complain even if xr is having the exact same spec with xs or even the max. Lower resolution from a LCD? I have my big screen tv for my video viewing time. Bezel? Do you look at your screen or the bezels? biggrin.gif

Not everyone have big screen TV at home ma.... a lot here are students and unfortunately they do watch movie on iPhone tongue.gif

For me, i never watch a single movie on iPhone. Even for YouTube i stream it to my big ass TV in the hall using google chromecast.

Nowadays a 4K tv cost less than a phone, and I won't underestimate the spending power from students. Their pocket money can be higher than certain working adults biggrin.gif

Since my journey with Apple started since iPhone 2g,3G,4 and 6 and the xr now all of the phones lasted at least 2 years without any issue. So, for me I wouldn't mind where I buy them. But of course only the 2g was a non local set

1. Front camera
I read that the iPhone XR has only 1 front camera. Does that mean that we cannot take selfies using iPhone XR? If I have misunderstopod, then what difference is the camera function compared with other previous iPhones (where they have dual cameras)? Any deficiencies in iPhone XR in this regard?

2. Dual sim card

I also read that it can store 2 sim cards. Does it mean if we have 2 lines (one Maxis, one Celcom), then we can switch between these 2 lines anytime? But what about the Apps - certain Apps (like WhatsApp) can use with only 1 telco line at a time).... unless you back-up, then delete and re-install WhatsApp under a different telco simcard.... but this would be troublesome.

How does it work?
*
1. XR is having both the same selfie and main camera as the other latest models. The only missing camera would be the telephoto lens, which means it's only using digital instead of the optical zoom. The portrait mode is only limited to human objects.

2. Only a few models like Hong Kong is having physical dual sim. Our very own MY sets are having 1 physical and another e-sim (yet to be officially launched by local telco(s) as of now). Only 1 whatsapp can be used at one time, OFFICIALLY.

1. No optical zoom means cannot zoom while taking photos? I don’t understand what you mean by limited to humans for portraits.

2. e-Sim? What is that?
*
Optical zoom is directly using the telephoto lens which is much clearer for zoomed-in photos comparing XR using digital zoom.

eSIM is like a SIM card/mobile no directly uploaded to the phone, rather than the common physical SIM card.

The best is just take a look at the review videos in YouTube for a better idea.

Hey all, planning to buy an iPhone XR but I'm still not sure if I should wait a few weeks in case there's an upcoming sales.

Anyone can recommend a store that provides easy payment plan? I'm on Digi so I'm between purchasing with telco or at any official reseller.
*
Afaik all the stores provide EPP. Certain banks even offer up to 36 months depending on the amount of purchase.

anyone purchase extra storage for icloud? Thking to purchase 50gb a month. Rm3.90pm. Reasonable kan

It’s reasonable as long as you think that it’s not overpaid. My wife and I are sharing using the 200GB plan. Basically it’s all because the hassle free thingy. I’ve tried backup her phone and I straightaway purchased the plan. No more headache since then. Lolol

Normally I’ll just watch a movie on my tv while performing the backup/restore. So, it’s pretty much manageable. Haha

Which type of SP is recommended? Full screen SP (which covers almost 100% bezel) or the other SP with the cutout (which is slightly smaller and only covers partly the bezel).

My concerns is that with the full screen versions, would it affects when using casing? Also how easy to install it yourself? Thanks for any input.

I’m using the TG from spigen. Fairly easy to apply yourself. It’s full screen.
