the usual last minute rumors! and then come September we can't wait for the date of launch. This year around mid- September?

Now the Note fever going on which will end soon when Mate 30 launches followed by iPhone and the usual criticism about "it's just same ol' thing" and end with Pixel 4 - which has a very suspicious similar camera set up to iPhone.

In between sprinkled by Xioami and Realme and maybe HTC.

No news about Nokia. Are they over?

September 10 is the rumoured launch date. I’m guessing end October by the time it reaches Malaysia.

From the leaks, it seems so. Just the ugly triple camera layout on the back for us to contend with smile.gif

Some people here have had success in claiming warranty for HK sets, but they got replacement MY set, i.e. e-SIM and one physical SIM slot set. But for water damage, it's hard to say.

Battery for sure welcome. Hope it lasts though. The current Max is disappointing with its battery life. iOS famous for battery standby management and watch the juice drain!
That’s for moderate daily use without gaming.

But 6G RAM is a surprise (if true)
*
Yeah, true that. I doubt it will be the case though, Apple is usually not that generous with RAM since they don't give you more than what they think is sufficient.

anyone actually send their unit to singapore apple for out of warranty replacement? i see singapore apple charging sgd888 for other repair which is most likely replacement package, but machines charging 3599 not include service charge. better ask someone staying at singapore to send to singapore for repair then? nearly 1k difference. I asked optiprimus they charging me 3799 for exchange unit.. they can take in my dual sim unit.
fuk i just checked with t&l telecom.. they seems like reluctant to provide service to send to apple service centre for service.. they only can take in warranty unit.. they give me reason like water damage is like they dont know what part is broken. later fix this that problem come out.. but i just want to send to apple authorized service provider, which they only provide replacement/exchange for water damage. They dont fix the phone.
*
Singapore has an actual Apple Store hence that’s why repairing it there may be cheaper and faster. Might be worth sending it there if you do go there or if you know someone there who can help. Yeah, T&L claims they can provide warranty coz they have an office here but I’ve read a few cases about how they’ve given customers the run around when contacted. I wouldn’t bet on them for after sales service.

QUOTE(soitsuagain @ Sep 1 2019, 06:04 PM)
Hope it comes sooner this time. Still waiting for Apple store in KL though sigh.

Hahaha, that may not happen anytime soon, judging by our economy and weakness of our currency.

i see.. ya the price is more palatable. My Sis is in SG, but i worried they wont take in my HK unit. When i talked to Apple support chat, they actually say the apple service provider in malaysia may not be able to fix my unit because is different region. I have fren going back to China so it may be my best bet to get it replaced/repaired there, around 2.7k myr only. Yeah T&L is like pusing 1 round say macam they reluctant altho i say i will pay everything including delivery.
*
I think Apple SG will fix iPhones from any region. Just that water damage might not be covered by warranty.

QUOTE(westlife @ Sep 2 2019, 08:37 AM)
Impossible. If u can get extra ‘1GB’ from last year iPhones, it is already a ‘surprise’.

Anyway, it is known for iOS to have good memory management. Apple definitely gives u ‘enough’ ram to run for years (at least 5 and above).

*
Agreed. 4GB RAM is probably as good as it gets.

Yeah, modern phones have water resistant rating but no warranty against water damage. Go figure! smile.gif

Indeed. If there is no 128GB option for the successors of the XS or XS Max then I'll go with the successor of the XR.

Lol yeah iMessaging is almost non existent. iOS users pun use whatsapp.

I do like using FaceTime though - I’ve found it to be more reliable than other video call platforms for me smile.gif

QUOTE(westlife @ Sep 5 2019, 01:33 AM)
indeed. becos u cannot confirm if ur recipient have imesssge or not too. but not iMessage problem. Becos nowadays people do not use sms. iMessage actually save people on the number of sms quota last time becos if it is iOS users, sms will be sent as iMessage.

But to me iMessage is still good becos I can forward sms between all my Apple devices such as those TAC message. On all devices when I do internet banking, I can see and input those tac without looking at the particular iPhone.
*
That’s why all the telcos give us unlimited SMS already coz they know we don’t use it, hahaha. Ya, having iMessage on multiple devices is pretty handy - like you said, it’s convenient to get TAC on your iPad or Mac when you’re doing a banking transaction coz sometimes your phone might be somewhere else in the house and not close by.

September 10 (or rather 11) can’t come soon enough!

The new model launching in a few days will be called the IP XI Pro this round bro... Anyway, it will will be sharing the same display as per last year's Xs Max. In short, same display, same design, same size, minor updates to the internals, a larger battery, an extra camera, front wide angle camera. That sums it up.
So another reason to hold on for another year. biggrin.gif  attw

Another reason to wait for next year's iphone. tongue.gif 
Apple’s big 2019 iPhone event is just days away, but in typical style, Bloomberg is spilling some of the company’s secrets for next year — or maybe the year after that. According to a new report, Apple is at work on in-display fingerprint authentication technology similar to what we’ve seen used by Samsung, OnePlus, Huawei, and other Android phone makers. This would mark the return of the company’s Touch ID method of security, which would coexist with Face ID to give consumers two ways of quickly bypassing the device’s lock screen.
Bloomberg’s report follows a similar report last month from noted industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. Kuo also said that Apple wanted the in-display fingerprint sensor to work alongside Apple’s Face ID facial recognition technology on the iPhone. Kuo however said it wouldn’t be ready until 2021
.
Apple developing on screen touch id for 2020 Iphones

I'm happy with FaceID though having a TouchID option when the phone is flat on the desk is convenient too.

I'm upgrading this year coz my maxis contract is due, otherwise I'd be out of here too, hahaha...
