Looking at the leaks, Im not expecting much from them for this round.  laugh.gif

read on an article they say this year's iphone is playing safe.. most likely no usb-c, + the ugly back lens..

QUOTE(westlife @ Jul 2 2019, 08:35 AM)
Actually they just need to make a iphone with exact same iPad Pro design which is Squarish then it will be nice enough already..

agree, not sure why they want to put the notch there, although im quite fine with it..

Not downgrade lar bro. They will tell you they will be giving you a better chipset, additional camera and err....what else?

xs max is already very overkill with the specs.. dont need one with tad better specs but uglier version.. so to me it sounds like a downgrade despite better specs biggrin.gif

I'd settle for two words - bigger battery!

Cool, my contract is also due this year, will see the real thing first, but from all the leaks, most likely I’ll downgrade my plan..

On maxis RM158 now bro, thinking of downgrading to RM98 or RM128.

Oh..iPhone minimum plan was 128 back then when the x launched.. Not sure about the next iPhone.i felt the 158 is a bit too overkill... Even 128 40gb is already overkill considering we have WiFi everywhere home office etc biggrin.gif

Ya, that would be me smile.gif

I personally preferred the XR due to the better battery life. I was also fine with the screen not being an OLED as Apple makes one of the best LCDs in the market. The size was more pocket friendly too. But when my wife switched to try the XR, she told me she instantly noticed that the display isn't as nice as that of the XS Max (women have far sharper eyes for detail!) She also preferred the larger screen and didn't mind the battery life as she wasn't a heavy user. So we kept the XS Max and sold off the XR in the end. I would have preferred to keep the XR as it was a 128GB vs the 64GB XS Max but there's a possibility we both might upgrade as our phone contracts are due for renewal this year.
*
How much better battery is it on the XR compared to the XS max? In ratio? Considering one for my wife, of course the new one in October biggrin.gif

Very much decline for now until I see the real thing, probably a 5% chance of changing my mine hahahaha...

It’s indeed sad coz many were looking forward to it, especially contract due for renewal...but if the real thing is going to look as ugly as the leaks, then I’m totally giving it a pass this round...I’m still trying to convince myself to get it...but it’s tough lol

Yes, as my job requires a fair bit of moving about I need a phone that will last me through the day without having to charge it half way through. I hate carrying power banks too! If I manage my usage I'll easily get a day out of the XS Max too, but the XR is more than capable enough especially at that price difference!
Hahaha, I have a little bit of a seller's remorse now having already sold off my XR sad.gif
Like TOMEI-R would say, we need to have the best of both worlds!
*
Haha you almost had the remorse after selling your iPad Pro too tongue.gif

I got the Huawei Mate 20x recently for heavy media use, it’s a good phone for media but that’s about it, good battery at 5000mah, 7.2” amoled and all, but it’s still lacking in many areas compared to the Xs max...still feel the lag when browsing, scrolling and gaming..especially games that require real time graphics..even swiping up to close app feels lag..once and ifag...sigh laugh.gif

Nice! I was eyeing the Mate 20X at one point too - then Donald Trump happened! laugh.gif You should try the OP7 Pro - it's very, very close to iOS in terms of smoothness!
*
I needed the 7.2” display and 5000mah actually...coz it’s meant solely for media use...it’s actually not bad at all for a flagship, but can see the difference when being compared with the Xs max...hence the double price tag I guess biggrin.gif

Well rumors are we will get a foldable iPad soon laugh.gif

haha not going into foldable anytime soon for the next few years..cant really trust the tech yet...*poking at samsung foldable* biggrin.gif

basically when im out i just need another 2nd device for hard core media stuffs... cant afford to burn batt on my xs max... so my best bet is actually another device.... and there are not many above 7" with big battery box in the market.. so i picked the best i guess..

Haha the hype is gone bro, they are launching something backwards not many are looking forward to it...almost identical to XS from the front, and an uglier back...sounds like a downgrade to me...and Xs max specs are still overkill so there’s nothing much to look forward from the iphone 11...saving my bucks for next year’s iphone biggrin.gif at least much higher chance to get a new design..
