i got the smart battery case last week from apple. to date i am so happy with the combined standby time. hope i can finally stop upgrading since:
1. Dual Sim able to swap physical sim 2. Big Screen at least in the iphone range 3. Batt Pack full day usage 4. 256gb big enough for my usage 5. Processing Speed and Camera good enough |

QUOTE(attw @ Mar 22 2019, 02:44 PM) Nice! What's your typical standby time now? average 7am to 10pm on working day - on weekends will be from 7am until 12 midnite or more .... |

QUOTE(cynicks @ Mar 25 2019, 08:12 PM) Just handed in my HK set Xs Max 64gb to Maccity. They tell me that I wont be getting a physical dual sim replacement. As it is controlled by MCMC. So, yeah, my warranty experience with T&L phone. what happened? mine is also TL 256gb ..Reason I'm ok with it, coz Maccity provided a loan phone, I doubt that T&L will loan a phone to me in this replacement period |

QUOTE(attw @ Apr 3 2019, 06:42 AM) Strange, I thought T&L sold HK models? Goes to show there is always an element of risk when buying parallel import stuffs. Anyway, glad your issue was resolved by Apple. I'd be sure to use your case as a reference in case anything goes wrong with both my XS Max and XR from T&L! great case study! mine is also HK set ... only think i noticed is that when one sim is on call, the other disconnects and vice versa between sim 1 and sim 2, which i gather from the web it is normal. No issues on my XR though, I just tried it. Are you already on iOS 12.2? |

QUOTE(rebus @ Jun 6 2019, 04:58 PM) hi people. off topic so apologies in advance. i think i agree - those with heavy fingers like me - always accidently 3D touch the phone - especially the flashlight function when the phone is locked ...The new iOS 13 apparently makes force touch/ 3D touch ineffective and Apple wants the long press feature on. This is from some of them who have the developer beta. Read in BGR. What do you all think? How many of you all here feel force touch is a good one and should be developed further? personally, I have started to like it a lot since last few months and wonder why they want to remove. |

my iphone X used to go down 2% per month .. by the time i sold it was almost 85% although i am a careful charger ....
with ipXs Max - after 7 months it dropped to 99% then within the same 1 week of drop to 99%, it went down to 98% until now ... don't bother much now - i just use it ... only thing about changing battery in future is will the service centre be good enough to seal back the water proofing qualities of the phone ... |

QUOTE(attw @ Jun 14 2019, 07:38 AM) I was gonna say yours was overkill... hahaha no choice bro - cos icloud only does 5GB, 50GB and 2TB - i wished there was 500GB or 1TB ......then I saw this! and 3 family members share the icloud backup with multiple devices incl my other device ... at least now backup / restore is just over the air .. |

QUOTE(raaj1818 @ Jun 24 2019, 06:54 PM) Hi guys! Just got my new iPhone XS yesterday. Switched from android and this could be one of the biggest decision I’ve made this year! One thing I’ve been cracking my head is that how do I transfer my Whatsapp conversations to my iPhone? I tried the backup method, and apparently iOS doesn’t support the encryption from google drive and only allows me to restore from iCloud. you may have to use a 3rd party app if you are from Android > Iphone ..Need some help here. I don’t mind paying a little if it just gives me the convenience to transfer them over from my android to iPhone. Quite a lot of prescious messages in that old phone. Please help! from IP > IP just use iclouds .. |
