Some improvements up to the 29w, beyond that not much difference.

that link article dont have 18w comparing, should beyond 18w no diff because X/Xs cannot draw more than 18w

Tempting to get those e-sim so that I can use dual sim on my iPhone, but suddenly realised once I go with e-sim, to change phone, I’ll need phone with e-sim support.

Sometimes I’ll transfer my sim to my android phone to use as hotspot to preserve my iPhone battery 😸

oops, one problem sweat.gif i tempted to go change to esim as well

For a XS to last two days is pretty good. Lots of people complaining theirs can hardly last for a day, and battery health less than 100% even just after one or two months of ownership.
Ya, yours looks like very drastic difference. I think as a last resort before bringing it to a service centre you can try to reset and restore it first and see if it helps.

mine xs left 97% also.. since 28 Sept 2018

I kinda expected. Samsung or is it Android OS just can't get the battery right. The Note 9 was first Sammy with 4K battery. my Realme C with 42K battery beat it. Of course some will say due to screen difference but isn't AMOLED supposed to be power efficient or something like that ... some here keep singing that.

now lets see the M20 with 5K! that's all they do - increase RAM and battery size then say yes can last a whole day

PS. both Note 9 and S9 plus average use only WA, web, no gaming/ music/ navigation esp navi would've killed the battery faster

S10 has higher res smile.gif

this

i find it really sad that manufacturers keep prioritising screen resolution but actually what everyone wants is long battery life.

>introduce OLED panels, with screen tech that are able to turn off individual pixels for lower power consumption
>brings in high ass resolution that drains battery more :x

like, imagine having a XR level resolution with 4000mah battery capacity. we could actually have devices that can last days for once since the smartphone era. it doenst help that why do people think higher ppi is useful, its kinda pointless on a device where once you hold beyond 1 feet, theyre the same sweat.gif

another gripe with apple nowadays is how come they will not put bigger capacity batteries inside. physical size wise the batteries in androids with bigger cap are almost similar to the XS/Max/XR. so how come? hmm.gif

with how efficient A12 is, we could be seeing a huge selling point for Apple customers
*
just like Apple not putting higher RAM or ROM biggrin.gif everything smaller and just enough will be cost saving haha

Bought XS last sept 2018. Just found that battery health capacity is 93% and when i play mobile legends at max settings my phone a bit warm.

Is it my battery is dying? I thought A12 is overkill for that game?

QUOTE(shafiqm @ Apr 21 2019, 11:53 AM)
Mine bought on December. Now its shows 95%. Battery defect?

my xs also 95% d, i bought during Singapore Launch day Sept 2019... sweat.gif
but my X is 93% from 24 Nov 2017 - 25 Sept 2018 (~10 months), i think more or less same like my Xs if reaching 10 months

Its been a while i heard this "jailbreak" word. Lol. nostalgic

no point to jailbreak now.

For myself, I have used iPhones since 3GS.  The number of apps I bought (not free one) to date was less than 10. 😜

Same here. My most expensive app was Garmin MY/SG, back where there was still no Waze or Google Maps. USD$19.99 - of course, back then the conversion rate was 3.2x only laugh.gif Then I bought a couple of $0.99 Angry Bird games, hahaha
Yes, haha, maybe next week when there's a long weekend smile.gif

nowadays business model change, lots app tend to be free and if you want premium feature, just pay biggrin.gif or subscription base if you are happy after using those free, unlike 5 years + back, app need to pay first...

I’m afraid the opposite, if lesser china people buy, the production might be slower and come to us even later sweat.gif, but this year’s iphone should have shorter waiting list compared to the Xs max biggrin.gif

try read this https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/esim-d...im-q-a.2150226/
seems they have collect some info to build the Q&A for iPhone eSim laugh.gif just not too sure will it be similarly applicable for our Malaysia eSim provider

from that forum, notice https://www.three.com.hk/eSIMMall/chi/eSIMMall/index.jsp seems quite good as eSim for traveler, 10days pass HKD138 + not sure any hidden fees sweat.gif
