Yeah, you won't get it with Samsung Note series. They are released with last year's Android, then they give you two additional upgrades for your OS which is just a crappy 1 year of updates (1 year delayed + 1 next year) OS updates. Sure they released a lot of phones each year but to say that they can't keep up is crap cause Note is just one phone. doh.gif

iPhone is all about simplicity! Therefore it is about opening files through your app. In that way you don't need to sift through files that you don't need to be looking at.

haha. good to wait.

so far i have gotten the iphone with radical design changed.

iphone 3GS -> 4/4s -> 6+ -> X -> 12 Pro Max? hahaha.  tongue.gif

You know what.

I guess I am kind of with you on Apple having the 12 next year. A one year extension from what used to be every 2 years for a radical design/material change is already too long.

Pushing this current iteration to 4 years is going to make into the same level like macbooks which may be fine on a computer but it is way too long for mobiles. It is like shooting themselves on the foot.

its been only 2... from X.
and have they ever skipped an S. so doubt it
my guess next 11s pro will be 5G.. and maybe a higher refresh rate oled or a 10bit native panel.
thats about it cause the move to 12 maybe a 3x16mp camera .. usb type C etc.
iphones dont radically change.

what they really need to fix asap is a proper dual sim.
*
E-sim will improves overtime. When it does, it will feels like having a proper dual sim.
Now the major hassle is to have every telco in the world e-sim ready.

Apple is definitely not moving backwards from the hybrid e-sim they have now.

Yes. Most importantly, anything u can deal with Apple directly. Apple is known to have the best customer service in the world. Even there is any defect, you can ask for one to one exchange at apple’s expenses including shipping cost.

Good to know you have a brand new unit.

You don't have to mock him. They are really powerless. However, they will do everything for you if it came as a directive from Apple support.

I did my homework, online support chat with Apple first, Apple ask to send to the nearest authorised reseller to send in to Apple store for evaluation.

When I walk in to Mac City and show the guy the manufacturing defect and he claim it’s cosmetic defect, he immediately shut me down saying cannot claim, 100% confirmed cannot claim for cosmetic issue/ defect confidently speaking English with US accent (so action and proud)

So I must walk in find the manager and mock his staff which he employed from US for incompetence and ignorance.

I standby the receipt from machines (warranty claim) and Apple (change of serial number) just in case the manager is also an arrogant and ignorant person.
Actually it’s the same colour, it’s the bright lighting at machines counter.

Bought at Maxis.

Haha loves the accent part and the way you retort back to their manager... Under this scenario I simply cannot wait to go back to that shop and show him the brand new replaced set šŸ˜‚

Yes true. Apple will go all out to milk and people are ready and waiting to be milked. This year’s iPhones with stove top selling well when prior to launch, based on leaks was branded ugly.
Just like the headphone jack, never thought Samsung would remove it.
*
The earliest leaks are closer to pixel 4 than to iphone 11 pro and max. And yes pixel 4 is ugly.

Why the difference?

Because they have more lenses and they didn't hide it.
They instead expounded on it.
Turning it into a statement.
Accentuating it with flair.

Not an afterthought like most Android phones which looks crap especially Samsung Note10.

Certainly worth to wait for iPhone 12. I got a feeling the sale of iPhone 12 will be as good as iPhone 6 Plus. Those who have not upgraded since iPhone 6 Plus will join in the queue to change phones next year.

This is also why I hold on to my iPhone X + iPhone 6 Plus still.
*
Since you waited and if next year is really iPhone 12 with a full design refreshed then you're probably one of the smartest iPhone buyer ever... getting it when it really matters.... for three consecutive times.

Folks, would like to check, is it normal for iPhones to loose battery health 4% after 3 months of usage?
My battery health indicate 96%.
Bought this 11 pro on end September 2019.

In the past of using past androids flagship, only after a year then only battery health lower than 98%.

Not really if we are looking on the basis of screen size. The original iPhone has one of the largest display before the rest of the world caught up with them.

It's super pain.

Manage to find out that it's the earpiece sticker that has turn red due to liquid. Sim tray sticker is perfectly white and fine.
Even the service center was dumbfound that the liquid entered to the earpiece which was supposed to withstand substantial amount of liquid on sweat through phone talking.

Anyways, I'm trying to escalate this to Apple directly to see if i could get them to honor this warranty for this matter. And I am even highly suspect that it's a LEMON UNIT ! doh.gif

Will update here as progress goes, hopefully it helps and shed some light for other 11 owners here.  sweat.gif

Done those research and no info found on this matter. The SIM tray possible water entry has less resistance compare to earpiece. So should a water by any chance enter, it would be the SIM tray more than its earpiece.

After spending 4 hours in few seperate calls with Apple was able to honor my warranty. It was also the first time the Senior Agent handles such case.

So this time, warranty is permissible. Lesson learned, avoid water at all cost!
Resellers follow the policy given, can't blame them. But since we can still deal with Apple and let the resellers work backend, it's alright. As long they do something. Similar to our cars on the road, most are resellers anyways. Haha.

True also. I am also happy that now we can do same day battery change for our iPhones and not over a few days. Other than that iPhones rarely have any problems that need servicing during the warranty and post warranty period.

It is good to hear that Apple covered it for you. I used to enjoy washing my phone over a running tap until I start noticing excessive moisture at the camera lens. It was a dangerous habit but lucky there isn't any damage. After that I stop doing it and believe that the water resistant thing is just good for the just-in-case moment like getting our clothes soak in the rain and not worrying about the phone.

it took 2 hours 18 minutes to fully backup my almost full 256GB iphone X via iTunes using USB-A to lightning cable on my MacBook. The USB 2.0 transfer speed on iPhone is really killing people.

I believe iPhone 11 Pro/Pro Max are using the same standard also?

Yes, unfortunately. They are either forcing you to pay for icloud or ask you to wait patiently.

Anyway, I hope iPhone 12 will use usb-c

Although the X and XS are good phones in their own right, I find the 11 Pro is when Apple finally got it right with this new phone design, with the better battery life, faster and more reliable Face ID and the night mode photos.  Can't wait to see the 12!

Buy the iphone12 pro max for pre order and then sell it when u don't like it after a few weeks. You won't lose any money when you do that. icon_idea.gif

So my IP 11 Pro from one moment to another decided to commit suicide. I was reading whatsapp when i saw a little glitch on the screen and dang phone shutdown and dead. 7 months old, pharmacy quality clean, never dropped, never put in water.

Brought it back to machines in midvalley, i purchased there, they are dodging the problem "can't do anything la". I was redirected to call apple care singapore, they told me to book an appointment with itworld. After 2 painful weeks they identified "unrepairable damage to logic board and cpu" and want to give me a refurbished phone. So i was like, now the serial number on the original box and the phone won't match, no extended warranty, how can you ensure the same sh*t will not happen again? The guy was clueless and shaking "sir we dont have an answer". I said i want a refund, they are dodging the problem, no one wants to be responsible. He told me to call another number and "we cant do anything sir".

Is this a joke?

Under your circumstances, a refurb phone should gives you a better peace of mind. Apple needs to do more diagnosis as to what may caused the logic board to have that damage. It is something like replacing a bloated battery that may take up to two weeks vs replacing an expiring battery which requires only 2-3 hours.

You don't have to worry about refurbished phones as the parts especially the exterior are all new, the batteries will be new as well. Nothing to worry about as long as your phone is registered under Apple system. Not like some refurbished unit from an ah beng shop. Best to keep your current receipt to show it is an apple certified refurbished if you want to sell it off in the future.
