haha didn’t expect an impromptu and impulsive sharing made me sounded like dissing Apple.
Perhaps I was a little nostalgic going through w Apple revolutionizing pc, laptops, music(!), connectivity (phone) and now photography,
might have be a bit gullible to the attention catching news of the recent ip12. And maybe the latest gadgets doesn’t suit my lifestyle as in airpods, watches or airpay. I do enjoy very much how Apple made digital writing via ipad a reality though.
Thought it might be safe to just rant abit among fellow fans rather than the kopitiam side haha
Anyways that’s how forum works, everyone can speak up.
yup, you are right. But i do rmb one of the iphone 6? 7? the sides are more easily scratched due to the coating. No big deal.
yup, you are right but not so much about justifying for myself. Just thought it could be a possibility due to huge expectations nearly the whole world on launching the latest product. Hopefully i’m wrong on the fine tuning but it’s not a huge matter just wanting to add in the many conspiracy theories here, but at this moment I still “defend” Apple among my social circles
that Apple still provide the best value for tech as it outlasts generally almost Windows (laptop) or Android phones as materials, quality and software is well designed
and not just chasing after treads or specs alone. Design does mean something to Apple imho, similar to your point about philosophy. I’m sure all the constant software updates will sort things out.
Yeah I think I responded to your “tell me” above, my mind wasn’t on phone alone, but I do agree on the pinnacle of tech especially phones, anything else will be like calling using fingers only ha!
But overall hope my random sharing didn’t cause any dissatisfaction! Sorry for the long replies. Not dissing Apple - konpirm! :thumbsup: Perhaps the tipping point was shocking on the more than 50% battery for the gaming part though I still can’t understand how people play games on phones

too small screen. Shall learn to be more steady like many forumers here.
Mate, like you mentioned, its a forum.
But I don’t agree on the ‘defending’ statement - don’t think that because you’re in an Apple forum means you can’t share your POV - of course it has to come with personal experience or with substance, not blatantly commenting or ‘dissing’ without fact.
And no, we’re not all pro-Apple. I personally dissed Apple for not including the charging duckhead and their excuse of saving the environment is just a coverup for cost cutting measures. Imagine if they can reduce the sizes of packaging, means they can fit more into one pallet load when shipping thus saving tons of monies from there.
Just one of the scenarios la.
Then again, I’d watch more reviews and probably wait for a few owners here to share their experiences - then you can make your conclusion. Cheers!
