QUOTE(westlife @ Oct 14 2020, 02:35 AM) i dun know. but confirmed there is no touch ID. this is 200% sure. haha. I watched the live show plus study the specs. So confirmed no touch id and no 120hz screen for pro max version? Lastly I am new to iphone, can my old ipad charger or any usb-c charger works with the converter? Previously using the ipad charger to charge iphone might fry the iphone. Not sure if got watt restriction for those fast charge android usb-c cable. |

QUOTE(vez @ Oct 14 2020, 02:50 AM) confirm no touch id, no 120hz Thumbs up. Thanks for your explanation. never have iPad charger charge iPhone can fry phone ok  for charging, people always mistakenly thought is the charger push power to device, actually during charging, it is the device that DRAWS the power in watt, if a phone can be fry during charging, it has to be something wrong with either charger or the device that constantly draw power from charger as simple as, even a charge head can output 45W max with 9V 5A, and if iPhone can draw max 18W @ 9V 2A, it will be 18W draw over during charging... case close, dont argue this, this is how electronic and electrical device draw power  So my normal huawei charger with usb-c can charge with no issue right? But sad no 120hz, if not almost perfect. 5nm chip draws much less power, so don't know why they don't include it if it is battery concern. QUOTE(Addword @ Oct 14 2020, 02:51 AM) It’s 2020 bro, no more battery frying is happening UNLESS u use non MFI certified charger. The eg happened when I was in europe many years ago. The joker's iphone (I think back in 2011) spoiled, cannot charge anymore. Another "expert" concluded because he used the ipad charger with a larger voltage to charge.This post has been edited by joeblow: Oct 14 2020, 03:04 AM |

QUOTE(attw @ Oct 14 2020, 09:21 AM) All my previous iPhones were sold with the accessories untouched anyways so it doesn't affect me as much as I have my own charger and cable. So yeah, I'm probably in the minority group that doesn't think this move from Apple is a bad move, if you consider the spike in prices of so-called 5G phones like the S20 Ultra, Note 20 Ultra, etc. So sacrificing a couple of accessories (probably worth RM200) while keeping the prices the same as last year (in fact, the base Pro models get double the storage for the same price) is acceptable for me. Flagship Android phones prices getting higher because they make profit via the hardware with excuses like Qualcomm 5G modem expensive etc. Apple is now getting more revenue from Services, hence they no longer sell iphone at such high margin. Makes sense for Apple to get more people into their eco system so that they earn from Services revenue. I thought I will get iphone and make the painful switch from Android to Apple. Apple software much more stable than Android and the support cycle much longer. But the 120Hz screen... I need faster refresh rate because I read a lot from phones... my eyes getting painful... 120Hz does help reading? |

QUOTE(soitsuagain @ Oct 14 2020, 04:36 PM) No 120Hz doesn't help in reading. It only supports smoother scrolling and app switching animation. Most essential for gaming. Ya it is the scrolling down of webpages to read, plus pictures etc. And when outside or abroad for watching youtube, netflixs etc. So I guess it matters. I guess I will wait for more reviews before making the painful switch from Android to Apple. I don't think 2021 Malaysia will have above 80% coverage for 5G especially for DIGI, I could be wrong.So if you are on a webpages and trying to read while scrolling with a much more fluid animation it might probably[I] reduces eye strain like trying to read as soon as the scrolling animation stops. But then that is under the assumption that your phone has not used up the RAM and CPU not high utilized. If you a reading a page and the page is not moving it is essentially useless. |

Hi all, is it true for iphone that's a mechanism inside iphone to cut off the battery charge after it is full?
ie overnight prolong charging of the battery will not deteriorate its health much compared to Android? |

It is called Optimized Battery Charging feature under IOS 13 and later. Not sure if Android has it.ie overnight prolong charging of the battery will not deteriorate its health much compared to Android? |
