QUOTE(Carlo J @ Nov 10 2020, 04:40 PM) Yeah, already using it. Love the sharper display. Yeah, but it's good since Celcom's coverage is one the better ones. I signed contract with them for iPhone 5 bro, it had the strangest behaviour in my housing area. The signal will show two or three bars, but I won't receive any calls. Then, later I will get SMS from Celcom saying I have 7 or 8 missed calls - without hearing the phone ring  I called their CS to explain, and the best they can tell me is my house is in a blindspot in their signal coverage. I asked what was the solution, they said none. Hence, that ended my relationship with them, hahaha...

But I end up using Celcom because my residential area and workplace have good coverage. QUOTE(dennis008 @ Nov 10 2020, 04:54 PM) how u find the battery life?? good enough for you? So far, it's fine for me, better than my XS.

I think it's really down to personal reference and needs. But I think if you're not a rich fag and want to spend money wisely, I think buying the iPhone with premium telco package is a bad choice. For example, assuming you're using RM40 plan now, because of the iPhone package, you need to pay RM60 monthly just for the data plan(not including the phone price even tho it's cheaper compared to retail price). At the end you're still paying more overall.
If you don't have the ~Rm3500 cash, you can buy it via 0% interest instalment for 24 months, and use your other cash to buy stock or self improvement. When you get dividend, even tho it's very little, at long term (24 months), you still get your phone cheaper overall, and you can have some cash every month to do other investments: buy books, self investment, online courses, saving fund, insurance, mutual fund, stock etc.

I bought the phone outright without plan.
