Apple phones don't hang. They are also virus proof.

Apple is building up inventory for the X but I suspect still going to be difficult to get hold of one in the first 3 months post launching date.

There are reports saying apple is having difficulty in the face recognition to work and might delay the launch date. You may need to wait till next year to get your unit.

Nope. I think launch date will stay but demand is strong with difficulty in production process plus widespread shortages of electronic components mean hard to get hold of one initially.

Still got side buttons to press. :D

 

Been using phones without physical/capacitive home button since 2014, wireless charging, double tap to wake, clear black screen that is able to sense touch from a gloved finger since 2012.

 

Only Apple made it sounds like a revolution now. [laugh]

Abit tempted to try Pixel XL or LG V30.. but my concern is not being able to port my WhatsApp from iOS to Android.

 

Photos not so much of a worry cos I can upload to Google Photos.

 

But... My Apple Watch will become useless also haha

That's what they have been doing for years. They intro a "new" tech that has been around for a few years, slap a fancy name to it and make it sound like a big deal.

 

That's why people call them marketing genius....can make old thing seem new....

I think you can backup whatapp data (I set mine to auto) and download to your new phone be it android or iOS. Whatsapp links your mobile number and not your google or apple account.

Thanks for the tip bro but I don't think so leh.

 

iOS to iOS and Android to Android is ok, but not cross platform.

 

Telegram is the truly platform independent one as the messages are stored in their cloud and not local in the phone.

Ya. i believe RRP will be around 1.1k. Shops or online will probably sell around 950 SGD

 

FYI. Goni global put up a preorder on Qoo10 for 1.2k. 

 

Sorry for late reply. I found that usually for new gadgets, the online platforms don't give you competitive pricing.

 

For eg. if you check Note 8 now (which is not really that new anymore), some sellers on qoo10 is still selling local set around $1250 - $1300 vs far east which is going at $1,150.

Thanks. Din know that. Guess there is no backup for whatsapp data to google drive in Iphone.

 

Guess you have to bite the bullet if you are changing then.

Or buy software to do that.

 

My friend did it when she switched from Android to iOS.

last night I saw only $950 for Note 8 leh on Q10 ... maybe after coupon discount ...

 

dunno about the sound ... but according to reports, it has got the bestest camera on a phone right now. Maybe apple can seriously consider venturing into the photography world ... am sure they can come up with more interesting cameras.
