Hi guyz,

I'm currently on the note 9, but I'm keen on changing to the iphone 11. I know it's a significant downgrade. However, I'm looking for a simpler ecosystem.

I don't really use any functions of the note 9. The only reason why I got it was because of the battery life.

Any thoughts?

How is Note 9 to iPhone 11 a downgrade? If you’re referring to the screen, I suggest you really go and see the display set to see if you are okay or even like it.

How do we use the wide lens? When I cover the telephoto and ultra wide lens with my finger, the camera will show that it is cover with my finger but not the wide lens. Haha.

I've tried the display unit alr. Kenna poisoned abit. However, I think it's still far too early for people to chip in about iphone 11's battery life, right?

Nope it’s not early. The iPhone 11 Pro has a wonderful battery life as stated and reported. Without a doubt, it will last you one whole day or more for some light users.

Samsung battery life is crap seriously no matter how big their battery is. It’s a vicious cycle since the beginning of their smartphone era. I don’t see note 10 changing that.

How is it an upgrade? Care to elaborate?


You can ignore the RAM differences for iOS and Android, iOS handles RAM very differently from Android. What iOS has which is RAM compression, Android makes up with in chunks of RAM.



Android use Java and as a result, Android does garbage collection which requires more memory. The problem with garbage collection is that memory usage grows until it’s collected, so there might be more memory allocated than necessary. That’s bad for devices with restricted memory and no option to swap.

When the garbage collector runs, it scans the heap to find memory that’s no longer being used, and that’s an expensive process, that slows down the device until it has completed. (Which reason 1 why Android stutters)

iOS does not use Garbage Collection. It uses Automatic Reference Counting, as long as an object no longer has reference by anything else. It will be cleared to free RAM, add that along with iOS compression.

You get more updates on iOS devices compared to Samsung devices.

You get the best and fastest mobile CPU and GPU from Apple's A-series chip

iPhone gets you iOS, no hot garbage, telco bloated, no micromanging required. Don't need to kill my apps in the multi-tasking (Except for Development apps that I cause deadlocks on :p)

Batterylife.. Yesterday's graph with 40% left

Was at the F1 event last night.

After 15 hours, with low power mode turned on. Average usage, with browsing the web and using messaging apps.

Battery level after 15 hours? 50% left. On the iPhone 11 Pro Max.

On iPhone XS Max also have this issue so I think it might be an iOS issue. Been having the connectivity issue at around the same places everyday since iOS 12. The Bukit Panjang and Hillview area data always died on me. It’s so annoying. Was hoping it get fix in iOS 13 but didn’t. Shall wait for 13.1 n try.

Me and wife using xs max, both on Singtel. She has the issue while I do not have when we travel and play game tgt. She will kena dc while I running smoothly.

However, I have changed to pro max and realised I kena this issue as well.

Not sure wat's caused it.

But I staying bp area as well.

Anyone like me going from XS Max to 11 :s13:, was previously using XR and loved that to bits but got stolen so change to XS Max, am done with using big phones and the XR was the perfect size. I don't really mind the LCD when I was using the XR as it was really a good LCD screen.

Anyway collecting my 11 Green at lunch time later :D

You mean the new ultra wide angle lens right? You should see a 0.5x or 2x. Select the 0.5x to mobilise the ultra wide angle lens.

How do we use the wide lens? When I cover the telephoto and ultra wide lens with my finger, the camera will show that it is cover with my finger but not the wide lens. Haha.

If you need the beautiful OLED, the S pen and the customisable options, don’t change.

I suggest you go to the store and play around with it. Personally, the only ‘downgrade” I can relate to is the screen technology. I said technology and not quality because the display on the XR is really very good for an LCD technology.

The ram management, the regular ios update, great photo taken and user friendly are well known for most of the iPhone users.

some resist probably cuz of its reliance on iTunes, inability to customize UI or own ringtones.

i know it's still early days but my Pro Max is the first phone that from the time i went to bed and wake up, it's still at 100% even if it's new. all my previous phones at least got % drop.

My previous phone the XS MAX drop from 100% to 99% or 98% over night. I thought that was already amazing.

Same here. Went to sleep and wake up at the same percentage. Whatever inside that A13 is insane.

I was using X and XS Max and now using XS Max and 11 Pro Max, retired the X.

Honestly, OLED ftw.
