I paid full price for my iPhone without a subsidy from one of the telcos. Most Sporeans get their iPhones with a 2 year contract.
So they are not paying full price but subsidised price.

I find that if one has an iPhone you really need a contract because it can use a lot of data. I am using a prepay card & in 1 day it ca use $50 of data.

KNN why would people pay a few hundreds more for capacity upto 512gb KNN what they install and that is going to degrade the phone greatly if more capacity is used KNN means paying more to have slower phone KNN
Don’t disagree. Unless that extra memory’s really needed for all intents and purposes
-there are trade offs

Maybe time to buy Note 9 instead. Apple is really screwing with consumers.

Seriously, u need a fucking HDR screen on a small 6 inch screen? No 4k TV at home?

Guess u only use the phone for sms n make calls...a 90 buck dumb phone will serve u better

I use it for a lot more than that, Flipboard, Zwift, Telegram, Banking, Apple Maps, Siri, Youtube App, Dropbox, iVMS (security cam monitoring), Snapseed, CaptureOne and many more.

The iPhone SE can handle all of that without any issues so why on earth would I want to spend an extra thousand bucks for a phone that is no better except for the camera.

Since I never use my phone for photography anyway I don't need a fancy camera on my phone. I already own 5 fancy real cameras.

don’t forget you can’t stick to old phones for long as with each year 3gpp improves air interface features on the 4g lte protocol stack. before going to 5g you should get some pre-5g performance feature enhancements on cat 6.9 chipsets. for example, lte used to be on single and independent rf carriers but now can carrier aggregate and offer better forward error correction and interference mitigation algorithms. moreover, old frequencies are refarmed from 2g and 3g and repurposed for 4g, thus those old phones that run only 2g and 3g chipsets may be made obsolete and cannot run on all bands anymore. by then you’ll be left high and dry as they keep warning you about turning in your very old phones for new ones. for me i’m looking forward to 6.9 by 6.9 mimo tx and rx features which will offer me streaming video services while on the move. 4g lte will reach 64x64 mimo (although i prefer 69x69) while 5g will offer 256x256 mimo on the get go.
