That ruins the phone's battery/motherboard. That's what happened to my iPhone before.

Most cables in the mall are around 300-500 pesos but with no warranty. Meron pa nga mahal mga 700-1500 pero 1 year warranty lang. With an 18-month warranty, the Anker cable at 645 is good value.

I would recommend to still get a Samsung Adaptive Fast Charger. Doesn't have to be brand new. Daming secondhand in 0LX mga 500 lang.

An iPad charger doesn't have adaptive fast charging (9V 1.67A = 15W). It only has the old-school 5V 2.1A (10W) charging. So an orig Samsung adaptive fast charger will charge 1.5x faster than an iPad charger.

Asking for opinions. Is the iPhone 6s Plus a good deal for Php26k? It comes in 32 Gb. Or should i just get a later model iPhone or an S9?

Been meaning to replace my current phone.

The wife has a 6s+ and it is a bit too big even for me. I appreciate the big screen but having to carry and hold it feels like a chore. Too big for my pockets. If you're used to bigger phones that's ok I guess.

Still using my S7e and getting by just fine. Will probably think about upgrading to the S9 when the S10 comes out.

If you really want an iPhone, get an iPhone 7+ at the very least. Better camera and faster processor. I understand that some people are used to the iOS ecosystem and won't make the shift.

Personally I prefer Samsung though. I was also an iPhone user but Samsung's newer phones have been really good and my past 3 phones have all been Samsung. I got my S8 for 22k which I think is a much better phone than the iPhone 6S+.

My gripe about the iPhone 6S+ (and 7+ and 8+) is that it's such a bulky phone yet the screen is so small. It has a 5.5" screen which is even smaller than my S8's 5.8" screen. Yet it's so bulky and hard to use with one hand compared to the slim S8 and S9.

6S is almost 3 years old. It was launched in 2015.

Bro the jump from S8 to S9 isn't that noticeable. I have an S8 and my fiance has an S9. Everything is practically the same except the camera is slightly better (not "camera reimagined" better as the marketing suggests).

But the jump from S7E to S8 is pretty big. I also came from an S7E and spec wise it seems like theyre the same but in day to day usage I find that the S8 is so much snappier. The Oreo update is also a big plus which the S7E doesn't have. And if you think the S7E is nice to hold, you'll find the S8 to be even better.

Thanks for the info bro. Will consider the S8 if they're still available when the time comes to upgrade. Feels like it might be a while though.

Echo your sentiments re: the switch from Apple to Samsung. Never looked back since I switched. The only thing I'd like to see in the future is an aluminum back instead of glass.

Feels like the glass back just makes the phones unnecessarily heavy.

They need the glass back for wireless charging so I don't think they'll take that out anytime soon.

Even the all aluminum iPhones are now glass (iPhone 8 and X) because of wireless charging.

I had a wireless charging pad for the S5 before. The OEM one that had a metal plate mounted on a plastic cover. Over time the pad became sticky. Turned me off wireless charging hehe. Guess having the glass back solved that.

Yes bro my gear S2's charging pad also became sticky. Akala ko dumi, so kinutkot ko. Yun na pala yung matte coating niya!

So now my Gear S2's wireless charger looks like crap. Buti nalang it still works. [emoji23]

Yikes, even the Gear's charger gets sticky too? Bad trip hehe. Good thing the watch is water resistant. Don't know how I'd clean the residue if it weren't.
