Anyways, what is the meaning of a sim free set?
According to the seller, when Apple Malaysia launches the 5C officially here, I can send it to Apple Malaysia for warranty.
Is that true?

According to the seller, when Apple Malaysia launches the 5C officially here, I can send it to Apple Malaysia for warranty. Obviously if you purchase from Apple Malaysia you can send it back to Apple Malaysia. Where else would you send it to? Is that true? |

QUOTE(C63 AMG @ Oct 9 2013, 11:39 AM) I am not buying from Apple Malaysia but from a seller on LYN and it's a sim free set.Obviously it can't be an Apple Malaysia set because it has not even launched officially in Malaysia. So my sim free set has to be an overseas set but seller claims it can be sent to Apple Malaysia for warranty when it launches officially. Is that true? |

QUOTE(smokymcpot @ Oct 9 2013, 12:06 PM) Easy. If he claims it's possible, ask him to do it for you.Or if he says that's your job, ask him what happens if Apple Malaysia rejects your warranty claim. Will he be liable/not? Plus make sure he doesn't run away for the next 12 months following your purchase of an iDevice from him (this part would be a challenge) |

QUOTE(C63 AMG @ Oct 9 2013, 09:25 AM) Did you know that when you buy the 5C, certain apps made by Apple is given FREE? The bad news is I already purchased those free apps for my previous iPhone 5.Eg. iPhoto, Pages, etc. I highly recommended on the official casing with premium feels and physical outlook. That conclusion is derived based in comparison with my previous China made casing with similar shape and pattern which was a big failure in terms of the physical appearance and material quality. |

Would like to see you post clearer pictures of your casing if possible I highly recommended on the official casing with premium feels and physical outlook. That conclusion is derived based in comparison with my previous China made casing with similar shape and pattern which was a big failure in terms of the physical appearance and material quality. Am really considering purchasing it. But will have to see it in person at stores before making the ultimate decision. |

Just wondering, when the phone officially launches, will the RSP be more expensive than the sim free sets you can get on LYN currently for 1899.

I reckon the highest it'll go will be 1999. Anything more than that and people would rather go for the 5S which I reckon will be between 2199 and 2299.Regardless of the price, Malaysian prices are still amongst the cheapest in the entire world. I frickin got my 5C in China for 2399 |

Alright thanks dude! Planning to get mine next week Regardless of the price, Malaysian prices are still amongst the cheapest in the entire world. I frickin got my 5C in China for 2399 Enough of Android But I noticed this thread is quite dead compared to the 5S. Do you think the 5C would be like other Androids in terms of second hand pricing? Apple products are known to hold their value quite well. This post has been edited by smokymcpot: Oct 10 2013, 12:56 PM |
