thanks for the info bro, definitely going to buy US set. Much cheaper

How about Australia or Singapore set?

SG set yes. got some agreement with them.

Aussie set, I'm not sure about it

This thread needs to be pinned.

Questions like these had been asked like 10000 times in these very forum.

Good info btw.

Meaning worldwide warranty? Good for apple.
Guess we can buy imported set as long as its cheap and genuine set.

Good. Now can look for cheaper i7 for in singapore.

Can double confirm in this? At set international warranty.

Yeah. Those looking for X would be 4.2k (US) vs 5k plus in RM.

Beware of the sim lock issue, instead of the warranty issue.

We used to change phone not because of the faulty, but the new series phone in the market. However, the update of iOS will cause the sim lock if you were to purchase oversea set.

Think twice.

p/s: please correct me if I were wrong.

can further clarify the bold part? what causes sim lock? if thats true that no one will buy oversea set.

I managed to claimed ip7 SG and ip7+ HK at mat coty 1U

Only phone that used turbo sim

I thought all oversea set locked with their respective country sim?

Now unlocked already?

Regarding the bold statement, as far as i know, oversea set like US UK and so on are locked with their respective country simcard. Therefore, any reset/restore/update of phone might require the local simcard to unlock the phone.

For example, if you purchase UK set, you need UK simcard to unlock the phone once before you can insert Malaysia simcard.

i am not sure if oversea has started selling unlocked set which does not require any local simcard, if yes you may purchase since there is no software restriction.

Maybe if u buy from telco , coz since ip6 i bought all oversea set . US , HK etc . No problem

Meaning directly from apple retailers yeah?

Yup 😊

They have already been selling unlocked set since long ago.

As long as it is not carrier tied, the phone is free to use with any sim the purchaser wants.

Logically, if Apple were to lock the phone if you put a foreign sim, then you would hear ppl complaining about that in forums when they travel to oversea and uses their local sim card.
