It’s still cheaper with a telco plan. The lowest commitment is DiGi’s 78 plan, and you get the iPhone 8 Plus 64GB for RM3005 + GST = RM 3,185.30. Of course there’s an advance payment but that gets credited back to your account. Mind asking which telco are you with now, and on what plan?

Yes, the upfront payment gets credited back to your account over the contract period, i.e. 24 months

You have to be very clear on what your objectives are when you survey telcos - cheapest plans? Cheapest device price? Value for money? Best network performance based on where you work, live and play? For me, it’s the last one, and I’ve tried DiGi, Celcom and even U, but I end up coming back to maxis every time coz it works for me. But that’s just me, other telcos may have the best coverage for you so you need to choose wisely. Maxis is by far the most expensive though, no denying that.

What issues? Mine is working fine. Have you checked with your company IT person?

Maybe the stainless steel frame of the X provides more protection from side impact drops.

So, after weighing the pros and cons, what have you decided, bro? iPhone 8 Plus or X?

Oh Ok. Hopefully the wait won’t be too long.

Possibly because they wanna release some vouchers tomorrow.

Used to it di. Apple has trained us for three years since 6 Plus, 6S Plus and 7 Plus

Apple is not kind, hahahaha. Anyways, I expect the retailers to offer a promo of some sort for 8 and 8 Plus come Feb or Mar next year to boost up sales, but a price reduction is unlikely, unless the MYR hits 3.7-3.8, which also is unlikely to be so soon.

Kan? Same here, hahaha.

But then again maybe waiting for the next one might be better. Oh well, we’ll see

3500, if we’re lucky. Lazada selling a new one for 3,799. I bought mine below 3k coz I signed with maxis so I’m OK to sell at 3k but I won’t, ha ha... I’ll pass it to my wife and sell her 7 Plus if I decide to go for the X but I’m still 50-50 for now.

Ya, it's not viable to sell off the 8 Plus now, so even if I do get the X, I'll pass it down to my wife.

Anyways, just went to play with the phone at Machines. It does feel really small, after years of being used to big phones, ha ha ha.

Did you put your name down for an 8 Plus or an X?

Ya, exactly that. Feels more fully in the hand

Nice comparison there. So which is your current favorite?

Alrighty. I'm also using the 8 Plus, so you're most welcome to join me

You mean like for one-handed usage?

Oh, not sure then. Only know about the one-handed operation for the keyboard which moves it to the left or right side.

Ok la, still got some sign of life. 7 Plus and 6S Plus threads will go first, ha ha...

Sold by Lazada should be OK.

Yes. If not, they have a return policy which you could take advantage of.
