Personally I will go for 8+

Reasons why;

1. I don't own any iPhones yet
2. If i fancy a bezelless phone, will just get S8 or a V30
3. A11 bionic chip
4. Camera(s)

Not sure if I wanna purchase from SG or wait for MY to come

Either or, will wait for my casing to arrive (rhinoshield) on mid Oct

Is it advisable to buy from carousel? Never used that platform

I want the 256gb version though hehe

100+ SGD cheaper.. but why though?

Maybe i'll go for authorized dealer or apple for a peace of mind 

I see i see, thanks for your clarification

I might go to SG in this or next week, I can buy in-store right? In website it mentioned not available for pick-up

how about if I buy at apple store orchard road? can I claim at airport during departure? or way easier to just buy at the airport?

Buy from airport save the all the hassle lo. Just call them to check on the stock availability and tell them your departure date then they will be able to reserve for you.

From what I know, iStudio already have started walk-in purchase but not sure aiport store have stock or not.

SAME HERE.

Animoji is is useful when you are chit chatting with gal fren or your kids.
Otherwise, i don't think it is too useful.

But the OLED and size of the phone is justifiable. Just that too expensive for me whom is planning to buy 2 units

I'm using a casing while testing just now. Yup kinda warm at the back.

I concur. Unless you install a lot of games then the 64gb version is too small for you.
Last time I use iPhone 6S+ 64GB for almost a year with a lot of photos + jailbreak stuff + games + more than 100 apps + some videos recorded still have 15GB+ left.

Is this good battery life? First time using a plus phone.

Very impressed, this is at 10% with WiFi on all the time.

iPhone 8 burst http://www.orientaldaily.com.my/s/214382

warranty for HK set can claim here?

No longer. For local telcos also you now need to go to authorised Apple service centers for repair.

Does apple do repair? I remember if there is a lil problem they will just change 1 to 1.. Last few years back, my friend's iphone 6 home button is not "sensitive", then she got a new replacement.. And the warranty is almost due..

Hmm u are mentioning the flat home button but showing the pic for the glass back instead

For me the 2 things will be the upgraded camera (the Potrait Ligthning feature) and the wireless charging.
But still not enough to justify an upgrade from my current 7+

Will see if I need to break the bank for the X.
