not necessary. u can see that there are a lot of ppl would choose to go for the lowest storage option no matter for iphone, ipad or macbook just to save the few hundred bucks not to mention now the price is more than rm1k difference.

iphone vs iphone plus there is already a GAP. Now there is one more iphone x.

Iphone 8 - sgd1148 (RM3570)
Iphone 8 - sgd1308 (RM4068)
iphone x - sgd1648 (RM5125)

iphone 8 plus vs x - RM1057 price in difference. To a lot the price GAP is very significant.

Also, some might pick the lower storage options and make up for with iCloud subscriptions. For about RM150 a year (RM11.90/month), you get 200gb storage. Or for RM46.80 a year, 50Gb. May not justify paying extra hundreds more for on board storage.

That won't work would it? The phone will determine the charging rate no matter what the supplied power is.

Hmm the official prices are crazy af.

But does anyone remember what happened with the iPhone 7 last year? Or earlier this year. There was a massive price cut some time after it was released.

No Android phones worth more than RM3K imo  whistling.gif  whistling.gif  whistling.gif

I find that android is generally not worth paying above 3k for since the next gen is usually packed with a lot of new stuff that the old one just looks paltry in comparison.

Because lots idiot take and not pay

The requirements for zerolution is quite strict right? You'd have to have a good payment track record before being eligible.

I wonder if the same thing is happening to Celcom.

My guess as to why these plans are rolled out later is bcos the margins and risk on these plans are higher and they'd not do it unless the sales thru the regular channels are poor.

Why not buy with cc and convert into installment?

Bcos Zerolution/NewPhone comes with Device protection!

As I understand it, Celcom's EasyPhone also comes with Device protection but the contract is 2 years and no change of device or plans is allowed. Bummer.

Zero's device protection not free wooh, and personally I'd take on the apple care any day.

Yup, it's like RM30-50/month.

Apple care is not available for the iPhone for Malaysia. It only comes with the limited warranty.

Hey guys! Kindly let us know if there's any 1 year instalment plan via Telco - tie up with contract.

The gold color is a bit off. Seems copper-y. And the color of the gold edges and the cream back seems weird too.

Hi need all your opinion here please

I am using iPhone 6+ for the last 2 years. Its is 16GB and i am having a hard time using it. *u know why*

Now i think i will upgrade it. Does iphone 8+ 64GB is good enough (the storage) or should i go with iPhone 7+ 128GB??

64gb should be enough. Currently at 34gb with about 10gb in music and videos. 7-8gb for system and the rest for a myriad of apps. Not including photos or video taken by the phone yet.

with the glass back, are you guys using any back screen cover?  Saw one video saying the new iphone 8 picks up micro scratches very easily.  Any brand of screen protector that has back screen cover for Iphone 8?
*
How about just don’t remove the plastic protector that came with the phone?

Doesn't the back plastic goes all the way connected with the front plastic?  Removing the front plastic will remove the back plastic as well right?

Clear coating is just too expensive and I dont think it's worth the money.
*
Yup the sheet of plastics covers the entire phone in one single sheet.
I just cut the front portion off and kept the back one as it is.

I’ll keep this until the plastic is really worn before I get a back cover.

- casual user - social media, casual photos and videos, don’t need to have all data on phone all the time : 64gb + iCloud storage
