I’m an Apple guy through and through, but 5k is pushing it. 7k is not a price I would pay, not even with telco subsidies

Yeah thanks! Just register for the launching.. I was considering Harvey Norman cos they had CIMB 24m installment plans.

As much as I want to believe the simple theory of cost benefit analysis on the Iphone by Apple, but it didnt materialise from the Iphone 6 till the current generation of Iphone 8 spanning a time period of 4 years. In fact, each model increased in pricing for every new model of Iphone Apple came out with.

Its actually close Rm6k for the 256 GB model already. (Rm5888). You and I both know better the price will definately be going up for next year's iteration of the Iphone like it did every single year. I would predict the Iphone IX to be around Rm6199 and the Plus size of the IX to be around Rm6799. Enthuasists will still be buying no doubt, but sales will definately dwindle. Like mentioned, Apple does no longer enjoy the advantages it had over the androids in the yesteryears.

i checked with them earlier and they mentioned that for installment, there'll be a 4% admin fee for 12 months, 6% for 18 and 24 months

duplicated...

If this is really the case....I myself being Apple user since the 3GS era, might just drop out of the Apple ecosystem one day and opt for Android...the current price for ip X is already at an unbelieveable price this time around...if it is gonna go much higher, I just cannot justify it...the Android counterpart is improving year on year and come Android 8 or 9, it would have ironed out most issues to be almost as good as IOS already.

Ya, maybe it’s time to do what people do with iPhones. Keep them for 4 years minimum till iOS updates are no longer available for that model, ha ha.

And you’re right. Once Android figures out the idle battery drain, I may not turn back.

Maybe we can stock up on NOS (new old stock) Iphone 7+ or Iphone 8+ ? Since we can most probably get a good deal out of these phones now.

Anroid phones running on vanilla android are pretty good in this depertment already ie Pixel and Oneplus. Please dont compare using Samsung TW bro.

Yeah, bought a Mi A1 during the 11.11 sale to test Vanilla Android (cheapest way to test, ha ha). Wish they put a 4000 mAh battery in that thing though, ha ha.

So you’ve preordered with Machines KLCC already?

Haha can the 7+ and 8+ really make profit? I have put my 7 128 and 7 + 256 up on sale...been reducing my price and yet no taker.

Also, I am seeing people selling the 8+ 256 at RM4k and no taker...thought the RRP was 4899 or something.

times are bad now, and with some of the previous 11/11 sales most of the users would have gotten their unit already... have you tried mudah?

No bro... Thought of buying from Techworld preorder. New dealer with limited ratings. Not sure if safe to proceed.

No, you got me wrong. I meant stock up on the old Iphone 7+ or 8+ for future personal use so that you need not buy the new iphone next year.

Its getting harder to dispose used Iphones because of the price. Rm3k for a out of warranty Iphone 7+ would be a bit high no? Yes I understand that we bought the phones at very high prices new. But the fact is, would you buy a used phone at around Rm3k yourself?

i will definitely need to think twice for buying a used phone at around rm3k..

Well, I did not really try real hard to sell it...just trying my luck here..if I can't sell it, just keep it for spare like TOMEI-R said

Lol, stock up for own use

Yeah, true, it is indeed harder to sell use iPhones now that the price is so high...then if I keep buying iPhones every year, I might end up with a lot of iPhones in my drawer...my 6 Plus 64gb is still in my drawer somewhere and so is my 3GS lol.

Been thinking long and hard whether to go for this iP X this time around....are you buying the X?

Is it compulsory to have credit card in order to sign up for those plans?

Already using bro... Sg set.

If you want to preorder online, then yes. If not you can walk in to their stores.

Hi, gotten a 256GB silver from Maxis.
I wanted the plan only, so letting go the unit as soon as on the 24th.

Yup, no guarantees if going to their exclusive partners. Best to deal with their direct stores to avoid these potential headache.

Do they accept debit card?
