Yeap, i bought 2 for both my X, hopefully i can get in Singapore on Friday

I am afraid the plastic back mat scratch the glass if there is a sand in between. So i go for bumper.

probably he is talking about the model number eg A1901?

in this case 7+ HK model is different from MY and SG model number
HK A1661
MY SG A1784

so japan iphone x can only claim in japan? model A1902

I think the chances are higher for scratch if there is no plastic at the back to protect the glass though. Bumper only protects the side and corners, the lip part only protects against flat surfaces but if you drop in on the road, or elsewhere with small stones, sand, etc. the bumper is useless. Replacing the back glass is a lot more expensive than replacing the front screen/glass.

No bro.. Im just giving of an example of the model number which I made up myself.

then what happen to those who said u can claim SG set in MY...

personal experience, i bought 2 units of iphone 7+ from HK, 1 of it faulty camera... i did brought to machines for a claim, they replied me same email 1 hour after i passed to them, i directly called up apple, logged a support case with the ticket #, i passed the ticket # to machines, and they processed the claim without any issues

i did clarify with apple support, warranty is based on region according to them, msia sg hk aussie, all can claim cos same region...

The claim Sg set is true. Because I claimed one Iphone 6 before. But like I mentioned, it is based on Good will basis. That is what Mac City staff told me.

The model code is just to show how to check which country the phone originated from.

Haha. Typical claim warranty from machines case. Did they even accused u mod the phone hence cannot claim? They will do
Anything in their power to prevent u from claiming unless Apple overwrites their “diagnostic”. They are “resellers”, hence they expertise in selling, not servicing.
Welcome to the club man. Let’s continue to hope official Apple store opens in Malaysia.

I think thats ppl personal experience, not necessary to share to 3rd parties who dont have direct/interest involvement.
It's up to you to trust or not to trust, judge at own risk

I don't know how it was during iPhone 6. but definitely warranty for iPhone SG is covered by our local authorised service center for iPhone 7 and 7 Plus.

even if u call apple careline, and tell them can u claim warranty for set purchased from US (for eg.) they only ask for model code A1778 to check if it's supported for local warranty claims.

Correct. When I claimed the Sg set Iphone 6 with Mac City, the staff even told me that my claim will be processed by their Apple Store SG as my set is from them. So they will just help me ship the phone back to them.

I would not suggest anyone take the risk of buying an overseas set unless it is absolutely necessary. Safest would be to buy Malaysian sets as warranty could be easily sorted out. Resale value of used My units also will fetch better prices. Personally the furthest I would go for would be only Sg sets.

U Mobile announced their preorder date.

waiting telco price
instead of buying full price from apple

i think the policy changes. they don't ask for the lengthy model number that shows MY/A like last time.. Now all they asked is for the short model number to verify if we can send that specific iPhone here.

U can try call apple careline now @ 1800803638

i am not obliged to even reply you, with such a way you are asking for it learn some basic courtesy first

my guess all telco will have pre order date on 17/11

Hahahaha, my leave has been approved by manager.

Manager just ask me : "What is pursue my dream"

Then I replied: Buy iPhone is my dream"

then she gave me 3 "likes" then approved

This is my 1st time in my 10th iPhone purchased since 2007 other than iPhone 2G I got overseas unit. I got 2 units from SG and yes I did my research well before doing so as I also worry about warranty.

I did a chat with Apple guys online and had a copy email of our chat that set from HK, SG, US can be claimed in our local service center so long it is not void warranty like open unit, refurbished unit, this is same as the unit we purchased in Malaysia. What I remember many years back this may not be possible, overseas unit before 6 may not be entertained. But I did also call Apple twice that if I can claim overseas unit, the answer is YES so long the country allows it since Apple never stop ppl from claiming international warranty but just a bureaucracy thing.

Since Malaysia going to have iPhone X on 24th, of course getting Malaysia set will always be better choice.

Every time I sell my iPhone, I am asked if it is local set.

For you all want to have it on 1st day, do some research how to be faster than the rest to get it ordered online at midnight.

You are the one 1st queue at Digi? I thought Digi has 2 years contract, how you able to re-contract every year?

Btw, there is another Digi Center in Penang not sure they open midnight sales.
