Our vision has always been to create an iPhone that is entirely screen. One so immersive the device itself disappears into the experience. And so intelligent it can respond to a tap, your voice, and even a glance. With iPhone X, that vision is now a reality. Say hello to the future.

Welcome to the official iPhone X thread V2.
Say hello to the future.

Iphone X tops display list, winning over Galaxy Note 8 - Android Authority -

Its official, even Android Authority admits Iphone X's display tops over the galaxy Note 8. Display Mate awards the title to Iphone X as having the best display for a smartphone, over riding its award to the Note 8 two months ago.

I think the subsidies are pretty standard - starting off at about RM1,000 - RM1,200 for the lowest plan and capping off t about RM1,600 to RM1,800 for the highest plan.

DiGi had massive stock shortages for the 8 Plus, I noticed some complaints on FB. Hopefully they'll sort out the stock situation for the iPhone X.

Even so, I think it's hard to notice with the naked eye on the differences of the display between the Note 8 and the X for those of us with untrained eyes. But having come from the 7 Plus to the 8 Plus' True Tone display, I definitely think the True Tone ones are closer to real life.

It actually depends on how much internet quota suits your usage. Any of the plan would be worth as Digi has subsidies the device price from RRP.

No more di.

Actually, if you buy it on a normal contract, it's far cheaper. Also, maxis allows you to do up to 24 months EPP with 0% interest and no surcharge with certain credit cards.

If we purchase with 24 months EPP with 0%, do they bound into contract with Maxis?
For example 6k for iphone, 6k/24 = 250 per month.. Do we need to subscribe for Maxis line?

Then it will be more expensive, we are paying for RPP and do EPP to convert 24 months + line contract per month. If we are buying with Digi, they subsidies a lil of RPP amount, then we will pay for device price, the remaining 24 months = digi line contract price only.

Yea you are right. I have been with Digi for couple of years. But under my daddy name. Gonna get 1 under my own name. Then few years later, i can purchase again with Digi without upfront payment.. Btw which phone are you using? I saw you are always in iphone thread and also Samsung Galaxy Note 8. As recently im doing comparison with Note 8 vs iPhone X, i have been active in these 2 threads and your name always appear smile.gif

Wonder whens the plan going to come out, not sure if i wanna change plan or buy directly from apple..
Using plan rm80digi atm
If I would go digi plan, i go for 108 one.. but dunno worth or not..
*
I don't think you have much time to think when the plan is out and when u need to snatch with some pre-orders guys, suggest you study on iPhone 8+ plan on both 78 & 108, something quick similar should be on X. Remember what you see on 1st page doesn't include plan and phone GST, the 6% only shows on the last page of the payment.

Here again my calculation which I did quite sometimes ago..

iPhone X 64GB:

RM3884 with RM128/mo
RM3674 with RM158/mo
RM3464with RM188/mo

iPhone X 256GB:

RM4439 with RM128/mo
RM4199 with RM158/mo
RM3959with RM188/mo

hopefully the real one are not more expensive than these!

Its a much smaller phone compared to the 7+. Most important, the bezels are way way way smaller than the ones on the 7+ which makes the phone look sleek and modern like all flagships should look like. It would definately fit a girl's smaller palms unlike the 7+ which is wide. Even the Note 8 which is a bit taller is easier to hold and grip compared to the 7+ because it is not so "wide". You will immediately feel the lack of the home button during initial use but you will be able to live without it after a day or two usage. The top panel 'cut off' is a bit 'weird' but you will get used to having a section of your app/game missing or blackened out.

All in all, it is a must buy for all Apple fans like yourself.

Oh yeah, the 7+ looks like a slab of brick compared to the X. sweat.gif

Aesthetic wise, its a damn worthy upgrade as per my review above. It really makes the 7/7+ looks dated.

Performance wise, camera, functionalities are better but then again, you will not notice much differences if you are upgrading from a 7+

uh huh.. do u think i'm a apple fans? shocking.gif

thanks for your reviews.. at least i have a rough idea on this phone.. actually i'm quite bothered by the top panel "cut off".. perhaps i'm ocd.. i feel one kind. all the while iphone got a slightly gap between top and the screen and where one can slide so i wonder wouldn't it be affected if the top panel like this? unless one slide from the side.. or perhaps from X onwards, there are no slide from top already? btw, is screen totally till the end of the bezel without certain gap? hmm.gif

You are annyoseo Samsung fan... or rather gadget fan like all of us here la. tongue.gif

Of course there would be a slight gap between the bezels. For the swipe features, you still can swipe from bottom or center or even top depending on what feature you need. For example, to see notifications you just need to swipe from the top like you do on your current iphone. To open Control Center, you need to swipe down from the upper-right corner of the screen. There is a bit of changes but you will get the hang of it after a day or two.

Yes default is a compressed format. For compatibility you can change it back to the previous format.

It’s under your Camera settings.

Thanks for the news  rclxms.gif

Should I cancel my SG set that will only delivery within 25 Nov to 2 Dec and pre-order with Maxis?
The worry I have is that Maxis is gonna have very limited stock and I can't even get it in this year....dilemma  rclxub.gif  .

I’d suggest you to hold on first, delivery times might improve especially when we know that there are still stocks available.

really up to you whether u prefer sg or my set

Thanks for the suggestion bro. I am thinking to get Maxis set because I will sign up with their Maxis One 128 Plan anyway (long time user of this plan). So, thought if i can get a cheaper phone with their subsidy, since we dont get much subsidy on petrol anymore.... sweat.gif

Let see if I can get one during their pre-order. If can get, I will go and cancel my SG set....hehehe... biggrin.gif

Get a GST claim to compensate the price different, make sure you don't buy online at Apple Store 1st if you intend to claim GST. From my CC chargers, it cost me >RM6k for 256GB. So MYS cheaper in this case

Only Telcos have preorders. We dont have a physical Apple Store over here. So even if apple did come up with a preroder, where do we collect?

I paid 3.1k to upgrade from 7+, never happy than what I have now among 10 iPhones I own in 10 years time. Face ID, camera, OLED, gesture control and wireless charging are my major like for this upgrade from 7+
*
Right. Same here I've also been using almost all the iterations of iphones there are and have been upgrading every year.
But this time the choice is rather tough as it is a whopping >5k for the X.
The 7+ is serving me well but of course, who is not tempted with the X with all that bells and whistles. That gorgeous bezelless 5.8" screen.

Would probably get one when I make a trip to HK next month.brows.gif

Its a much smaller phone compared to the 7+. Most important, the bezels are way way way smaller than the ones on the 7+ which makes the phone look sleek and modern like all flagships should look like. It would definately fit a girl's smaller palms unlike the 7+ which is wide. Even the Note 8 which is a bit taller is easier to hold and grip compared to the 7+ because it is not so "wide". You will immediately feel the lack of the home button during initial use but you will be able to live without it after a day or two usage. The top panel 'cut off' is a bit 'weird' but you will get used to having a section of your app/game missing or blackened out.

All in all, it is a must buy for all Apple fans like yourself.

Oh yeah, the 7+ looks like a slab of brick compared to the X.  sweat.gif

Well I've decided not to get either the MY or SG set.
But since the HK one is about RM 500 cheaper (and I happen to visit there next month) I will definitely go for it. Depends on luck if there will be stock available then.

It has always been a known fact among Iphone owners that there is NO INTERNATIONAL WARRANTY on iphones. I have made a claim with a SG unit of Iphone 6 with Mac City before and the staff at Mac City told me that they are doing this on a good will basis only and also provided my unit was a Singapore Appstore unit. If it was a Sg Telco unit, they wouldnt be able to help me.
If you check your Model code, There is a MY for Malaysia, SG For Singapore and HK for Hong Kong and so on and so forth at the end of your model number. For example MH4D2MY/A

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.

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.

If it was a Sg Telco unit, they wouldnt be able to help me.
If you check your Model code, There is a MY for Malaysia, SG For Singapore and HK for Hong Kong and so on and so forth at the end of your model number. For example MH4D2MY/A

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. nod.gif Personally the furthest I would go for would be only Sg sets.

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

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.

for confirmation, i just called apple saying i bought iPhone 8 from apple store SG and now got problem. can i sent it at malaysia? she asked for imei number for call report purposes before asking my model no (the short one). then she said no problem i can send here in MY.

then i just asked what's the actual policy, she said actually now apple has international warranty for country that has apple store. for country like malaysia, the authorised service center will send the phones to SG if let say the parts is not available in malaysia. However, normally for SG set shouldnt be a problem because SG and MY always share the same parts.


i think if the warranty is denied, the culprit might be machines or these 3rd party authorised sc. we should always consult apple and ask them to step in if the sc refuse the warranty claims.

Exactly. We've been made to think that Apple doesn't provide International Warranty when in actual fact, its just the third party service providers (Machines, Mac City, etc) who are refusing to entertain us. I could easily claim warranty for my iPhone bought in Malaysia in foreign countries (i.e. US, UK, SG). It's just in Malaysia where the problem arises due to the unavailability of an official physical Apple Store.

Hope that the dissatisfaction over these 3rd parties AD growth stronger and trigger Apple decide to take back their authorization. Then they will open a Apple Store in Malaysia.

But I think that the chances of Apple Store in Malaysia is nearly impossible, as all the Apple Store have 1 thing in common (my 2 cents of thought), which i refuse to share & may trigger some sensitive arguement

true, but can be the 3rd party authorized SC has different policies than apple. normally they have different level of partnership in which some levels dont have to follow 100% the policies set by the principle. i dunno. but as long as people know they can contact apple careline in case of any issue, perhaps these 3rd party SC can assist sending the overseas set to SG.

last time i bought imac from apple my online store, they still need to send it to SG when i sent it for broken hinge. i guess our local SC has very limited parts thus they 'prefer' to reject warranty claim at the first request.

The X's front facing camera has "TrueDepth" which includes an infrared camera, sensors and light projectors capable of perceiving depth.

-Wide lens is f/1.8 on both, with optical image stabilization (OIS)

-Telephoto lens is slightly faster on the X (f/2.4 vs. f/2.8)

-Telephoto lens has OIS on the X only

In short, meaning that you can start putting up your 8 + for sale now. whistling.gif laugh.gif

Yeap true. They can accept at their own discretion since they are third party. Still unfair though. It's made most Malaysians have the misconception that Apple doesn't provide International Warranty and that a "Malaysian model" is worth more than any other original Apple product from a different country. Oh well...

Exactly. We've been made to think that Apple doesn't provide International Warranty when in actual fact, its just the third party service providers (Machines, Mac City, etc) who are refusing to entertain us. I could easily claim warranty for my iPhone bought in Malaysia in foreign countries (i.e. US, UK, SG). It's just in Malaysia where the problem arises due to the unavailability of an official physical Apple Store.

When is Apple going to have a store here. Blardy Machines, Mac City are growing like mushrooms and I am sick and tired of seeing them. However, there is one place in Malaysia and a high profile mall that has yet to open its doors which is non other than the KL Echo City Mall.

Apple is SP Setia's largest office tenant in their Bettersea project in London. I hope the power in SP Setia can convince them to finally open their first Malaysia Apple Store. So damn fedup depending on SG our smaller neighbor when our markets here are bigger.

Like I said on my theory before, our market is determined by Singapore side for the past few years. And that's the reason why we have a price similar to Sing dollar compared to previous where we are more likely to follow USD pricing. Thus, we can only get the apple store if Singapore said so. Or else, we will stick with those "premium reseller"

And please don't blame GST.

Why would SP Setia be interested in asking Apple to open their stores here? hmm.gif Btw, how many billion dollars is SP Setia worth? laugh.gif
Yes, Sgp is a smaller country with lesser natural resources but they are managing their economy and country so well that Sgd is $1 = Rm3.12. Their purchasing power is much stronger and hence major brands will prefer to be selling their products there. Common sense bro!

Yes, they always have to order from Singapore. And Singapore's side logistic isn't terribly efficient either. It takes about 3-4 days to reach here and one day for them to repair. So it is always about 1 week.

The Summary is making me think twice about getting the X though: -

Make no mistake, the iPhone X is an excellent iPhone. It has every technology breakthrough available right now and then some. It offers an enjoyable experience and the best specs on an iPhone yet. But it's an imbalanced experience, one that’s not yet found the equilibrium between embracing the new and jettisoning the old. We guess, in due time we will get used to its UI quirks and content letterboxing but we'd rather not be beta testers - not at this price point anyway. As far as iPhones go, the iPhone 8 family delivers better value at a lower price point - not to mention a better choice of screen sizes.

Just got my iX yesterday! Had my friend collected and applied screen protector from Apple Store SG using the Belkin machine. I purchased the Apple Leather case too, awesome so far!

I previously bought a Caudabe Lucid Clear case, it is beautiful but I don't quite like the "sticky" texture behind.

You have got that right. Now you have to look into your phone and wait for it to unlock which actually takes abit of time to unlock. Fingerprint is way faster and more convinient because you have already unlock when you hold your phone and at the same time place your thumb on the thumbprint sensor.

hi, asking some question
i'm currently using 6plus 64GB and phone memory still remain 20Gb++
so if i buy iphone X 64gb, should be good enough for me, right?

Looking at it should be enough but is it futureproof enough is another question.

You have got that right. Now you have to look into your phone and wait for it to unlock which actually takes abit of time to unlock. Fingerprint is way faster and more convinient because you have already unlock when you hold your phone and at the same time place your thumb on the thumbprint sensor. I hope Apple gets this right during the next update.

I agree that Touch ID could be quicker. I can press the home button while I am pulling out the phone from my pocket and by the time I look at the screen, it is already unlocked.

However, I read some reviews (I yet to get mine, delivery in end Nov) that there is a quicker way (might not as quick as Touch ID though) where you do not wait for the padlock to show unlock before swiping up to unlock the phone. You can straight swipe up once u pull it out from you pocket and and have the phone in front of your face (with eyes open of coz..). Not sure not to describe that in words, but basically what you do is once u have you phone out and you at looking at it...just swipe up. Don't wait for the padlock to show unlock. Then the Face ID unlock and screen unlock will be like working simultaneously. That should make it slight quicker and maybe comparable with Touch ID?

Anyone got the phone can give it a try and see if this make ti slightly quicker to unlock? Of coz, it might still not as quick as Touch ID... icon_rolleyes.gif

Yes when you swipe up before padlock shows unlocked, the phone is already ready to unlock upon authenticating your face and will take you to the home screen right away.

Face ID doesn’t really rely on the looks, it is mapping out the face to analyse. Contact lens shouldn’t be an issue, spectacles/sunglasses will depend on the type of the lens whether the infrared can penetrate through.

I believe spectacles generally have no issues. Sunglasses will be the one that really depends due to certain sunglasses have high IR (infrared) rejection etc.

When first activate my face ID, I scan with my spec on.
Later I tried unlock without spec, or with one big sunglass also no problem. I guess as long as your sunglass frame is not blocking 50% of your face should be no problem. Or your glass's lens is super good, can block all the infra red.

i saw some video from youtube
A11 Bionic chips is smart, it will keep learning and
recognize you in differently looks, maybe for this time round may need
passcode to unlock, somehow on the next time unlock, the face id
will know that is you.

Yes...unlock with fingers while the phone is lying on desk is super convenient...and I do it everyday. I think I am going to deeply miss that feature when I got my X. Hopefully some software upgrade can make the phone recognize you while lying down...u know...like what the Apple advertisement shows when a sexy lady unlock it with the phone on the pool side? biggrin.gif

yes it is slightly smaller than my 6+ but I already get used to it after few hours of use.

Idea is Watch has to be in range connected to the phone, Watch also has to be on the wrist and unlocked in order for phone to remain unlocked. Hopefully Apple has at least thought of something similar like this.

because i have both note 8 & ipx (not yet arrived) so i'm thinking to buy 1 wireless charger that i can use for both phone.
note 8 wireless charger has fast charging feature so is it ok to use with ipx which doesn't support fast wireless charging yet?

note 8 wireless charger has fast charging feature so is it ok to use with ipx which doesn't support fast wireless charging yet?
*
Im using the same wireless charger from the Note 8 to charge my iphone x too. Rather slow charging though if you ask me so I dont bother.

How long does yours take to charge from about 0% to full on wireless charging?

About 29k of unread mails. How are you going to clear that? laugh.gif

After checking out all the reviews, I’m not so sure anymore, ha ha. Think I’ll wait to fiddle around with the actual one first. Was thinking of keeping my 8 Plus and buy and try the Mate 10 Pro instead biggrin.gif

Case 1 out of 4 just arrived. Bought this mainly to match my iPad cover as well, but turned out I bought the wrong colour! Lol

Maybe better this way since there is more contrast instead of the same exact colour as the iPad?

Canvas material, so it doesn't feel plasticky smile.gif
Bought it from Lazada, but you can get it directly from the reseller @ www.iphonecase.com.my
They had the matching colour with my iPad on their website but not in Lazada! Only just found out...
They are selling much cheaper compared to the brand's official website @ Uniq

How long does yours charge... lets say from % to full? IMO wireless charging is really slow. Not that charging by cable is fast but wireless is even slower.  sweat.gif

It’s slow, but does the job over night, all I need is to lay it on my side table, no wires. Easy.

Select all?

Nway, I wanna share my experience buying iPhone x in singapore. The worst ever experience crossing the causeway. I've been detained by the narcotic team lead by a female malay young officer. 100% car check with urine check. Best of all, my father who Ride with me to singapore for work, almost late for his work.

Cost for second link tuas - Plaza toll around Rm8 +~$10,
ERP - flat rate $5
Parking for 10 minute at Orchard road $3
Crossing causeway rm10 + $2
Dinner at McDonald's $25

Total lost rather than having it cheaper price
Rm200 minimum.

Moral of the story, just wait for Malaysia's Launching date.

Which color is more appealing to you? The silver looks a bit like off white under glass rather than shiny silver but looks cool with silver side. Haven't had the opportunity to view space grey.

Initially decided on space grey, then now eyeing white since the chrome silver frame with white makes it look more luxurious haha. Unless you want stealthy look.

But space grey PVD coated frame is less prone to scratches than the white silver chrome. BUT repolishing the silver frame to remove scratches is easy but if the PVD coating has scratches then too bad tongue.gif

X is the best phone right now in the market. Once you go for Apple, you won't go back to Android. If budget allows, of course iPhone X definitely the choice.

Woah...thats a bit of bad luck no? Seldom do peopld get urine check at the causeway during rush hours. Its usually at the weekends at night or early morning.
But at least it was a buying experience for you. 10 mins parking means there was no queue at Apple Store.

I read reviews on the Belkin SP and quite a number gave them poor rating. Mostly issues of the SP cracking on its own after a few days.

My friend luckily he got apply SP.
His X drop from height, SP cracked at corner but his original screen hasn't issue.
So don't buy without glued on center portion with less than 0.25mm thickness.

Any impressive after having your X?
Please come to share for us.

I am still re-consider for X or Mi Mix 2.
*
Been using X for a week since it's launched last week.

Love everything on this phone. The only concern is the screen tone looks yellowish.

Some ppl comment that the notch is annoying but when u really hold the phone, the notch is not obvious at all.

I would definitely pick X over Mi Mix 2. One of the main reasons is Apple will continue to support future software updates on X over years. I don't think XiaoMi will support Mi Mix 2 for more than 2 years.

Not me. I have used all the iphone series till ip8+ except ip5s. Still not attracted to iphone till now. My daily favorite is still those high end Androids. However I will consider getting a used ipX later . The current pricing s simply unacceptable to me even though I could easily afford it.
Only impressive feature of ip is its great battery life especially on standby

Yes I am. Definitely can feel the difference, feeling is very close to actual glass on the phone (since it is claimed to use technology from Corning). It’s slim as well at near 0.2mm. Best of all the accurate and consistent installation when done at an Apple Store.

I am one of the Apple user iphone 7, and i jump back to Android J7 Prime as i sold my iphone 7 in good price. I feel my phone is laggy as well as my friend using S8 is complaining too. Hence, I am getting iphone X or maybe iphone 8+(bigger battery life). Few of my friends using iphone 7 is also impressed with the battery and performance, they said, iphone really is the best phone currently.

Select all?

Nway, I wanna share my experience buying iPhone x in singapore. The worst ever experience crossing the causeway. I've been detained by the narcotic team lead by a female malay young officer. 100% car check with urine check. Best of all, my father who Ride with me to singapore for work, almost late for his work.

Cost for second link tuas - Plaza toll around Rm8 +~$10,
ERP - flat rate $5
Parking for 10 minute at Orchard road $3
Crossing causeway rm10 + $2
Dinner at McDonald's $25

Total lost rather than having it cheaper price
Rm200 minimum.

Moral of the story, just wait for Malaysia's Launching date.
*
It cost me over RM600 to take flight and cab, MRT and meal in SG. My trip wasn't that bad, it is costly, but happy owners of 2 iPhone X. Not to mentioned it cost me over RM6000 using my CC with poor conversion. Anyway we do this for what we love, still worth it.

I am using Hoda full cover on my iPhone 7+ and without any SP on my iPhone 6 (daring huh flex.gif ).

Not sure if 7+ and 6 using the same glass (most likely no). But what I am trying to say is that...the Hoda SP is much smoother than my 6 original screen. Even the finger print and smudge resistant are also much better...surprisingly...

I think i will probably get the Hoda again when my X is here...still can't wait for it to reach my hand.... cry.gif

Didn't bother going for the full coverage SP. Read most of the reviews on Amazon on all the full coverage types and many complains on the fitting not perfectly align. As I am quite OCD, i'd rather get a display coverage than a small miss-alignment especially at the small holes cut out in the notches.

In fact that is my worry also. Will the slight missed alignment affect the front camera view and causing more failure in Face ID?

You know, a slight miss alignment will affect the camera viewing angel a lot in relative to the distance

You don't have to pay more brother. The all clear glass is in fact cheaper with those with black strips. And I think the coverage is pretty much the same....both 2.5D. RM85 vs RM69.

I think I will go with the clear one...

Me too. Btw u buy from singapore at apple store? Do they still have stock now? Was thinking to go there this weekend.

u cant get stock directly. they wont allow. u must purchase through apple store (SG). they will open for few minutes usually at 4pm and 11pm~12 pm. u need to keep on refresh. Just buy any day and put any time slot for the next day even if u plan to pick it up over the weekend. they will keep it for u for at least a month till u pick the item. So try to get it every night. Currently if u try to purchase from Online store, they will say "pick up is unavailable at orchard". Wait till it change to available at 11 pm tonight ya. I think they have quota released everyday.

Which local store? telco or reseller local store? not sure on getting the iphone at any premium reseller. The previous iphone purchase all were done through telco contract. they have their pre-order available and u can choose to get it a their store without the need to wait for a long period of time. the last time i got meal/supper was from maxis which were the iphone 5 (Mid-night launch) at MaxisDanga Bay. The next few iphone, they were offering midnight delivery.

That's the dream, isn't it? Unfortunately every iPhone since the 6 have curved glass on the front, making it impossible to stick properly. If the glass were all transparent, it would create ugly bubbles on the curved areas where the protector cannot adhere to the glass.

Yeah. That's the time where people are cursing scalpers where the stocks were told to be plenty. Now, no more. Most of the info on how to get the iPhone I ve read it in the hardwarezone (Sg) forum. Plenty of info there including the yellow tint and the green line at the edge of oled. U guys might wanna see there if u wanna have some checklist on what to check upon receiving the ipX

There were tempered glass screen protectors last time which is full coverage that is slightly curved at the sides to match with the curved screen phones. But I can’t really find that anymore though

Yeah, the other issue with a misaligned or cheapo full coverage tempered glass is that sometimes it messes up your phone’s proximity sensor, though I suspect it won’t be a problem with the X, seeing how obvious the notch is!

I believe it’s fragile due to it being only slightly thicker than 0.2mm. I remembered one manufacturer told me that tempered glass should be at least 0.3mm thick for it to provide decent protection against impact.

Why I chose the Belkin ones sold in Apple Store is due to it claiming to use technology from Corning (so the feeling should be very similar to the naked glass on the phone) and I only want to protect from potential scratches. So a thinner glass protector should still fulfill my requirements.

Lastly, it’s just to experience the installation process st the Apple Store. laugh.gif

Yea Hoda pretty common now that sellers are carrying these days, probably best value for money tempered glass at the moment. The other brand is X-One which I’ve never tried before but I think X-One is the film type of protector.

Well, it’s not cheap. I paid RM90 for mine at machines, but it’s worth it.

You’re right, X-One is a film type and I tried it on my ex-Note 8 and it was horrible though. It kept lifting and it became grainy after a couple of weeks.

i would suggest dont get the iphone at singapore. just wait for Malaysian launch. Unless u already purchase at online apple store waiting for pickup. they will refresh the stock at 4pm and 11 pm for tomorrow pickup at orchard road. keep on refreshing F5 at their checkout. Put the item on the basket and make sure u fill in the CC earlier and hafal the CVV CC code. The time windows for u to finish everything will be around 5 minutes. I have previously missed the 11pm due to the problem putting billing "address in singapore", however, i kept on refreshing after that and at 11.20-11.25pm i managed to order the item again with pick up. No MSOS code was needed (malaysian maybank CC) unlike the courts (SG) where we need to fill in the MSOS code.

Anybody want a direct tips on ordering from apple store (SG) for pick up at orchard can PM me.

Seems the threads for iphone purchase are slowing down after a week of launching.

Majority seems managed to get their ipx.

In reality, Apple’s production supply is enough to fulfill the demand, only scalpers are making it difficult for genuine buyers who really want to own the iPhone X.

Yes very possible, I remember during the original iPad days where it was always out of stock but some insider info mentioned there were actually stocks in their store room but they release it in batches to create hype.

I've been using iPhone X for a week. I only have 3 main grudges:

1. When lying down on bed, with half face taking a peek on my phone the Face ID won't work

2. When driving, with 1 thumb I can unlock and take a quick peek on the phone. Now cannot dy, must put up direct to face - very dangerous

3. Put the phone too close to face, the Face ID won't work. Must put it away a bit

You can increase the sensitivity to unlock(face id) the phone by going to "General", "Accessibility", "Face ID & Attention" then turn off the "Require Attention for Face ID"

Hope it helps thumbsup.gif

edit: After doing that i can even unlock while wearing my sunglasses cool2.gif

Anybody eyeing to get a leather case for their X?
Tempted to get 1 for formal usage. I like Burkley cases, but wished their case covers the side buttons and the bottom corner extend a bit more... Their wallet cases would be interesting as well since the inner case is detachable.

It won't, a photo is 2-dimensional. Face ID makes a 3-dimensional map of your face, so it would not match.

i would suggest dont get the iphone at singapore. just wait for Malaysian launch. Unless u already purchase at online apple store waiting for pickup. they will refresh the stock at 4pm and 11 pm for tomorrow pickup at orchard road. keep on refreshing F5 at their checkout. Put the item on the basket and make sure u fill in the CC earlier and hafal the CVV CC code. The time windows for u to finish everything will be around 5 minutes. I have previously missed the 11pm due to the problem putting billing "address in singapore", however, i kept on refreshing after that and at 11.20-11.25pm i managed to order the item again with pick up. No MSOS code was needed (malaysian maybank CC) unlike the courts (SG) where we need to fill in the MSOS code.

Anybody want a direct tips on ordering from apple store (SG) for pick up at orchard can PM me.
*
Thanks for the tips
Was thinking of walk-in to Apple store Orchard to buy so can claim gst refund but got the risk of coming back with tangan kosong
Actually Malaysia price also very near to sg price with the cashback from goshop so still thinking haha

Those clear casings are getting mixed reviews regarding the bubbling/watermark at the back. Not sure why some have no issues at all while some do. I’m experiencing the same on my Ringke Fusion. Maybe some iPhone X are just a bit thicker causing the back to touch most casings? hmm.gif

I know another forumer here sold off his ipX at a loss only after 3 days. He was simply dissapointed and felt all was hype! He is btw a phone trader too. Anyway he is all the while a pro Android guy.

possible. ive regreted going to singapore for all this. the phone seems to be just like my previous other iphone. and its boring. the only different is OLED and face ID. and i will lose my JB which we rarely get a JB nowdays. Ive should just wait malaysian launch or else i will never feel like this. Once u got it, its already boring. the hype feeling will only last a few days. And i dont see many singaporean using Iphone X either. Unlike previous days where u sit on MRT, u saw person next to u, infront of u, everywhere are using the latest iphone. I think, this phone X is too expensive, even for a singaporean not to mentioned for us too. I will suggest everyone who planned to collect at Orchard or buying from scalpers/flippers to hold it for a while. Get the phone with a contract from our telco. In fact, 2 weeks is not that long either. Totally not worth a few hundred more just to get the phone. Unless if u bought it cheaper than the RRP.

Pro Android guys should never, ever buy new iPhones at launch price. They are bound to be disappointed.

Relax la bro. It has always been like that. The urge in getting the phone is more exciting actually getting it. Tbh, i get tired of new phone models in a day or two after using it. Why? Because its almost the same thing. Buy a phone, die die must be the earliest few to get it, use it for a month or two and buy the next new model. Rinse and repeat. This year alone I think I have bought 5 or 6 phones. rclxub.gif Since I had the X last Saturday, Im already looking forward to the OPO 5T already which is launching next week and I know very well its going to be almost the same s#@$ like my current OPO 5. doh.gif
