Plan to buy from Apple online store. Slower to receive but oh well. At least, it gives me time to survey the cases.

No recontracting with maxis? biggrin.gif

Don't think so as I'm not keen on a two year contract. Prefer outright purchase. smile.gif

Head over to Sunway Pyramid this weekend for Switch World. There’s a variety of iPhone X cases being sold.

Thanks for posting here. Just bought the otterbox folio case. First time using otterbox flip case. Going to hunt for a normal case also. I’m spending too much. sad.gif

10 more days to go. Nothing much to feel wow about but I’m getting impatient. smile.gif

Good thing is it is smaller and lighter than the i8+. Plan to get the 64GB.

Yes, it would be more like the i8. Probably nicer to have a iX+ biggrin.gif

I think I can get use to the smaller size even after being on the bigger screen since i6+ days. Worst case, wait for i8+ price drop and buy it.

QUOTE(OKLY @ Nov 14 2017, 01:44 PM)
I have to agree with fadzly on his feeling on the iPhone X after 2 days. After day 2, it’s quite similar to the same old iPhone we are so used to except for a prettier display to look at and Face ID. Whether it is really worth its price, it’s really subjective but I as an iPhone X user personally feels that the price is not worth it. I buy it just for the love of iOS and feel good factor of using the best iPhone that Apple currently has.
*
I have the same feeling on this. But my criteria is as long as the phone / platform is reliable and intuitively familiar for ease of use, then it’s ok. As for price, that’s another story. Hehe.

Ya, if we survived on an iPhone 4 size before, what more the iPhone X? Haha...

I started with the i5 and in this forum too. smile.gif

Definitely prefer the bigger screen from the i6+ onwards. Let’s see how I adapt to the X soon. P

Ya, if you survived the 5 then learning to survive the screen size of the X shouldn’t be a problem smile.gif

The problem is learning to live without Touch ID

I am looking forward to the Face Id.

I change iPhone every year and Ever since iPhone 6 plus hit 4k , , I will now use it at least 2 years if not more. No more yearly upgrade as it really become overpriced to me. no choice iPhone price increase faster than my income lol.
*
My backup plan is to buy the previous iPhone models if the prices keeps going up. Or just buy an android phone.

For buying the X, I guess I better put some disclaimer that I’m not selling my organs, not paying credit card installment (0% is tempting though), not borrowing money, etc. Just kidding. tongue.gif

QUOTE(nyunyu @ Nov 20 2017, 06:22 AM)
Was about to post the same thing and saw your post. True enough.
Don't get confused of few thousands privileged people with the rest of the rakyats. If you can afford it then good for you.
*
Agree. The masses will not buy the X. It just happen this is the iphone forum and X thread. So ppl who are keen to purchase the phone are gathered here.

Same, can't sell my organs. Not worth anything due to years of abuse biggrin.gif

For me personally, even if I can afford the phone with cash upfront, if there's a 0% interest with no admin cost whatsoever then I'll take it. Coz RM6,000 in a FD will still generate 3%-4% a year which is still a good RM180 to RM240 rather than using it to buy a phone upfront when there is an option to pay installments for it with no additional costs to me. Besides in most cases when I do buy a phone, I sell my previous phone and that offsets the overall cost for my new phone so it's not really a problem. Anyways, don't want to get into that as that's totally beside the point.

The more important question is, have you ordered yours? smile.gif
*
Good idea on the FD. Did you find any 0% with no admin cost other than buying from telco + plan? Usually, there is some admin cost. And yes, the offset definitely helps. smile.gif

Will order on Friday via Apple online store as I usually do. I don’t mind the wait.

No, unfortunately. Only 0% with no admin cost so far is from Telco, everyone else has some admin charges or forces you to bundle your phone purchase with something else biggrin.gif

I think the wait shouldn’t be too long, if Apple Store Online Singapore is any indication. Maybe 1-2 weeks.
*
Yeah, slowly wait. I prefer the 1-1 exchange if my phone is faulty (touch wood).

Going to walk-in Machines on thursday itself, ahaha. If no stock then order online only.

Yea Friday hehe sorry sweat.gif but I notice you can walk-in and pre-order also cause yesterday I was at jdsports pavilion and I saw at the machines there. Should try going to gardens machines and walk-in preorder.

Did you manage to pre-order at Machines?

QUOTE(attw @ Nov 20 2017, 02:29 PM)
Yeah, since paying that much, better have one to one exchange in case of anything smile.gif

More convenient but more wait...smile.gif

Most people bought the 256 storage?

Apple online store still not available for the X.

I’m tempted to drop by the resellers store later.

Yup, me too. Don’t recall it being so late for previous iPhone models. Yesterday afternoon, I couldn’t enter cc details coz page was blank. It was ok in the night. I guess they are doing something.
