Why you have to choose the busiest time to buy iPhone X case, go some other time maybe better.

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.

Aesthetic wise do you think it’s a worthy upgrade from 7+?
Eg. performance, camera, functionalities
*
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+

I’ll be in Singapore in December, flights already booked. So maybe will buy there. Never been to an Apple Store, believe it or not, ha ha (very mountain tortoise)

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

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  .

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.

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.

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.

Turn off Truetone, suspect firmware bugs.

What brand was it? The Hoda tg without full coverage is Rm68.
The silver is nice. But I still prefer the space grey because of the darker side linings I dont like the chrome. Too much bling.
*
I am waiting for my Hoda full coverage TG with soft edges at around Rm30 bought at taobao on 11.11. Will try if it is better than my current Baseus.

Thanks for the suggestion, it solves my problem too, don't have that issue in 7+ in my iOS 10, by default all apps are turn off on Siri Suggestion, wonder how to turn all at one time? Now I have to turn on siri suggestion on apps one by one, hundreds of apps ler!

hi guys , is it hard to get Iphone X in Singapore? Not sure if will be the same in Malaysia during launch later?
*
Make sure you stay awake tomorrow night, by 12am Friday, start buying the target place you want to buy online, and collect on next Friday. Do all the studies and make sure you have the fastest internet speed and platform to chase with other buyers. Speaking of that, I did train well before I manage to secure 2 in Singapore on the 1st day of launch. You need to do some homework and preparation if you want to get 1st day of launch.

iPhone X, coming from 6+, 6S+ and 7+, definitely X much nicer to hold and FaceID is so much cooler, I wish my iPad Pro has FaceID now, not used to touchID as faceID is so much convenient. I have used TouchID for 4 years, FaceID not even 2 weeks I already got use to it.

Welcome to the club peeps
Enjoy your 3days max of new refreshing design
Apart from the beautiful display, the rest still quite similar

I have it for 2 weeks now, still very excited with the new gesture, faceID(kind of easy than put my finger on touchID while holding phone) and nice camera. Display is definitely a plus. Most exciting design on on this 10th iPhone so far.

Everyday 1st thing wake up is enjoy this new design iPhone.

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.
*
My friend paid RM4200(after coupon and discount voucher) at Lazada, imported US set with qualcomm chip for 8+ 256GB, that could be one of the reason.

How much 7+ 256GB u were selling btw? I sold both my 7+ 128GB in few hours.
