Nope...for Celcom, the RM700 is rebated back over 10 months, meaning RM70 rebate every month....RM98 - RM70 = RM28...GST based on RM28....which is why the RM700 upfront is charged GST first.

Relax bro. It's mentioned there *rm700 (rm700 x 1 month). Those 10 months is so 1 year ago.
*
I kinda feel like that is a typo on the part of Celcom...best to clarify with them. It is illogical to charge you advance RM700 to be rebated back to you in the first month in full.

The next iteration of the Plus model of the Iphone X will definately hit the Rm7k mark. Question is, would it still be logical enough to buy it at that price then. By then, our X will be dated too.  sweat.gif
*
I believe otherwise...I think by next year, they would have streamlined the production process and improved output and yield plus they have gained the volume price of the raw materials....so the price of the X and X Plus will be lower.

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. laugh.gif
*
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.

Maybe we can stock up on NOS (new old stock) Iphone 7+ or Iphone 8+ laugh.gif ? 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.
*
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?

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 tongue.gif

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Nov 17 2017, 03:44 PM)
No bro... Thought of buying from Techworld preorder. New dealer with limited ratings. Not sure if safe to proceed. sweat.gif
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. laugh.gif

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?
*
Lol, stock up for own use thumbsup.gif

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?

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.
*
Setting the price at RM3400...is it too high?

How much you sold your 7+ 128GB?

Hey bro, what do you mean by 9V/1.1A? for fast charging at 7.5W? after 11.2 update?

What kind of wall charger did you pair to your wireless charger? the iPad charger? 12W?
*
This is the official reply from Apple https://support.apple.com/en-my/HT208137 ....in short, you need to get an adapter that supports USB Power Delivery. It has to be USB-C capable charger. QuickCharge 2.0 is not compatible for fast charge.

Anyone using Hoda Tempered Glass SP on their ipX with cases? Wanna know which Hoda TG is compatible. Didn't want to buy the wrong one.

Bro,
there are two separate things there

1. Fast wireless charging: iPhone is going to be capable to charge at 7.5W, can use fast wireless charges that are rated up to 10W. but I want to confirm if the iPad charger can work for that. (if anyone here knows), because some places it says we need to get QC 2.0 for that.

2. Fast Charging Via Lightning: Power Delivery (PD) at 29W is for wired fast charging: with USB C to lightning cable. Not wireless fast charging
*
Oh, my answer is for your No. 2 above. As for No. 1, I cannot really tell you for sure as my iPX hasn't arrived yet. But, if I have a QC 2.0 adapter + Samsung Fast Wireless charger, it charges compatible Samsung phones with fast wireless charging. Ori Samsung Fast Charging Adapter + Fast Wireless charger achieves that too. So not sure for ipX.

But I can tell you that it is not recommended. Normal wireless charging (Qi Wireless from my car) makes the phone quite warm to the touch. Fast wireless charging raises the temperature even higher. You are gonna shorten your expensive ipX battery lifespan if you use this daily.

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Nov 24 2017, 03:29 PM)
You wont go wrong with the non full coverage one if you worry about casing compatibility.
*
True, but I prefer the full coverage one if it works.

QUOTE(D-Frog @ Nov 24 2017, 03:34 PM)
Me.
Using the full coverage one, so far spg and uag case can fit.

Nice bro...I plan to get the SGP Ultra Hybrid S Clear (with metal kickstand) + Hoda Full Coverage TG.

Anyone here uses SGP with kickstand? Is it nice?

Mine is the non full coverage. Its only Rm10 Rm20 cheaper to the full coverage one. I just didnt like the full coverage because I feel it makes the phone thicker.
*
For me, its the other way round sweat.gif
If I am using the phone naked, then I will use the non full coverage because the edge of the TG feels smoother...but if I am going to use case for the phone (in which I will due to bloody expensive phone), I would go for the full coverage TG because if it fits properly, the transition from the TG to the case edge would be smooth and flush that way...didn't wanna have a groove like between the TG and case to collect dust. thumbup.gif

I purchased online with Senq since they offer additional 1yr warranty for Senq members. Hope they don't screw up with fulfillment.

Looking at the availability of stocks this around, I would not think that would happen. laugh.gif

Hard to say after looking at their FB....those that walk-in claims they were forced to buy SP and Case with the ipX which is very funny. I called a few Klang Valley shops all say no stock and will only arrive next week. Lastly I'm too lazy to go anywhere or to queue, so I just order online doh.gif
