decide for yourself;

IMPORTANT RESTRICTION FOR iPHONE, iPAD AND APPLE TV SERVICE.

Apple may restrict warranty service for iPhone, iPad and Apple TV to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors originally sold the device.

And yet sellers insist iPhones have “international warranty”

I read thru the difference between Qualcomm vs Intel chipset (modem) and it seems the US (Qualcomm) model is more compatible worldwide. Price is great as well (even for Simfree model). Very tempted to get one for my wife but worry about the warranty. Can we claim warranty of US model in Apple Store Malaysia if anything happens?

Technically, I would choose the US set. How about local market for used in Malaysia, say 2-3 years down the road, we wanted to sell iPhoneX to upgrade, is there acceptable market for used US IphoneX set?

Anyone with experience here can comment?

if the chip is better in us set, shouldnt it be better too in malaysia?

More to do with the band than the chip, I think. If you get a US SIM free one then shouldn’t be a problem.

bought an iphone SE LL 64GB (rose gold)
recently,

few things already gave away it was a refurbished model

1. box a little dent
2. no apple sticker
3. i think the screen was replaced because i compared to local SE (tak pernah tukar screen lagi), screen brighter than my SE
4. the charger felt not ori or maybe just my sense
5. apple coverage, activate long time ago
6. already updated to latest IOS, should come with IOS 9 but mine came with IOS 11.3

hahahaha
but since i buy cash and only wanted to use it for awhile till i buy new gen iphone next year. (as my 5S already cant handle any task)
price wise, better than used local SE.

yes and that is seller/store/third party refurbish. If Apple’s original factory refurbished I wouldnt mind but we dont have Apple refurbish in malaysia though...

u know what, I sometimes prefer third prty refurbish than original second hand.. if the price is appropriate, I would do same.. third prty refurbish looks brand new because they got a new housing, even it’s not an original housing, it still better than second hand with ugly scratch on its housing.. if u use ur phone wisely while u r waiting for a new phone, it should be ok.. no problem whatsoever

what u should look when buying iPhone from 3rd party:

i) ID Lock
ii) Screen condition (The aftermarket color production tend to be 'cold')
iii) Fingerprint (If not function, can nego more)
iv) Sim-lock/carrier lock or not
v) Japanese set or not

doesn't matter ZP set or HK or MY

The Japanese set concern is only because of the camera shutter sound, or is there anything else?
