In hind sight, that could be a wise decision, as iPad cycles are in March, so we could see new gen ones in the next few months

Good choice bro Maybe I’m bias coz I change phone yearly but iPad could be every 3-4 years

anyone bought their IPX with Hong Leong credit card promotion with RM 500 off with Maxis plan?

I find it to be too much of a hassle: -

- Only certain cards applied qualifies - and in some cases you need to apply for a two-card combo
- Need to apply Balance Transfer
- Need to sign up Auto Billing

Tried finding out from them if the first 10000 is already redemeed - but they can't check

they wouldnt tell you definitely, if not nobody will bother to actually apply for it.

HSBC also got the same offer and looks easier

Only if you're not already an existing card holder as well.

What's the pros and cons of getting US (simfree set) other than MY set...?

As i know... the pros is cheaper... and the cons is hard to sell here in Malaysia later bcos most user here is concerning on MY set only...

For the warranty, i can send to the service centre here for claim rite...?

Update: ok, I just find out there's slightly different between these 2 sets in terms of processor... Qualcomm vs Intel... can somebody elaborate on this?

Cons
- Resale value lower compared to local unit
- Warranty is touch and go - sometimes authorized service center layan, sometimes they don't.

Alrite thanks for the fast response... and yeah, the warranty will be like 'depending on luck'...

But for the modem chip, is it much different? I try to search a video of comparison specifically for this 2 types, but cannot find it in youtube...

See link in my edited post above. That said, I think real life comparisons will show very minor differences.

yea this is standard across most of the offer given lol

Mine set is US Simfree. Appearance wise no different from Malaysian set. Qualcomm vs Intel, I don’t see a difference compared to my wife’s Malaysian set.

Resale value? Well I bought cheaper sure sell cheaper also but I’m sure many are willing to buy US set also given the price. I got it for 4410

wonder if we can send ipx to change battery next year... since it is til end of 2018

Sorry to hear bro...u mean peel off paint on the black coated stainless steel part? Got pics? U didn't use case?

Have the same idea
But iphoneX is IP67 rated, any repair will compromise the waterproof.
So probably not worth it, unless apple replaces the seals too...🤔

Bro almost forget to check with you....did you get the problem with bottom gap opened on both your rhinoshield mod? Like the pics below?

If your case don't have this issue means it only happens to those who uses the backplate..

need to ask, because if Apple Authorize Service Center, they can reseal back, seal back is not hard, provided they have the equipment...

i have Samsung S7 Edge previously and send for screen replacement at Samsung Center, they reseal back and tested the water proof as well even though out of warranty, i paid for the screen, third party wont seal back haha

Wow if warranty but never cover reseal back ip67 then that leads to another big problem, I’ll also check with SC and update my findings tomorrow
