The new iPhone will be expensive I am more interested in the 6.1 inch model and looking forward to its pricing. If it ever touch the rm5k and above mark it will be a no go for me

Hi all,
I thinking of buying an iPhone x as birthday present for my gf, but its still bit early now.
Since SST is gonna implemented soon, i fear there will be a price hike, but the launching of the next wave of iPhone models is around the corner oso, which i assume will drive down the prices of existing models.
Should i grab one now or wait first? I plan to buy via maxis plan

Getting Started

I know this question has been asked before. but should i get the iPhone X or wait for the new iPhone (11?) set to be released circa September 2018? Since SST is looming in, the previous models' pricing could even go up then? Thoughts?

I think 4500 for a used one is quite a hard sell. I guess maybe 4000 would be more interesting.

QUOTE(quilava @ Aug 26 2018, 06:52 PM) Forget note 9. Freaking expensive and totally not worth the price. Android is no match in every aspect compared to iPhone. If u can’t afford Apple, get the poco which is same experience like the note 9 at much worthy price. right now use ip x..but itchy hand to try note 9..
