QUOTE(666devil @ Sep 13 2018, 07:32 AM) No doubt. With that price , you will still se Xs Max top selling model again. But this time the entry leve Xr really impressive with its features and price point. Not sure why they even bothered with Xs. IMHO Xr overshadowed it with latest chip, price point, and larger screen. Agree with you on that. I think the Xr will outsell the Xs and Xs Max. |

QUOTE(andrekua2 @ Sep 13 2018, 07:12 AM) It's amazing how Apple keeps on charging these pricing and consumers will still buy them despite all the complaints. Peer pressure helps. Seem like Apple will be the first on 7nm. I wonder if the battery consumption will improve or they will push more performance since they have more headroom now. I work in a big MNC and I’ve noticed more fresh grads taking iPhone X than senior managers.  Priority in life wrong. I have this theory where these millennials somehow need to buy the best and most expensive thing to impress and couldn’t afford the best car, so majority will go for the most expensive iPhone. |

Oled screen alone cost over $100. It's the same chip, but still think XS is much more worthy than XR. |

QUOTE(X30N @ Sep 13 2018, 07:39 AM) gonna sell off my iphone x for the new iphone I sold my 8 Plus last month for 2900, which was a bit lucky now that a new one costs 3299  The X on the other hand is interesting since it's been discontinued. Could still fetch a good price until the Xs becomes available  |

Oh well, mediocre upgrades and a super expensive price tag. Just as expected. No breakthroughs unless someone wants to consider dual Sim as one, for Apple at least.  Let's see how much the RRP will be in Malaysia. This post has been edited by TOMEI-R: Sep 13 2018, 08:02 AM |

Just looking at the Singapore pricing will give you an idea on what our RRP will be like here. I think I'll be staying away from the Xs this round and will probably just go for the Xr. |

Will wait it out though to see if the prices would come down a bit after launch, maybe discounts later from local online resellers. Don't think I will buy from Singapore this round. $2049 for the 256gb X's Max is like Rm6150.  Not going to be an early adopter this round, No. I already insaf  |

Is like one nano sim and one eSim... which doesnt work in Msia. Only China model will get true dual sims. |

Waiting to see the first listing from scalpers at the Garage Sale for RM10,000  winkiedilwy, noticed you changed the topic to XS/XS Max discussion already, what about Xr? You'll open another thread for us? |

QUOTE(sigheart @ Sep 13 2018, 03:33 AM) Not sure man but at launch the retail price for the X in Malaysia was RM5149 for 64GB and RM5899 for the 256GB with GST. But prices rapidly dropped from then on. Retail price now for the X after SST is RM4857 for the 64GB and RM5565 for the 256GB now for places still selling it. The 512GB for this year's iPhone X will most likely take last year's 256GB price point and the 256GB will sit in between. Apple does not simply hike their product. So I expect Xs 64 priced rm4857. And 5565 will be minimum price for 64gb Xs Max. Oh well at tat price point I might just get Xs too.. Not really keen on the huge screen. But yeah u get the wow factor since xs max is bigger and ppl may not notice u using xs unless u get the gold color. But I can say I love the new gold color.. Just looks tad classier |

I have this theory where these millennials somehow need to buy the best and most expensive thing to impress and couldn’t afford the best car, so majority will go for the most expensive iPhone. another way to look at it is, they are finding it difficult to own cars and houses. Instead of paying interest to bank every month, they would rather spend the money for things that make them happy. |

Once esim is fully operator supported in all countries u will truly wonder why there is even a need for two physical slot in the past. |
