QUOTE(harmeet15 @ Sep 19 2018, 09:35 PM) Thanks for the info bro. It is indeed the biggest battery ever in an iPhone, but still seems a little small considering it has to power a 6.5" screen. Anyways, will need to see the actual day-to-day performance before making a conclusion.

QUOTE(skyp @ Sep 20 2018, 11:01 AM) I am thinking discounted ipX better or XS. Both are almost identical except some hardware upgrade . Xr is out of topic because couldn't support 1080p. Shall see what's the best deal I can get for ipX QUOTE(Benefon @ Sep 20 2018, 11:08 AM) New XS 256gb is around RM5.6k vs X 256gb RM3.9k or lesser.. This is depend what are you preferring too.. More on taking photo with video or playing their latest features? Just buy for normal use, i think the X is really good than enough to last up 2 couple years. Like someone mentioned a couple pages back, sure the Xs is better than the X, but it's no way RM1.7k better.

QUOTE(StarPrimo @ Sep 20 2018, 07:56 PM) The slight reduction in capacity is unusual, considering the iPhone XS and iPhone X are the same size. But Apple claimed that the iPhone XS offer a longer battery life, with the device capable of 30 more minutes of usage time than the iPhone X.  Perhaps due to the new chip A12 Bionic.  Actually it's not unusual. They reduced the iPhone 8 Plus battery capacity to 2691mAh from iPhone 7 Plus 2900mAh, claiming the A11 was more efficient, but real life tests revealed the 7 Plus outlasts the 8 Plus. Maybe the Xs has better efficiency since it's a single piece L shape battery vs the 2-piece setup of the X https://m.gsmarena.com/iphone_xs_teardown_r...-news-33363.phpThis post has been edited by attw: Sep 20 2018, 09:35 PM

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Sep 20 2018, 10:10 PM) No matter what they claim, nothing can defy physics. A bigger capacity battery will outlast a smaller capacity battery no matter what manufacturers claim. The tech here is to come up with larger capacity batteries, but in a similar size. True that. Anyways, more videos and reviews by tomorrow evening or night

QUOTE(Lynixx @ Sep 21 2018, 10:46 AM) just found out that the price of apple products selling in HK is much cheaper than SG QUOTE(celciuz @ Sep 21 2018, 11:06 AM) I think mainly cause HK doesn't have tax for electronics right? As I know stuffs like camera lens also cheaper there. Now... I need to look for a friend who is flying to HK...  But I’m curious about the warranty though, since the dual sim is different from the eSIM one we’ll receive here.

QUOTE(zerohunter @ Sep 21 2018, 11:57 AM) I chose to get it from T&L as they provide seller warranty (send back to Apple HK) IF local AASP doesn't honor the warranty for HK set. BTW my set status already updated to 'preparing for shipment'. Should receive by next week. [attachmentid=10033692] Yeah, from T&L should be OK. If the official MY price is not much different from HK I might go down that route too.

QUOTE(zerohunter @ Sep 21 2018, 12:18 PM) Yes i am aware about the GST, but what about the new SST? Is mobile phone get taxed for SST? Yes, 5% vs GST 6%. Doubt there is a significant difference in terms of the selling price if the iPad prices are any indication.

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Sep 21 2018, 12:42 PM) Anyway, good choice on getting a dual sim HK unit. Pointless to get an esim unit as it wont be usable here, at least for now. One more concrete excuse to get an XS Max now---- Dual sim standby on an Iphone. attwNope, not gonna budge till it’s officially available here, hahaha... You shouldn’t as well, coz we suppose to insaf together
