QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Sep 13 2018, 11:31 AM) True to that. But then again, we as consumers would be at the mercy of telcos / phone manufacturers to send us the sim data (we need to have wifi access to do this ) while we can plug in any sim card now on the spot and use the phone immediately. It would be much easier for phone manufacturers to lock consumers from using other telcos not of their choice, something like sim lock in the US. Again, I dont see any issue with having to pluging a sim card into a phone. No trouble actually. Nah, let's say if u r a frequent flyer to say country B, the phone would automatically detect it and instantly switch it to ur previous telco from country B. Absolute. Zero. Hassle. That's esim technology. |

Absolute. Zero. Hassle. That's esim technology. Alright. We will wait and see the implementation and how it runs. Anyway, I roam using my local telco most of the time, if possible (available roaming partners overseas) so that I dont need to switch out the sim card or carry another phone to tether data. |

For now I think dual sim is exclusive to China. Don't think we will get it. I hope maxis implements eSim for these iPhones when it gets here though  This post has been edited by attw: Sep 13 2018, 12:18 PM |

QUOTE(attw @ Sep 13 2018, 11:41 AM) Yeah, my point exactly 64GB would suffice for most regular users, users into gaming and graphics and videography might want to opt for larger storage options. My storage usage already reached 80Gb++ for my IPX. So there is no choice for me except to go for the 256GB again this round. I think Apple must have kept tracked of all our usages to ditch the 128GB so we have to buy the 256GB.  This post has been edited by TOMEI-R: Sep 13 2018, 01:13 PM |

That's because they had existing stocks, I believe. I just checked Apple Online and the prices of Macs, iPads and iPods have all gone up to reflect SST. Tax holiday is over, guys  iPhones and Watch Series 3 priced down, naturally. Oh, and AirPods also down |

Apple has been quick to increase RAM size recently just when I thought Apple will stick with 3GB RAM for another year.

If in no hurry, you probably can get it slightly cheaper around 2-3 months later when there are sales running on platforms like Lazada, Qoo10 etc. |
