QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Sep 27 2018, 03:16 PM) Qoo10 dont have SG set mar. True, but that doesn't mean it's more desirable than HK. Anyways, another month or so before the official launch, probably sooner since response is not great in the first wave countries...

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Sep 27 2018, 04:56 PM) Because its tax and Gst free in HK. It will be close to the RRP of Singapore as usual. After so many years, we have well guessed the actually RRP of My according to Sg. Ya, think so too. Oh well, the second wave countries will get their units tomorrow. Let's see if they announce MY in the next wave  QUOTE(benny888 @ Sep 27 2018, 04:56 PM) Only display type but need to see it before decision to buy Other features I deemed insignificant Vs Xs So true. Am especially puzzled that they would put the A12 instead of the A11 in it. The A11 is still good enough for most tasks and apps. Other than the inferior display resolution and single camera, there's nothing much separating the Xr and the Xs - except maybe RM1k or so! This post has been edited by attw: Sep 27 2018, 05:05 PM

QUOTE(ooihong @ Sep 27 2018, 05:17 PM) I might have missed earlier post, do we know if local XS Max unit will have dual sim version (not e-Sim) The new models of iPhones coming into our country already registered with Sirim. It's the eSIM + nano SIM version.

QUOTE(StarPrimo @ Sep 27 2018, 07:06 PM) Does this mean that local telcos will be coming out with eSIM for usage with IPhone?  QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Sep 27 2018, 07:15 PM) Not neccesarily. Even if they dont, you still can use a normal nano sim with the phone. Yup, so you'll have one nano SIM slot and one redundant eSIM slot

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Sep 27 2018, 08:57 PM) Oops my bad...  Just read, Taiwan also not getting the dual sim. Their fans are complaining too since their Telcos are not ready for ESIM yet. Ya, dunno why Apple doesn't just keep it simple and give everyone dual physical sims...

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Sep 27 2018, 09:33 PM) Well, like mentioned. Apple keeps pushing new technology into the market but whether it is viable or not, it would be another question. For now, majority of the markets are not ready for the ESim yet. For those who are not in the know how, Apple has long come out with Apple Sim, whereby using a single SIM card, iPad buyers can pick and choose data service —with no contracts —from any participating wireless carrier around the world. I have pretty much guessed it that they are moving to the ESim to continue to sell Apple Sim. When Apple introduces something, the company practically shoves it down your throat making you accept it, and there would be ISheeps around defending them. But when it came to China, I heard the Chinese rejected the Esim and demanded a dual physical sim and hey... look who had their way.   Heard the response was lukewarm in China. Hopefully that'll teach 'em a lesson QUOTE(yvonnesoo @ Sep 27 2018, 10:10 PM) u guys really devil! even Benefon that have bought the SG set also kena. resell n rebuy lol TOMEI-R is the chief  , haha... So are you gonna pull the trigger and join them? This post has been edited by attw: Sep 27 2018, 10:14 PM

QUOTE(666devil @ Sep 28 2018, 05:38 AM) If that is the case, will start drop price very soon. Since IPhone X so pricey and laku also drop price, no exception also for Xs Won't drop price bro, but online platforms may have sale  QUOTE(ooihong @ Sep 27 2018, 11:21 PM) Noted on the XS version. XR will be with dual Nano sim right? No e-Sim for XR models. No, we'll also get nano sim+eSIM for Xr as well. https://www.apple.com/my/iphone-xr/specs/This post has been edited by attw: Sep 28 2018, 06:44 AM

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Sep 28 2018, 11:02 AM) This is the reply I have got from T&L regarding delivery. From the reply, I would say very likely that the phones are still in transit from HK and not ready stocks. Maybe the first batch that was delivered was ready stocks. Oohh, just about to ask if you've received yours.
