Need to wait for official launch then

Yeah, if I was buying an imported set it would make sense to go with them too

Haha, what to do, not meant to be lor. Are you eyeing a Telco plan? My contract with maxis only ends next year though...

I agree

I happily sign new contracts with maxis as soon as my current ones expire, coz they have about the best coverage where I work, live and play (I have a sneaky suspicion they know this, hence they don't care how expensive their plans are...)

Any discounts off the sticker price?

The TG not cheap then, hehe... RM50... Case friendly?

To me RM50 is ok. But yeah, one of the drawbacks of being an early adopter is that accessories are harder to come by and expensive in the beginning, but once the floodgate opens, then it multiplies in numbers and gets cheaper...

Gosh, that's bad. The ding came out of the box?

If it's a scratch and not a chip off, then yes, you could polish it. But if it is a chip off then not much you can do.

Ya, I suppose you can live with it, just a little painful though

Heh heh, yeah, nothing much you can do about it unless you wanna return it to T&L. But once your case goes on, can't see it di.

iPhone Xs Max Review is here...

The battery endurance looks disappointing though, less than iPhone 8 Plus' endurance rating of 81h.

Yeah, that's the deal with all glass phones. I slapped a matte sticker on the back of my iPhone X back then coz I couldn't stand the amount of fingerprint it was picking up, heh heh... Anyways, once you have a case, it'll be less of a bother.

No, not yet, but it's pretty much confirmed that Bangkok will be where the next Asean Apple Store will open.

Why you sad leh, you managed to get yours

Nope, none, hehe. In the end my will power won

Anyways still got 11.11 and 12.12 sales, no need to kan cheong

Still no official word on local release yet, if really 28.10 then 11.11 not that far off

By then you might sell me your used one for 5k or less

Itu sudah ada, hehe..

Anyways, initial thoughts after your first 24 hours with the XS Max?

Nice, hehe. I also come from a background of Plus sized iPhones, even used the 8+ as well, haha. Do let us know again after a few days on how is the battery life based on your normal usage patterns. I'm a little disappointed after reading GSMArena's review on it. Oh well, I just have to sit back and wait for the local launch to find out for myself.

From GSMArena's review of the XS Max: -

"We can all agree it's a bummer that Apple isn't shipping its most expensive smartphones with a fast charger, but there is one very good explanation why. It's simple - Apple doesn't want you to fast charge your iPhone.

Unlike Oppo, Apple doesn't have VOOC-like tech and relies on the regular USB-C Power Delivery chargers bundled with the latest MacBooks. Using such chargers will likely shorten the battery's overall lifespan."

So slow-charging is basically Apple forcing us to accept how best to manage the battery lifespan.

It's Apple

And also the lowest cost solution (practically free if you already have an iPad)

I personally prefer Tap to Wake vs Raise to Wake

That is super late
