I don't care the reviews, I want to buy has more than thousand of reason to buy the XS Max for my own.

You can't bro.. you have already preordered. tongue.gif

But on a side note, the bigger screen on the max is really needed on the X, so it has to be Xs Max.

You order is deliver to somewhere or collect from Apple Store Singapore?

You are Malaysian working in Singapore?

I'm thinking to go down Singapore by bus and fly out to buy and possibly claim the tax refund (airport). Not sure can that works or not.  hmm.gif

Anyone did that before?
*
Technically yes, provided

1) You bought from Apple physical store with proper receipt

2) Last port of disembarkation is Singapore airport

3) You manage to get stock on the same day you are going. tongue.gif

Better to buy from the airport as suggested by fadzly,  but risky in case they don't have stock of what you want on your departure date laugh.gif

i came from android to iPhone and sticked with iPhone for around 6 years now. Used to think androids are laggy thats why i stick with iPhone. but recently realise after i bought a cheap android phone that androids are getting better nowadays

Not only it is getting better, it is getting even faster than IOS. tongue.gif at a fraction of the price of Iphones. rolleyes.gif

Laggy androids are of the yesteryears.

Just worry china set has a different chip and parts.
Even water resistant not as good, cause due to dual sim slot..

Why would China set has different chip and parts, and water resistance will not be as good due to dual sim slot? hmm.gif

This is going to be good... rolleyes.gif


You do know that no matter where you buy your iphone from, it will still be made in the same factory in China right?

When Apple claims the Xs and Xs Max are IP68, then the phone has to pass certain tests to qualify it for IP68 compliancy. So unless you are doubting Apple QC controls. whistling.gif

Do you know that using different chip and parts will actually increase the costs of production as Apple will have to come up with different parts for phones of different regions, as you claimed.

The dual sim slot is similar to your normal sim slot, only that it is made to accomodate two sims on on top and on on the bottom. Many android phones are already dual sim already.



The only difference I could think of between phones of different regions would be network bandwidth. But I will have to wait for the spec sheet to come out first before confirming.

for dual physical sim, i think warranty wise would be an issue here due to the sim tray and the board reading the sim card different... not sure if apple malaysia will honor hk/china/macau sets.

Welcome back bro. rclxms.gif

This is the same disscussion we had for all launches of new generation of Iphones ever since. Rule of thumb, buy only Apple Store sets, especially when you are buying oversea sets. Two, pray and hope AASPs here wont turn away your foreign set. I myself had only claimed once for an apple store sg set with MacCity. But the staff did mention they are helping me out by sending the unit back to SG for claims and this is a case to case basis. Meaning that they could reject your set as it is not a My set.

You are so smart.. They no parts for you to replace , they would ask you bring back to china for warranty.

AASPs here dont repair your phones here for RMA cases. Your units are sent back to Apple Sg for repairs and they will replace your phone with a seed unit.

XR is a joke only good thing is the specs (same with the big bro). You cant even watch 1080p youtube video in that screen..its the same resolution of iphone 4. Better buy the XS or if you can afford the XS max..its a good a choice.
*
You have a point there. Might as well get the XS if you could afford it or get an Iphone 8 for that money.

QUOTE(chrischiang @ Sep 20 2018, 09:58 AM)
apple now offer international warranty.. if your set is unlock.. and ASSP here don't help you to claim.. just contact apple.. that ASSP will get a work order to proceed your claim..

this works for iphone x /8 ...xs and xr should be fine too... not too sure bout new xs max as it have dual sim /esim...
That price.. top up a lil get the iphone x now..
i getting xs.. using 7plus now.. 1 hand operation is hard.. i cant imaging for xs max.. so i ordered xs space grey..
*
There is no international warranty for iphones. Go through Apple's terms and conditions of the warranty again.


For your convinience.

Apple's One Year Limited Warranty Policy


QUOTE(arshad @ Sep 20 2018, 10:22 AM)
Damn. I'm still considering whether to go for Xs or Max. From IPhone 7. laugh.gif I like the larger screen size but in order to do 1 hand operation..blergh
*
If you are using the Iphone 7, the XS will do just fine. But not if you are using the 7+. I went from the 7+ to the X and I fret the small screen.

I have claimed warranty twice on iPhone X bought in Sg Apple Store. I have also confirmed last year iPhone has international warranty when I asked last year except Taiwan and other very few countries due to the countries regulation. But again, always call/chat with Apple and keep the record before you buy overseas when Apple claim there is international warranty. The warranty rules may change year after year.

For China/HK iPhone which has different sim slot and probably radio, i think repair still can happen except the warranty is due to the 2 which may take longer unless Apple claim no warranty for the iPhones bought from those 2 countries in the 1st place.
*
Agreed. But we would have this discussion during every new launch of iphones and preferably, lets keep its as per stated on Apple's warranty policy.

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.

Alright then. We will all quote you when any forummers ask about international warranty for their iphones or if they failed to RMA their international sets. thumbsup.gif

50% of those queing up or rather 60% are scalpers. Like the last round of the Iphone X launch, many of them made at least SGD$1000 of from scalping 1 unit of Iphone. Btw, each person queuing is allowed to buy two units. So if you queue overnight, you could stand to make make SGD $2000 from it, this is good money. nod.gif
