You could buy unlocked sets if you walk into Apple Stores in the US or you could buy through Apple Stores online. Locked sets are telco subsidized units bro.

pointless when those telcos didnt mention a thing on eSim adaption. render the ‘dual-sim’ function useless

the hottest color this year - GOLD
agree?

somehow the gold color this year is really very golden and if im not mistaken, even the stainless steel side is gold color

High Five! Space Grey ftw! Bold and classy... anyway, i'm pretty sure there will be (RED)Products next year... 

not sure. saw space grey still great.. but of course, people will want something different than iphone x. thus they might opt for gold more than space grey.

Let the Roulette rolling. Would you pay RM6,000 for a LG OLED? 

Apple to use LG Display as second OLED maker for iPhone XS, XS Max

Oooo..can be shipped to E.Malaysia or W.Malaysia also la bro?

Too big for me, now my 128gb still have so much left.
This is not points to get 512gb unless I really needs focus videos.

Smartphone technology has already reached a level where major improvements and breakthroughs are hard to come by. Manufacturers can also claim so much as better battery life, a faster processor, better screen and resolution, better camera etc where except battery life, you wont really notice a difference in your daily usage of the phone. While I don't blame them for the  above, it is the increase in price which is the real issue. Some companies are really over their heads where they dare to price their products exorbitantly without fear of consumer backlash and reprisal. As consumers continue to buy their products, the more bold they become and the pricier their products get. The only thing you you as consumers can do, is to simply not buy. Lets see what is the outcome of the sales of this generation of the Iphone and if they could achieve their targeted sales volume.

Same2 la. Look at Samsung note9? See the sales? Go outlet see if anybody.
And then all the Chinese brands follow iPhone design. Reached phone design limitation.
But look at Apple Watch.m, still so much potential. It’s the hype of the event, overshadowing Iphone. Here is the article with same observation:

dual physical sim will be their booster for SEA market if their sales going slow after a few month.. lets see..

Hi guys
Can recommend me which iPhone to buy

No matter hw many times I change to Android, I still prefer iPhone..I think because of app quality..also tired with android bugs..phone will slow/lag after a year plus..using pixel 2 now.. still fast but so many problem with the phone..screen blue tint prob is still ok for me..but then come another bug..latest is no notification sound which is really annoying..only advantage of android is their camera and fast charging

Last highest model iPhone I used ip7 plus.. reason selling.. too huge.I think those bezel really big make it uncomfortable but then when I change to iphone se I feel like toy phone so small, change to 6s ..feels ok but the battery really sucks after iOS 11 .other reason is the Touch ID didn’t work that well for me but I think my finger hard to register..even pixel 2 also sometime not work.. only Samsung phone works well with my finger for some weird reason

The iPhone 8 RRP is 2899 and Plus version 3299. IMHO The XR will be priced much higher...at least 4K++.

Bro... Pixel 2 memang a lot of issues bro. Tak boleh pakai also. 

Apple did not use UFS. They use NVME Pcie for their internal storage. Also Apple having absolute control on the software and hardware have always been a bonus. This is why they trail-blazed the competition in internal storage.
The good news is Apple adapted their SSD controller used on the macbook pro and optimized it for their iPhone. This is why u have insanely superior, never seen before internal storage speeds on a phone.

iPhone XS preorder volume fails to impress analysts

I believe many are waiting for the cheaper XR model ??

Bro.. U will be going back to stoneage with the 720 dpi screen and single camera with the XR.

U sure u wanna do that?    and pay good money for it too.

Get the XS Max.. To avoid upgrading again later.   

Should I get the old X or Xs? It's less than 1k difference anyway

Thats what I thought. Still contemplating. Get the X and upgrade the phone next year

i guess those who wait for XR, better dont get during pre-order... wait for hands on demo unit.. and see with your own eyes.. are you ok with the low res...
probably yes... because 8plus was full HD screen, surely consume more battery...

i am waiting for huge discount on X model...but not sure how low will it get to...

and also 64Gb or 256Gb...which to choose since we can upload photos + videos onto google drive and icloud

I am pretty similar to you but I got started iPhone 2G in 2007, resale value of used iPhone is so good allowing me to change every year. But iPhone X is going to be the most 'losses' I have on iPhone, will find out this weekend.

I am also interested in AW4, but hopefully telco in mys support esim soon else defeat the purpose of dual sim.

For the price I got my 256GB when it first launced...  

been using for a year now...left with 150gb

if X 256gb is around 4.5k i can consider

The resolution is like 6, 6s, 7 or 8 326ppi. If one can accept that resolution, bigger screen with that price will be value for money, not to mention FaceID is huge different user experience. Please don't go and look at ppl's OLED iPhone screen then XR user will be ok.

XR going to be a hit as the price is merely US$50 more than 8 plus, it is a huge upgrade from 8 and not upgrade from 8 plus since the single camera, 326ppi mimic 4.7" iPhone rather than 5.5" 401ppi resolution and dual camera since 7+
