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.

This is a very good point. There IS a physical difference now between the HK and MY/SG sets. Hmm, interesting indeed....

Let's pray hard our beloved country will get the dual sim later when they officially release here...

yes. no point for X users to upgrade unless got money la hehe

iPhone prices are getting ridiculous......

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

This is going to be good...
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. 

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.

Correct. But ur spouse ask for her birthday present. So I can't deny her.
Lol. Don't layan this bs

That’s why I passed my 256GB to my wife... “Use finish the storage then we upgrade again ya....”

I always buy 64gb and have ixpand with me everywhere. 32gb is too low, 64gb is good enough.

What you put it on? 256gb not enough?

Hahaha, me too. Exactly what I’m looking for in them videos

China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, often shortened to TENAA, is sort of like the FCC of China. Apple has filed many products with the regulatory body over the years, as required, and there is a track record of them being factually accurate, so there's no reason to doubt these latest ones.

Chinese website MyDrivers was first to share the filings, but only provided screenshots. MacRumors uncovered direct links to the filings below.

The filings reveal that the iPhone XS has a 2,658 mAh battery, around 2.2 percent less capacity than the 2,716 mAh battery in the iPhone X that it replaces, despite both being 5.8-inch devices. Nevertheless, with continued performance and power optimizations, Apple's tech specs indicate that the iPhone XS gets up to 30 minutes longer battery life than the iPhone X per charge cycle.

As the largest iPhone ever, the iPhone XS Max naturally has the largest battery capacity of any iPhone ever at 3,174 mAh, according to the filings. That's roughly 16.8 percent larger than the battery in the iPhone X, and 19.4 percent larger than the battery in the iPhone XS. Apple's tech specs indicate that the iPhone XS Max lasts up to 1.5 hours longer than the iPhone X per charge cycle.
