Xr is starting pre-order today 3pm at Singapore apple website.
This is depend on your budget and like.
If previously having the X, probably go with the XS Max feel like slightly difference.

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.

This is Apple bro. Not Potong Proton.
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.
*
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...

iPhone 4 resolution is 960x640 while iPhone XR is 1792×828. They share the same PPI but not resolution. For someone who owns iPhone X like me, of course it is quite impossible to go back to LCD screen with 326 ppi quality. But I don't think XR screen will look bad. I compare iPhone X and iPhone 8 screen few days back, it is not hell of the different just OLED looks warmer.

XR is actually quite a good pricing for one that want to goto FaceID design with full screen designer, much more affordable, to me it is good for those with budget constraint. It has upside and downside compare to 8+ last year as Apple upgrade XR from 8 instead 8+ which make XS/XS Max buyer looks great. I am sure it is the best value for money and losses the least when one want to upgrade a year or so later.

Sure you can watch 1080p with screen resolution less than 1080p, I watch 4k video on my ipad pro when my ipad pro is not near to 4k as well.

No offend bro, just sharing my different point of view.

I can't wait to get myself XS Max tomorrow but it is a burn to my pocket as I am sure I can't sell iPhone X as close I sold my 7+, 6S+ etc.. like previous years. Losses expected close to 2k each phone.

Yes you can watch but cant watch it with 1080p video, you cant even toggle 1080p video in youtube, max only 720p

No worries thumbup.gif

You have a point there. Might as well get the XS if you could afford it or get an Iphone 8 for that money.

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

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.

Xr is out of topic because couldn't support 1080p.
Shall see what's the best deal I can get for ipX

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.

The only way to get ipX is from reseller.
Apple store not longer selling, rarely see them discontinue flagship that fast.
I guess have to wait for better online deal, maybe cheaper by rm 2k hehehe.
