Jangan. We despise scalpers in these threads. One person can buy 2 units max. Thats the rules.

Actually it's not unusual. They reduced the iPhone 8 Plus battery capacity to 2691mAh from iPhone 7 Plus 2900mAh, claiming the A11 was more efficient, but real life tests revealed the 7 Plus outlasts the 8 Plus.

Maybe the Xs has better efficiency since it's a single piece L shape battery vs the 2-piece setup of the X

No matter what they claim, nothing can defy physics. A bigger capacity battery will outlast a smaller capacity battery no matter what manufacturers claim. The tech here is to come up with larger capacity batteries, but in a similar size.

i made the decision to get from T&L instead of waiting for MY set is bcos i looked back at last year ipX launch.

In US, ipX 64gb was sold at $999 , while in MY it was RM5149. I assume the new XS starting price ($999) will take the RM5149 slot in MY, compare to the XS max T&L selling at RM5349 (after Rm150 coupon) is consider reasonable and cheap.

When is the expected delivery date from T&L?

A standard reply by T&L : 5 to 7 working days. I expect it to reach me by next Thursday or Friday. I'm being positive lol.

Anyway, good choice on getting a dual sim HK unit. Pointless to get an esim unit as it wont be usable here, at least for now.

One more concrete excuse to get an XS Max now---- Dual sim standby on an Iphone. tongue.gif attw

how about the warranty though? do you think it works here in Malaysia?
*
I do not think Apple.my will honour the warranty of HK sets. But T&L did mention that they are giving warranty for it, which include sending your unit back to Apple.hk if AASPs here dont honour the warranty. T&L is quite a reputable dealer, so yeah, I think its ok to purchase from them.

Even in Sg if they able to replace with single sim, would you accept it?

I did RMA'ed an Iphone 6 from SG and when my seed unit came back, it had a serial no of MY meaning it was replaced with a Malaysian seed unit.

true that, but anything could happen here... especially resellers tend to reject anything out of the norm..... #bolehland

Cant blame the AASPs too. They are only Apple Authorized Resellers and Service centers. If everybody buys overseas sets and be able claim their overseas sets here, there is no point in them investing and opening their showrooms and service centers here. Its a totally different situation in Singapore and Hong Kong as Apple has their own stores and service centers there.

Simple. How many units can be sold here? If we have the numbers, Malaysia would be upgraded to first tier launch country like they did with China.

Isn't the price standard as per RRP as the retailer at Changi is an AASP?

Changi got tax deduction about 5% gst.

I thought is 7% gst?

QUOTE(attw @ Sep 21 2018, 06:33 PM)
I think if you buy at the retailer (iStudio) at Changi Airport itself, the phone is tax exempt so it's minus 7% directly
