QUOTE(ftan @ Sep 18 2018, 12:22 PM) I’ll probably get the Xs Max gold 64gb. I prefer bigger screen and my storage usage is low. The Xr is tempting though with 6.1 display. Get the Xr first then upgrade to the Xs Max later, coz getting the Xs Max first means you can’t (or rather shouldn’t) downgrade later...  Well, that’s my plan anyways, hehe...

QUOTE(MX510 @ Sep 18 2018, 01:42 PM) I wish i can get dual sim card tray i don't like the idea having an esim Then maybe buy a HK set? Lots of people claim got no issues claiming warranty here, although I personally wouldn't risk it. QUOTE(ftan @ Sep 18 2018, 01:45 PM) Haha. Good idea. Waiting for the official myr price from Apple online Malaysia. Same here, although moving to an Xr from your current X is also considered a downgrade

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Sep 18 2018, 02:41 PM) Im targetting a HK set. Let me know if there is a good deal on Qoo10 or Lazada.  Shouldn't be too difficult, I'm sure T&L will have it sooner rather than later... just keep your fingers crossed for Qoo10's RM400 vouchers

QUOTE(tsg_7 @ Sep 18 2018, 04:26 PM) Seriously worth buying the Xs? Depends what you're currently using and what is your comfortable budget  QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Sep 18 2018, 05:52 PM) Still won't dare the use it naked. Hairline scratches will appear after some time.  Any substrate harder than glass will in fact scratch glass

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Sep 18 2018, 09:45 PM) A good read for those planning to make the jump to the XS or XS Max. Iphone XS and XS Max reviewThis one sums it up perfectly... "But we’ve hit a point where every smartphone is great — it comes down to what you want and what you want to spend." Anyways, I'm sticking to my plan... wait and try the Xr first...

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Sep 19 2018, 12:22 PM) 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.  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

QUOTE(chrischiang @ Sep 19 2018, 05:10 PM) Ahh!! did not see this video earlier... just grab apple x leather case from switch... damn.. gonna pray hard and try does it fit good next week... I think you'd have to be very very observant to notice the gap. Pretty sure all other case manufacturers will just print a sticker for their existing X cases and say "Compatible with the Xs"...

QUOTE(silencer5089 @ Sep 19 2018, 06:03 PM) 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....
