I think mainly cause HK doesn't have tax for electronics right? As I know stuffs like camera lens also cheaper there.

Now... I need to look for a friend who is flying to HK... rclxm9.gif

Its like LED/LCD TVs...we never know the difference unless we compare them side by side. I bet most 8 Plus and X owners still agree that their phones take awesome photos.

But I’m curious about the warranty though, since the dual sim is different from the eSIM one we’ll receive here.

I chose to get it from T&L as they provide seller warranty (send back to Apple HK) IF local AASP doesn't honor the warranty for HK set. BTW my set status already updated to 'preparing for shipment'. Should receive by next week.

Yeah, from T&L should be OK. If the official MY price is not much different from HK I might go down that route too.

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.

MY price for iphone xs will be most likely around 4800, 5149 is the price with 6% gst. so now sst should be lower. now duno wan all the way to get 256 or just 64gb..

Yes i am aware about the GST, but what about the new SST? Is mobile phone get taxed for SST?

If the new iphone is your only or primary phone, get the 256gb. I chose 64gb cos I already have a note 9 512gb as my daily driver.

Yes, 5% vs GST 6%. Doubt there is a significant difference in terms of the selling price if the iPad prices are any indication.
