QUOTE(fadzly @ Sep 13 2018, 07:35 PM) but the pricing for that scalpers reasonable i would say. my cost for an iphone x at launch in singapore was RM5.4k +RM 300 lost for fake Courts Advertisement (refund lost due to currency devaluation) + Park at orchard road RM20 + Mcdonalds meals for three RM50 + toll and ERP ~ RM70 and at that time currency was S$1 = RM3.1, his pricing for 3.2 was reasonable I would say. And not to forget the experienced I had during the purchased with 100% check over my car at the border, and i was detained for 30 minutes and need to give urine at the narcotics unit for giving the real reason on why i went to Singapore and I said, i came here just to buy an iPhone which was not satisfied by a young rookie narcotic officer. Thank god, i was not inside the lockup. Wow ! What an ordeal to get your phone !

QUOTE(hafiziza @ Sep 20 2018, 02:25 PM) I also ordered from Mobile2Go. Just got a call from them. They are now offering Sg set which will be available on Sat instead of HK set which will only be available next Tue. Immediately accepted the offer for Sg set. QUOTE(Dio Escobar @ Sep 20 2018, 03:12 PM) just received the same phone call and i made the same decision too  Why choose SG set over the HK set with the double nano SIM card phone ?

Meanwhile in singapore right now... https://mothership.sg/2018/09/apple-fans-qu...launch-orchard/[attachmentid=10033051] [attachmentid=10033052] [attachmentid=10033053]  Why queue overnight when there’s no free gift, no special discount in price ?

QUOTE(attw @ Sep 20 2018, 07:44 PM) Interestingly the Xs has a slightly smaller battery than the X... The slight reduction in capacity is unusual, considering the iPhone XS and iPhone X are the same size. But Apple claimed that the iPhone XS offer a longer battery life, with the device capable of 30 more minutes of usage time than the iPhone X.  Perhaps due to the new chip A12 Bionic.

QUOTE(xisan @ Sep 23 2018, 08:23 PM) Now let's hope Apple MY/SG can claim for HK set here  Also hope dual space/clone app will be available soon. So that can use dual whatsapp for this phone. Hope so too. HK set looks like a more probable set for me too. Is it a Dual Active or Dual Standby SIM phone ?

QUOTE(xisan @ Sep 23 2018, 09:38 PM) No, I bought from Directd this time. As they have ready stock very fast! 1 day after the 1st wave released. Does DirectD offer you warranty for any problems occurred with the phone as like T&L did for the IPhone XS Max ? Or do you have to try to get warranty from Apple? Thanks.

QUOTE(xisan @ Sep 23 2018, 10:04 PM) Warranty by them and I don't know if they will fix themselves or send to HK back for warranty; I don't mind each one as long as it's under warranty. For now, Apple will say can't claim it here as it's not available yet. I will wait for a better answer after the official. So it seems that DirectD, T&L. offering the same kind of warranty for the HK set - Warranty from them. Thanks for info. Yeah, hope that Apple will cover the warranty here for HK set too.

QUOTE(xisan @ Sep 23 2018, 10:13 PM) In the receipt, it's not state the normal AP phone TnC warranty. Like 1 year for transceiver, 3 months for battery/screen/etc. Not stating that. So I assume they will send it back to Apple HK for warranty. In my Mi 8 Explorer Edition, it does state that on the receipt. Good if they send it back to HK for warranty. Hassle is that it will be time consuming. Thanks for the additional info.
