The X was launched late November in Malaysia last year. 24th November, to be exact.
Yeah, waiting to see what's the price gonna be from the retailers. Apple online has removed it from the official listing so no more official pricing laugh.gif
Same here, eyeing the Xr too. Too many color choices though! What would you guys pick?
*
hoping it drop to 4.5k for 256gb then no brainer

QUOTE(Porie @ Sep 13 2018, 09:34 AM)
Yes, 'S' version of iphones have no substantial upgrade from their previous version.

It is known.
*
at least for 5s, touch id.. 6s force touch..

not too much for xs.. only new thing i think is you can adjust bokeh level after capture a photo... i see the announcement did not even mention more and low light performance...

i wondering why they call it Max instead of plus...

now i can think one...

XS Max = get the Max money from you
*
the naming plus which mean there are more feature/better spec for plus model..

max i think because same spec with normal size with just bigger display...

just my thought

Bro.. U will be going back to stoneage with the 720p screen and single camera with the XR. laugh.gif

U sure u wanna do that?  rolleyes.gif  and pay good money for it too. With the larger screen of the XR, the low res of the screen would really b noticeable.
*
i guess those who wait for XR, better dont get during pre-order... wait for hands on demo unit.. and see with your own eyes.. are you ok with the low res...

QUOTE(attw @ Sep 18 2018, 08:10 AM)
Yup, the plan is to upgrade to the next iPhone flagship next year when I sign a new contract with maxis. Besides, I wanna test the phone's endurance - Apple claims it lasts 1.5 hours more than the 8 Plus, which should be very impressive!
*
probably yes... because 8plus was full HD screen, surely consume more battery...

i am waiting for huge discount on X model...but not sure how low will it get to...

and also 64Gb or 256Gb...which to choose since we can upload photos + videos onto google drive and icloud
*
if you eyeing on x.. better get it fast.. once the comparison video is out.. i guess x will be sold out pretty soon...

i just order 1 for myself.. slightly lower than 4999... upgrade from 7plus.. will use X while waiting for next year iphone...

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"...

i see 2 youtube video... both saying the camera lens there slightly packed when fix in X case to XS...

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...

QUOTE(Benefon @ Sep 20 2018, 08:18 AM)
Get XR will be better choices
*
That price.. top up a lil get the iphone x now..

QUOTE(skyp @ Sep 20 2018, 09:46 AM)
Anyone getting XS?
Seems like most ppl go for either XR or XS Max.
*
i getting xs.. using 7plus now.. 1 hand operation is hard.. i cant imaging for xs max.. so i ordered xs space grey..

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.
*
QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Sep 20 2018, 11:14 AM)
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.
*
yes. you can bring up as many T&C you like.. but the fact is.. Apple do let you claim warranty for Aus set/Hk set for past Iphone..

Support from Apple also confirmed that.. If you want a copy of chat transcript.. i'd happy to attach..

Can you please attach a copy of the transcript stating that Apple let you claim warranty for Aus set/Hong Kong Set?

The conversation below with Apple Support confirmed that there is NO WARRANTY  for Hong Kong iPhone XS MAX dual sim in Malaysia.

take the speaker hole.. you will see non identical and extra antenna line

I bet Maxis will be the first to widen their esim tech.

hopefully other phone manufacturer follow apple foot step again go with esim.. then esim will be common like nanosim...

QUOTE(xisan @ Sep 23 2018, 11:01 PM)
Im using the 29W usb-c charger to charge my iP XS Max.
From 19% to 75% in just 38 minutes. But the phone is warmer than normal. Understandable for the fast charging intake.

Using my cheapo remax cable wont charge, dont know why.
*
yup..mine too.. since ios 11.3.1.. after market type-c cable not able to fast charge.. only apple ori cable can as of now..

ooo...noted bro. i thought esim is just like the regular sim(s), where it is applicable for all type of device  confused.gif

not something that easy.. like our neighbor country singtel provide esim for apple watch, whenthey being asked about esim support for new iPhones. They just said they will work with Apple to introduce the service.

i guess esim for watch cannot directly use in phone..
