based on 4 years trend, our pricing have been following singapore pricing. Compared to before, we are much2 cheaper than our neighbour. Thus i would expect the price would be almost similar to the current pricing of IpX.


moral of the stories Ive learned from my previous IpX is not to get the phone during launch.And we get our Malaysian launch quite fast. The iphone x still got stocks even after 2 weeks of launch in singapore, and the stocks available in Malaysia after that. And the best thing was lazada having massive discount with iphone x. GG


Good luck everyone.

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.

So buying from sg again?
*
nah... ive learned my mistake. no urge to get the ipxs early. its still the same ipx. thus will get it around 11/11 during lazada sale. there might be a rm300 discount code. last time promo during 11/11 was huge.. 5.2k drop to 4.9. and then another discount drop to 4.2k thats 1k savings.

So there you go. dont ever buy during launch day.

Buying from Lazada and not from Apple store?

Yes yes. Lazada is already an authorised seller. And we dont have apple store by the way. Those machines, mac city etc are authorized seller.

Im pretty mad and really dissappointed with apple this time.

Not much changes, but yet in the ads they keep using ‘significant’ and ‘most advance’ word

Price still the same, i wonder why did they discontinue ipX last time if they r still selling with the same price

And now no adapter n slowest charger of all?

I’m trully dissappointed n ipX seems to me now is the best iphone there is, n u can get it cheaper once ipXs is available here
*
Nahhh. Nothing new. Ive disappointed since iphone x

the reason apple is so confident with this latest iphone is due to no other phone with iOs system...even though no significant improvement from X model

Indeed. And what ever they start, everyone will follow not limited to hp manufacture but also telco

is funny how you guys are rushing for the pre-order and flying down to SG/HK just to get a unit, all I had to do is just walk to 5th Avenue Apple flagship store at NYC on Friday after work and there will be plenty of stock waiting.

thats not really a funny statement..

SG/HK is far from US.

And SG got plenty of stocks too..

not sure. saw space grey still great.. but of course, people will want something different than iphone x. thus they might opt for gold more than space grey.

Why would China set has different chip and parts, and water resistance will not be as good due to dual sim slot?  hmm.gif

This is going to be good... rolleyes.gif
You do know that no matter where you buy your iphone from, it will still be made in the same factory in China right? 

When Apple claims the Xs and Xs Max are IP68, then the phone has to pass certain tests to qualify it for IP68 compliancy. So unless you are doubting Apple QC controls.  whistling.gif

Do you know that using different chip and parts will actually increase the costs of production as Apple will have to come up with different parts for phones of different regions, as you claimed.

The dual sim slot is similar to your normal sim slot, only that it is made to accomodate two sims on on top and on on the bottom. Many android phones are already dual sim already.
The only difference I could think of between phones of different regions would be network bandwidth. But I will have to wait for the spec sheet to come out first before confirming.
