Anyone remember for last year, which day they make announcement on Malaysia launch date?

Last year, they announced the 8 Plus on October 4th, launched on the 20th.

The X was later in November.

Considering if they do launch on the 26/10 this year, it would be one whole month earlier.  rclxms.gif

Cannot compare with the X bro, must compare with the 8/8 Plus since the X also launched later in US.

Guys, can you help me to choose between Iphone XS and Galaxy S9. I've been using 6s for couple of years before. And right now i need new phone. I understand that XS is a new model with a lot of advantages, but it's price is quite big. I can affford s9 for that price and safe some money. What do you think about that?
*
How deeply invested are you in iOS? If you're not, then yeah, you easily can get an Android flagship phone for easily half the price of the XS, so I would echo what the others suggested, go with the phone that won't break your bank.

yes it feels different buying online and buying from retail, especially on the first few days after launch  biggrin.gif but have to suffer the pain now... haha

luckily this year's iphone is the same design as the x, but bigger version.... still can resist temptation a little...doubt I can tahan next year.. lol

Next year only cerita next year punya, hehe... for now lets wait and see when we'll get our official launch date...

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Oct 5 2018, 12:59 PM)
Tbh I've lost that feel since the Iphone 7. I have went early and queued before at Maxis, Digi, Capsquare and AASPs. But now, not so much as Iphone prices have risen past affordability for most. You can see that there is even not much hype around the world and even in China and Sg. If there is really demand for this round's Iphones, I dont think T&L would be able to bring in so many units for sale here. I highly suspect our units were actually scalper units horded by syndicates in Hong Kong but when the hype didnt materialise, they had to get rid of it. Someonehow, T&L coupled with Qoo 10 managed to disposed around 88 units from their stocks in Hong Kong and that is a lot to stocks sold and money recovered.
*
That's true. A lot of scalpers getting burned this round, but serves them right smile.gif Well, there was some hype at Apple Orchard but that could have been "artificial". On the plus side, they all got a Huawei powerbank smile.gif

Hardly surprising as the XS has a smaller battery. Should have gone for the XS Max

Just sharing, I managed to sell my 2 units o X 256GB at Rm3900 each, Xs Max is my 11th iPhone, start selling my iPhone since iPhone 2G,this is one of the worst demand and longest time(1 week). For those who can't wait for local launch or have budget constraint, iPhone X is selling cheap at 11street and shopee where 256GB is <4K but i am fishy about those who ask to goto setting to unlock but the buyers are happy anyway.

Challenging this year, and will be worse next year for Xs Max as not many willing to fork out >4K to buy a used phone. I learn my lesson well  I should be patient a bit to buy online emarket or scrapper next year, Sg Apple Store too pricy for resale next year even though i have worry free of warranty claim(one of my X OLED died within 2 hours when it starts flicking), it would cost Rm1565(outside even more pricy at Rm1600) to change.

Having it 1st day of launch is nice, but very high price to pay esp 2x.
*
Out of Curiosity though, when did you sell you X, 256GB? 3900 is still a pretty good price!

A week ago, base on the emarket pricing, yes 3900 is good pricing, it is not easy to sell at this price, I remember I get no response when I first place my price 4.2k, start got buyers at 3950 pricing at Mudah, lowyat forum as always no buyers.
*
Like you observed bro, it's quite hard to convince someone to part with 4k or close to it for a used phone, regardless of the phone's orginal value, especially now that the phone has been officially discontinued and received a massive price cut. My wife is currently still using my iPhone X 256GB which I bought at RM4,888 during Lazada's CNY sale. When it's time to sell it, I'm probably only looking at 3k-3.3k max (if I'm lucky).

I think it's far worse over at the Android camp... The Note 9 which launched at RM3,699 just two months ago is now going for RM2738... Can't imagine trying to sell a second hand Note 9 now...

Phone prices have been going up a little too high these days, and as it is with cars, the higher the price, the greater the depreciation.

Yeah, the X and the Xs seems to be the sweet spot for single-handed operation, just a pity about the smallish battery.
