How many of you users had poor reception vs say previous iPhones such as X, ip8 , ip7 etc?? Apple even considering replacing such defective sets?

I enquired with them, they only sell open box set at that price  sad.gif
I read earlier in the thread that Telco sets are normally open box so that would explain the low price.
*
I am fine with open box as long as phone is unused and comes with full year warranty
Bought few times such sets

the app is under android or Iphone? can you guide me the process?

Full instructions here
https://www.backuptrans.com/android-whatsapp-transfer.html

Both phones need connection to either PC or Mac
Read properly and download correct version : Android to iPhone as there is another iPhone to Android version
You get 3 licence, meaning can use up to 3 different iPhones
Is worth the money if transfer is important. Trial version I recalled allows only 20 messages transfer

Guys I am new to buying Iphones. Need opinions

What do you guys think about this one?
https://www.11street.my/productdetail/origi...no-sim-67640070

Cheaper than retail right? Is it original and exactly like the ones people buy at retail? Anything I should consider if I wanna buy from here?

Thanks!

I'm doing the transfer all day yesterday but at the end of the process, crash. So many times. Tired edi. Lost my whatsapp message from 2014 and my money for buying the license. Sigh. Still thinking want to proceed again but i don't know. Feel like same thing happen.

My last transfer about 10gb data went smoothly
I had used this software 2X before that
BTW I suggest you disable first all security steps in phones ( eg fingerprint, pattern or face recognition)

What do you think about note 9 is better or max is better for coverage your daily usage?

I didn't owned any Samsung phone before, I can't tell.
If compare to xiaomi I will say that Iphone MAX more advanced
*
I had said before I am a pro Android user
I had used all the iPhone series till ip8+ ( except 5s) and seriously i am yet impressed with the iPhone. However most of my Androids are high end ones
Even my budget Huawei Nova 2i I felt more comfortable using it vs ip8+. It only doesn't feel as smooth vs ip8+. But this cost only rm800+
I haven't got the Xs Max yet and will respond on this later
Xiaomi I had used before are the mi max 1,2 and mi mix 1, 2 only
Is more reasonable to compare amongst phones with closer value to the xs Max
The Max is a very expensive phone and it had better be worth it's price !!

so much drama on T&L deliveries ...
My opinion on this : Once you received a GDEX tracking number it DOES NOT necessarily mean the parcel is already in GDEX hands. That is why sometimes you cannot see the record in GDEX website. Getting a GDEX tracking just shows the parcel is ready for delivery
And once the GDEX updates its site, again it DOES NOT mean you will get the parcel the next day
GDEX doesn't handle your parcel only. Just be patient and wait 2 to 3 days for it to be delivered over
If you cannot wait just called the GDEX local receiving center and tell them you will go over and self collect
