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.

hmm... are there any risks buying a Singapore M1 set (Telco)?
*
After my X OLED incident, I have to warn the buyer that it is not uncommon that you need warranty claim as could be sucks by Samsung OLED quality, so try avoid Sg telco set if u don't live in Sg, after all plenty of other sellers. HK set is slightly diff story, dual physical sim super tempting with Maxis/Digi/Celcom sucks many places, I still think there is hope Apple may support the warranty in Malaysia when it is officially launch, last year it was even thought it is qualcomm model vs our Intel. Have to continue ask Apple and keep the email if any of them claim HK set can claim locally.

Great news this year on Intel GPS, it is working like how Qualcomm does when navigation, 7+ and X on Intel modem were my 2 years nightmare.

My Xs max is having charge gate issue.. HK set with dual sim..

Not just that. I plug in my lightning earpods, nothing.. sound still coming from speaker. Test with my 8plus, surprisingly the earpods work.

Try to plug in the lightning cable to my mac to connect to iTunes, no luck too. But charge is fine, working well except for the charge gate issue.

I hope this is just another software bug that can be fixed in the next update. If not I'm having trouble bringing it to HK for warranty.

Sigh apple, why you do this to me

Sign up the public beta and start using 12.1 beta, it should solve your problem. Public beta is fine to use compare to your current situation.

Do you mean US telco locked sets unlocked using Turbo Sim?

No, it was claimed non turbo sim, RM3699 for new 256GB iPhone X, how to sell the old one?

nope.. im happy with xs... xs max too big for 1 hand operation... in fact quite difficult for 7plus sometimes.. i couldn't imagine xs max

I use reachability a lot in Xs Max when I need to go back on top left and when I need to 'swype' with one hand, i use one hand mode for the keyboard. No doubt it is hard for one hand, still the display, no words can describe.

Look cheap 😱😱😱

Somebody claim that: so it should be locked phone. Anyway all these spoil our 2nd hand value. There are some sellers selling RM3999 new without any claim, not surprise with that price since overseas may sell cheap to clear it, iPhone US, HK always cheaper than Mys and SG.

"Hidden extra cost if Format phone

Ask the person in charge how to do setting after format. They just simply reply go find at shop name hybrid unlock and pay RM50, then never reply again. Guys beware this kind of phone seller, after sales then not willing solve customer issues. And not stated clearly on product details for extra charges and hidden cost."

Being using this since 1st day launch on 2 Xs Max, Divi from Taobao, cheap and damn good quality, come with the plastic guide for installation, never being easier, using 3 weeks weeks now, near perfect. RM24 for 2 because buy 1 free 1 except shipment if you buy multiple things, this just tumpang.

I thinking buy the soft wrap screen protector for back glass that will cover the stainless steel partly one
*
The stainless steel for my 2 X really lousy, always in casing still plenty of scratches, soft wrap may help to protect, but make sure don't buy for front as it is sticky to silicon case if u happen to put 2 phones together in your pocket. Not elegant look from front as well.

Most of the time when new gen of ip come out esp s version people will say no diff la and etc. However when i try myself and compare, i really can feel the difference.

Xs Max is my 11th iPhone, every year there is improvement, this year is huge due to the super nice and huge OLED display and superb camera, best part is GPS is fixed by Intel on their 3rd year with Apple, that's very important for me who uses Waze. Bad part always the start up cost and next year selling price, rugi teruk.

One way the other, I sold my 7+ 128GB last year at Rm2900, my friend sold his RM1560 this year which is different of RM1340, so not really bad idea sell it every year while people still willing to pay for 1 year old phone. At least I have peace of mind on warranty, I really dip my Xs Max inside the pool without worries due to IP68(much improved under water) and of course with warranty.

iPhone 2G, skip iPhone 3G. I haven't taken more than 1 week to sell my iPhone, X considered the hardest, take a week to sell 2. My iPhone 7+ takes less than 12 hours to sell 2 at RM2900 each. biggrin.gif

You seems so confident with the IP68 rating. Even Apple does not cover water damage warranty.

would not recommend bring the phone into the pool unless manufacturer covers water damage in warranty.
*
Ya, I am aware the risk, I watch the video even at 15m(45ft) the iPhone Xs Max still survive without any damage, IP68 can submerge 2meter of water for 30 minutes and was told during the Keynote it is ok to drop inside the pool for a while. Ya I am ready to take that risk, after all that's what it is for.

Being spill with water since 7+, so far ok. Level 8 for water should be very good design else the product won't be given with this level. One thing bad is the phone stop working on camera/video when inside the pool, may need to get a thin case for that purpose.

Spoke to my friend in Digi. They are getting the dealer price and RRP this week. So they are already working on the packages to be introduced for the Iphones. So I think it is confirmed to be on the 26th October.

26 Oct is launch or pre-order? If launch means this Friday is pre-order night.
