How come in market all HK set , what i mean is nobody bother to bring CN set ? Both any difference in band ?

HK and China sets share the same network bands. T&L pick HK set because in HK, gadgets are tax free and hence cheaper. Charger is 3 pin like ours vs China's 2 pin. puke.gif

Top notch service. Any issue within 7 days when the product arrives, call them. They will immediately send a courier to ur doorstep and pick up. And will send u a new sealed set.

Also they can overwrite whatever crap diagnostic that resellers made( eg commonly happen - blame u for the issue, void the warranty.) if Apple say bring it in, reseller must obey. No objection will be entertained.

Is there really beauty gate? or just overhype from the Internet?

How do you find battery life? Another Forbes article saying the Max fares not so well in battery life compared to Note 9

Really tempted with this one. I could get xs 256gb for 4899 (with coupon) instead of 5699(apple price). I would save rm 800 if I were to buy from them!

It's basically just the same as the apple malaysia store version.

Skill a little bit skeptical though. Been told it is not covered by apple malaysia even though they said it is covered by apple malaysia.

And apple warranty is not for accidental damage  and only 1 year right. So I do not think that the warranty is that important though

i bought from them...really pray they dont mess up the my first time experience with them

Yeah, I'm using this. https://rhinoshield.io/pages/shop/Apple?dev...s-max-back-skin

But it doesn't cover entirely la, just the flat areas only and made my care a bit more snug fit now.. and camera has more clearance when lay flat haha.

I would say the battery life is quite good for me. I can get 7 hours screen time from full charge to around 10%

Hahaha, if I do sell, it’s because I’m probably regretting now that I didn’t pick a 256GB instead (so it can last a couple of years longer for my wife later on). Then again, looking at what the HK sets cost now, I think I got mine at a steal smile.gif
iPhones are expensive in China. That’s why you see many Chinese buying from Apple Store Orchard Road!

Same scenario at Shinjuku-Ku Apple store,
Observed most buyer are from China ( noticed their slang and passport laid on the table )

thinking to buy USA set, at around RM5.6k for MAX 256GB,
is there any difference USA and Malaysia set?

Im using US set as well. From which state you get urs? Seems a little bit high. I got mine at 5.17k.

So far no problem except true tone is more warmer compare to my lcd iPhone 8 screen..

Btw any Hk set have the same problem on it? Or the True Tone yellow tone same as lcd? Can’t do any comparison atm, my place no iPhone Xs yet 😪
