so fast V3... havent launch officially pun...

macam yes??

Proud owner of XS max 256GB now.

Now need to get TG and some cases.

Huh, cepatnya V3... on the day we found out the official MY launch date and prices....

attw, I plan to get the Xs max 64gb gold. I don’t think it will be a frenzied sale this time round. I will go survey around next weekend.

Ok cool, yeah, I’m quite sure you can take your time and hunt for good deals - maybe 11.11 sale?

Grats on ur new max bro!

Ui..whats the code to tagged user name here?

Thanks bro.

To tag, use [ @ userID ], without the spaces.

Cool AppleCare is workable in SG, will add mine within 60 days.

Wow ! V3 !

I seem to recall someone said Macstudio Paradigm Mall already has XS/XS max accessories? Is this true?

lol i am worry about the warranty now....

Camera shootout between the XS Max and Note 9

https://gsmarena.com/apple_iphone_xs_max_vs...review-1837.php

Yes bro. Spoke to the Apple Online CS and she told me the same thing too. Get Apple Care from Apple Sg for our HK sets. Btw, how much is Applecare from Apple.sg?

368 for fortune 🔮

Almost Rm1.1k. I think not neccessary then.

Can buy Mi A2 128gb already 😂😂

If accidentally damage more worth it for 368

It's still considered expensive according to Singaporean standards...

The thing is worth or not worth?
After iphone 12 more advanced, definitely change again.

Thanks bro

Malaysia can also ka bro? Sorry if i missed the train lately :/

Singapore set can claim warranty in malaysia? Sg set got like mcmc lock? Cause all Sg set selling in malaysia all is telco set?

So fast and noticed price is touching 5000 for the cheapest model.
Hello XR LOL

No, you can't get Apple Care for iPhones in Malaysia, although you can for Macs and iPads

X also around that price also what

Anyone using the free TG? Is it okay? Btw any placr where i can get back protector or TG for my max?

Me me...they said they have TH for max, RM99 but the brand is something like I-freed or something...so I didn’t get it..

Btw Gratz to all who have collected their iPhones today!!

I’m using it, cutting perfect for a non border...but kinda finger print magnet and no oleophobic....I’m using it temporary until I get the hoda

Got mine, wife super happy now. No dent. With TG n travel adapter.

Btw how to backup or transfer from older iphone 6 when iCloud is full?

Plug usb via iTunes then back up to computer, and plug into new iPhone and restore from the back up

Congrats !

X cheapest was 5149 last year

Seriously what is you guys talking about TG TG stand for what?

Tempered glass bro!

Btw paradigm mall Mac studio carry 2 brands for XS Max TG, iFend and Unique..both rm99, not quite familiar with the brand...

Always a Hoda fans....

This was taken from another thread : Hotlink eSim?

e-Sim available for Maxis Postpaid....

Since when maxis offer eSim for postpaid lol..

Maybe they will with the new iPhones

Well that was posted on oct 12 don’t think maxis offers eSim for postpaid now right?

This post has been edited by dikae: Oct 16 2018, 08:28 PM

Went to Switch @ Sunway Pyramid yesterday and the casings for xs and xs max are already on the shelf. Not sure about TG though. Forgot to check that out

I wanna buy by this month. Someone wants my IPX already and there is still >1 month warranty left. I’m starting to get interested in shopping for the phone and accessories. Hehe.

How is your phone so far? Congrats on getting it today.

2By2 Mobile has a matte sp and tg for the back.

I was at The Gardens Machine and they didnt have anything for the Iphone Xs and Xs Max yet... The staff there told me its because the phone is not launched yet with one kind of look.

Anyone knows why this is so? Just let it available for everyone already! Or Apple thinks we in Bolehland are super careful with our phones..?

This post has been edited by rebus: Oct 16 2018, 09:18 PM

You can buy Applecare for your HK or Sg set but it has to be from Apple Sg. For claims, and service, you still have to send your phone back to Sg.

This post has been edited by TOMEI-R: Oct 16 2018, 09:19 PM

I guess the simple answer would be we have not enough in numbers of iphones sold in Malaysia. So to Apple, our market is still very small and hence no need for such service. We are not even in the first and second wave of launch for the phone.

Well, that's because not yet officially launch ma, and also technically, eSIM not supported yet by the new iPhones till iOS 12.1 if not mistaken...

Ahh, Ok, nice. If not mistaken, you'd want a flip case right?
Ya, my phone was delivered today but I haven't "received" it yet coz I'm actually away on a business trip at the moment and won't be back till Friday. so the phone is still sitting nicely in the box

Did you flash your Xs Max at them and have another priceless moment? Hehehe...

I also went to Machines in Sunway Pyramid and they don’t have any accessories for xs and xs max. I guess Machines will only display those accessories after the phone is launched in Malaysia

So for those who have collected their iPhone today, everything good so far? No complaints?

you have a point. oh well positive side, at least we get to know what gates- are every year before launching here.

No bro. But by the look he gave me, I think he knows I have one in my pockets already.
But the best was at Citibank DP 2 weeks ago when I was complaining that the Citibank app didnt work. So the reception reffered me to a CS who straightaway went on babling about how we need to download the app from Appstore and install it on our phones (Duh, like we dont know how to do that). She then showed me her Iphone X and went on to show me how hers is working bla bla bla.. before asking me what Iphone I was using. Needless to say when I showed her the phone and told her I replaced the phone she was holding with the new Xs Max, it was another Mastercard moment..."Priceless".
Anyway, my problem was not solved and she went on babling that the Phone is still not launched and so the app is not compatible with the phone etc. I told her off that the phone has been launched around the world amd Citibank being a global bank should have been ready for it.
Anyway, the Citibank app has been updated now and is up and running.

Don't know...

I'm away on the.... longest.... business..... trip..... of.... my..... life.....

Hope it was a pretty CS you were hitting on though

off topic, Mate 20 Pro just launched - identical twin of IPX, no?

Our own Lyn marketplace seller Sakurazz, IGadget LYP, CKY Store, 2By2 Mobile and MyGadget all have backcovers and tgs for the Xs and Xs Max.

I wont be paying Rm1.2k for Applecare even if they have it here anyway.

Nope, not pretty. There is one at SC KD which is though....

I'm using RhinoShield's back protector... I think no need put better haha...

Why bro...btw where is my free rhinoshield tg?

This post has been edited by TOMEI-R: Oct 16 2018, 10:28 PM

So the CS gave me a lot of suggestions on how to fix the bubble... but lets see haha.

I'll check em out tomorrow. Thanks!

So far no complaints. Box in good condition, no scratches. Just need to wary of the warranty.

If its still unopened box, probably wanna letgo your HK set to me?? Local MY set is just around the corner haha

Why? I always put it on all my phone. So that I feel better.

Doesn't look that nice with it tho... I'm using clear case.

Oh. I think back TG shud be okay. Will contact 2by2 mobile as suggest by TOMEI-R

Hmm even my film type also made my case tighter than without, if the glass type need choose case carefully I guess.

Is your back film matte or clear?

Haha he will probably sell you at cost price 4799, since he always wanna get rid of it

Speaking of that, anyone here put like clear sticker at the back to protect the phone before use cover? And is there any case yet the bezel chip off? Because the material looks like its gonna chip of after long term use

Wew..quite hectic..ok bro..understand

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

Any advantage preorder or buying tru apple website? Compare to buy at switch or machines...

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

Hey guys finally received it. But I’m not sure if my set has problem as sometimes csnnot take call it’ll say call failed any idea? Once you restart this problem go away . Any advice

https://www.11street.my/productdetail/origi...no-sim-67640070

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

Is USA set and warranty coverage here is always uncertain
This seller doesn't have good ratings from some buyers here
Buy with caution!!

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


iPhones are expensive in China. That’s why you see many Chinese buying from Apple Store Orchard Road!

The only responsible seller seem so far is the much experienced importer T&L. They tel u outright send back to them so they help claim warranty. Didn’t lie on “malaysia Apple can support” BS. So I will say go for trustworthy and proven seller. The price u r paying is not cheap to be conned by a seller due to warranty.

Yes, some already complain of chipping and scratches on the side bezels.

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.

Yes. 1 to 1 exchange if the need arises. No questions asked.

Try resetting network settings.

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.

So far my max okay. No dents no chipped on the bezel. Charge okay, speaker okay, beauty gate cannot avoid right?

Any other issues should i check on?

Btw any idea how to protect the side bezel? I dont want mobile outfitters. Too expensive when i normally okay with it to cover my back and bezel sides only. Front i prefer TG

Read somewhere in this forum China set one cannot use FaceTime??

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? wonder why? security reason? thought FT only banned in Middle East.

If you don’t mind to pay extra cost from HK set, shall you go first.
After having the set please feedback with FaceTime is it work with audio.

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

I'm using RhinoShield Scratch Guard Back Film: iPhone XS Max (0.14mm), clear type.

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.

Maybe wrap it to look like a piece of wood?

No, not true. Was in Beijing earlier in the year. No issues with FaceTime or iMessage.

Were you using China iPhone??
