Still waiting. Hope the price is good!
It's either U Mobile or Maxis for me.

I hope they do some really good promo. Else, I might have to pass.
64GB is too small for XS because of the better camera now.. I need a 256GB ...

In maxis, I opted for monthly payment.. but now that I think further, I can save if I pay upfront. I wonder if I can change this during collection next week? Have anyone have any experience with this before?

that's why i wonder i ask you ma cause you pre ordered?  laugh.gif  cause it stated monthly installment for the device with Zero Upfront Payment, Credit Card & Interest Rate..  hmm.gif

For iPhone XS Max 256GB, if I pay monthly, it is $200/month for 24 month - so it is $5280
But upfront payment is $4658 device price.. unless this part is not true and haven't add other costs.. I am not sure.

Anyway... $622 difference is quite big.. If can pay upfront, might as well save some money blink.gif

So, I managed to call 123 - they say that even if you have place a pre order, someone will call you to confirm your selection. If I needed to change from monthly to upfront payment, I can do so at that time.. niceee!

It seems the iPhones are still available? Not so popular ... or maybe too expensive?

Yeah, their silicon case also doesn’t cover the bottom. I remember the 6 Plus silicon case is the same.

looks really nice, despite the exposure at the bottom.
Have you used the leather case before? I wonder how it age over time. Does it peel off or age gracefully like a wallet?

Stupid question - does anyone think you are crazy for spending so much on a phone? That seems to be the reaction I see around my colleague when the pre-order page was up. They were like, OMG! such crazy price.. those people must be mad.. and I am like (quietly to myself), uh huh, I just pre ordered. I am not sure what people will think next week after I collected it!

Lovely leather!! I used that before during my iPhone 7, the only thing I don't like is it's slippery when holding, so have to careful. Now I am a fan of Apple Silicon case smile.gif

Apple doesn’t support Quick Charge, so you’ll need the USB C PD (Power Delivery) adapter with a USB C to Lightning cable

This is the MacBook Pro charger, right?

Still torn between Spigen case $129 in Lazada and Apple Leather $199. For $70 difference Leather seems to be a better option.

haha... I start worrying about Celcom already hahahahaha.

First call, 300 not refundable. Second call, 300 advance payment will rebate next month.

I ask about if current I am Digi want to port in to Celcom. Is it same RM300 like the current Celcom user?

Then, the people ask me hold on.

After hold on, dudududu....

One time I was pretty pissed off with maxis and wanted to change telco. I called Celcom hotline and asked the person what are the packages and procedure to change telco and he wasn't able to tell me exactly what I need to do. And when I probed further, he sounded unsure. That interaction made me stick with maxis. At least when I complained to maxis 123, they can tell me what to do and that they understand me sweat.gif
