After spending 4.8k on both my iPhone X and XS Max each, I've reached a realization that no phone is worth above RM4k. So yeah, no more buying iPhones above RM4k outright for me too smile.gif

I think the qns should be if this is so obvious in terms of price competition, why not ppl just go for the better value choice instead? 😜

No doubt we get more love from Samsung and Huawei than we do from Apple - especially here in Bolehland laugh.gif

Coz if they are invested in the iOS ecosystem, they don't really have a choice - unless if they buy previous gen devices, which I might do as well laugh.gif

The only product I’m not convinced would be the Apple Watch. I can buy a limited edition seiko tuna. I could live with a diver watch instead of a high tech watch lolol.

Depends on whether you use the functions of the Apple Watch
If you nvr use the functions and only tell the time, then better to go with other "dumber" watches nod.gif

Same. That and I don't really see any benefit from the iWatch anyway. All my notifications require interaction levels that a small watch screen can't give me. Health tracking? I have cigarettes and alcohol for that. Maybe one day when smartwatches become so power efficient that they can be solar powered like those Casio G-Shock/ProTrek watches, then I might consider. Already have to worry about charging two smartphones, bluetooth headphones (f*ck Apple for removing the 3.5mm jack), laptop, etc. In future will probably even need to worry about charging our cars. Enough headache already.
