Hahaha, yeah, exactly. Willing seller, willing buyer after all.

Anyways, I think those who are willing to pay a premium to be an early adopter are fewer these days compared to the days of old. Remember that fella who famously paid RM7500 to be amongst the first in Malaysia to own an iPhone 6 Plus?

Yup, dug out the article from the archives

Ahhh, the good old days

Buy every year bro

If history is any indication, we’re probably looking at a reduction of between RM800-RM1000 from the RRP, which is still expensive.

Hahaha, I think that’s unlikely though. The RRP is 4999 which is crazy high. I’m guessing we’ll see it between 3899-4199 come early Wednesday morning

Hehe, XR sure can bro. Today can already get the 64GB one for 2,899 on Lazada’s 9.9 sale.

No bro, too old for that already. Will sleep and download the podcast tomorrow.

Maybe they’ll include Malaysia in the first wave this round to help them with the numbers

Need the TS to start an iPhone 11 thread

Don't see that happening as long as there's no physical Apple Store here...

Actually the price has been reduced slightly compared to 2018's XR, XS and XS Max...

Yup, iPhone 7, X, XS and XS Max discontinued officially. Expect retailers to still clear their stocks though.

The XR is definitely a better choice!

If you’re in no hurry, wait for Lazada’s 10.10 or 11.11 sale, price will be even cheaper then!

IPhone XS Max 256GB was RM6099 bro, iPhone 11 Pro Max 256GB is RM5999.

Reduced by RM100

I’m getting with my maxis contract renewal bro - but most likely only getting the 64GB - I don’t keep my phones long enough to utilise 256GB of storage

Machines new price list for XS and XS Max

XS
64GB - 4399
256GB - 5099
512GB - 6149

XS Max
64GB - 4899
256GB - 5599
512GB - 6499

My iPhones generally last longer than my Androids, haha.. if I sell, I usually sell it by June/July the following year before the next iPhone announcement. If my wife doesn’t upgrade hers, then most likely she’ll inherit my 11 Pro/Pro Max when I’m done with it and I may not sell it.

Depends on your priorities. Battery life? Display? Camera? I’ve used both and I’d pick the XR.

Yes, 100% approvals for iPhones coz she knows she’ll inherit the phone eventually. But she frowns whenever I try an Android


Definitely. In essence, it is a discontinued product, so they’ll price it to clear till stocks run out.

Ya, the plan is to go with that on my telco contract and then probably get an 11 to try later on when there are some discounts

Plan to buy outright. There’s hardly any discount on Zerolution and Zerolution 360 is a leasing program which I’m not very keen on at the moment. I do have two shared lines in my account and I can take the Zerolution option on the shared lines later on so we’ll see

Except for portrait shots and 2x zoom, the XR performs better with the single lens due to the new ISP and Smart HDR features. The X has a dual lens camera system so it takes better portrait shots and the telephoto lens helps with the zoom.

Battery life hands down the XR wins.
