mine.

1) [Sold] iPhone 3GS Black 32GB - first ever iphone i own when I switched from Nokia.

2) [Own] iPhone 4 White 32GB - my all-time favourite iPhone design

3) [Sold] iPhone 4s White 64GB - sold due to the yellow tint of the display

4) [Current] iPhone 6 Plus Silver 128GB - did not manage to buy iPhone 5 because no stock and ended up bought the Samseng Note 3, totally regretful choice and finally back to iPhone. Did not like the colour but I managed to get it within the first wave. This model was too hot that preorder from telcos was so hard to get one. There was serious shortage that time people can even get one only 3 to 4 months later after launch too. I bought from red telco in lion city that the moment i stepped out from the hall after i purchased it, immediately got buyer approached me to offer me price to buy it. I did not though which if yes, I would had earned quite a bit. However, it is really proud to be an owner of this phone that time during launch.

5) [Collection] iPhone SE (1st gen) Space Grey 128GB - bought it to recover the regrets of not owning iPhone 5/5s. Used for about half year for day to day usage but the screen size is really too small so end up switch to iPhone X. and now it is part of my collection.

6) [Current] iPhone X Space Grey 256GB - skipped iPhone 6s Plus/iPhone 7 Plus and upgrade only after 3 years. Ever since iPhone 6/6 Plus, iphone was totally over power which it lasts much longer before it slows down.


7) [Collection] iPhone 4s white 64GB (used) - bought from a seller from carousell to recover the lost (sold away) of my iPhone 4s 64GB white. Only regret is that I did not own an iPhone 4/4s in black before. However, the seller is not honest which the microphone of the phone is having problem which the other party will not hear me clearly which is totally not usable. Other functions are working though. This makes me a lesson learnt that I will never buy a second hand used iPhone.

8) [Collection] iPhone 4s 64GB white (refurbished) - to make up for the imperfect purchase above.

9) [Collection] iPhone X 256GB Space Grey (replacement unit) - from a carousell seller. to pass to my dad to use.

10) [Collection] iPhone Xs 256GB (replacement unit) - from a carousell seller. bought it due to attractive price.

11) [Collection] iPhone xs Max 256GB Silver (replacement unit) - from a carousell seller. bought it due to attractive price.

12) [Buy] iPhone 12 mini -? has been hesitating to do so to buy the purple one, but it is too close to the new iPhone release in September. maybe will still wait for 12s/13/14 (whichever they call it this year)

1. iPhone 4 - Queued at Gardens for maxis launch but after 5-6 hours of waiting, got fed up and ported to DiGi. Used the phone for 2 years before selling.

2. iPhone 5 - Ported from DiGi to Celcom and signed a one year contract (those were still available back then). Sold the phone after 18 months and went for the Note 3 (a decision that would come back to haunt me...)

3. iPhone 6 Plus - went back to maxis and signed a contract with them, sold the phone after 13 or 14 months and upgraded to...

4. iPhone 6S Plus - because 2GB RAM made a lot of difference compared to the 6 Plus laugh.gif Sold after 14 months.

5. iPhone 7 Plus - Jet Black. Enough Said.

6. iPhone 8 Plus - Renewed maxis contract. Sold after 9 months.

7. iPhone X - Most I’ve ever paid for an iPhone to date. RM4888 on Lazada. Used for 7-8 months.

8. iPhone XS Max - HK set, bought from T&L Telecom on Qoo10. Used for 2 months before passing it on to my wife and subsequently selling it a year later.

9. iPhone XR - Also HK set, same seller and platform as above. Sold after 7-8 months.

10. iPhone 11 Pro Max - Renewed maxis contract. Used for 3-4 months and passed to my wife before selling it off after a year.

11. iPhone 11 - Bought a second hand one to try. Sold it after 3-4 months.

12. iPhone 6S - Bought second hand as a back up phone. Still keeping it now.

13. iPhone 12 Pro Max - Bought on wife’s maxis contract. Used for a month or so before passing it to her. She is still using it now.

14. iPhone 12 - Bought from Senheng in December 2020, just sold it off weeks ago.

15. iPhone 11 - Company assigned phone to employees. Using it now.

Oh, and somewhere in there. I also bought an iPhone 5S for my mum, which she is still using now.

I was using samsungs back in 2008.

First iphone was Iphone 3G, then 3Gs.

I loved 3GS so much so i skipped Iphone 4 and replaced 3GS only with Iphone 4.

Since then i had every single regular size iphone. ))

actually i hate 3GS, the rounded fat rear part is irritating.

i started to really love iphone is until iphone 4.
