the main differences is LUCK sweat.gif
see which channel let you pre-order faster

last year i try pre-order from Switch and Apple Online Store, Switch website is a joke...  ranting.gif end up done pre-order from Apple Online Store

if you want telcos device subsidize, then you can only opt for telco pre-order
but dont try to pay higher monthly phone bills commitment when come to telcos device subsidize, it usually not worth

for example, i am Maxis One Plan RM128 user many years... i can safely opt for device subsidize and contract 24 months
if your telco bills is just RM50, no point try telco device subsidize and contract 24 months
those telcos subsidize 1000-2000 on phone depends on the telco plan, usually 80-200 monthly.... paying extra 30-150 a month just to get 1000-2000 does not many any sense laugh.gif might as well buy outright with RRP

I burn 85% of my 90GB data every month lol.

Its really a waste if you are not utilizing your data properly.

Malaysia telcos actually giving alot data laugh.gif compare to previously MOP98 1GB, MOP128 3GB sweat.gif
since MOP128 10GB i start using this plan... then slowly til now 60GB

Back in the days, 1GB plans tongue.gif

Until consumer bising only Maxis woke up, that whole fiasco started here in LYN. I remember it very fondly haha.

Haha those were the days, glad someone actually stood up and challenged these corporations to heed the demand / needs of the users.

I haven’t tried, but literally by just looking at dbrand commercials throughout all the YouTubers, I guess is sux!

Actually Dbrand is a good brand. Been a user for almost 5 years - skinning my laptop, iPad + MK, AirPods casing etc. Quality wise, its decent enough for my usage.

Their customer service is top-notch. If you screw up your installation (your fault), you can always ask for a replacement - no questions asked, for free and shipped.

Me! Wanna pay in full (to avoid any probable issues that might arise when trying to settle the balance later) tonite & pick the phone up from Machines on the 8th.
*
If you’re picking up, I’ll suggest to pick a less traffic store / ulu ulu ones because popular ones will always be crowded and packed on collection day.

Yes is the same for me, otherwise you can opt for guest checkout.
I remember all store equally packed on collection day haha!

Got, smaller neighborhood malls not very packed. About less than 10 people.

QUOTE(dikae @ Sep 30 2021, 10:20 AM)
Yeap all stores will be packed...i’ll just opt for delivery, skip the few hours queue, anyway it’ll arrive on the same day...

If it arrives on the same day yeah, you know… haha.

same. I was planning to buy with telco line since in my opinion, its better to pay in installment than pay in lump sum.
*
Telco instalments are not worth it - the subsidy so much lesser and you’re tied to paying a high monthly commitment phone plan. If you do a rough calculation on the cost of ownership, Normal Contract (pay in full) is always a better value for money.

If not changing phone often and have such high expenses every month, then it is worth for it. smile.gif

I'm using telco bundled plan too and so far I find it worthy for my case.
*
Yeah totally, hence why I’m getting one under the normal contract too. Maybe next year cannot change phone liao doh.gif

buying from telco is good if your company subsidy your phone bill. my fren he get like monthly rm150 for phone, then he subscribe tat rm150 plan, then the phone can get very cheap lol.
*
Yeah in my case it’s the same, company pay total phone bill - so I can literally get the 13PM at a much discounted price (estimated 1.4k savings vs retail).

Super worth it - but the moment you leave the company, need to find another one that subsidize phone allowance tongue.gif

For those planning to get iPhone 13 Apple Silicone or Leather case, go get from https://shop.switch.com.my/shop/iPhone-13-P...-with-MagSafe/3 as its cheaper than Apple store online.

Cancelled my case from Apple store online and got myself a Golden Brown PM leather case for RM229.

ITWorld still have stock for 8 Oct availability in store pickup check it out at https://www.itworld.com.my/Pre-Order-iPhone-13

Thanks buddy, I’ll cancel mine from Apple too.

Edit: They don’t have stocks for Green cry.gif

Why cancel? I noticed all you guys shipping is faster than mine. I purchased through Apple Store and my shipment is in between 29th Oct & 8th Nov.

I bought the leather case from Apple, but turned out Switch is selling at a much cheaper price - unfortunately they don’t have stocks for the Green leather case.

I got my phone from Maxis, delivery set for 8th tongue.gif

Hopefully you’ll get yours by 3/4th week of October, Apple do have the tendency to ship earlier than expected at times.

I wonder how many folks actually do plan to shoot 4K ProRes videos on their phone? Definitely not me.

Almost no one.

Imagine trying to export those 4K videos from Lightning to your PC tongue.gif

Apple created a problem and sell you a solution (iCloud). Imagine if the Pro models actually came with a thunderbolt like the iPad, life will be so much better.

+1. This year leather green is the exact green I'm looking for.
This is the reason I don't use their leather case too. But since last year, their case is fully covered already.

I think my 2 premium cases add up already more than RM500 laugh.gif

Yeah funny why they don’t cover the bottom of the phone previously - and some even came without speaker grills / holes.

ah great to hear that.. last time i don buy theirs also becos of this.. but now i am hooked on mous case, best protect ever.

Which Mous case you’re getting? I ordered the Limitless 4.0 with Aramid Fibre, super stealthy look icon_idea.gif

Hoda? There’s one and only person who can provide the best service sakurazzz tongue.gif

Every year I will buy a couple from him, always quick to send out and well wrapped. But unfortunately I’ve decided to go for DBrand’s TG this year due to curiosity. But do check him out on Lazada/Shopee or even LYN.
