Same dilemma here. As I use my iPhone on a 3 year cycle, my current X is long overdue for an upgrade. However, if next year they introduce a notchless screen and switch to USB C, I’ll definitely feel I should have waited.

Will be eyeing to secure a unit on 30/9 on Machines/Switch/Directd (done ROI). any other online stores i missed?

Ps: registered on aople store at lazada also but they dont accept preorders zzzzzz

END ON OCT 2021 still want cancel contract?

WhatsApp the maxis and ask,yesterday help my relative pre order also can settle the problem immediately,he accidentally have contract due to a RM10 monthly discount on bills and the cs help him remove it immediately

according the call i had with the CS, depends if you're on zerolution360 or Zerolution.

i was on the former one, so i had to go Maxis center then had to pay 2000 (1700 for not returning the device before month 30, plus 234 for exiting the contract before month 24). then only Maxis removed my contract so i could pre-order using my primary 188 line

if you're on the latter one (standard zerolution), it should be doable over the phone. they will charge you similar to me, except you won't have to pay the 1700 non-return fee. the fee is calculated as = (Apple retail price of your current phone when it was new) / 24 * (number of months left in your contract) + early termination fee

call 123 and confirm with them for sure

P.S. f you've been a loyal customer who always pay on time, Maxis might waive the early termination fee since you only have 1 month left. alternatively, just wait for the contract to naturally end. Maxis will still charge you for the line, but not the device after 24 months

in most cases (like yours) Maxis device contracts will auto-terminate after 24 months. you don't have to manually do anything, just pay the monthly bill only

i suggest you call the CS anyways. say you want to upgrade to 13 series 1 month early. Maxis should just waive the early termination fee and ask you for just the device payment, if you only have 1 month left. politely mention you plan to buy the phone from apple/switch/etc. to discourage them from charging you the fee, since they would prefer you restart the 2-year contract with them rather than buying the phone at retail 

You can WhatsApp or dm their Twitter page as well, quite responsive. For zerolution normally you can terminate it after the 23rd month with no extra charges
