It will be smooth, just like any other online purchase, pretty straight forward.. as long as you secure a spot then everything else is easy..

i see alot ppl waiting for telco deal
just want to ask how much cheaper are telco offering?
*
last year iphone 13 pro max 256gb was rm5799 retail, maxis under 128 offers phone price around 4.3-4.4k, so it was well over 1.3k..

QUOTE(calvin @ Sep 15 2022, 01:00 PM)
any idea what time Apple Store Online would be available ? unsure.gif
*
the same time as every other pre order, today midnight 12.01am

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Sep 15 2022, 12:42 PM)
Well telcos are banking on the desperation of would be Iphone buyers into signing into their expensive 2 year contracts . shakehead.gif

Like how I would say everyy year,  Be patient. There are lotsa of stocks for everyone.  nod.gif
*
Yea bro especially this year, i think there will be ample of stocks available..

Just wonder why would you think there will be ample of stock this year?
*
think there are not many people who plan to upgrade their phone this year, especially those who are using iPhone 13's...alot are waiting for more upgrades like the next one for usbC and etc... just a personal thought tho..

shouldnt think this way..
like that 11pro = 12pro = 13pro (design wise not much different at all)

11pro and 12pro didnt upgrade to 13pro

then they upgrade to 14pro (atleast for the dynamic island)
*
well that's also a way to see it, but somewhat I still think it'll be more stocks than demand this year smile.gif

You can gauge the reception of the new iPhone in Malaysia by judging how fast the thread move.  biggrin.gif
So far this thread macam tak laku.

Last year IP13 thread you come back from lunch already moved 3-4 pages.
*
Yea it's true, this year thread move very slowly compare to last year XD not sure if deep purple was part of the reason less people keen to upgrade lol

Always wonder which is better. Machines or switch? I still prefer maxis as I am already under their 128 plan. Just worried there will be more ppl going for maxis rather than retailers
*
If you are eligible to start a 24 months contract then by all means go for maxis.. that's a lot of rebate there, and since you are already on MOP128, why not?

Maybe because no KWSP money
Or savings depleted (MCO time can save a lot since stay home and work from home)
*
Yeap this is true, no kwsp + less savings after MCO, now skip unnecessary purchase...

QUOTE(tehoice @ Sep 15 2022, 03:21 PM)
Nothing is wrong with buying anything on installments, especially with 0% incentive somemore.

But the only fear is what if you lost your phone, imagine, if you are paying installments still, then you will need to pay another one too.

but of course, if you buy it outright, it will still be 2 phones too, however, may not be so painful if you need to serve 2 installments at the same time for one phone.
*
well yea actually it you lost the phone then buying outright x2 would hurt your bank more XD, but paying monthly for something that's gone is a different kind of pain..

QUOTE(deepan84 @ Sep 15 2022, 03:22 PM)
or maybe the phone just ain't good enough for ppl to consider upgrading.
*
Yeap definitely can't justify spending so much for little upgrades..

QUOTE(cekpome @ Sep 15 2022, 03:23 PM)
Celcom is using something new (?) to prevent the crash. There will be like a queueing system. Not sure if it was implemented last year.
*
won't put too much hope on celcom tbh..had bad experience with their services over the years..

1 tips I'd like to share, for Preorder (maxis) while you are queueing for numbers, don't refresh.. even if it appears to be stuck and not moving..

Hopefully the link they send won't crash  whistling.gif

Could it be some special link for people that registered interest?

Hope it's not the same link that everyone gets during pre order.. lol

i know how itworld and their parent company SNS works they are the worse of all 3 big authorized resellers

Moving from iPhone XS to iPhone 14 Pro this time. Any nice clear case for our iPhone. Need to show off the purple colour. 😂
Not considering Apple own clear case.
*
clear case I'd probably go Spigen, uniq or ringke fusion... all ranged around RM 65-79..

so has anyone figured out which retailers offer the best deal for pre-orders? (rebates or 1 year extended warranty etc) not instalment but one off payment?

winner so far is IT world and senheng for the additional year extended warranty?

Haha, my bad, didn’t scroll through. Thanks for the heads-up!

Looks like the subsidy is quite similar to last year’s - just that the phone is more expensive now…
*
yea about the same as last year, which is still good for 14 PM 128gb under MOP128 gets a rebate of 1449, almost the best we can get out there... biggrin.gif

Looking at the Maxis plans, lets say if we were to get the Pro Max 256GB with the Postpaid 128 plan.

Phone price = Rm4804 for Postpaid 128

Month Subscription Rm128 per month X 24 = Rm3072

So RM6299 - Rm4804 = Rm 1495 Savings.

Total Ownership cost Rm7876
But if you buy from Apple store at RRP at Rm6299

And you use Maxis Postpaid Rm48 x 24 months = Rm1152

Total ownership cost Rm7451
So buying from Maxis with the Postpaid 128 plan actually costs Rm425 more.
*
whats the diff between postpaid 48 vs 128 tho?

All plans need to add sst bro.

Ya.... I have 100gb  and most I use is 3-4 gb per month.  doh.gif

then not worth getting maxis 128, outright would save you more $$ in a long run...
