Plans still slightly different but phone prices are the same... and no outright contract purchase. And yes, I'm surprised too, hahaha.. but maybe if you calculate the cost per GB, maxis is still more expensive? I dunno... I am using their home fibre so my data quota is unlimited...

I'm tempted to get a S23U just to see how efficient the SD8 Gen 2 is actually, hahaha... i think it went as low as 4.2k during 9.9 sale or something? I tried the S22U and wasn't impressed.

Nice! Maybe I will get one of their prepaids to try how their coverage is these days. The last time I tried U Mobile, I signed a package for a HTC Desire U, hahaha... go figure!

I think 5G coverage should be the same for all telcos as they are on DNB's network right?

Hahaha, agreed, which is why I said...

"I think buying these subsidized phone only makes sense if
a) your bill is in part subsidized by the company you work for
b) your monthly usage really equates to that much data
c) you... just have money? hahaha... kidding."

Mine says “Pick and Pack”, whatever that means

Next year they’ll all be queuing outside Apple Store TRX

Not for me, haha, I likely will get from maxis again on my wife’s contract. She has a few sub lines for her siblings so we keep our phone lines separate since day 1 But her contract expires next November though so I’ll need to pay the penalty if I want to preorder.

I don’t think the color makes for better resale value, but it does mean that you could have more potential buyers.

My guess is maybe difficult for Pro Max 256GB? Except maybe for Blue Titanium? Hahaha…

I think you should be able to get one if you’re not fussy about the colour

So this is what the extra RM10 or RM11 on top of your existing DiGiCelcom and Maxis plan gets you - 5G….

Note the data consumed for the speed test, definitely don’t do this often if you’re not on an unlimited data quota…

Which phone are you currently on bro? I'm using a 12 Mini now and 5G is sucking my battery like nobody's business!

I think for Celcom and DiGi your plan probably included 5G but that 10 bucks extra will get you additional quota? That's the case for my corporate DiGi line too, I believe.

Isn’t the point of moving to Type C to harmonise all these cables and chargers in the first place? Hahaha… Apple still finds a way to screw us over…

Same, hahaha.. the curse of Apple products… when they launch the Apple Watch, I went no way, I’m happy with my G-Shock, but I’ve been wearing my Apple Watch 5 for close to 3 years now and my G-Shock watches are in the drawer with dead batteries… when they launch the Apple Pencil, I said no way in hell I will buy a RM400 stylus, then I bought the Apple Pencil 2 at over 500….

Wow bro, then you should stay with this legacy plan and just buy the phone outright no?

Oohhh, you managed to pre-order online? Nice, haha… Did you change the plan to 5G plan already before you pre-order?

I suppose that's one of the risk you take with being an early adopter or having the phone launched in our market early before getting the reviews in. As someone mentioned a few posts earlier, we've dealt with an exploding phone before (Note 7, anyone?), so what's a little overheating? Hahaha...

Ooohhhh, I did not know this. Thanks for the info!

Very peculiar. I think the person who you spoke to is mistaken kua. Normally the courier companies are given very specific instructions not to deliver till the launch day.

Unless Apple changed policy? Hahaha…

I was at the Urban Republic near my house, got sell third party cases di but choices quite limited. Maybe coz it’s a smaller outlet, hahaha…

I’d avoid buying from Senheng online - the waiting could be very long and they provide little to no update in between. You’d be better off taking your chance walking-in at other retail outlets after the launch.

Oh wow, this definitely is next level, hahaha… I mean I will probably get quite a number of cases and accessories too - just maybe not all at once!

15 Pro Max on Apple website now: -

Blue, Black Titanium - ships in 4 to 5 weeks
White, Natural Titanium - ships in 7 to 8 weeks

Changing cases is hard work, hahaha...

I feel like I should ask about why would you need one in your mom's room, but I think I won't

I think no one really takes dxomark that seriously these days

Maxis customers are chilled, half of us know there won't be any updates from them but we'll still get our phones and the other half already expect them to screw up one way or the other, hahaha...

That's a lot of work, bro. So many kids? Hehehe... Luckily I just have one! So I just do two or three transfers a year, maximum. My phone to a new one, then when I'm done with it, I transfer back to the older phone, pass the new phone to my wife and transfer for her and wipe her existing one to sell or keep. Kid still happily abusing his iPhone 11 so will let him be for now

I have the same one for my iPhone X previously, haha. I still have the case kept for memory’s sake!

Did you bring in it for the service program previously?

Mine had a cracking sound issue so I brought it in and got replacements, hehe. My battery still good for 4 hours or so with ANC

Same status as mine, no movement since two days ago
