I concur, so 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.
Right? I'm surprised they don't offer an outright contract price purchase like maxis does this year. New management, maybe.
Same here, but I am chilled about it.. I remember my 13 Pro Max - no news or status update till the eve - and even after delivery the status still not updated on the website, hahaha...
Oh wow, really? I still have a UAG Plasma case from my 13 Pro Max which I kept for memory sake, hahaha... Anyways, my wife loves the Pathfinder series which is why I'm gonna get that case for the 15 Pro Max... the phone will eventually be hers!
U Mobile is the best value for money if their coverage is decent where you work, live or play

I had a brief experience with them some many years ago and it was not great, but perhaps it's improved now.
Yea, at least from my personal experience and the case's issue is similar regardless if I got it from official Machines outlet or some third party in LYN.

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.
Haha, can try, the chip efficiency is good for this gen. Now we not sure about next gen whether 8 gen 3 will be from TSMC or not
