Looking to replace my aging iPhone X since it will be EOL soon

Got a Japan trip in mid-Oct

Wondering if I can get it cheaper (tax-free) there, or just buy locally (will be nice if can get before the trip)

Switch is good. I got my 14PM from them last year during pre-order. Everything went well and smooth. No drama. But I know many here would love the drama.

Iphones in Japan are not exactly cheaper. Moreover you might have issues claiming warranty over here in Malaysia.

I try as much as possible to buy only the 128GB coz I don’t do any video recording and I’m on Apple One family plan so I have more than enough storage. That, and also the fact that I change phone every year (sometimes even twice a year) and my current usage is at 35GB

The earliest I’ve ever gotten an iPhone at launch was the 13 Pro Max two years ago which I pre-ordered via Maxis and received on October 1st!

I’ve never pre-ordered with a retailer before - have always gone the telco route for the launch. Will likely do the same this year!

Do take note that iPhones from Japan cannot mute the camera shutter sound. Every time you take a photo with your camera, there will be a loud camera shutter sound.

Ya i know

MacRumors has now confirmed that Apple tested the following storage configurations for the ‌iPhone 15 Pro‌ and ‌iPhone 15 Pro‌ Max:

128 GB
256 GB
512 GB
1 TB

Wait until midnight then will know whether the storage configuration is true or not

Tonight’s the night. Hope we can see launch dates instead of please check back later

Yes, that's right. Excited. Is there any Ultra model? We shall see today.

The Iphone 15 you buy could be made in India Bharat.



For the first time, Apple will sell new made-in-India iPhone models on launch day (via Bloomberg). That means the iPhone 15 you buy on September 22 could have been manufactured in India, a sign that Apple’s worldwide supply chain infrastructure is taking significant steps to expand beyond China.

While Apple has been making iPhones in India for some time, their production schedules have lagged behind the longstanding “primary” iPhone assembly facilities in China like Foxconn.

A couple of years ago, it could take six months for India iPhone models to start entering the supply chain, following their September debut. This gap has gradually reduced. Last year, Made-in-India iPhone 14 models were only about six-to-eight weeks behind.

This means the iPhone 15 is the first time an India-produced latest-generation Apple device is made available on the first day of sale. The iPhone 15 production ramp in India began in early August.

India factories are making iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus. However, it seems Apple is still dependent on China for assembly of its most premium iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max models.

Nevertheless, having Made-in-India iPhone 15 units available at launch is a significant step in Apple’s long-term plans of reducing reliance on China for manufacturing. In total, Apple suppliers in India now produce about 7% of the total number of iPhones manufactured worldwide.

Apple will officially announce the iPhone 15 at its September media event later today, at 10 a.m. Pacific Time. Stay tuned to 9to5Mac for full coverage of all the announcements.

SG so fast got already? Or they put wrongly?

no. This is physically sold in challenger Singapore. Taken photo on the scene.

Singapore is a develop market plus it is a very small market la… not hard to fulfill on first released together with the US. Even if everyone buys one can’t beat Malaysia’s volume.

just a couple more hours

Coming soon. Hope Malaysia selling soon, please be first batch country. 😄

epal store pun lambat lagi

Planning to upgrade my current iPhone 13 Pro Max 256GB to the 15 Pro Max 256GB

Looking good so far
