ok heres some additional info i got from calling 123.

No matter which plans you take the warranty will always be 12 months,can walk in to any apple reseller and its a one on one exchange.Sweet for those of you who think buying from garage sales but worried about warranty this is the best workround,safety first right?

You cant trade up with maxis your iphone once the next revision iphone is in.

There's no Iphone only package,everything is tied up to a plan for now.

If lets say you are currently in a maxis value plan and have sub lines under you and you were to have the free callls and sms you cant enjoy that privelage anymore as you are in the iValue plan and the sub lines are in the normal value plan.

nope iphone warranty is such that its a localized warranty meaning you can only claim from the country the iphone was bought from

dude, the reason why they paired this way is to mitigate the cost over a period of time so that you dont have to pay the full amount,then again you can always pop by garage sales and get the iphone but the privileges earned by signing up with maxis especially warranty you cant enjoy.
