Think I'll go try to purchase an Iphone 15 Pro at our airport's duty-free when I next travel (end Oct).

I did checked that, no we can't do this at changi airport for the tax-free products, as long as we are sinkies or PRs, only foreigners deserves the tax-free policy.

It may be cheaper, but by right, when you re-enter Singapore, must make a GST declaration at customs and pay the 8% GST.

Take out the phone and throw away the box.

iPhone in Japan is cheaper than SG. But the shutter sound is really a problem. I spoke to my Japs friends and the Apple Jap store who told me that it cannot be off. But on some websites, it was mentioned that once you are out of Japan, you could off the shutter sound. No one really can confirm. On the safe side, I decided not to take the risk. Buy locally safer

U take many stealth pics??

Japan phones are mandated to have the shutter sound when taking photos even if you set mute button to silent
