Tho I am a westie, but I worked near Jewel for almost 2 years till I changed job. Went jewel very often back then with colleagues when they had lunch time free parking (Min. spend $50)

Walk till abit sian alr Unless got new things now. Last went about 3 months ago to pick up friend flying back sg.

Then you should know that there's more to Jewels than just Apple.

But not everyone is sian. That's also an issue.

Not a regular at MBS. That place is big but generally a boresville to me.

Orchard lagi worse, being practically next door.

So time to explore further

i was pleasantly surprised with my experience. when i approached the staff at the door and told them i'm here to collect my phone (and i did not tell them it's for battery servicing), she immediately recognized me and ask if i am mr xxx, and it's a different staff from the earlier one. i do not know how they remember me though. haha.

They recognized by the types of clothes, color you are wearing that day or some other special Characteristic.. I saw them taking down that part of their notes.

Ya, but what I was telling him is that he of all people should know that there's more to Jewels than just Apple.
Just.Exactly.That.

Haha! If you go 2-3 times a week for 2 years straight like me, you will also feel it's just a very aesthetically pleasing mall.

Aiyoh, I was just saying exactly what I said lah. That you are qualified to know that there's more to Jewels than just Apple since you've been there that often. So those of us who are less frequent might just like to explore mah.

Don't think too much lah.

Few years upgrade once then can feel the wind(Difference) ma

Yearly upgrade is just new-toy-syndrome/bragging rights imo, or just purely rich.

Phone breaking down is more of a heng suay situation. Personally never had an iPhone spoil or bricked during ownership (Mostly 2-3 years/phone) It's always upgrading, then sell old phone. So case by case basis, & how heavy of a user you are.

The used market is always there. All down to what condition your phone is & pricing expectations. I listed my old 11pm on carou & sold within 48hrs.

Really is heng suay, out of all the iPhones I've used over the past 10 years, only my X had to be replaced prematurely(<2years) because of a failing amoled screen that wasn't my fault.

 

[anthonygreenisreal]

iPhone quite easy to sell off thats for sure.
Market price is quite nice as well.
Good luck with selling android phones unless its the latest TOTL Samsungs
