Difference between apple sets & telco sets?

[effkewkew]

Hi bros and sis from hwz, can I check for the difference between apple sets and telco sets? Cos I was looking around the forums and I see buyers only looking for telco sets instead of accepting apple sets as well?

 

[Salapi]

no difference. maybe telco set receipt better.

 

[faithsilence]

yea telco sets, when u start the phone, it will show the respective telco logos instead of Apple.






If you believe

In SG, telco set = apple set.

In other countries such as the US, then different story.

For Starhub, M1 and Apple Sets, you head to AASP to get your iPhone for repair/replacement.
For Singtel sets, you head down to Commcentre for repair/replacement.

apple set, after sales service should be better.

by right...

not if the warranty is handled by AASP
crappy experience i've had with them

No wonder the starhub delivery guy told me not go back to starhub

Only difference I can think of is apple sets delivered to home are not activated.

It's the same lah as long as it's bound for Singapore. Unless other countries, got locked to carrier, different LTE band, different power plug, etc.

And also last time M1 or starhub paste a pop-up logo sticker on all of their phones. Anyone remember?

No. Starhub home or office delivery also not activate.

hahaha so true. Just came there now for iPhone 5 issue - bad experience, wasted 3 hours.

Telco set not sealed since they insist to open up the set for you to inspect. Apple set still sealed when delivered.

i told the starhub delivery guy not to unseal the box.. had to sign off the invoice that the box is sealed

 

[ralfale]

Delivery can seal, if collect in shop can't.

Which AASP did you go to? Care to share your experience? Im thinking of heading down soon to fix my wifi issues with my 5s.

Yes, there are difference for new defect iphone

Apple store online allow 1 to 1 exchange for new set within 14 days for defect part

Teleco/Reseller allow on the spot check for 1 to 1 defect exchange for new set (but they may claim no stock/reserved now), after that would be refurbished set

 

[Kusanagi]

they want take in telco set cause can offer lower price as it is unsealed

after buying ur set at a lower price, just have to seal it back themselves
