I just checked shopee fold 8 256gb abt $2.1k+…. Opened set will definitely be lower 1.8k+-1.9k+?

iphone duo 256gb $3099.. even if opened set will be $2.8k-2.9k…

the problem is that samsung/platform giving sales discounts… setting new lower baseline price point for their new phones… to compete with iphone…

U could get fold 8 base model at 1.4k during Sammy PO stacking vouchers.. not here to debate which foldable is the better one here but I think the cost of acquiring also matters if u wanna factor in the slower depreciation/higher retention value for iphones lol..

this is true. apple rarely has huge discounts or any discounts at al, except the Air.

Apple and Samsung stores always stick to their RRP. It's the 3rd parties that are offering the discounts. haha
No leh samsung stores got pre order promo and etc. unlike apple stores. Totally nothing

Changing yearly, I am skipping AC+
I prefer case and SP. My Corning AR Glass effect is even stronger than the raw panel. Not paying $300+ for AC+ ~
But then if damaged, the 1 year limited warranty if no AC+ need pay mah, no meh even with case + SP.
I get its troublesome but then can just refund when get new phone though?

I only bought AC+ for my M1 MacBook M1 Pro & my Watch Ultra 2, that thing is too expensive lol.
I bought the Mac Mini one for my upcoming M5 Pro one with 64GB Unified Memory. Just $100+ to protect my few thousands of 64GB thanks to the cartel

Aside from using the Apple Store app, I wonder what other ways are there to secure the Duo during pre-orders on 16Oct, 8pm.
