jason1975 Posted 22 hours ago Author Posted 22 hours ago 33 minutes ago, reader said: 23,000 baht ($685) is about the price of the Apple iPhone 15. What is the 3,300 baht quote for? In any case, I'm sure there are shops in MBK that can do it at cost-effective price. My guy believes it's much cheaper to repair in Vietnam. He's going back to Vietnam for a week end of next month Quote

He's going back to Vietnam for a week end of next month Then it certainly makes more sense to do it there. Apple store (at those prices) is clearly not interested in doing repairs but wants to entice owners to upgrade to new phone. bkkmfj2648 1 Quote
bkkmfj2648 Posted 21 hours ago Posted 21 hours ago Last year (November) when I helped my guy buy a new iPhone, I put the below 2 conditions on my contribution: 1.) He MUST buy the CASETiFY safety shockproof case. https://casetify.com/iphone-cases/ 2.) He must install the Apple Find My app service in case he misplaces it or it gets stolen. https://www.apple.com/icloud/find-my/ To date his iPhone has been dropped many times and the front facing glass has not broken, as the expensive CASETiFY case is doing its job. When a new phone costs around 60.000 baht (with all of the add ons) it MUST be secured with a safety shockproof protection case. BL8gPt 1 Quote

Easy to get to 60k when you add the expensive Apple add ons like; additional warranty, correct amount of memory for someone who is an avid social media guru, shock damage proof security case, etc. Quote

bkkmfj2648 Posted 10 hours ago Posted 10 hours ago I also use Samsung, as I much prefer the freedom of the Android OS, as Apple's approach is to insist on a "walled garden", to protect its end users. But most of the guys here in Pattaya only want an iPhone. Furthermore, I don't like the way that the Apple approach to music royalties has hurt some of the independent musicians. https://www.thebvnewspaper.com/2024/02/09/apple-musics-unethical-pay-plan-hurts-indie-artists/ BjornAgain 1 Quote
