Bought iPhone 14 Plus for Myself and Wife

Went to Apple Store at Orchard Road, quite packed, they even run out of hand sanitiser, but first impression is "wow", feels very spacious and relaxing.

At first still thinking of buying online as in Shoppee or Lazada or even Courts to save a few hundred bucks, after reading some bad reviews and horror stories, decided not to save that money for headache, just go down to Apple Store and buy and see why it is so highly recommended, anyway me, wife and baby also never visit Apple Store before.

I think Apple Store is about the experience, everything put up swee swee, service is tok gong, plenty of service staff around, products are world class, you just have to walk in with money.

It didn't take long before we grabbed one of the blue shirt guy and started ordering, to my surprise can just order from his device, just tell him what we want, he key in, then he go grab the products, then just pay on the spot on a small device that can accept credit card, no need to go any counter, very casual and relax.

I like how they have the whole suite, from phone to charger to casing to screen protector, and everything don't feel cheap and indeed not cheap, can feel the quality in my hand, end up we bought the whole suite, no need to go to any ah beng hand phone shop or shady online stores.

By the way these days the iPhone don't come with charger, have to buy separately, it's S$29.25 so it's not overly expensive.

The guy also put on the screen protector for us, I think it's a standard thing, even got special device to put screen protector some more, wah really different level.

Overall the whole experience very fast and smooth, very satisfied with the service and the products, the iPhone damn smooth, big screen, shiok, satisfying.

Now, how much we spent today, by the way no paper receipt, the guy took my email and just mail the receipt to me, good, save paper:

iPhone 14 Plus 128GB Blue: S$1513.
iPhone 14 Plus 128GB Purple: S$1513.
OTTERBOX AMP GLRGRD SPA 14PLUS/13MAX-ZML x 2 (this is screen protector): S$69 x 2 = S$138.
MagSafe Charger x 2: S$59.55 x 2 = S$119.10.
20W USB-C Power Adapter x 2: S$29.25 x 2 = S$58.50.
iPhone 14 Plus Silicone Case with MagSafe - Iris: S$75.70
iPhone 14 Plus Silicone Case with MagSafe - Storm Blue: S$75.70

Total: S$3493.

Oh and the Face ID is solid siol, damn easy to use and super useful, sibeh enjoy this new phone.

The ROM website did a really good job of putting together the information that you need in a well-organized manner. I've done it once and I think the guide is very easy to follow. The only hiccup I've had with my marriage is during the  Appointment for verification & Statutory Declaration where both of us were required to read out a wall of text and my wife had difficulty getting past the first few lines and the counter guy got fed up and told my wife to stop. Definitely my oversight as I didn't arrange for an interpreter beforehand but luckily, there was a licensed interpreter at the scene and we managed to get her to do the interpretation fo
