QUOTE(attw @ Oct 8 2021, 10:53 AM) Hahaha, exactly, next year buy on wife’s contract. We are on separate lines coz she has three younger siblings and they are all sub-lines to hers, legacy issues, hahaha. Last year’s 12 Pro Max is on her contract but because the 12 launched later last year next year we’ll have to wait till November. No pre-orders! That’s quite a wise idea actually, rotate between you and wife every alternate years haha...thinking to do the same..now my wife is under my share line rm49...might consider putting her as principal for next year’s iPhone...but is it worth to pay the 128 (from her current 49) that’s extra 79/month...but every year maxis subsidise like 1.4k off the phone price...lol hard math... What’s your take on this bro? Wince you’re the expert haha

QUOTE(theirwan @ Oct 8 2021, 01:51 PM) For those who haven't pre-ordered, does anyone tried to walk in just to check whether they have stocks or not? Not sure about now but earlier around 9.30am at IPC they have very limited 256gb graphite (2 units) and also limited 128gb of all colours..

QUOTE(attw @ Oct 8 2021, 01:57 PM) Actually I wanted to get my wife on the RM48 share line but since she's been with this maxis family plan with her siblings for years so we left it as it is. I tried to tempt her to switch over to my account since the maxis home fibre at home is under my name as well and my mobile data is unlimited but she finds it a little bit of a hassle to go to maxis with her siblings to sort out the line transfer and making one of them the principal line instead. Also the bill is being paid by one of the siblings who earns much more than her so I am just quietly reaping the benefits of getting to buy a phone on contract under her name, hahaha.... On the flip side, I usually only get 2 months or so with the new phone before passing it over to her so win win for everyone, hahhaa.. Anyways, if you ask me, I would say that if you are paying your wife's mobile phone bill it might be prudent to just stay on the 48 and you just take the RM79 x 24 (RM1896) and buy the phone outright on the alternate year bro, hahaha.... Hmmm true, saving 1896 is more than whatever subsidise we’ll be getting from maxis....  So when you pass it down to your wife the next few months, what’s your next phone going to be?

QUOTE(meltan @ Oct 8 2021, 02:01 PM) Strange. Maxis keeps on advertising that there’s a 10% discount for Apple accessories. I see. How bad was it? Yes they even told me 20% instead of 10%..however not applicable for iPhone 13 tempered glass...for casings yes....so geram lol...but the excitement somewhat overlap it so whatever la, just get it done and ciao...

QUOTE(attw @ Oct 8 2021, 02:20 PM) Hahaha, ya, next round I think I'll opt for the same - to pick up. This waiting for delivery thing is a little stressful, hahaha... My delivery guy already missed his "deliver before 2pm" mark... Pick up was easy and fast, but I didn’t like the fact that they insist on turning on my phone and making 1 call out, they say myst adhere to maxis sop, and they were rather rough in handling my ‘new phone’...other than that everything was alright..

QUOTE(andrewtho @ Oct 8 2021, 03:30 PM) Nice, should've gotten from Switch, much cheaper than online store. But careful with the MagSafe puck, will leave a mark on your leather case after a while. Yeah crazy man, how can 1 person cover so many houses at one go - its exhausting. I asked my dispatch guy about his route - said only a few on his hand, after that gaodim and done for the day  Maybe they got commission kot..the more they deliver the more they earn...

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Oct 8 2021, 04:54 PM) But but but Apple claims you guys all have spare charging bricks lying around every nook and corner of your homes... and hence they are " not giving the charging brick to reduce carbon emission."
Guess they were Lying.  Ini jump ship from android diff case

I’m existing sub Using esim With iPhone The person in charge in maxis should be fired End up force people go get maxis esim at your outlet Then deliver to me for what? I call 123 he just tell me to go center In his heart probably saying “hahaha bodoh ambik kau” Yea it’s making us do double work, basically wait for their delivery then have to physically go to their centre to activate eSim....could have just put you straight to their centre to pick up...lol

QUOTE(Leopold @ Oct 8 2021, 07:49 PM) Hey wanna ask you guys because can only self collect my unit tomorrow noon from Maxis, is it necessary to check the phone at the centre during collection? Or I can just grab and go? Better check before you go, we were just discussing this on the 13 pro thread about red tint on display....check the display, inside out, check speakers and loudspeakers, camera etc, won’t take you more than 3 mins actually..better be safe than sorry...

QUOTE(Leopold @ Oct 8 2021, 08:03 PM) Ah make sense also. So let say I spot something not right with the phone, can I demand for 1-to-1 replacement? I don't want to send a new phone for repair obviously 😂 actually I am yet to receive my SP (shopee delivery delay for few days already!) so kinda reluctant to open the phone from the box first 😆 btw, new iPhone user here, coming from Android. Yes as long as you spotted something abnormal, they will change 1 to 1 on the spot, however once you exit the shop you will then not be entitled for the 1to1 exchange, but to bring it to AASP for servicing and yes I know what you mean about the brand new in box feel...I told them I will tear off the stickers off the box and screen myself, just for the fun This post has been edited by dikae: Oct 8 2021, 08:17 PM
