Yea. But she did it. Anyway hopefully mine doesn’t involve in any warranty 🙊 just to wish my phone works perfectly for me 2 years, that is enough. If more than that, maybe i can sell and buy a new one.

Apple dont repair, they offer 1 to 1 replacement exchange.
Last time my camera sensor have 'dead spot' & they give brand new replacement

Seriously? I have seen alot of people wrote that, Apple just replace your phone with a refurbished set which looks like a new set Wonder if this is true. Is this recently happen on your phone?

yup covered. 1 of my colleague last time bought a 5s and super sayang the phone and never use any physical button except the power button, not even during purchase checking time. after a year+ 1 day she try to use the volume button but 1 of the button not responsive at all. she think most probably due to factory defect since she so sayang her phone and never use those buttons before takkan suddenly rosak. go to service center and they told her if within the year she found out and will giving a 1 to 1 replacement. (that time 1 to 1 not as fishy as now).

so after listen her story i always advise people to use their phone button as much as we can within the first year just in case anything happen we can still claim for it. after 1 year warranty ended liao then we can start sayang the phone by use those buttons as less as we can.

this is very true, they only will allow 1 to 1 changes provided they can't fixed the issue. but at least is better find out some potential defects/issue during the warranty period to avoid any hassle and regret afterward.

Yea. I feel grateful that Apple provide assistive touch features which make us doesn't even need to press any button to wake/unlock the phone. As all jobs can be done from the screen.

Yea, very true. Thanks though. I have just disable the assistive touch.

I don't think Apple will give refurbished set, anyway if true i'm fine cos they're giving additional x months warranty on the replaced set.
By the way, the set the replaced for me looks new & wrapped nicely in film (like new set), just without box only.

Cool. Thanks for the inputs. My friend also got the phone only, looks like new, without box too.

actually it is renew/refurbished set. that's the reason 1 to 1 exchange are without box, and only come with extra 3 months warranty. last time friend worked in machines service center. those actually are defect set that sent in by other customers, after fixed it, change housing and everything necessary. it is still literally new, no difference with new set though.

Maybe true, I'm not sure.
But Apple will reset all the info like serial number.
The replaced set when you enter the serial number, it will show new warranty information or tagged to your earlier warranty (whichever is longer).

Hows iOS11 so far? Stable? I am still on iOS10 lol

camera dead spot couldn't be fixed hence the 1:1... but home and power buttons I doubt they do 1:1..... I kena before they replace the buttons only... which lasted only 3 months then ko again..

Nope my bro ip6s+ they only fix...

11 was pretty buggy when it first took off, but 11.2 is pretty stable. I’m reading mixed reviews about 11.2.1 but so far no issues for me.

U using 11.2.1 already?

On my iPad. As for my phone, haven’t decided between a used 7 Plus, or a new 8 Plus/X

depends on your device. if you not really needed the features in iOS11, is better for you to stay in iOS10 especially elder devices. heard that so far the most stable & best version is iOS10.3.3. i've seen some people wanna buy a second hand device but specifically only for iOS10.3.3.

I am still using 10.0.x on my 7Plus

Bro, sooner or later need to update as not only does the update have the newer s/wares but also includes the security updates from apple which to me is far more crucial.
