It has arrived but no case yet 😑 sigh. Should I turn on or wait until case arrive haha...

Airbag for phone?

Potong steam... was admiring the steel portion until I spotted this tiny dink . Ok there's no way I'm gonna use it without a case .

Sian cause I just opened it up and haven’t even used yet 😅 was pretty careful with it then noticed this 😑

Yeah, unfortunately. But doesn't make sense for me to return the unit... charging seems ok, Wi-Fi seems ok to. But need to until my case comes then I will start using it .

I think if I put case on i will never notice it la...

Googling around... seems the silver version can be polished off, while the black and gold can't since its PVD on the color. Another reason to consider the silver.

Yeah, just need to close one eye . Side note for future owners, while I was googling... you need to be careful when handling the SIM tray and not accidentally scratching the body instead >_<. Saw some people scratched the body cause misalign the hold. Lagi sakit..

I was looking at my phone again, if the lights doesn't hit the area or I don't look it close enough say < 2 feet, then very hard to notice it. (The band is also a freaking finger print magnet). Now... my case better arrive today >_<. Then need to DIY the original "screen protector" until my RhinoShield TG arrives.

I will be ordering the RhinoShield Mod NX eventually 😂 the band area is colored so it will be covered.

Coming from aluminum body iPhone, this steel and glass finish is one heck of finger print magnet. It looks posh but... finger print magnet 😅

Not sure to be frank, this is definitely a "defect" but its minor. Not sure Apple would allow this to be claimed? But this is HK set, so pretty much if I claim I need to send it back to T&L then back to HK to get another unit... all in maybe 1 months+ gone. I'm gonna enjoy the device instead . But today still using my old 6 Plus since waiting for the case to arrive.

Unless this unit has charge issue or radio signal issue then different story. Last time my friend bought Maxis set, got dust under screen also unable to replace the unit on the spot.

Wow Apple Store will layan for these minor cosmetic defect? But then again now with the #chargegate and radio reception unit... I think this minor cosmetic is acceptable provided don't face those 2 issues *consoling myself haha!* Side note, is exchanged set = new retail set or refurbished (brown box)?

Haven't dealt direct with Apple Store before... why Msia no Apple Store I think our neighbor BKK has one right?

Definitely no warranty at Malaysia at the moment as the XS Max has not been launched here yet. Besides I think T&L could claim for me, but it will take time since I need to ship back to T&L, back to HK, HK to Msia, then to my place. So rather enjoy using the phone instead hehe.

I wanted to do an unboxing video, but was thinking how to hold the camera and too lazy to dig out my tripod. So forget it terus open haha.

I guess those unboxing when their unit arrive might want to consider taking a video.

Hur hur, should have mentioned about the Shopback for the additional 2% and yes the unboxing video is important if want to dispute for out of the box cosmetic defects.

Don't plan to claim, but since you mentioned this I dropped a message to T&L through Qoo10. Lets see how they respond to me .

iPhone doesn't support QC 3.0 right, so it should be using the standard 2.4A charging?

Not sure about this, if 1:1 then I will consider... anybody with the receipt (am at work now, receipt's at home)? Is there a contact number for the Malaysia branch which I can call to? I tried their Facebook but I think its the HK branch haha...

When you raise the phone, it will wake up already... then recognize your face and unlocked based on my limited hands on ytd

Haven't got time to play around yet... just unboxed ytd and found the potong steam dink haha! Today then will explore further.

I think this has been debated for the finger print since the 5s introduction. The data is encrypted in the processor itself, nobody can access it at all. Lets say your touch id button spoil, then you can say good bye to finger print function as the processor is paired to one finger print sensor for the security.

I expect the face detect so have similar level of safety la .

Good morning! My simple and cheap phone case, Ringke Fusion. Nice when it’s new but starting collecting scratches already 😅 oh well, gotta show the gold off 😂

That is why I looked for a cheaper alternative but this is surprisingly good quality stuff. Always a big fan of Spigen but decided to try out Ringke instead. Will eventually change to SolidSuit wood back plate cause I like the wood feel haha, but... that will cover up the entire phone already.

Not used to the physical buttons for locking (coming from 6 Plus... to protect the home button haha)... I enabled the Assistive Touch but set to 15% opacity when idle... then set to long touch for lock screen, double tap for mute and 3D touch for screen shot . Tada no need to use physical button haha.

Another question, for the photo and video compression do you guys use the high efficiency? Does it mean when I import to computer it will be automatically converted? or that format can be read easily now by Windows 10?

I have only used RhinoShield SolidSuit so far, backed their project on KS previously. My SolidSuit didn't scratch my 6 Plus' aluminum fortunately. But this time around am considering the Mod NX, mainly cause I want to use the lens attachment .

So this new format is the future, maybe I'll stick with that. I see I could download extensions to enable Windows 10 support for them.

I bought from Shopee seller but it went out of stock the moment after I placed order.

Coming from 6 Plus with 1 GB RAM only, this system feels so much nicer... my game in background don't get refreshed so often haha. Previously whenever I go to Safari or camera, it will be refreshed .

I set-up my phone as new + I did the network reset... Didn't notice any significant drop compared to my previous iPhone.
