Face ID doesn't work with polarized sunglasses. You can make it work by disabling the Require Attention for Face ID setting.

Tak boleh. Nanti people think Im mad. biggrin.gif

I hate it when I have to take off my sunglasses to face unlock the phone. Usually I will unlock using keycode. I hate it even more when Im in cold countries and I have to take off my gloves and my sunglasses to use the phone. doh.gif

Roger that. Adding to cart now.
I use multiple different Oakley all around and no issues to unlock.
It has been this way since X or experiencing it now only?
Tried registering your face again?

Have not tried with my current XS Max though. But it didnt work my my previous X. Mine is the cycling type of Oakleys, with polarised lenses. I have tried with my MFrame, Radar, Jawbone, Jawbreaker. Not sure why.

I'm using few Polarized, Conductor6, SquareWire, Tinfoil and one with Prizm lense. All work just fine.
Try adding one face id without sunglasses and since now can setup alternate appearance, do one with sunglasses on.
*
Lol. Thats what Im thinking too since you can do now under alternate appearance. I have read that face id sometimes fail to detect when mirror like lenses block your eyes from being identified by face id.

It came in the post yday.

Ordered from the web site.

Feels so nice and premium. Now I know why people always buy black ops and the premium range.

My esim works flawlessly now. I figured out the hotspot thing!

Maybe you could write out the steps and post it up here so others could learn too. Maybe even ask the sleeping TS of this thread to put this up on the first page.

I ask repeatedly is it refurbished, but the CS denied. Just said it’s brand new, same spec with mine. While it’s not sealed set, only the phone.

EDIT: since they refused to replace the battery which initially I’m willing to pay for (rm121)...

with additional rm78; I get a new / refurbished phone is better than my scratched / cancer (67% battery health) old iP6+ right!?
*
Apple call it a Seed unit. It is actually a refurbished unit that is thoroughly checked and battery replaced to make it perform like new.

Hi guys anyone experiencing autoreboot on their iphone xs max 256gb ??? Mine autoreboot two times already 🤔
*
Never experienced self reboot. Must be a bad restore or rogue app running in the background. Start with u uninstalling the latest app.

Since we have the nano Sim already. Unless we apply new turbo Sim for extra phone.

Just now went to google, even the Sim tray have to converted as well.
*
The purpose of a TurboSIM is to spoof the iPhone when the carrier is requested by the baseband firmware, so that if the iPhone is carrier locked, it believes that the SIM is from the carrier to which the iPhone is locked.

This has nothing to do with your nano sim bro. biggrin.gif

It has been around since the IPhone 5 for users to use carrier sim locked IPhones. I never bought these type of iPhones before personally though it is usually much cheaper.

Does they accept M’sia Credit/Debit Card (VISA/MasterCard) for payments?

Why not? But bear in mind you must send it back to the country of purchase for Apple Care for RMA and service.

Yes bro. Us set. This seller give me
1) case
2) sp
3) UK adapter (dont know ori or not. But mcm ori)
4) a verizon sim card
5) and sealed “unlock” iphone xs max 64gb

A bit weird initially with the verizon sim card. I tot ive ordered a fully unlocked set. Scared summore when the phone during activation ask me to call verizon first before pressing next.

I just press next and without using the sim, managed to activate it. Felt relieved.
Yes bro. Xs max 64gb.
Much2 better than the shopee scam glitch voucher. That one cost rm4.5k. Saving total of 1k for a new iphone just after launch really satisfied me compared to last year experience. Lol. At last got the phone that is similar to iphone x pricing.
*
If you manage to activate it means its unlock and good to go. You should only be worried if they include a turbo sim inside your package. laugh.gif

Worked as in past tense? I meant if you are not working or staying there, then there is no point buying there.

QUOTE(limkj @ Nov 14 2018, 11:40 PM)
When we buy in Australia, as tourist we get GST rebate of 10%. It will then be cheaper. We see the prices in Australian apple store with GST.

Also FYI, the prices listed in the US apple store is without tax. So depending on which state you are in the US, you will need to pay tax which varies from state to state.
*
I know. I graduated from USQ and I still go Aus once a year for holiday. But given so, even with the 10% gst rebate, Aussie sets are still not cheaper compared to if you were to get HK sets from T&L or official My sets at discount. You have to take into account the hassle you have to go through if you need to RMA.
