guys suddenly my XR has a hairline crack right in middle of screen eventhou i never dropped my phone or even hit it against something hmm.gif

Gonna try contest this with Apple service centre to get them exchange for new phone. what are the odds i can win this?

Hence why I tried their prepaid

Couldn't register for FaceTime though.

hoda easy break when dropped lol.. nvm i will look again. maybe buy more lol

we dont know who is at fault really, our phones by default has been proven that if you register with foreign countries bank that supports apple pay, it works

but if using local cards, it rejects (i tried this too)

so remains to be seen who doesnt want to support. i had a feeling its apple who wants to bring it but they dont bother pursuing cause local bank is uninterested and predicted low demand. so in the end both mutually decided theres no need to

Finally, got my replacement XS Max back.

MacCity handled the warranty. And initially, they gave me some issue saying that my phone (T&L) is a China Unicorn unit. They can’t process the warranty. It is only accepted for China Mobile.

After talking to Apple support again, and requesting Apple to make this warranty. They did as what Apple told them to.

And I’m unsure if this information is true. The technician mentioned that China Unicorn models have different bands compare to the rest of the world. So he is suspecting why I’m having the slow data issue. Which is not compatible with Malaysian bands.

Short story, Apple replaced me back with a local MY unit. E-Sim and Sim. I don’t have Maxis to try on the E-sim. So I can’t report back if my problem is still lingering on this new phone.

Update on the spotlight search, after switching everything off related to siri and suggestion ( pain in the **s ) because i need to individually click on the button one by one and i hv over 100++ app. The search became instantaneous again.

Bro, taobao can get cheaper?

I wouldn’t go for Ringke, it turns yellowish pretty fast...spigen on the other hand is longer lasting...caudabe is good if you don’t mind small holes at the corner
