The hardest was probably whitedome QUOTE(silencer5089 @ Nov 6 2020, 03:53 PM) luckily the case came today from taobao. was butt itchy at first wanna get max again this year due to better battery life. but the size raelly cannot.  been ranting it too big since i got the 11 pro max last year. Baby clothes arrived. Its heavier for sure, the 12 or 12 Pro size is ideal for the masses.

Machines always like to force people to buy their sampah extended coverage. Another reason why I am hesitant to buy from them.
When I bought my iPad Pro previously also same case, the staff keep pushing so many times until I also wanted to slap him in the face.

QUOTE(foxtrotmike @ Nov 6 2020, 05:14 PM) You guys think Apple's website going to crash tonight? Or we gonna see stock selling out instantly? 😂 No it won’t. A trillion dollar company’s website is built like a tank. Can’t say the same for our telco or retailers la QUOTE(vez @ Nov 6 2020, 05:22 PM) tempted to get leather case and magsafe, somehow seems not going to have it tonight  Machines told me it will be available on the 13th. Next Friday lor

So basically only Premium Authorized Apple Retailers and telco will have stocks for 13th? I know Lazada also ships from 13th onwards.

QUOTE(soitsuagain @ Nov 7 2020, 10:03 AM) That's the thing I am wondering. Would Lazada ships same day for those order on the 13th? I preordered mine but only gets on 19th. This I am not too sure, one of the reason why I decided against Lazada / Apple. Also I prefer to collect myself physically so I can look-see what other stuff to add on, on the collection day itself lol. QUOTE(attw @ Nov 7 2020, 10:05 AM) Ahh, your unit lambat sampai... looks like no teh tarik session for us Klang folks next weekend as planned, hahaha... I'm also only gonna get my unit on 14th at maxis, hopefully they don't screw up after promising to reserve a unit for me... Laaa baru nak ajak lepak after Deepavali.

QUOTE(attw @ Nov 7 2020, 10:27 AM) Hahaha, postpone dulu Reserved bro. Time, date and venue already set. We'll see on the 14th. Anyways, like I said, I'm in no hurry. If got ok, if not then wait lor. I got the UAG plasma but it's also pretty pricey. Nillkin is a pretty good cheaper alternative. Hope you get yours next week! QUOTE(micwin1437 @ Nov 7 2020, 10:32 AM) i will drop by at 8:45am on the 13th to check out the stock that i wanted, better view the unit on the spot so can reject and exchange on the spot for imperfection.......for delivery there is no chance for rejection except send back to relleser to arrange for exchange at Apple Singapore if there is imperfection (manufacturing defect) Actually I prefer to open it myself - the unboxing experience is unique man. But most of the time, I wont open it in the store or let them open it. Once I let Machines open my device, the broke the box. So angry lol.

QUOTE(blacktubi @ Nov 7 2020, 09:11 PM) One thing I don't like about the leather case is the color will darken as it age. Using 70% alcohol to sanitize the case will damage the leather as well. Not ideal in this pandemic. I think its called the Patina effect - it’s common for leather to show wear and tear. Has that rugged look, but I think not many will like it la. But I’m only concern when you use the MagSafe with the leather - will it have a circular mark after a long run. QUOTE(moodytea @ Nov 7 2020, 09:28 PM) using apple leather case since iphone x, best touch feeling case, always go back to it after trying other cases. protection is ok too, drop few times from waist height / chest height, no dent or scratch. Better than Nomad’s? I was always hesitant to buy Apple’s leather case due to the lack of coverage for the bottom part of the phone This post has been edited by andrewtho: Nov 7 2020, 09:30 PM

QUOTE(inkyoctopuss @ Nov 7 2020, 10:51 PM) Guys, anyone pre order from Mac City but the status is still showing processing until today but didn’t received any confirmation email. Besides that the money already successful transfer to Mac City. Check your junk mail. I paid in full via credit card, got confirmation email immediately - just that the status is still under processing as well.

QUOTE(rayhvs @ Nov 8 2020, 02:03 AM) just thinking should i buy ugreen 18w or 30w power adapter? Will 18w charge slower? If you’re planning to use cable charging, either will do fine. If you’re gonna use Magsafe to charge, please only buy the Apple 20w USB -C charger because any other charger will not give you 18w output, not even Apple’s 36w/96w - they will just give you 10 or 15w output via Magsafe. 3rd party even slower, capped at 10w.
