Apple store- DHL update

Saturday, October, 09, 2021 Location Time Remarks
13 Departed from facility KUALA LUMPUR - MALAYSIA 05:11

Thumbs up DHL team, really put up strong effort to catch up the time
*
Nothing to thumbs up. Normal DHL turnaround time. Just this time, for some mysterious reason, Apple decided to start shipping 7th. I said this earlier, should start 6th.

This case, can’t blame customs also. Consider lucky customs release fast on a Friday!!

Called dhl and was told that my parcel will be forwarded to dhl e-commerce for delivery. I reminded them better make sure it’s today they deliver to me  tongue.gif

That is a weird move. DHL express and DHL e-commerce really two different entities. Only DHL express is fast

Hey guys,

Just for quick question.

I’m a iPhone 12 Pro Max user for close to a year since launch.

The specs esp d display battery n cameras looks significant upgrades as many reviewers mentioned.

So is it a great upgrade to iP13 pro max over iP12 pro max?

Any iP12 pro max users switched to iP13 pro max?

Sekian!
*
Doubt anyone mention significant upgrade from 12PM to 13PM.

But if you got the money, why not.

Yea this is what I told apple customer service as they shipped late on 7th hence delivery partner is very stressful to meet the deadline.

Aahhh.. mine also still out for delivery. 😅

Looks like slipping to Monday

Update: mine is the last last batch for KL delivery. So it’s 1pm plus. DHL assures me is definitely today.

Below is 13pm above  is 12pm, both with True Tone disable and brightness around 10%.

I’m real life I can see 13pm is slightly faint red/pink, but at least it’s uniform instead of occurring on different patches of the screen.

Tested maximum brightness with white background too, can’t see any uneven lighting on screen.

Am gonna take it as good and time to restore from my iCloud.

Sorry, rclxub.gif maybe i missed. Cant find, how to check the red tint?

Using iphone to iphone transfer... took 2 hours for 200GB or stuff.

Things kinda got stuck loading apps. and there's a finish setting up Apple prompt in Settings. Keep hanging. rebooted it. Then things went fine.

Apple gotta do something about the transfer. Imagine i have 500GB or more.


Am i the only one, but honestly if no one mentions the weight, i can't tell. I need to hold 12PM and 13PM in each hand and swap around to be able to tell. Blind test also probably fail.

My suggestion, turn off Imessage. then reboot the phone. Then try turning on.

I am still looking for a clear case which won’t turn yellowish after a while of usage. Do post update after a while see if your case gets yellowish or not. Thanks.

QUOTE(emilyngsc @ Oct 9 2021, 10:00 PM)
Try Bodyguardz, Casetify or Mous. FYI, impossible won’t yellowish. Can prolong only!
*
Don't bother buying more expensive clear case, really what @emilyngsc said is true. It's prolonngggg only. If you calculate the premium you pay, not worth it.

Might as well just get a cheap clear case and change when it yellows.

Else, really avoid clear case.

Guys, one question

Can I pair the apple original lighting to usb c cable with 3rd party adaptor like anker, ugreen, aukey, for fast charging ?

Or it’s only will work with Apple Original power adaptor ?
*
Why not. I'm using Anker 20W charger with Anker cable. All my Apple charger and cable is preserved in the box.


Apple haven't yet lock down, only can use their accessories. (never know in future)

i try... currently I left Ipoh to JB alrdy. my another unit is with my fiancé in ipoh.

i think if you just gotten your iphone, wait no more file an issue with apple first.

The SA remind me that there is a 14 days return policy. currently i waiting apple senior advisers to call me back. appointment had been set.

mega_shok.gif  but i from the sound of the SA i dun think there is hope, chance are quite glimpe.

shocking.gif but i am still shock that in years 2021, we still having this sort of QAQC issue from the 1st 1 trillian company in the world.
*
14 day return referring to AOS right? I'm bad luck, always will opt to buy from AOS.


QAQC issues is probably few percent, but Apple sell so many, it's really very small figure.

I am still thinking about it now, becoz if go for replacement request now, there is quite high chances of getting a replacement that carry the same issue, as this is quite a widespread issue IMO, just that don't know whether it will be better or worse than what I have now. If better then good, otherwise going to repeat another round. So I need to think on whether I shud take a gamble on this. sweat.gif

Furthermore, this screen tint only noticeable when I do low brightness screen test in a full dark room, other than that, it is barely noticeable at all. Since it won't affect my normal/daily usage (I seldom use phone in darkness), I think shud be okay to keep, just in case at the end I decided to keep it.
*
If don't try, will have the one you have. If try, there is a chance to get a good unit. Ultimately is whether you are happy or not, or got like some thorn sticking up your rear feeling or not.

(I would, given the phone ain't cheap)

We are likely need to change simcard also. Maybe iphone 14/15 already come out then.

Looks nice.. i think haven't got imported. Oribags selling iphone 12 cases for UAG DOT.


hmm... this year, not much talk on nomad cases? now seeing Ringke, Spigen and UAG.

day 3 update of using my 13 Pro Max:

the good: i love how bright the screen can get - i use dark mode all the time and it’s still visible under hot sun

my old X kalau bright sunlight terus tak nampak apa-apa lol

the bad: typing one handed is kind of a bitch lmao - ended up i have to put down the phone on table to type this while i eat haha

QUOTE(OKLY @ Oct 11 2021, 01:36 PM)
Exactly same feel coming from X. Although I’ve gotten used to the size, reality is one-handed usage is really tough unless Apple comes up with some brilliant gestures for the Max, heck I can’t even swipe from the left edge of the screen to go back to previous page. sweat.gif

I’m guessing, u see how Safari address is located at the bottom, Apple is testing waters to start moving things at the bottom like how Samsung does it for one hand usage.

Is the paint chip under the glass?
Mine was 11PM which have worst paint chip under the glass and I only realised it after 8 months of usage because I was using casing all the time, one day I was cleaning the phone and notice it.
Walk into MAC City in 1-Utama, talk to one of their staff, big size idiot guy with fake British accent and he said : cosmetic defect not covered under warranty. He act like he knows all about Apple coverage……

Went back home and started to chat with Apple CS, long story short, I was ask to drop the phone at any APple Authorised Reseller and after 1 week, got a replacement phone.
Went to Mac City 1-Utama twice to look for fake British guy but he was not there. Just want to prove that he is wrong about his comment previously….

So you can try chat with Apple online and see what is their opinion…

Haha, all resellers are pretty bad. So far ITworld and Switch is okay to me. Others been hearing a lot of horror stories. QCD is okay, but a bit unsure what is what type.


QUOTE(Ben Ling @ Oct 11 2021, 02:34 PM)
guys , i see 13 series at display shop, they have MY set iphone though, however now i see we are getting ZP set
*
It’s probably due to this. https://sprtech.com.my/2020/11/16/iphone-12...no-more-my-set/. No different on MY or ZP. Just have to watch out for “replacement set” or “refurbished set”.

Why iPhone 12 I bought show ZP set? Is there no more MY set in Malaysia?
At the moment, only a small number of MY sets are available on the market, most of these my sets are demo sets, and only a few have entered the market, so most of the new iPhone bought are ZP. The new iPhones signed on major platforms and specialty stores are all ZP. Also the major specialty stores have also explained this.

those using apple leather case, can i know which cable you guys using..
the one im using right now ugreen c to l having tight tight fit to plug in.. like need some force...

do i really need to go back to apple ori cable?
*
I’m also having this problem. Apple Leather case this year, is a tighter fit and the charging hole is smaller. Previously using Anker cable, now also having problem. Thinking to see, can do some hole enlarging.

it’s not by brand, but the design.

Mine bought quite sometime. Anker powerline 2. Don’t think anyone selling this anymore.

One Anker cable, tight fit. Another is loose. I see it is due to the lightning charger head thickness.

The Youtube part is already been highlighted to apple as a known issue and will be fixed in the next update..

I also feel the lack of fingerprint unlock...Too used with my note for some time....especially when i lie down in bed with my specs off, susah nak unlock...Since i setup alternate face ID with mask. I cant do another without glasses... So kind of annoying juga.
*
QUOTE(zztienli @ Oct 11 2021, 03:34 PM)
good idea to setup alternative id with mask (hahaha didnt bother to think using that way to setup)
*
I also wearing specs. Didn’t set up alternate face.

Overtime, when not wearing specs, iPhone would slowly recognize and adapt. You just need to try unlock, cannot then key in password. Can’t say specific timeframe, but like I said. Over time, it will recognize you without specs.

Whether this lowers security or not… no idea.

It’s very short range. Like if you put your hands down one side, sometimes can’t unlock d.

And don’t bring phone to ktv. Problem solved XD
*
U will feel Apple Watch buzzing and use that to quickly lock it back. I like comment, don’t go KTV. biggrin.gif

I feel not that Apple doesn’t want to include TouchID, but if u see Apple 13 series tear down, no space really to put in.
