Late to the party here, ordered on 26th Oct from apple website, arriving today via DHL courier lol. Bought a 20W charger and a Spigen ultra hybrid clear case for some protection without obstructing the phone's aesthetics.

Are screen protectors recommended btw?

Coming from a Samsung Note 10 user which is 80grams lighter than 13PM, a bit skeptical not getting one when switching over to 13PM haha. Would definitely get one soon. Thanks!

I guess I just got lucky at the time,probably they just came out with a new batch. Placed order on 26th, at first the ETA was 17th to 25th November, but then on 30th I got a message saying it's already in SG. Very surprised I got it much earlier

Sorry missed this question, i ordered 256GB 13PM ya

Really? I had no idea since im ex Samseng user haha. Visited most machines shop they told me need wait 5th batch and asked me to deposit. So i directly went to Apple website to buy. Either lucky, or they had upped their sierra blue models' production lol

Wonder if anyone else got it the same time as I got mine, if it's just 6-7 days like my previous order, might just get another for family member.



(Status update mentioned 3rd November,but I actually got it on the 2nd)

I second this. But if they come out with those rubberised, slip on lens protectors then I might get it haha. Leaving it carefully exposed for now.

Looks gross...with all those glue stain there. Even if we manage to remove the stains it might risk leaving scratches in their place

Suggest you go to those Machines outlets with less people, I went to Sunway one they x layan much, just say will arrive next year lol

yeap I’ve decided to give it a pass and go with naked, never had lenses before, and this time thought of beautifying the lens with added accessories…after much thought though, better just avoid unnecessary trouble

Same here, using it naked without case now. My Spigen ultra hybrid clear case already feels greasy after 2 weeks. Took it off coz can't tahan the oilly feel. Will try Ringke next hehe 🤪

Yeah according to comments here its more inclined towards Spigen's Ultra Hybrid cases. I'll try out the Ringke Camouflage one then, it looks solid from pictures!

Anyone tried the double tap behind phone function? Tried setting double tap to lock screen, but noticed it's not really functioning well. Especially if i'm in an app or using a case. Probably have something to do with sensitivity of the back part

Congrats! nope so far no issue on the SIM card. How long have u been using this SIM? Probably needs to be changed due to wear/tear. I did have some puzzling battery moments tho. When charging up to 80% it stays at 80% for long period of time before it goes to 81%. While using it outside, it took a full 30 mins for it to drop from 80% to 79%. Something u only experience when its dropping from 100% to 99%. Optimized charging turned on btw.

How much they cost on Taobao? If only slight difference I don't mind getting one heheh

Initially found this on shopee for only RM20. Lots of positive reviews. As for protection hmmm...🤔

Most likely metalic spray painted plastic sides and TPU on the back cover.
Got it for 12.90 after applying free shipping and RM5 shop voucher lol

DIY Repair, yay or nay?

Search up MKBHD on youtube. He just shared his thoughts regarding this matter

Patiently waiting for ios 15.2 release to enable Automacro toggle that appears when u get close to an object. Currently have to manually enable/disable it at Settings

There's an express replacement service where u get a replacement unit before u send yours back to them. Allows u to at least back up and transfer to new unit. But not sure if you're eligible or if there are charges for that.

4-7 days is crazy long if you're using it as your main phone. Maybe try visiting Machines store and see if they can do on the spot replacements? Bought an iphone 4 back in 2010, cant detect my SIM out of the box, got a replacement from Machines back then. Not sure if it works now, one way to find out!
