Should be ok I guess , but why not just call the outlet and inform them.

Went back to the store same day, just an hour later. They already throw away the casing. So I take that he must have already wiped clean the phone because seems like they're following some kind of strict SOP.

Always a risk there, since nothing can be done now, I suggest sending them an email just to be sure the data has been completely wiped off, of course with the staff’s name, serves as a report for future reference.

good idea. i'll do that.

my last exchange with the staff before leaving the store was, he asked me to double confirm if i have anything i want to save from the old phone because he's about to reset the phone. i can see he's already have some sort of RFiD sticker ready too for the phone possibly for inventory. would be nice if he ask me to stay to supervise the resetting process.

mistake on my end too because i was too nervous at that time. first time spending this much for a phone.

yea it happens, sometimes we just get distracted over stuffs…but I think should be fine coz they are reputable and have strict policy, not any small shops etc…

Can I check how reliable is the face recognition especially with mask with Iphone 13? I am using fingerprint and find it to be easy and secure so far.

Pretty good with 13 mini. Got option to add face mask and glasses. Touch id and fingerprint never worked on me.

They have replied. Gave me some photos of the phone and hello screen and said all data has been wiped. Seems like the phone is set to be recycled I think. Didnt say my data is safe not compromised, just assurance that phone is now reset already. Oh well, dont think the staff would do any shady things since the shop is busy with customers.

Just a reminder to do backup/reset yourself.

yea, thats great... at this point, i think any assurance is good..

got a brand new iphone 13 128gb blue colour for sell if anyone interested.

brand new as in unused unopened? PM best price...thanks...

hello, any recommendations of a temperred glass brand. blend of quality & price.
i know one one end you got quality but ex ones like Spigen cost rm80+, then on other end got cheap quality china ones rm2.
any decent price in between that is quality from your experience? am sure spigen probably just rebrand better quality china-made ones. so if anyone know of a cheaper spigen, do share!
or especially ones that got a kit to help have perfect fitting!

I used to believe cheap tempered glass is better than expensive, cheap break just buy another new cheap TG.
However, a friend recommended me to use Panzer glass brand.

I bought panzer glass from IT world and they applied for me on spot. It will cost a fortune. around 100+ one. but i never have to replaced since oct 2021 and it still looks brand new. really worth to buy expensive one. dropped numerous times on floor but never cracked or have visible scratches or crack. wished i can take photo to show but i only have one iphone.

currently my set up is UAG plasma armour and panzer glass TG. UAG plasma armour kinda beaten up and look terrible cuz the plastic get a lot of hairline scratches but my TG is still looking great. both item i started using since OCT 2021.

thanks for recommending. i just watched his video - https://youtu.be/Knv5_zc8ghA

but basically he says, either got for the cheapest one and just replace everytime when it breaks... or just get the high end premium diamond/saphire/vibranium one if you really want the standout quality

actually his test not good. normal ppl wont drop brick on their phones. only drop phone and screen crack. he should do a drop test instead of a brick test. a bit biased. from day to day use, if a high quality one can last for 1 year without breaking or showing scratches, i would go for it instead of changing cheap one every 2 months. the money spent on both method probably the same in the long run but the experience you get from an expensive one is so cool and minus the hassle to go shop keep changing new one.

im a careless user and often drop my phone 2-3 times per month. nothing has occured to my iphone ever since. but do noted that maybe my casing is the reason the phone is well protected so i gave my casing model to let you know as well

The paint around the camera lens is easy to get chipped?

I just chipped mine using just my nail. Saw some dust and lint near the camera lens, try to clean it, then I found that the paint gone.

yes. thats why u can buy this camera lens protector to protect. i bought and apply by self. easy and cheap.

i mean, what kind of material does apple use for the camera outer ring thingy? i thought it was supposed to be aerospace grade aluminium? even my taobao pc case wont have their paint chipped from nail scratch.

no idea. they are getting more and more fragile imo. i got mine chipped a few spots then only realize then just buy the mentioned protector to prevent from further spots. haha.

just got screen protector that gives camera protector as well. this thing attracts dust and fingerprints too easily. and it looked funny. camera flash also become reflected inside the glass.

maybe ill try for a week. after that im yolo.

edit: okay i think i can safely say that tempered glass on the camera is a bad idea. picture doesn't come out right due to reflection from the glass. flash photo become weird.
