Tried walk in/calls Penang's Switch and Machine including Urban Republic still no stock for Pro max Graphite 256GB, wanted to get before Christmas sigh.. I saw alot KL/Seremban area has the stock but none in Penang. Sad

Yeah, the stock situation at Machines/Switch at Klang Valley has improved significantly. I still see long queues outside their stores though which is crazy. Was at One U over the weekend and wanted to go to Machines to take a look at the new MacBook Pros but the queue turned me off!

Walk in Pre-order,Walk in Purchase and Purchase online its all different thing, i was told.

They will leave 1-2 units for walk in, others is pre-order.
*
Oh, wasn’t aware of that. Anyways, I do think there is still some sort of shortages from Apple due to supply constraints from their suppliers. Christmas is the last “big” shopping event for them before next year then folks will start waiting for the 14 series already.

Hahaha, yeah, my fault.. a bit lazy to check the forum lately biggrin.gif

oh ok, Penang should have limited stocks but Klang valley's hype has slowed down a lot..some retailers here tend to stock in more of the Graphite and S.Blue due to higher demand..and harder to get gold and silver..
*
Yeah, I would have thought the hype would have died down by now but I still see the queues outside Machines and Switch in the popular malls in the Klang Valley though… and most of them are queuing up for iPhones still laugh.gif

Hi all,

Sorry for such question #touchwood, but has anyone ever claim warranty on the IP13 pro/pro max before?
Any advice on procedure or recommendation for SC around KV area?
Bought mine from Machines.
Read machines sc in mv has mixed reviews.
Recently was watching video in the dark and noticed there seem to be a dead pixel on my phone screen.

Thanks in advance

There’s also an IT World service centre at Sunway GEO, and there’s hardly any crowd there as well. Do note they operate only on regular office hours though and are not open on weekends.

May be a dumb question, how do you guys run/jog with pro max, such a huge and heavy device? Armband? Belt/fanny pack?

I just hold it in my hands and keep switching from left to right every 1km or so, hahaha… Think of it as a simultaneous workout for your arms coz the phone is heavy laugh.gif

Maybe… I a bit abandoned Apple Watch also. Got too tiresome to keep charging it. Belt Fanny… I strap to the back and tie it hard. But if you run long distance.. definitely not the way to go.

I also tend to leave it behind. Can’t call me.

Apple just decided glass material looks premium with the steel band. Others are just copying. Only other way is to go for those plastic materials which are definitely lighter. Else really is a smartwatch approach.
*
Same here.. When I first got the AW I felt so liberated being able to run without carrying the phone, while still being able to stream music through the watch while running. And it’s even cooler when someone calls me during the run and I can answer it directly - feels very James Bond-ish. But watching the battery drain like no tomorrow on the watch after an hour and a half or so of working out I decided to just carry the phone instead of having to keep charging the watch.

Coz it’s a smaller battery, 4600mAh. Pretty respectable already for a battery less than 5000mAh smile.gif

Haven't arrive la... just bought through Maxis website. I dunno got cable or not... so means no charger head only la, right?

It will come with a USB C to lightning cable, hence you need to look for a USB C PD (Power Delivery) charger - 20W will do, as that’s about all the iPhone supports. Some options are: -

A) UGreen 20W PD USB Quick Charger

B) Aukey PA-Y25 PD Charger

C) Ori Apple 20W PD Charger

There are more options of course, but I think you get the idea smile.gif

13 Pro Max charges up to 30W (which is causes the battery to heat up quite a bit  sweat.gif ) First time I connected I was wondering why the battery so much hotter than my previous Xs Max.
*
Ohh, my bad. I just checked… Officially it’s 25W but can go up to 27W, hehehe..

I used to charge mine with my 12W iPad charger so it takes forever to charge, but on the plus side it does not heat up at all laugh.gif

Last time when I found the battery being so hot, I actually plugged in the type-c PD checker.. it went close to 30W so I assumed 30W  laugh.gif

Side note, with the awesome battery life of 13PM, I just usually charge on the classic 5W charger haha and maybe to about 80~90% and usually per day usage I only use about 40-50% of battery. more than enough. So yeah it takes even longer for mine tongue.gif
*
Wow, you use the classic 5W one - lagi hardcore laugh.gif

Welcome me with ip 13 Pro , silver white. Cont.  Contract with maxis.

Previous come from ip 6s, and XR last within 3 years usage.

Let me give my opinion..

Physical Size yes a bit smaller then XR term of wide.
Notch smaller. Still no battery percentage. “4G” wording status on top very large! Weird.
With 3 camera bump, lay on desk out of balance, lol.
And power/volume button placement offset lowered awkward for me. I like it much a higher set, feel much normal with previous other models,  xr and ip 11.
Side shining side chassis? Lolwat.. if 1 scratch, u will crying everyday. Why not matte.

screen feel sharp, oled yes. I set 60 hz only. Not significant performance screen for my eye. I seeing only while doing side swipe, opening apps. Not youtube, photo.. scrolling articles or reading? Meh.. u not scrolling fast to read page by page.. Challenge me why need 120hz..

Will continue more.. come share your thoughts and burn me.
*
Well, generally, we don’t “burn” people here laugh.gif

- Yeah, the reduced notch with no additional info available on the status bar such as battery percentage makes no sense to me too
- The camera bump causing the phone to be not balanced when laid on the table can be solved by one of two ways - getting a case, or laying it down on the screen.
- Power button lower is meant for easier reach with the finger when using single-handed but ya, it’s a matter preference
- That shining side is stainless steel - makes the phone more premium than the matte aluminium on the regular iPhone 13 - but yes, it is a fingerprint nightmare. Again, get a case to avoid scratches.
- Because you came from the 6S and the XR on 60hz, you don’t feel that much of a difference with the 120hz especially during scrolling. But if you are used to 120hz, going back to 60hz is a challenge. I’ve used the 13 Pro Max for a couple of months before downgrading back to the 11, initially I can see the difference between the refresh rates but now I’ve gotten back used to 60hz. Again, it could be a matter of preference. Some people have sharper eyes to distinguish this while some people can’t appreciate it - especially those who are used to using iPhones.

Overall, the 13 Pro is a great phone to have and a nice upgrade from your XR. Enjoy the phone!

care to elaborate what visual difference can be expected from the higher refresh rate?

/me never cared of it before. not looking to argue against or for, but want to understand the not-so-recent phenomenon of aiming for higher refresh rate on a phone. i simply set to lower rate to supposedly conserve battery.
*
Scrolling around just feels smoother, but like celciuz said, if you don’t see a difference then you don’t need it.

For the 13 Pro, it’s best to leave the refresh rate to auto, coz it can go lower than 60hz when the screen is static and you would be conserving more juice then.

let me share other thing;

- sound great from 2 speaker, and it stereo.. however i feel it too high pitch. to much noisy.. this on all sound, video watch, social media.. for music yes controllable with music EQ, i choose treble reducer, a relieve. pheww.. but not overall sound control.
- battery 2 days extra look promising
- no charger provide a bit off to me. but i use ipad air, which come free, 2 year device, somemore with type C! loorrrr.. does justification on pricing? lower cost, no charger?
- for camera, great i got 3 now to explore. heee.. capture image produce nice. only thing, when snap picture, then i preview the image immedietely, those capture image still look in processing ( likely 0.2-0.5 sec delay - blur and then sharp) on sunny light or any situation. i do feel it having processing delay for output. well it me only or not. cos by large image size? im not satisfy on this.. no , im not enable proRaw or ProRes..
- another side, u not having option for Macro shoot, unless it detect near focus object.. not helping in situation.. or does we have specific macro switch? shotcut how?
- as for video, still no option 720p x 60 fps.. the reason, most, and likely all phone user, video i share among whatsapp, facebook use with handheld device/phone.. not necessary 1080p or fullHD capable. if purpose to share on tv/monitor, yes HD is useful.

ok will share more .. come kick me ..

Yup, the speakers on the 13 Pro series is the best I've heard from any smartphone so far. As for no chargers, well, even Samsung has moved in that direction. Battery life on the 13 Pro Max lasted me two days with total of 10 hours screen time and close to 44 hours of standby. For lighter users, am sure the 13 Pro battery can go the distance too!

Will let the camera experts revert to you on your other opinions.

Oh, and we are all nice folks, we don't kick people here...

Anyone know 2nd hand price for IP 11 128GB? Feels like upgrading to 13PM, or should I wait 14? No urgency at all anyway
*
Usually by March, the smart thing to do would be to hold off on any new iPhone purchases till the next iPhone is announced, which is usually in September and that’s just 6 months away. By then you can decide if you want to wait for the 14 series or buy the 13 series at a discount.

The 11 is pretty dated by now. Might not be a good idea to still go for that unless you are buying it for a parent/kid to use.

Yah buyer no ask me

How much can reduce i saw many people sell normil price for new set sealed

I also sell its 100% sealed not yet activate warranty

The problem with the iPhone 13 Pro Max is the price, bro. To ask someone to pay above RM5000 cash to a personal seller is a tough ask. If the buyer buys from a shop, he has the option to pay in instalments or offset credit card points or use vouchers etc. There’s also the part about getting an official receipt for income tax deduction. For these reasons, it’s a tough ask to get a buyer unless your price is very attractive and is too good to refuse. But if your price is still close to the retail selling price, then definitely people would prefer to look elsewhere.
