Either:
1. Switch the country from US to MY on your current Apple ID (I am not sure if this is still possible now. I recalled it was allowed back then)
2. Register a new Apple ID as MY account

I also have the same problem like you where my 1st Apple ID is registered as US account. However since I use the US account very little I opted to create a 2nd Apple ID registered as MY account. I now use/subscribe using that MY account. If I really need to get something in US account, I will just log out MY account (in App Store, not Settings there), login to US account, download the app I want and logout-login back to MY account.

I only have a couple of app I link to US account (due to subscription and I have Apple credit in USD that I want to clear it off)

I used 2 Apple ID
One for US, one for Malaysia

Can US Apple account accepts Malaysia credit card as payment method?

I think it’s due to the number of devices if you connect Bluetooth

If i have my headphones then it will show up a list but if nothing is connected then speaker will be the option

Is "Calls On Other Devices" on or off for your iPad? (Settings > Phone > Calls On Other Devices)

Hmm you probably need to disable Handoff entirely on your iPad then if you want to prevent it from showing up: https://support.apple.com/en-my/guide/ipad/...16784270/ipados

Do the phone make a beep sound whenever it starts up? Audio/Visual startup and shutdown sound is off in Settings.

I would wait for USB-C.

Mine is turned off but the sound still appears when start up. The sound is more like a beep instead of the Power On sound feature.

Or just Europe version. Global still lightning.

I tried with the sound off in accessibility. No sound off and on.

Hopefully they do not use slower USB C port like the news on iPad 10th gen.

Without physical buttons as well. Would be interesting if they pull this off.

This is referring to power on and off. Someone earlier that despite turning every sound off, including in accessibility where you can off sound in Audio/visual then ‘power on and off’, his iphone still is not silent when power on and off.

I thought the law regarding usb-c by the end of 2024, all mobile phones, tablets and cameras sold in the EU will have to be equipped with a USB Type-C charging port. From spring 2026, the obligation will extend to laptops. So Apple need to comply with the law.

If they were to make a portless iphone and using magsafe with usb-c wont it cost more since now they have to supply magsafe with each new iphone? If they want to force millions to buy magsafe to charge their new iphones then they are risking people jumping to another brand. Its cheaper just to comply with the law and just put a usb-c like they have done on the ipad.

Not to mention  having wireless charging is still not there yet. Its a secondary optional charging way while usb-c is not only fast in charging, what if you need to transfer a big video file directly to your laptop/macbook?

Or even using Apple itunes  Connect to your iphone? What if people want to use their 3.5mm head phone jack? Cant sell a dongle for that if theres not port. If you change your battery at apple or authorize dealer they also need to connect your iphone to a computer to update so it wont display battery warning and will show battery health. The port isnt just for charging, its use for many other things.

Too much hassle when the solution is just to remove the lightining port and change it with a usb-c port is easy and cheap for Apple. They done it for the Ipad.

Just an update, I tried Reset all Settings. Looks like problem solved for now. I guess it was a glitch.

True, but restarting didn’t help this time. I had to reset all the settings. My guess is due to transferring the old settings from
an older phone which caused some kind of conflict with the new settings. Wild guess though.
