QUOTE(Mackiddo @ Oct 1 2023, 12:52 PM) well the English are pretty simple to understand. actual legal warranty for iPhone. your own experience in this doesn’t mean the legals doesnt apply. IMO Apple will normally honor the warranty but they have to protect themselves incase of special cases hence the disclaimerhttps://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/produc...ac-english.html |

QUOTE(dikae @ Sep 29 2023, 02:18 PM) Spoke to Apple directly via phone, after 2 hours on the line being transferred around, finally the senior supervisor/ manager took over the case and told me he saw those pics and he would personally return it if its his unit, scratches are obvious and absurd, he reassured me they will contact maxis to issue a replacement. He said Maxis is not their accredited resellers like Machines/ Switch etc, they are third party so it will take a while. He will go directly to maxis's dispute team, which handle cases like these, and get them to send instruction to the stores directly to issue replacement. I'm expecting 2-3 weeks for these... some updates on my case- Apple called this morning to update, apparently its a common issue, he said from the report it shows Maxis has 20+ similar cases and reports, celcom digi all also got, but umobile has highest number of reports amongst all the Telcos..my unit will be replaced on next batch which is Oct 13... so take note whoever ordered from Telcos, the next batch will be Oct 13.... after that will be Oct 18 yes only 5 days gap for next batch)... this info comes from Apple, so should be reliable i guess? |

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Oct 3 2023, 11:47 AM) 20+ picky buyers. Not sure about being picky, but when open box and see scratches all over the phone..I doubt anyone would accept it, unless desperate buyers maybe..it’s definitely Apple QC and partly the titanium material issue made it prone to scratches while packing I guess..This time, Apple QC really went down the drain. Scuffgate la, OHeat Gate la... Cant blame Bharat made either because phone is still made in China. QUOTE(fruitie @ Oct 3 2023, 11:47 AM) Not just telco, even Apple I’m sure…but because my case is from telco so he looked into telco reports…he also emphasized that the buyers remorse law is applicable even in Malaysia, where customers are entitled to reject products during unboxing on the spot in their shop..if bawa balik rumah then cannot….but again I’ve also opted for maxis safe device..so 2 ways there…he also confirmed that cases like these are entitled for brand new unsealed box units, no flat white box or seed unit (they call it refurbished units). Personally I’m not too ocd with these and would take it if it’s not too much, but the scratches in person is really bad, when compared to other units…rather wait 2-3 weeks than living with it for the next 12 months… This post has been edited by dikae: Oct 3 2023, 12:00 PM |

QUOTE(ultra.m.a.n @ Oct 3 2023, 12:03 PM) Order from apple store on 21 midnight. totally pointless to PO in that scenario, I attended a workshop/event by Switch at sunway pyramid last Saturday, and there were 2 fellas bought their iphones outright... shocking enough to know that prime outlets like sunway pyramid has stocks for walkins lol....1x 15 pro max (256) and another 15 pro (256).. both natural titanium...Estimated delivery in system showed 06/10 - 11/10. Just called apple CS, was told my unit delivery now changed to 09/10- 12/10. Damm what is the point for preorder? QUOTE(decavalera @ Oct 3 2023, 12:12 PM) Totally agree with you bro... I can feel what you guys are feeling if i am in your shoe... not sure if it helps but creating a summary of buying/PO experience on iphone 15 might vary..some people are happy Preordering from switch this year but could be a massacre last year, and so on... so it varies from year to year...Need to always check at least 1 yr ago PO buying eperience.. I'm also totally forget on my last yr exp... where i also did bought from Celcom... Celcom did open PO but with lower rate plan on the 3rd Day of PO, which i took.. After reading back last yr exp last Fri morning.. i actually did contact celcom to cancel my 15P PO with them thinking that better for me to wait who knows the same lower rate gonna be offered by Celcom on Sunday... But somehow my gut tell me that what will happen if celcom didnt follow last yr offer.. i might missed out the free goodies & received my 15P much2 later... so i decided to contact celcom again on Fri eve to cancel back my cancellation.. which in the end become a win situation (so far) since the same rate plan are being offered by celcom.. not sure in future week or month.. Suggest the soon newly create thread for 1p16 to include summary of the current 15 PO exp... And to add the coming new Apple Store at TRX.. with the official Apple store opening here next year, hope all the resellers/telcos across the board will up their pre/post sales services..

QUOTE(algerloo @ Oct 4 2023, 11:34 AM) ![]() Sorry, just curious, which of these pictures is the actual Blue titanium colour for the iPhone 15 pro max? I have never seen a real unit before till date, so I am shocked when I see the different colours of the Blue titanium. Not that there is no Apple retailers here, just that I have never really gotten the time to visit one. not sure why this is the least popular colour but its actually very elegant.... i'd think maybe coz of the 12 pro pacific + 13 pro sierra blue, people wanted something different.. otherwise this would be my fav colour...

QUOTE(dc89 @ Oct 5 2023, 05:59 PM) QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Oct 5 2023, 06:01 PM) Did it come in a seed box or a whole new box? Came in a brand new box. My case quite complicated, went up all the way to apple’s head of department highest tier (apparently their CS got many tiers bla bla bla), initially maxis reject and give issue cos telcos are third party, not apple’s accredited reseller, hence the rejection (funny thing even with maxis safe device they declined the replacement), when HOD intervene then all issues became no issue. The secret is you have to keep calling and nagging Apple customer service like an old uncle/auntie. Then you will get it fast. Telcos don’t get phones from Apple, they get from specialised distributor (they call it HQ) Conclusion, if buy from aasp all these would have been solved on day 2. Apparently Apple has a special ‘code’ when thrown out, the authorized resellers will not question further, straight replace 1 to 1…not applicable to third party…so lesson to me, buy from AASP or apple..

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Oct 5 2023, 06:56 PM) Yes. You need to turn it on Optimized Charging. But being me, with ocd kicking in, I just wouldn't let my phone charge overnight. Even with the auto stop charging cable from MCdodo plugged in. oh yea from brightstar...well well, im done with telco for good, my last 2 years tied contract on an iphone... moving forward it'll be apple store or aasp... downgrade telco plan etc is the way.... will still need to pay more than telco contracts but wont be much...+ the peace of mind and good after sales..Maxis get their phones from Brightst**. Those who know would know. To me, its all their "karate" techniques to make returns and exchanges as difficult as possible so that you would give up. Usually there are not enough stocks to go around during launch so ... yeah.... dc89 liked this post

Don’t want to deal with reseller/AASP also. yeap i'll mostly just get from apple store..and aasp if they throw good freebies etc.... but no more third party telcos for sure... very sure!Maybe by iPhone 16, Apple Store is open, can buy online and pickup in store. |

QUOTE(fireboy @ Oct 6 2023, 09:51 AM) Not really, i think they will priority stocking to Telco. This which happened in Japan, fren order from store still waiting lisitng, but Telco all ready stock and full fill. might also probably because more people buy from apple store than opening telco contracts hence the stock availability..QUOTE(steffleupagus @ Oct 6 2023, 09:51 AM) Based on all this info I’ve collected, it seems they ship out each batch weekly (this is just my best guess) wow until batch 8....yesterday when i collected mine, a friend offered 7k for it, thought he was joking but he said he's serious.. and can go abit higher if i wanted to... lmao...if i would've sold to him thats a straight off profit Batch 1 - last week Batch 2 - this week Batch 3 - 9 Oct onwards Batch 4 - 16 Oct onwards Batch 5 - 23 Oct onwards Hopefully each subsequent batch gets smaller so wait time gets reduced too. Btw I PO on 28 sept and am in batch 5. My friend PO last night and is in batch 8. I did ask Switch when walk in stocks would be available, he said most likely next year 😱 So for the rest of the year have to just PO and wait… This post has been edited by dikae: Oct 6 2023, 09:58 AM fireboy liked this post
