Haha, same bro, I have the cyan one for iPhone X. Thought it was limited edition so I kept it, but now that they’re making it again I don’t feel so special di

Apparently it's the same with maxis... I'm at Pyramid now and just chat with one of their staff - she told me our choice of pick-up centres will only call/email us tomorrow to tell us what time to pick up

Oh well....

Next year everyone will be at Apple Store TRX

Was told if you didn’t pre-order early on the 22nd, then chances are your pick-up/delivery date may be delayed by a week or so. Well that’s what the maxis guy I spoke to this afternoon told me.

That’s considered not too extreme already - I think earlier last week they asked for 8000 or something around those lines, hahaha…

Hahaha, mine also shows Pick and Pack for the longest time already but no further updates from them. So are you guys planning to just turn up anyway at your respective maxis centres tomorrow?

Hehe, alright man, all the best to us

Same

I think if you’re at Pick and Pack you should be relatively safe… kua…

GSMArena has published their review of the 15 Pro Max.. Their take on the viral heating issue: -

"Lastly, we did read reports of overheating iPhones, some during fast charging. For this review, we used two iPhone 15 Pro Max units, obtained from different retailers, and neither of those became unbearably hot even after an hour of GPU stress testing. Warm, rather unpleasantly (but not concerningly) - sure, but hot - never. We know people have experienced and documented such issues, but we haven't been able to replicate those so far on our units."

And they added: -

"While we have not experienced any overheating issues, some people have, and we believe there is some software problem that needs to be taken care of. Here is hoping Apple will fix that soon."

Also crickets from i-City Shah Alam, which is a maxis branch. Serves me right to choose a less popular branch, hahaha...

I have a sneaky feeling the heat issue is from iOS 17.. my 12 mini feels warmer than usual when connecting to CarPlay after the update....

When again did you place your order? 22 Sept, midnight?

I got the same message and just picked mine up from i-City, they even have a mini launch event with some light refreshments So chances are your unit is ready to be picked up at the centre you chose.

Yes, and that’s why I opted self pick-up, didn’t wanna sit at home and wait and wait and wait - learned from my previous experience with the 13 Pro Max

Yeah bro, my unit looks pristine. Maxis guy opened my phone to check and make a phone call (he says this is mandatory for those collecting it in person - I have no idea) and said if he the phone call doesn’t go through they’ll give a 1-to-1 replacement, but will not offer the same for cosmetic defects. Says its instructions from Apple - again, I have no idea how true that is too.

Nice bro, congrats!

Uhuh, that’s one of the benefits with ordering from Apple online. Well, next year we’ll have a physical Apple Store, so we’ll get better service for sure.

Oh, and also, I want to go on record and say -

Natural Titanium IS SO PRETTY!!!!

Yeah, same. Glad I picked this color too!

Yeah, I also came here to cancel my contract before the preorder - they are very friendly. Maybe coz they aren’t so busy here, hehe…

WTF.. how much data you have on the phone??

Oh wow, sakurazz!! The man, the legend! I bought accessories from him since Note 5, hahaha.. I mostly see him when I need his help to apply tempered glass on those annoying curved screen Samsung phones… best part about seeing him also is he has a variety of cases for you to try till you like then just buy. Is he still meeting customers at that McDs at Sri Damansara?

GSMArena's review said the weight made it feel like the regular iPhone 15 with aluminium frame and feels less premium compared to the stainless steel of old. Do you guys feel that?

Anyone with a 15 Pro Max sudah DIY tempered glass? How did it go, any issues with the ever so slight curve?

Just looking at Sunway Pyramid’s FB page - looks dem meriah wei… Anyone there got good deals on those accessories? Hahaha

My place (Central I-City) totally no fanfare at all, hahaha…

I bought this privacy glass SP from Lazada a couple of weeks ago and I must say I'm impressed. The packaging was good, it came with a fitting guide template and the tempered glass screen protector fits perfectly. I paid forty bucks for two pieces - what a deal!



Here's the link if anyone is keen: -

Haven't turned on the phone to test, hahaha.. I'll only start using the phone on Sunday night coz I need my banking apps to work without any issues tomorrow.. it's month end, got bills to pay

Any overheating issues observed on your unit?

I wanna weigh in on this subject as there's been so much talk about it the past few pages. So, in essence, the glass covering the lens is really durable. While Apple have in the past claimed it's made of sapphire, many YouTubers have debunked this and shown it is not pure sapphire. That said, I've only had one instance when the glass got chipped off at the edges, and that was because I dropped the phone from a considerable height. I've dropped many iPhones, many times but this was the one and only occurrence. Even with a case on. So it depends sometimes on the fall angle - and a bit of dumb luck. And while the glass is largely durable, I've noticed that for most of my iPhones since the 7 Plus, the paint around the lens cover seems prone to chipping off as well. I will clarify this has happened only to my non-Pro iPhones, the 7 Plus, the 8, the XR, the 11 and 13 (yes, I do buy that many iPhones). So I'm perfectly fine if someone wants to put a lens cover on their phone. I'm no photography expert by any means, but so far I've not seen any degradation of photos with a lens cover - either that or I'm blissfully oblivious to it, which I'm fine with that

Hey sis! I'm guessing you haven't gotten your unit yet? Hehe.. ok, so this heating up issue.. Apple has acknowledged it and there will be a software fix so I don't think you should be overly concerned. From my personal experience though, the phone ran warm during setup and initial transfer of data - and it stayed warm for a bit. It wasn't comfortable, but it wasn't unbearable either. You could still hold the phone and all. After that, my phone's been behaving normally, no heat issues. That said my early usage thus far is fairly limited to making sure all my apps are logged in, web browsing, some online shopping, streaming Apple music, YouTube and a bit of Facebook (yes, Facebook, so you know I'm old, hahaha)... I'll give more thoughts about my initial impressions of the phone tomorrow, after I've had it for 3 full days.

He's not wrong. Warranty claims for iPhones in different countries is not a given, it is solely dependant on Apple and it's service providers in the country you are claiming. Which is why we normally advise people to send a nicely worded email to Apple first about your phone issues before you head to the service centre if you bought your phone from another country. It helps. Also, Apple prides themselves in their CSAT ratings, so it's very unlikely they turn you down. Macs on the other hand have international warranty.
