You bought directly from their website or do they have a local distributor here?

Anyways, this is the case: -

Bro! Welcome back! How’s kiasu land treating you these days?

directly from them, the USD conversion hurts so much 😭

yeah i am looking at the Ghost case as well, let me try out my Nomad one first and see if my hands itchy again or not haha.

are you going for 15PM this round? i feel like i downgraded, coming from a 13PM to 15P because i had enough of big phones.

this case looks good - for those looking for an alternative leather case apart from Nomad.

sometimes ‘investing’ in a decent case is worth it. i mean it’s an expensive piece of tech, unless we have AppleCare then sure, can go naked full monty. otherwise…

Yep that's correct.
Let me ask Andrew's sifu tongue.gif
Andrew sifu, does dbrand charges shipping fee when we claim warranty?

I am thinking to ship the product to someone in US then ask that fella to bring back, save some shipping fees biggrin.gif
*
yup you will need to pay the shipping fee, usually its quite cheap la to be honest. i am referring to standard shipping, not express shipping. i previously paid $5 for my replacement

400 bucks for an Apple device which can be used as opposed to leaving it in the drawer .
So price is worth it in my book. Just be mindful that older devices may not be getting critical security patches with the iOS upgrades if it is out of support.
*
i agree with your point on the battery replacement. for those purchasing a well taken care iPhone 13 at a secondhand price just need to fork out 400 bucks and you have a quality phone that is still decent enough to compete with the latest flagships.

i don’t think support is an issue with Apple devices. i mean, you will get at least 5 years of major OS updates from Apple - even iPhone XS that was launched in 2018 will still receive iOS17.

the great thing about Apple is continuity - i think for most people. 5 years should be the max they will keep their phones la haha

Guys, apple only have 20W charging brick but don't have 25W charging brick, so where do you guys get the 25W charging brick or any recommendation since Ip 15 Pro max only support 25W max.
Don't want to get the 30/35W from apple because very bulky blink.gif
*
can consider a GAN charger like Aukey or UGreen. this charger should have multiple ports so can charge multiple devices simultaneously. i have both 100w and 65w ones foe different use case and now with USB-C, i can finally utilize my 2M long USB C cable 😂😂😂 meaning can use phone in bed without needing to sit by the charger.

Now seems like Apple has set a new bar of 5 years of iOS support for devices from iPhone X onwards unlike last time exceptional case such as iPhone 6s can even get a crazily long of iOS support for 7 years.

5 years of iOS support is still decent enough for a phone comparing to Android which is a good time for anyone to change phone anyway.

Whether worth it to spend rm400 to change battery for 5 years old device now such as iPhone X and older will then depends whether one still use the old devices. But to be fair they are still decent as a backup device or spare device.

I am still using my iPhone 6 Plus (with battery change two years ago at Apple Store Orchard) before it was moved to vintage device as my spare phone to put a secondary school just to receive OTP or WhatsApp or calls and nothing else. Still decent for normal usage such as waze also sometimes given its bigger display to put in car for navigation despite that I have iPhone 14 pro max as main phone.
*
yup exactly, so this is the reason why Apple’s amazing. Samsung should be the second in this, think their OS support is 4 years?

Can Celcom/DiGi folks comment if this is right, or is the RM10 for the 5G booster already included into the monthly plan bill?

If this is correct then it's no surprise to see U Mobile with the lowest cost of ownership, but maxis coming in second is very surprising!
*
iPhone 12? 🤔

but in all honesty, Maxis’ plan has already bundled the RM10 premium for 5G, previously it was 128 then they alang-alang added 60GB for extra RM10 and discontinued the other plans to make it seem like they don’t charge extra for 5G lol.

Hahaha, yeah, typo - should be 15. I’ll fix it after work today.

The thing is you don’t get an option with maxis - they don’t call it a booster or anything, it’s just their new postpaid plans now. I imagine for Celcom and DiGi you get the option? That is if you don’t sign up for their iPhone plans.

Anyways it’s not surprising that all telcos will want to milk the early adopters for as much as possible.
*
haha no worries bro, good analysis nevertheless.

Maxis doing capitalist things, as usual. how do you get more adoption rate for your new plans? force users to upgrade as a qualifier to purchase iPhone 15.

look boss, our adoption rate is at an all time high. our new telco plans are attractive boss! 😂😂😂

joke aside, our beloved minister challenged the additional charge for 5G, until now no sound one. really tin kosong 😭

what is the latest status for maxis pre-order 15 pro max ?

my status still showing order submitted tho

i pre-order on friday midnight

maxis’s tracker is redundant one, it won’t update as frequent as other telcos.

if your collection / delivery date is stated on your order page, very likely you’ll get it on the said date

Maybe on 29th you guys need to early Q at Maxis store where you wanna collect the phone before stocks run out for that day. I guess.

no such thing.

Maxis iPhone collections are allocated by slot / booking - those available for collection can only be collected by the person who has already booked the device.

This is common reply. They already received the stock as some already send out.

My unit already at courier services, just on hold by them as they cannot release before 29 Sept, 2023.

The best is check the tracking from here https://store.maxis.com.my/ordertracking
*
i think it is different for branches that are not owned by Maxis - meaning 3rd parties.

for those opted for delivery, usually it will be dispatched from the central HQ / warehouse, then only it will trickle down to receivers and other partners. so i guess these branches haven’t gotten their allocations yet, most likely will be late today because they might not want them to hold the stock too early?

Really tired man waiting for their confirmation

Bro if you got any latest updates please post here, i will also do the same since there is not much maxis subscriber po here

yeah for sure. i am in contact with my Maxis outlet, they told me that they will call customers once they have received their stocks. i think if you can someone’s contact within the centre then its much easier.
