Ya no many choice. Last time iPhone 12 Pro Max I order from Machines and no such issue. This time they seems very worried as one of the shop said last model they get very little stock, both machines (second shop O go) and Urban Republic by switch actually encourage me get from apple.com 😅
I hope it is version 3.x, then I no need buy new one.  😅
*
I googled bro, and it’s USB 3.1 Gen 2 (up to 10Gb/s). So you’re good!

QUOTE(immobile @ Sep 18 2023, 03:29 PM)
just asking politely, does any sifus here know when does apple authorized resellers (machines, switch) will discontinue selling iphone 14 pro/max models? from previous past iphone launches, it is usually by mid october right?

do correct me if am wrong. tqtq
*
Until stocks run out, I guess.

QUOTE(ahlin @ Sep 18 2023, 03:49 PM)
Haha, skipped iPhone 14 but here I'm, again. Yes Pro Max 256gb as usual haha!
*
Hahaha, same. And color also Natural Titanium? Then you will be my competition for the pre-order at maxis website this Friday midnight, hehe…

I plan to pre order from switch and collect on 29 sep midnight.  Assuming there is midnight collection.
*
I thought midnight collection was a thing of the past after the pandemic laugh.gif In any case HR just informed us we have a leave in lieu due to Malaysia Day falling on a Saturday and since 28th is a public holiday I've duly applied for leave on 29th - let's see mana ada queue, hahaha..

QUOTE(xortz @ Sep 18 2023, 08:56 PM)
guys,

i'll be going to US next month. Is it a good deal and advisable to purchase in US ?
*
Might be difficult to get a Pro Max model since the waiting time has slipped quite a bit for US Apple website.. also a lot of their phones tend to be allocated to the carriers there. But definitely can try

QUOTE(Chosen one @ Sep 18 2023, 10:01 PM)
hi guys 15 pro max going to be my 1st iphone

can i safely assume pre ordering from machines or switch on 22nd is highly impossible due to traffic ?

should i just chill and wait for a few weeks ?
*
Getting frustrated from the traffic during pre-order is part and parcel of the iPhone buying experience.. and since this is your first ever iPhone, I recommend you try it just for the experience, haha..

Bro.. I got free 5G on my U Mobile more than 1 year ago. That is why I'm unfazed and they keep calling to pester me to pay the rm10 extra per month for the 5G. Not going to pay them a dime. Anyway Maxis won't enjoy the previous notion of wider coverage because all telcos are sharing the same DNB 5G backbone. So it really doesn't matter which telco you go for now because it's all on the same network.
*
U mobile undisputedly still has the cheapest plans - unfortunately their coverage is shitty where I live, haha… Maxis has been and always will be the more expensive option, unfortunately. I’m kinda stuck with them coz they are the only telco with decent coverage in my housing area and I’m using the home fibre which means my data is unlimited.

QUOTE(decavalera @ Sep 19 2023, 08:00 AM)
This 1 seems practicle since have the adapter from usb-c to usb-a

Braided cable too

I’m sure I’d lose the adapter somewhere eventually laugh.gif

Bro... UMobile, Maxis and all other telcos are now sharing the same DNB backbone for 5G now. If UM coverage in your area is shitty then so is Maxis.  laugh.gif
*
Oh no la, I meant the previous 3G/4G coverage… Have no idea what the 5G coverage is like - haven’t upgraded my plan

Bro... there are no 3G services in our country anymore. Now only 2G, 4G and 5G on our local telcos. You must update yourself.
Using an Iphone with 2g/4G is like driving a Ferarri down the freeway but speed limited to 70km/h only.  laugh.gif  laugh.gif  laugh.gif  laugh.gif  laugh.gif
*
Hahaha - the last time I used U-Mobile was back in 2012 so 3G was still very real, bro… laugh.gif Anyways, I like being a slow driver!

“Reviews of the iPhone 15 Pro and regular iPhones 15s go live tomorrow (20/9/2023) at 6 AM Pacific, for those interested”

I’m too lazy to google what that translates to in our local time, bro…

wahh so many declining posts suddenly.... many holding back for 16's?
*
Good la, more stocks available for the rest of us, hahaha. Kidding… to be honest, we represent a very, very small percentage of the potential iPhone buyers out there. It’ll still be sold out, no matter how many people comment “it’s very minor upgrade”, “no innovation”, bla bla bla…

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Sep 20 2023, 11:33 AM)
It has always been minor updates here and there for every iteration. Best is to upgrade only after 3 years for each model. But then again....
*
I think this is true for all mobile phones already bro…

QUOTE(twtang @ Sep 20 2023, 11:39 AM)
They haven't shared the phone price with the package, have they?
*
No, not yet. They usually don’t till the very last minute.

haha agree, thats the thing, it'll still be sold out no matter what biggrin.gif

Ya bro.. u already know me. I dont get excited by any new phones anymore. When the time comes, I will just go collect the phone and be done with it.
Im just here for all the prelaunch drama and lols. rclxm9.gif  Just like every other year.  laugh.gif

The drama will be the best at midnight on the 22nd laugh.gif

QUOTE(dikae @ Sep 20 2023, 02:31 PM)
Haha yeap can’t decide blue titanium or natural, mostly natural coz I’ve been going for colour of the year every cycle, same as you biggrin.gif thinking should I get outright or continue contract 139 with maxis and skip all the trouble porting over to Hotlink etc..
*
I was also gonna pick Blue Titanium as my second choice but seeing all the videos of fingerprint smudges on the frame, I think I just want Natural Titanium now, hahaha…

What's wrong with the lightning cable? TBH I prefer the lightning because it makes the phone different from androids.
Dude.... Multiquote. U do know how to do it right?
*
Oh wow, I found another unicorn, hahaha. I thought my wife is the only person I know of who is annoyed with Apple being forced to switch to USB C. She loves her lightning cables. Unlike me, her last Android device used a micro USB port (the Galaxy S3) and have been using iPhones since the 6 Plus. Also she never transfers anything out of her phone so USB C means nothing to her, hahaha…

Bro, charging brick pun sudah takde, you really expect EarPods to be included back? Hehehe…

On that note, I’ve been using OnePlus’ USB-C headphones with my iPad Pro for over 2 years now.. it’s great!

Speaking of charging brick, any recommendation for 15 Pro max ?

Any 20W USB C PD brick will do bro… Can take your pick from the branded ones to the super cheapo ones - but best avoid the latter!

QUOTE(dikae @ Sep 20 2023, 10:24 PM)
Yeap that’s something to look forward..but still cannot campak lightning cable coz not planning to upgrade AirPods Pro..maybe when pro 3 is out..so still gonna keep it around for a while biggrin.gif

Haha, yeah same, unless you get a wireless charger for the AirPods Pro? But I’m keeping my lightning cable too…

watch ultra’s wireless charger actually works on airpods, but it charges really slow so I still charge using cable..anyway won’t be long till the new AirPods Pro arrive..probably next year..then memang can ditch lightning cable for good biggrin.gif

waiting patiently not to collect iphone, but to end existing contract (paying penalty) ready for tonight’s PO

EDIT: early cancellation fee (by 17 days) = RM33.70
Also kena forced to upgrade to 139 plan as pre-requisite for tonight’s PO lol
*
I thought they said if you have less than a month left in your contract don’t have to cancel and can pre-order? WTF… hahaha..

QUOTE(dikae @ Sep 21 2023, 10:28 AM)
No they literally and  ‘accidentally’ told me 139 minimum for iphone 15’s laugh.gif

This is under their iPhone 15 PO FAQ. and Maxis do offer 79 plan now although I know its impossible we can PO with 79 plan haha
Well, misleading info from website again? LOL
*
I think for the plans lower than 139 maybe can only buy on Zerolution - which is useless coz no subsidies at all.

I think if you walk in they will waive, but it’s strange they put on their website if your contract has less than a month left you can preorder but then they tell you something else when you walk in. Hmmm…

same boat, my contract expires 7 October 2023, had to pay penalty to clear my account too.

Mine is 7 October too. I’m not gonna clear it and just wing it tonight, haha. If cannot then cannot la, I’ll walk in next week or whenever the stock becomes available. That RM4k-5k sitting in my bank account for longer won’t hurt me laugh.gif
