I also bought the Milan Snap for my 15PM - the phone is still being manufactured in China I guess

15 Pro Max 512GB Natural Titanium. Received email 12:05am, also 11-18 Oct. Processing and waiting too. Current shipped are those with 3-5 Oct delivery timeline. I suspect 5-10 Oct will ship out this week, and 11-18 Oct will ship next week.

Which variant did you book bro? Mine 15PM 512GB NaTi still 11-18 Oct until now - just checked.

Issue is now resolved. Issue still persisted with iOS 17.0.3 - but with the new instagram update 303.3, it has been resolved.

You need to separate Apple ID soon, and create Family account. I separated mine with my wife since we subscribed to Apple Music, it became difficult coz only 1 device can stream at one time. With wife’s account and family group created, all problems resolved. All apps already installed are not affected since family account.

Yours was originally due to arrive latest on 11 Oct? I guess current orders will now ship from China, rather than Singapore. Also, I am guessing that it would arrive by 10 or 11 as shipment won’t take that long especially if DHL

Great! Mine is still the old status though. Mind telling us when did you receive the confirmation order email? Mine was 22/9 12:05am

Love seeing phonebuff benchmark test

TLDW: just get 20w charger will do, just 10min difference with 30w

Most likely our batch would arrive on the tail end of the estimate, rather than early. Probably it'll be like the 2nd batch, Thursday 12 Oct will have movement in the status, should arrive in our hands between 16-18 Oct.

Esim + nano sim. 2 Whatsapp possible, but 1 using WhatsApp, the other using Whatsapp for Business

I hope those with 5-10 November delivery estimate will get theirs today, gives us with the 10-17 or 11-18 delivery estimate some hope of getting ours early next week

Congrats! Do update use when you receive it yeah?

Apple Care Protection Plan - if from Apple, there is no such plan in Malaysia (yet). Maybe next year when there is an actual Apple Store at TRX. If Machines Protection Plan, you can only purchase it if you bought your phone from Machines.

Downside - if you do not pay your telco bills, your phone will be blocked. Even if you change sims to other telco, you can’t circumvent the block. In fact, they don’t release this hold even if you finish paying the phone, if you manage to not pay your bill 4 years in the future, they can block your phone…

No worries bro. Standard apple warranty still apply for the first year. For phones by telco, even android will be blocked if don’t pay, not necessarily apple phones. Most will not have issue la.

I’m guessing ours will have some movement tomorrow - will change the status 11 Oct and arrive in Malaysia 14 Oct. Will be in Customs limbo until 15 Oct and arrive in our hands 17-18 Oct.

According to Stichie’s post, his estimated timeline was originally 5-10 Oct. Ultimately, his unit was shipped on 6 Oct and arrived in his hands on 10 Oct.

Most likely 17 or 18. But the earlier the better of course

Can change sim no problem even during contract. But if you don’t pay your bills, your phone will be imei locked - you can’t use your phone.

I read that even if you finished paying your phone (after 24 months), if you are still on the telco and don’t pay your bills, your phone might still get locked.

This is usually what happens, people be on Maxis zerolution, sell the phone to others, and don’t pay the bills. The buyer will get an unusable phone… hence why zerolution phones are undesirable

I dunno if that only applies for Maxis, but for Celcom my colleague is on Celcom and he bought the iPhone 14 last year on Device Contract. He paid his bills normally but suddenly has the no service error. When Celcom and Digi merged, they had a problem with something and his device was tagged as non-payment account thus imei locked. He had to call the call centre, call centre say not locked coz account was not barred. It was only solved when he personnaly went to bluecube centre and they found that his account was incorrectly tagged. They unlocked his imei and service was back.

So no, i can say for certain, if you don’t pay, they can lock your imei, even if you are on normal device contract
