Yes just got mine this morning. I see that’s what the pickup meant. I even shot an email to flolab asking this and they don’t have a clue what it means and just ask me to contact the no of the couriermyself, which nobody answer. I went back and grilled the CS they apologised and said will escalate 😅
Some unknown courier name like what line something delivered it

Btw how do we know we are getting the updated 0.7mm version? It’s not written on the box

As i updated earlier, there’s some issue with that pickup prompt. Just ignore it, it will get delivered.

All orders from Flolab.com is new, but you can check the sides whether it covers the edges or not.

I just check my display manufacturer is GH3 the lowest quality that’s why I still have touch screen issue.

Mine also GH3. Occasionally got touch screen freezing, but 18.1 minimizes it. I notice if i dont use camera control, it happens lesser to none.

Thanks for this! It’s easier to check and doesn’t require third-party apps.

I have G9P. From Reddit, it’s from Samsung, but there’s less quality control. So far, mine has been perfect. There haven’t been any issues with color shift, tinted or touchscreen sensitivity. I’m glad mine isn’t from LG that mostly report had touchscreen sensitivity issues.
Last year, I was a big fan of CASETiFY, but this year, I only buy a few. The designs this year don’t really appeal to my taste. 😅
Poor you both. Hope future Apple manage to solve this issue completely through firmware updates.
*
Nothing to be poor… maybe I’m ignorant.. but no issue using the phone. I recall my 13PM was also LG display.

Honestly i had more issue with Samsung display (but that’s S22 ultra, and now my Z fold 5 seems to be starting).



Seems like got a fix, anyone having issues can try, but it does seem to be related to camera control button… biggrin.gif

Meant this post? I wonder can trust, the level of quality tiering.

Oh wow, another Reddit thread does mention something important and I guess valid, more bad panels from LG than Samsung.

And someone started returning a Made in India iPhone to get a Made in China (the person located in France). Funny really…

Next everyone will start checking battery health %. :|

Sure or not? I can hear a bit of “sigh” but since next year gonna change, so doesn’t matter. Hahaha I’m the butterfly in your tummy.

QUOTE(cyberic @ Dec 30 2024, 12:11 PM)
16 pro using which panel mostly?
*
Based on reports, Samsung 50%, LG 30% and BOE 20% in general and not specific to model.


I don’t think it’s inferior, Apple measures and collect a lot of data. LG panel more prone to failure probably. But everything works fine, it’s okay.

If you face issue, get warranty. If u buy and check its LG panel, go return it only you get Samsung buying from Apple online store. Haha…

Mine is G9P. Interesting on how apple & then ppl able to get the steps to check the screen type.

Uhm, didn’t immediately notice the screen clarity? confused.gif

To make it clearer, go under light reflections, under the sun.

Is this any linkage to planned obsoletion?

Well too bad I guess this is true to many cases 

But iP16 pro battery metal casing, technically easier to swap, hopefully cheaper sad.gif

Can go to Apple website and check prices. Apple Battery replacement


Battery for 16 pro is Rm549. 15 pro is RM449.

Do you think the price would go down as there is more replacement parts available?

i think it might? but that usually means that the oem parts are being used by third party service providers
Ah sorry if my wording reflected that, I might have perceived incorrectly

i think i mean in general there is elements of planned obsoletion regardless

you are also right in the warranty part though and it made me think

they seal back really not that good? or they dont believe their staff can do a good job?

Based on past trend and experience.. never reduce in price. You will be lucky price doesn’t increase. Don’t worry too much.

Wah, mine also iw7 but only occasionally swim <300m weekly.. so far touch wood.. will use it till kaput before buy new iw..

Still eagerly waiting for my phone rebel case that tentatively should arrive next Sat.. for the Flolab TG, really great smooth coating… easily wipe off any oily smudge or finger prints from the screen.. luv the edge tk edge screen coverage as oppose to my previous amazing thing TG (which i also misaligned a bit during the installation). But the brightness is getting ls getting lowerred by the TG & i need to always asjusted to be on the high side. I’ll try to set off the auto brightness if needed later..

My old 13p (now with my kid) just had the white screen issue.. still considering which screen to use as replacement (3rd party).. so now my kid downgraded back to his old XS for a while..
*
Installation was pretty much idiot proof right? Brightness part, not sure but I think it’s plausible cause it has few layers.

How come no one notice the screen clarity and especially under bright light.. Sun? The anti reflection is what really amazes me.

Spigen coming out with more designs.. and has that ultra t (proper camera control button). Does it mean it’s actually few layers to make it look 3d spatial something? Very cool if so.

Yeay, just received my Pjone rebel gen 6 just now delivered by ABX. Earlier 4 days than the tentative ETA from Amazon tracking..

Really premium aramid fiber feel (i never own any similar material before though), definitely heavier than my skinarma casing.. due to the flolab TG thickness, all the 4 side rails are flush with the TG, left with the 4 higher sides edges to protect the TG..  i still have the Nat Ti full kit from my previous ip15P case, will wait for the orange kit to arrive so that i can play around with 3 diff kit colours

As of now, will plan to stick with the flolab & phone rebel combintion since ECae & iMos (i think) are not available anymore

I also received it, but I haven’t received the color button yet, just like you. 😅

Case No. 151 - Phone Rebel Gen-6 Aramid Fiber.
The build and feel much better compare with last year Gen-5.

Well... got my rebel gen 6. Well built, can't compare with previous gen since this is my first phone rebel case.

Only con is, the back is a fingerprint magnet, especially oily fingers. It hard to wipe off cause it smears everywhere.

The aramid material if compared with Spigen, I think Spigen is better. Phone rebel feels a bit more plasticky.

Spigen aramid can feel the texture of the weaving.

Aramid Fiber material is a fingerprint magnet. 😅
You can easily remove it by wiping it off with glasses wiping clothes, or a wet tissue.

I just check last year Gen-5, it is much texture feel, like Spigen one. This year Gen-6 they smoothen it.

Agreed Spigen can feel more texture. But if you want the real feel, you should buy PITAKA (except the military grade full cover version).
*
Pitaka is Kevlar material no? Still got aramid products?

Yes, PB gen 6 material is more smooth, hence fingerprint is more prevalent. feels plasticky and fake. Right?

Spigen feel is better and dont attract as much fingerprint.


But i dont dislike the case, cause i put it on, my mind tells me can use. Haha. I just got the free Orange accessories, but I’m the stealth type, so not for me. I just change the buttons only. biggrin.gif

im using this pb from xone
okay lah

Uhm.. I have this also… so far not good experience cause its shell is metal, you touch is hot. And charging will heat up the phone until message, no further charging until iPhone cool down. I reported to xone, thinking my unit faulty. They say it’s expected feature is good to prevent iPhone damage. :|

Testing Anker now, it’s made of plastic outer shell, so far don’t feel heat. And no charging stopped due to heat. Will test longer to see.

Price was almost the same, rm200 ish. Of course xone can get cheaper due to sale. Anker 5k slim qi2 is exclusive to Apple Store. Only 10K slim qi2 by Anker is not exclusive.

QUOTE(fruitie @ Jan 16 2025, 11:52 AM)
Tons of those powerbanks in China and I just got one. It only arrived in Malaysia today and I will see how it fares later. I bought 5k only as I wanted it as slim as possible, my battery in 16PM never runs out and lasts for a day. I only need something for emergency purposes like when I’m traveling.

I got it for RM 85.83 with free air shipping.
*
Same thinking…. Not taking around the bulkier sharge and older power banks I have. Since Anker having slim 5k, just testing them out. Xone option I won’t recommend.

Got the powerbank, not too bad quite fast also the charging considering it’s only 15W for MagSafe charging. 30 minutes for 16% on my 12PM. As expected it generates heat but bearable and not to the extent Apple cuts off the charging.

There are many brands but all look the same but only this shop allows shipping to Malaysia with air shipping, the rest all prohibited due to sensitive item.

Maybe I go try this also to compare. First time I will discourage people to buy anker powerbank.

Just don’t expect too much like super fast charging but it works as intended for emergency purposes. I’m quite pleased with it. Around 30% in an hour. Most importantly, it’s slim and sleek looking. I got the titanium gold color.

Won’t have much expectation… cause Anker also couldn’t do it.

I still think I just have the slim powerbank and have a short cable to charge.

So far Lazada sales the best. Stack all the vouchers. If you not in hurry, just check TikTok, Lazada and Shopee.
