No lens protector nor TG here. My neighbour uses both.

dreamthief made a list here. Some additions by me.

For myself, not too bad. I only have 5 traditional banks and had to go ATM only for MBB.

Many, many years ago, this was way before MCO and when the vouchers were just RM30, they insisted I had to print out the voucher. After a bit of back and forth, they finally agreed to just look at the email. iirc this was Machines Gardens. The year or years before this, I had actually printed the email according to the instructions but forgot for this occasion.

Then another year after that, Machines IOI City Mall told me that the voucher only applicable for non-Apple accessories. Newly opened branch at that time so maybe the staff still new. Anyway I asked them to call and check with their manager and it turned out ok. My previous vouchers were always used to buy Apple products.

I haven't noticed any flicker for ip16pm but my ip15pm with replacement 3rd party screen and battery has the flicker when waking the phone.

Like ace-user described here.

Got a few new colours for Apple Silicone Case.

Put the SIM in a different phone or put a different SIM in the phone. I had this prob for 3yrs with ipx which went away when I got the ip13p. Digi also.

Been playing too much Minecraft?

She...

Yes, no problem.

I got a free ip15pm which was pretty banged up. While it worked, owner had changed the screen, but after a few days, the battery started swelling. Managed to find battery from CN on Lazada.

RM93 after Laz voucher. The RM67 one was probably wrongly priced since they didn't fulfill the order.

At that price, no way lah. IOS doesn't recognize the battery.

Yeah, so far so good. I've changed the batteries myself for 5s, 6plus, 6s & X. The old models don't complain about the 3rd party batteries. I think only from iPhone 12 onwards that IOS will complain.

The ip14 screen that I bought came with a spare solder pad for transferring the ori chip. But scared to do so I didn't bother lah.


For battery, I think all you need is a spot welder.

What are you upgrading from? ip16p is cheap now and lotsa offers but I'd wait for the 17.

Any one should be ok. I got cheap ones from China and also this Baseus one.

Can't go wrong with UGreen. Cheap too.

Strange, I can charge my ip16pm with my pocof5 67W charger and the poco's cable (USB-USBC.)

Looks like from Apple's website.

My cables are all Baseus, UGreen, Essager, Orico or any CN brands. As long as the sellers honestly say that the cables support USB-PD, you can use them to fast charge the ip15/16.

Note that many of the cheaper ones are USB2. I try to buy USB3 so can use for faster data transfer also.

The most basic charge only non-data cables, like those that come with USB fans or some power banks, won't charge the USBC iPhones when used with PD chargers. It will still charge the iPhones when used with basic 5V only chargers. I think the max is 3A or 15W.


Basic A-C 5V non-PD charge cable. (no CC line which is used for protocol negotiation or controlling the current)
compared to

C-C Apple iPhone USB2 480Mbps PD cable

Have you tried this with the old iPhone/iPad 5w, 10 or 15w chargers? It should charge. But slow.

For iPhone 16 Pro, any USB3 10Gbps for max speeds. I only have and used the one that came with my Orico ext m.2 case but it's very short. Normal USB3 5Gbps cables should be quite common now.

Also have an Orico USB4 40Gbps (supposedly) cable. It says Thunderbolt when connecting 2 mba m1 together. I presume that's tbt3 but dunno what link speed.
