QUOTE(BuKeYi @ Jun 26 2025, 03:52 PM) ic ic, never try this method. not sure Apple allow payment during pickup or need to pay the full amount first. long time no PO already, now mostly walk-in or shop at shopee. Or try buying other thing like ipad/watch/airpod? But if Apple allow payment during pickup, pretty sure they allow the gift card + other payment together. Yes, need full payment. After trade-in only refund back the money to the credit card. |

QUOTE(KaiHD @ Jun 28 2025, 02:40 AM) You will need to trade in your iPhone at TRX first, so they will give you an Apple Store Gift Card with the trade in value. Then when checking out during pre-order, enter your CC details and also all the Apple Store Gift Card PINs that you want to use (up to 8). Apple Online Store will deduct the gift card amounts from the original cart price, and charge the remaining total to your card. Thanks for the information. I also tried playing around with the Apple Store app, I think I can choose to trade-in and use the gift card at the same time when I place an order. This way, I get to use the existing iPhone until the new iPhone is delivered and the trade-in can be completed within 7 days (I think) upon receiving the new iPhone. The disadvantage of using this method is I will need to pay first the amount without the trade-in value and only offset later once Apple receives the traded-in iPhone. By the way, now only I know that I must trade-in an iPhone to buy an iPhone online, I thought any devices like iPads are also possible. |

QUOTE(lee82gx @ Jul 1 2025, 10:49 AM) I bought 15 pro at the same day as 16 pro (Oct 2024) (my wife uses the 15 pro, full day blasting douyin / yt / whatever video app Tongsan has) and still at 100% battery health. I am at 211 charge cycles, I suppose she is nearer to 250-270 I guess. Both looking strong but I believe once it dips below 99% will start seeing some linear decay. Its normal, the 100% is not really 100%, instead it is from 105-10x% to 100%. edit - add date. Yeah, understood but my sister's one is really bad. Dropped to 91% for 15 months.  |

QUOTE(lee82gx @ Jul 1 2025, 12:25 PM) reading from your posts above, you have a complicated swapping plan, enjoy the app install reinstall! Otherwise just buy a new battery for the 15 pro is a simple step for your sis.  It is but it doesn't matter for me because I will be changing to iPhone 17. She and her daughter will be complicated.  |

QUOTE(BuKeYi @ Jul 1 2025, 04:23 PM) can try tunnelbear if want it free, they macam got free 10gb monthly Currently I'm using SurfShark, so far so good. Support most countries included China. last time sub it for like 200+ 2years (free 6months) so total is 30months. China VPNs are sensitive and not all are working even though working in the past. Every time I travel there, like a few months once, I will check out Reddit. |

I just realized I cannot trade-in the latest iPhone 16 for other iPhone in Apple Store. There is no such selection. So, if today I want to upgrade from 16 Pro to Pro Max, it is not possible. I gotta sell it off somewhere myself and buy from them. |

QUOTE(dreamthief @ Jul 8 2025, 04:09 PM) Not on the Apple store app / website. You have to go Apple physical store TRX. There's no extra trade in offers so only thing is do in-store and not online. This happened for friend early Jan. Just to avoid a trip, contact Apple to confirm. And why I am not surprised.. you got unique requirements.  I see, so they do accept the latest models for trade-in? Yes, I always have unique requirements. |

QUOTE(dreamthief @ Jul 10 2025, 11:57 PM) hmmm but iphone 17 coming soon..  He did a trade in 16 pro max to 16 pro. Consider upgrade or downgrade? Also machines also accepting.. if Apple doesn't work out.  No la. Just curious only. Of course upgrade for me once the iPhone 17 is here. Hopefully I don’t need to sell a kidney for that. |

QUOTE(QPheng @ Jul 11 2025, 06:30 PM) hi all, my gf just bought me an iphone 16 pro max 512GB natural titanium as present. she bought it on 7th July 2025, we received it on 8th July and unseal the box, the more I look at it, the more I prefer other colors instead., however, after multiple attempts to chat with Apple Flagship Store (authorized reseller in Shopee Mall where gf bought it) and also fews calls to Apple support, none of them could help us change the color of the phone. Personally, I prefer black color with transparent case for the look of it, any advice? No chance to change since already unsealed. Buying from Apple Store online or TRX has the return policy but not other authorized dealers. |

QUOTE(QPheng @ Jul 11 2025, 06:50 PM) appreciate the reply, so my only option is to sell it and buy again, right? she bought it at about rm6100, if we sell it at rm5800 (battery count 0, unused conditions, warranty just started on 8th July 2025) any idea if people ok with it? Yeah. To be honest, those sales online can be cheaper during double digit sales etc. Plus iPhone 17 is coming out soon. My suggestion is just buy a casing and it can be easily hidden, because selling it off again will make you lose more. I'm using Desert Titanium and sometimes I get bored of it too and most of the time, it is hidden under the casing. |

QUOTE(QPheng @ Jul 11 2025, 07:00 PM) appreciate your honest input, I mostly use my past phones naked for the feel of it, as for this 16pm, ideally i prefer it to be black with transparent case for the aesthetic of it, too bad gotten titanium color (the least likable out of the 4 colors) instead.  The choice is yours and you can start selling now. My 15PM was a Natural Ti color and to me it looks nice.  |

I set my limit to 80% too and sometimes before drop to 20% will charge again or slightly below 20% if I don't have access to the charger right away. Just checked last night, surprised that my battery health is still 100%. Almost 10 months old now. None of my previous iPhones can match this, maybe the 80% charging helps. |

QUOTE(GamersFamilia @ Jul 20 2025, 09:50 PM) okey , already set my 16 pro max charging limit to 80% .. as i google thru internet , most of the statement do recommend 80% as the best charging limit for iphone 😮💨 Been using this phone since 28th Sept 2024 with 198 cycle counts, still 100%. I think it will drop to 99% soon but still none of my previous iPhones can match it. |

QUOTE(BuKeYi @ Jul 22 2025, 09:44 AM) ya, for new phone and health is 100%. Best to set it as 80% as the health deteriorate, you can set higher as like 99 you set 81, 98 you set 82 and so on to match ur daily usage. or charging the 80% limit of battery with below 95% battery health and check still able to manage for a day or not. Err. Can you change to 81, 82 etc? I thought every increase is 5% per block? |

QUOTE(BuKeYi @ Jul 23 2025, 02:27 PM) that day recommended blackshark pro 5 one, I bought one and try it during vlog shooting with my 16pm. it really cold and my iphone won't feel hot at all. The coldness even will have those water came out from the machine itself like you put a glass of water filled with ice (not sure how to call it) Definitely worth the price (I bought from tb, their flagship store with free shipping), not sure about the water will affect the phone itself in long term or not. Oh wow, can share TB link here? I'm thinking to buy one too as I like taking photos and videos. |
