Same gang. I placed order 13th 8.25pm ish. Fiddling with that stupid TIN. Now got email say incorrect information. Geesh…

Customs on hold. Supposed 26th, Apple email show 25th. Not excited or anything, just rather be home, set up and send off trade in. Later in the week gonna be busy. šŸ˜…


QUOTE(dikae @ Sep 24 2024, 04:51 PM)
Hey I’m asking for a colleague who is about to go through the same process, he say upon checking out, before the payment page. There’s a section where you put your address and they send you the trade in kit…does it mean after you PO, you need to wait for them to deliver the trade in kit, then bring the kit to pos laju and deliver the package back to Apple?
*
Didn’t have that when I PO mine. The instructions is really… Apple charge card and status shipping, they drop email instructions asking 1) scheduled courier 2) drop off at pos laju.

U select the options only for next steps.

Another person shared, go any pos laju listed. They have trade in kit ready.

Maybe instructions changed since? Also, I called Apple, you preorder online, follow email instructions, can’t walk in TRX trade in phone. Only when you go store trade in, u do so there.

Physical store can only issue gift card value while the online will refund money to payment card. Make sense actually. I don’t have any black and white, you can call the Apple support.

Finally, Apple stole my money, but the status is still processing.

A phone call to CS can be so effective & now left is the status.

No e-invoice and tracking number or email.
*
I doubt due to calling in CS… haha… ā€œstoleā€ ur money.

E-invoice and tracking number not so soon. Email is once it is shipped.

Congrats!!! It’s soon…

I’m not looking forward to the set up because it’ll take a long time transferring all but will have to brace through it eventually šŸ˜†

Eh… the banking apps are the problem. Not to brag.. I got a lot of banks. Not looking forward. I even pre survey.. where got the most atm machines for my banks. No joke.


QUOTE(emilyngsc @ Sep 24 2024, 06:16 PM)
Guess what, really my debit card can’t do the transaction.
*
Aih… I assume never happen before. RHB, Maybank.. all same. Auto block stuff.


QUOTE(dikae @ Sep 24 2024, 06:40 PM)
You guys think PO from apple store and opt for delivery or self pickup has higher chance to receive the item earlier than given date? xD
*
Pick up definitely got chance earlier… cause delivery is ā€œfixedā€ window of time.

But pick up.. u need luck… when place order put pickup option and must have slot at the time of checkout. Else won’t work. Don’t have option to change from delivery to pickup once place order.


QUOTE(vez @ Sep 24 2024, 07:39 PM)
maybe the vendor edicom that handle Apple Malaysia e-invoice cacat

i skip e-invoice for my PO through Apple Store, 16p delivered on 20th Sept, now i click to submit e-invoice info through the provided url handle by edicom always return error during submission, contacted Apple Specialist, they said need wait (but i have pdf invoice emailed to me already, and YA2024 not mandatory to have e-invoice yet for us so we can still use pdf invoice to file tax refund)
*
Now I feel bit better. Else wasted me spend like 10 mins key in that TIN.


QUOTE(emilyngsc @ Sep 24 2024, 07:44 PM)
I observed self pickup seems faster than I thought. I’m lazy to go TRX & queue, then ended up nothing.

Moomoo expensive than iPhone, but banks never blocked the transaction. I don’t want u guys ended up like me.
*
It’s faster definitely… I had the chance to pick up 20th Sept when I place order. But the thought of TRX and queue. Nope… even when 21st.. 22nd etc didn’t opt. I was helping my friends to get it.

Calling banks is also a headache for me. Sooner RHB also need to go to ATM. rclxub.gif

12 hours mostly but forgot which one is 24 hours.

If you notice new app launch, also need to activate at ATM. recently was PBB for me. Much earlier was MBB.


HLB dont need? Yay… cause i didn’t apply for ATM card to save money… hahahah.

Walao, I can feel the pain virtually 🤣🤣 I should be glad I only have 2 bank app to install. I’m scared how long it’ll take to transfer 70k photos & 8k videos properly into ip16pro 🄲 Took me the whole night when going from ip6 to ip11 (I manage to just sleep 😓 tired of waiting)
*
Choose side by side phone transfer, did for 12pm and 13pm is fast.

This time, usb to usb cable might help, KaiHD was using to do transfer.

No need adapter. Any existing usb-c to lightning cable you use with your 12/13/14 series will work
Yeah this happened to me as well. It’s because Maxis opens a pop up window to ask for OTP, so the process can’t be automated as part of setup like in other countries. After the setup is finished, keep both phones connected and initiate the eSIM transfer again in Settings > Cellular Data on your new phone

transfer taking 6-7 hours. How to do usb transfer? Just plug in cable? doesn't seem to work for me...

I’m not sure how much data you are transfering but my ip13pm to ip16pm took 1 hour. I plugged in the old ip13pm charging cable and connected them both together as soon as the transfer started. It initially said 2 hours then 5 minutes later went to 1 hour remaining. I cannot confirm whether it really transfered via the cable or not though.

A little background:
Total usage on the ip13pm was about 60-70gb.
I have icloud 2tb and everything is backed up including having Optimize iPhone Storage feature turned on in Photos. During the 4G days was quite a struggle to load old photos but now with 5G its a no brainer to turn that feature on. I rely heavily around apple ecosystem and I have found that owning a 256gb phone is more than enough for me.
*
200gb or so... just saw apple support page. Need to connect USB cable before starting.

I have 200gb or so data, tried with wireless quick start, showing 6 hours. 1 hours plus still going.

Stopped it and use lightning to usb c (13pm to 16pm), took 1 hour ish only.

Need to connect cable during initial steps, I tested halfway, it doesn't work.

There are other banks you can try. CC is convenient. smile.gif
I just counted I have 12 banks apps to set up once I change to a new phone, excluding GX Bank and other e-wallets. sweat.gif
*
you and me very matched. smile.gif

For me, 15 in total. Physical banks, digital banks and ewallet.


1) Maybank - register on new phone and head to ATM to enable Secure2U
2) RHB - unregister from old phone. Activate Secure Plus at ATM
3) Grab - just login on new phone
4) Rize - just login on new phone. 12 hours cooling off period
5) GXBank - selfie verification. 12 hours cooling off period
6) TNG ewallet - selfie verification, either passkey or pin.
7) MBSB - worrying. Just think new iPhone is old iPhone.
8) SCB - need to call in customer support to get new SC mobile key temp pin.
9) Ambank - verification via ATM debit card PIN number. 12 hours cooling off period
10) Allianz bank - website to unregister, Terminate mobile access. Can’t do it since need mobile app to generate code. Duh!!
Went back old phone to terminate. Using SMS (charge money) to get code. 12 hours cooling off.
11) AEON bank - uses email to authentication. 12 hours cooling off
12) Boost Bank - best implementation, will prompt whether you dont have old device, instructions to remove from old. 12 hours cooling off.
13) Public Bank - register on new phone and head to ATM to enable PB SecureSign
14) Boost wallet - just login on new phone.
15) Hlb - worryin. Just login on new phone.

Also my tips, for Apple Pay, if you using esim, dont activate during setup. Just skip until esim is sorted out. Seems common sense, but at that setup time, brain dont comprehend it until later.

Topic A - Screen protector: Flolab screen protector is excellent. Installation is easy with the tool. Edges need to use squeegee to push out bubble. Lacking a bit with others like Xone. Flolab supporter for long time. I would highly recommend.

Topic B - Case: So far, really need cases with camera control button built-in with case. Cases with cut outs, feels bad/weird controlling it.

1) Apple silicon case - the feeling is the best
2) Spigen Magfit T hybrid - the fit is good. The camera control button not as nice feel as Apple (obviously). But if you like clear case, by all means.

I got other cases with camera cut offs, how nicely the cut outs, just doesn't fit 16 series.


Topic C - Wired charging, it peaks at 30W. reaching 60% already taper off to 13-15W. 80% is 10W.


Sekian terima kasih.

P/s It's awesome can use usbc. (i'm coming from 13PM tongue.gif )

how to purchase flolab? any seller in Malaysia or ship from USA?

Direct Flolab website. Takes like 1 week (plus/minus). Used to have people sell locally, no more that i have seen.

Got lifetime warranty, if you break the glass somehow, take a pic. Submit claim request (pay for shipping), new screen protector send to you.

the new anti reflective glass is good really.

Flolab lifetime warranty. I did requested replacement for my iP12P, but need to paid USD 1 for shipping fee.

No longer Usd1 already, it used to be. Now is like USD $7-8 for shipping.

Replacement in 2023 and 2022. My niece and gf, managed to drop from very high height and shatter screen protector, but phone is fine. It was for Samsung s23 and iPhone XS Max.

My flolab installed on my ip13pm from day one till now. Minor drop but still good.
