Awesome! If I plan to pre-order the iPhone online, how can I do it? Otherwise I have to keep checking the stock availability after it is launched. sweat.gif

so fast want to PO already? If pre-order online, just wait when they announce and when is able to start PO
Probably you can PO from different platform now from Apple/SenHeng/TmT/Machine/Switch/telco at the same time, so just check which you preferred the most. Since you can pickup at Apple store at TRX now I think if you choose to PO on their website.

No, I want to use the gift card and also trade-in to Apple. Thinking if this is possible, if not I have to think of another option.

I don't think can PO from others and collect from TRX. TRX is only for Apple site or walk-in.

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.

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.

Vivo really make a clever move , its hardly to let iphone user to fully replace their phone with android , rather than force them to replace, why not make a better ecosystem that can "join" them , so that user who wish to having both system will have priority to choose their brand , look like samsung will having trouble in future 😅 , no wonder their sales drop so badly

Yup, recent AirPods Pro 2 order with engraving came from SG. As usual, CTO mba from CN. Stock should be from SG.

So, what happens? My sister's 15 Pro, bought in May last year, now has a battery life of 91%. sweat.gif While my 16 Pro Max is still 100% now, after 9 months. She is impressed.

She is probably going to switch to the iPhone 17 when it comes out, but not immediately. She wants to get more rebates from online platforms, so she plans to do so in November or December.

Her daughter is using her previous iPhone 12, and she intends to pass her phone to her daughter once she upgrades. However, after seeing her battery life vs mine, she wants to take over my 16PM for her daughter. sweat.gif So, she proposes that I trade in her 15P to Apple, and she will pay me the difference. laugh.gif

Anyway, I have a gift card from Apple that I received earlier for my iPad Mini 6 trade-in. Can I trade in an old iPhone and also use the gift card for an iPhone 17 purchase?

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.

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.

ya, bought 15 plus for wife. Whole day Tiktok/ IG/ gaming and battery health still 100% for like whole year, AOT can be 8hours+ as she WFH. But once drop to 99%, it start to drop like 1% = 2-3months. now been 1 year and a half+. Her phone still maintain in 95 or 96 I forgot....

While 16pm still remained 100% for past 6mths, not heavy gamer. Normally my AOT is 2-4hours. Hopefully if can last until ip20 xD
