Hello, first time iPhone buyer joining the fun here.

After contemplating since iPhone 11 Pro, finally PO 256GB 16PM.

Thinking of getting a case and tempered glass ready but I prefer choosing the case when it is available in store so just as a backup will buy UGREEN TG and case set. Any recommendation for reliable TG? I see the recommendation here is Hoda and Spigen, any others?

Didnt tried hoda and spigen before, but i am not sure if hoda and spigen is in the same class. Currently using amazingthing on 15pm and very satisfied with it. Smooth, easy to clean and so far dropped my phone on waist height few times, no issue. Not sure if its due to my case protection though  laugh.gif

Thanks for the suggestion. If comparing the price, spigen is cheaper because it comes with 2pc per pack. biggrin.gif The UR employee I asked also doesn't recommend hoda (RM59 in-store) but instead LAMINA.

Previously i using the ibywind brand for my other phone , but didnt see it available for iphone 16 series yet...

Yeah I'm currently using ibywind and I agree the quality and oleophobic effect is great. I use alcohol wipes a lot, all the other TG I used the coating will gg after a few weeks.

Shopee coins are useless. You can only use 3k max at one time, which is basically RM30 off only.

If you meal order a lot, spend the coins on Sh**Food also possible. The food prices, discount and delivery vouchers are stackable, also delivery service is better than GFood in my experience.

Hoda so cheap already at rm59?

I used lamina before, and it's good, go ahead and buy it if u wan. I guess u went to switch? As lamina only sold in switch.
*
Yes, I pre-ordered with Switch. But the outlet I went to don't have many accessories so I went to a Urban Republic. Both said they already have all the cases and TG ready at the back store and the selection is the same with what they have for iP15 so I browsed and see hoda only RM59, Lamina is RM99 I think.

Is the cap on coins the same? 25% and RM30/day? Unfortunately Shopee has very minimal restaurant selections for my area the last time I checked so prefer Grabfood. Also a bonus is that  Grabpoints can used to exchange for a RM30 voucher which can then be used, say, for the iphone PO deposit.

I think Shopeefood riders are the ones who do the Same Day Delivery no? That's handy if you need an iPhone asap.
*
Yes still capped. But thanks to this thread now I know there's an uncapped use for it in SPay, maybe will use that more after this. Grab rewards points gets devalued so much it's not fun anymore for me. sweat.gif

I never received mine. I called switch Sunway pyramid and she told me I am in the first batch to get in tomorrow. So can just go tomorrow and collect the phone.

What colour did you order? I PO black titanium because the natural and desert titanium (looks worse than the gold colour based on some YouTube videos) not for me but now kinda like the white one haha

Wa. I thought mine is slow already. Mine is stuck at Checked into hub HWSH. No idea what that means. Called Line Clear customer service and cant get through at all. Tried their live chat with live agent and waited for 2 hours but no one available. Are they using Line Clear just because the executive director used to be GM at Digi?

Sucks big time. No more telco set for me. Porting out from Digi after this. Sucks big time. Been with them for over 20 years but ini yang dapat.  doh.gif

As a long time Digi subscriber, every day I remember that they merged my day is ruined. Services totally down the drain. I'm thinking of jumping to Yes.

Picked up my 16PM @ Switch..Just a reminder to those who use UOB offer, you HAVE to use the RM150 voucher on the spot and only 1 item can be keyed in to use it (e.g. cannot 1 TG, 1 case). End up bought a leather case from Alto.

Now using Move to iOS to get it up and running at least WhatsApp..Setting up all my 2FA and banking apps will be a pain haha.

Anyone forcing u to buy extended warranty?

Nope..It's RM239 for a year, Switch's own protection plan. You can also subscribe Apple Care+ yourself later on.

QUOTE(Lynixx @ Sep 20 2024, 11:21 AM)
For those who bought 16PM, can check whether the phone is made in India or China? 😝

Mine is China.

Anyone thinking of trade in and can wait for 6th batch, Senheng is offering extra RM450 for trade ins.

3 years warranty, and some dubious RM90+90 vouchers to be used in December and January.

Also they will allow multiple items for the RM150 UOB voucher and AirTag is only RM139. On another note, damn that desert titanium colour looks nicer in hand.

Sharing my experience with cases and tempered glass.

The alto leather case doesn't seem to offer great edge protection, looks very nice though.

UGREEN case doesn't feel nice in hand and hard to press action button while also being very2 thin.
https://my.shp.ee/WoSYLAN

Finally I'm currently using Likgus clear case I bought as a backup but this one don't have MagSafe. Surprisingly good for a RM15 case.
https://my.shp.ee/qtn5Fif

Waiting for Otterbox Lumen to be sold locally as it has dedicated camera button cover.

Using AmazingThing TG with no issue except for the pesky air bubbles when I was applying them. Just need to give it a firmer push and it solves the problem.
