I’ll either wait it out next few months (more discounts?) or skip buying the iPhone 16 pro max. Not much changes really.

I read online the phones are made in India now including the pro series?
I remembered when I asked about iPhone 15 last year, the sales person said still made in China.

I wanted to ask the same question if available at Apple trx by Friday. Want to see the Apple Watch too.

Haha. Go for it. For tax relief purpose if no other compelling reason. Not sure how useful Apple’s version of AI will be. I’ve been tasked to explore AI for work.

Decided to order the 16pm 256 desert titanium from Machines Lazada early this morning. Then went to Machines store to look at the new phones and color. Looks like pale gold.
Anyway, probably get the phone delivered next week.

$150 off using Lazada voucher and $1 power adapter. Machines store person said only for those who pre-order can get the pro max models. I guess their stock is limited. Outlet was kinda empty too.

Anyway, I’m not in a rush to get the phone. I’m still waiting for the phone case and screen protector. If buying without discount, I still prefer Apple online store.

Bought a Spigen case yesterday and received it today. It’s just slightly different design than the same cases I used for previous 14 pro max and current 15 pro max (I’m happy with those cases). This time it’s kinda soft at the sides and doesn’t seem sturdy. I don’t yet if I like it until I get the 16 pro max. Still waiting and no status update from Machines Lazada.

Other than that, ordered the usual Smartdevil sp and lens protector.

I know right. I think better stay away from this forum thread. Haha.

My initial reaction was “Nope, not buying.”
Second reaction was “Ok lar. Buy later when got more discounts.”
Now, it’s like “Just buy and enjoy!”

Agree on this. I use it often and mostly surfing, online shopping and wa. I am underutilizing the phone camera features though. Oh well. Maybe AI can help me.

Mine shows oct delivery dates but I chat with cs before placing the order. CS said to follow the dates listed on the product page which stated Sept 28th and they will adjust the delivery dates accordingly. Let’s see.

Lazada Machines. Bought Friday morning and I got the last 256 desert titanium color. Ya, hopefully can see some status updates by Monday.

I haven’t been following this thread the last few days.

So you finally got your 16pm. Congrats. I’m still waiting on machines lzd.

My order from machines lzd just shipped. Still old eta Oct 22-26. But I’ll probably get the phone in next 1-2 days.

Yup, it was a surprise. I think it’ll be out for delivery today.

Finally using the iPhone 16pm now. Got the phone on Friday but took my time to setup.

I’m a bit dissatisfied with the sp and casing I have. Use it first while waiting for more options esp the case with camera cover.

May I know the iPhone 11 storage size you traded in? I have an iPhone 11 which is working just fine. Thinking to replace that phone as no longer can upgrade to iOS 18.

Ordered Ibywin sp to try it out. Don’t quite like the Smartdevil sp I’m using now.

Received the Supcase case with camera cover. It’s a solid sturdy case but hard to put the phone in. So I’m back using Spigen case.

I just ordered and first time going to use this brand after reading the comments here. Have to wait and see.

It’s full clear and cheaper version. Works fine on my iPhone 14 but feels too slippery on this phone.

lol. Feels like not enough oleophobic coating or something.
