I’m still traveling now but may I know if it’s available in TRX now? I plan to trade-in my Mini 6 and get the gift card to offset Mini 7 purchase on the spot.

I cannot decide which color to get. Purple is nice but it is the last gen color. tongue.gif I’m having starlight color for the Mini 6. Maybe I should opt for blue this time.

Not gonna lie, I’m still having a trauma with Apple trade-in and I still haven’t got back my refund for my 15 Pro Max trade-in for the 16 Pro Max. It’s almost 1.5 months now. I’ll file a tribunal case later today.

Is it big difference in term of trade-in price for Switch/Machines vs Apple? Mini 6 64GB WiFi version.
*
where do you do the trade in?
switch just charged me the balance after deduct the trade in. no transfer money.
switch value trade in is lower by 50-100. the cost of going to apple trx may be cost few buck. at least no need travel so far , parking, toll

I’m traumatized with all the bank-in experience. That’s what I’m facing with now with Apple. I’m an isolated case so it’s an uncommon occurrence.
I bought online and collected my iPhone from TRX. So, my trade-in was considered online.
Ya, I intend to grab one from the store and give them the iPad to offset right away.

The trade in , they collect the device or you drop in? Which courier?

Even the Space Grey is light (mine arrived just now). Closer to silver actually. Apple really saving money producing this 7th gen mini. Screen and chassis same not enough for them. Paint pigment also stingy. But in the end mini lovers will still buy, because we don’t have a choice. This is the only tablet Apple makes that isn’t suffering from an identity crisis pretending to be a laptop. Apple still laughing while counting our money. laugh.gif

recycle material. frankly speaking after put casing, you wont see the color

Curious - has anyone regretted changing bigger iPad to smaller one? Especially even the on screen keyboard is smaller.

No. I'm very happy with huge upgrade from ipad air 4
You can change icon size. no problem using it and also i got logitech key to go 2

QUOTE(dman @ Nov 14 2024, 01:43 PM)
Anyone knows switch outlet got ready stock?

no one able to tell u coz every shop has diff unit. But what i can recall, on 12 Nov when i go , almost run of out initial stock.
When i am there also, another fella just bought ipad mini. This fella also change from ipad pro. So i'm the lucky last person.

My advise is call the shop first to check stock availability else u waste time go there. Store also no display unit available

Quite surprise that everyone complained about screen, not A18 chip....yet so many people buy ipad mini due to it light weight. Now i can easily hold in 1 hand & no regret changing it

Plenty of such similar cases in Taobao, just that not famous here la. Go and read thousands of such reviews on Taobao.

Just sharing Apple Trade In experience, still not yet receive refund:

19-Oct-2024:
iPad Air M2 - RM2599 with Apple Trade In - with Ambank Installment
20-Oct-2024:
Pickup at TRX
24-Oct-2024:
Trade in final value e-mail received - RM1400
15-Nov-2024:
First installment shown in Ambank CC
16-Nov-2024:
No yet see any trade in value refund
-  I guess if it really take up to 21 working days for refund, it should be due by 22-Nov-2024 ?

9-Nov-2024:
iPad Mini - RM2199 with with Apple Trade In - with Ambank Installment

- arranging Apple Trade In pickup, estimated value RM1150

I hope you won’t have the trade-in fiasco like I’m having with my 15 Pro Max which hasn’t solved until today. It has been 1.5 months but Apple is also following up for me.

As a token of compensation, they gave me discount RM 500 for my iPad Mini purchase while I wait for it to get it done. As per yesterday’s update from the CS Manager, she told me for my case it was due to bank’s issue and I was using RHB for that transaction. She mentioned there are several banks also affected. I hope all is OK with yours and please follow up with Apple.

Look like same case like u. Normally refund is 14 days and won’t drag for a month.
By the way, I think problem is installment. How to write off when your installment contract begin? It is fixed month-old repayment
Do you all do installment?

Other than your RHB, did the CS Manager mention names of the other affected banks? This time I decided to use my Maybank Visa debit card since Maybank was shown as one of Apple’s “partnering banks” in the checkout page (my credit cards are not from Maybank, unfortunately). Need to wait and see how. Mine still early days. Mini 7 arrived Thursday (14 Nov) and I scheduled courier pickup for coming Monday (18 Nov) for my mini 6 trade-in. Fingers crossed.

pick up is gdex or pos malaysia? I thought POS, but someone got gdex courier

Mine is POS, according to the person I spoke to on the phone. I didn’t get any email* asking me to choose between dropoff or pick-up even 24hrs after receiving my order, so I called Apple yesterday afternoon and they scheduled it for me.

*actually the email did eventually arrive last night, but by that time already scheduled everything via phone. Clicked the link in email at it confirmed already scheduled, although didn’t show the date. I guess I will just have to trust Apple and wait for POS guy to call me Monday.

someone mentioned before, they wont call. u just need to wait 1 whole day for them to come.
Been thinking if can drop any post office? did they give u the package to wrap the apple devices?

She said she will try to check for me.
Maybank should be OK.
No worries, they will inform and call you. It was a good experience for me.
You can but you will need to choose drop off when trade-in selection appears. They will have the box etc in post office for you to do it. Someone shared on iPhone 16 Pro/Pro Max thread before.
I was at TRX earlier to trade-in my Mini 6, got the full amount 1150 as expected in a gift card. Super crowded but staffs are friendly as usual. If buy physically from TRX, can still bring old device to trade in later and they will offset the amount with your earlier purchase, so long it’s within 14 days of physical purchase.

you was lucky. i was there just now. Cannot trade in mac mini and imac. These 2 devices only can accept trade in via online
