Ya my charging station using honor cable as im using honor phone.

Now need to change cable liao...lol

As promised, here’s the full breakdown/timeline of my switch from iPad mini 6 to 7 through Apple MY;

10/11/2024
Ordered iPad mini 7 [Wi-Fi 128GB) online at Apple Malaysia.
Selected device trade-in for my mini 6 (Wi-Fi 64GB). Apple offered RM1,150.
Maybank and CIMB were listed as the “partnering banks” in Apple’s checkout page, so decided to use FPX via Maybank Visa debit card (my credit cards are from other banks) hoping for less complications related to the trade-in process (because fruitie’s tragic RHB story scared me already) later on.

11/11/2024 - 14/11/2024
New iPad min7 shipped out on 11 Nov and arrived at my doorstep on 14 Nov.
Invoice and shipping updates received via email throughout the process.
No engraving, so shipped from Apple’s Singapore facility. SG-KL-JB via DHL.

15/11/2024
Did not receive any new email asking me to select trade-in method, even though 24hrs passed.
Decided to call Apple Support for help.
The rep organised Pos Malaysia pickup for me on 18/11/2024.

18/11/2014
Pos Malaysia picked up my old iPad mini 6 in the evening.
They don’t provide the dedicated box for iPad returns/trade-ins shown on Apple’s website.
You’re supposed to place your iPad into a medium white envelope (has bubble-wrap inner lining) and then place that into a box before slapping on a Pos sticker. Then you put it into another foil cover and slap on the shipping label.
Remember to take photos of the packing and shipping label. Also, if you feel the protection isn’t enough, wrap your iPad in a bit more bubble-wrap beforehand, or use some of those airbag things you often get from Shopee deliveries to stop your envelope moving around inside the shipping box.

*Neither Apple nor Pos will give you an exact pick-up time so you could end up wasting a whole day waiting for courier dude to arrive. If you have the means, I think it would be better to drop off the package yourself. Apple will provide compatible courier branches near your address as well as a trade-in ref number.

19/11/2024
Trade-in in arrived and processed within one day (yes, I was very surprised).
Received email stating everything was in order and they would refund me within 5 business days.
Interestingly, they use the term “refund” for trade-ins as well. Likely some sort of offsetting related to accounting department in order to class it as a single product transaction.

22/11/2024
Promised trade-in amount credited into my account that was tied to the debit card.
The partner merchant was listed as Razer according to my account transaction history. Also, the date was listed as 21/11/2024 so I assume there’s a 1 day float period for FPX or debit card related refunds.

TL;DR
Overall I’d say it’s a smooth process, but the initiation of trade-in and clarity of messaging related to it needs to be better. Anything related to Apple or their longstanding logistics partner (eg: DHL) is smooth as butter, but stuff that requires Apple liaising with a local partner can get a bit lumpy.

Im planning to buy this ipad mini a17,

Will there be any sale on black friday?

till now my ipad mini still cant log in fb app   ... anyone can give any solution?   i try to google all .. no solution still de...

so the latest one mini 7 right ? sorry im not that expert bout apple product but 128gb variant seems suit with my budget

128gb ok la for light usage 

Sharing my gaming setup with the Mini - using Gamesir G8+ while playing Balatro on Xbox Cloud gaming 👍

To be honest, I hardly use my iPad and usually leave it on the table unattended for a few days. I think I have encountered twice when I picked up the iPad it shows I need to input my PIN as it has restarted? What's the issue ya...

Don't know how to replicate the issue to report back to Apple.

Let's see if it is still happening.

Hi guys, tempted to purchase apple pencil pro, but rarely use ipad for drawing, sketch, note taking etc..

Still justifying myself to get one. Any thoughts from you guys

Curious how come iPad Mini at Switch is out of stock, like nationwide. Initially saw their staff like remove it from shelf, when asked they said out of stock. Contacted their WhatsApp told me out of stock for all their branches.

Hear from my friend that charging the ipad via 3rd party charger and cable will make the battery health drop sooner compare with using ori charger, is it true? First time apple user here

What about those brand like anker, aukey, baseus? I have multiple GAN charger at home as I used for others android devices, each will just pair to the right charging protocol when plugged in, and I thought Ipad mini should do the same...until I hear the statement from my friend which make me confuse

Decided to get ipad mini 7 and waiting for 6.6 promo

I intend to use it mainly for note taking and light entertainment

Should i get the Apple Pencil USB-C? Main concern is whether 3rd party pencil might not work as good as Apple Pencil

Glad to hear the new iPadOS does not left out ipad mini. Even multitasking is coming. Last time when using the Mini I really wish it has stage manager and when connected to monitor does not only mirror the ipad screen. Now it is definitely a sweet little tablet

But I’m spoiled with my super cheap iPad Air M1, got it even cheaper than the Mini. Bigger screen does feel nicer to read and take notes.. the only downside is it is not as portable than the Mini

Hi guys,

Just picked up the Mini 7 A17 Pro on Lazada for Rm1699 to replace my iPad Pro 11 Inch 2020 A12z Bionic.

Has anyone purchased Applecare before & how was the experience in claiming? Is it worth getting?

Thanks.

New iPad Mini A17 pro user here. Just bought it 2 weeks ago. Was contemplating whether to purchase the AppleCare Plus initially.

Then today it happened. Since I carried this iPad almost everywhere I go(damn its just fits so well into my small bag, bringing to work, going out), this afternoon I came home and I took it out from the bag and then.. somehow the iPad slipped from my hand. The worst thing is that it had the original folio on and when I tried to grab it, I somehow only able to grab the folio part, and the iPad just detached from it aaand. "BAM!", face down on the tile floor.

I thought its gone case. But upon inspecting back luckily just the corner is dented, screen is totally fine.

5 mins later I purchased AppleCare Plus. No regret. Haha..
