good info!! just checked, approval date on 29 Oct 2024. rclxms.gif

I am considering to get it in HK mid Nov if the MY launch it too late. But I notice in some HK youtube about the Mini 7, seems like Apple Intelligent is disabled in HK Ipad. Not sure is at hardware level or just location. Anyone got any idea how those geo-restriction is working?

Maybe hardware restriction as China/HK no AI stuff.

I forgot to check for few days already, good to know it’s approved. Then it’s coming to us soon.

yes, did a google search and seems like it is hardware locked, have to wait for MY launch then. Hopefully can get it before my HK trip mid Nov.

Btw, how long normally Switch will have the stock at the outlet after Apple launch it online?

QUOTE
If your iPhone model ends in CH/A then it cannot have Apple Intelligence at this time as it's restricted by the Chinese government regardless of the physical location of the iPhone.

How to get Apple Intelligence - Apple Support

For China residents: Apple Intelligence will not currently work for supported devices purchased in China mainland. For supported devices purchased outside of China mainland, Apple Intelligence will not currently work if you are in China mainland and if your Apple Account Country/Region is also in China mainland.

When Apple Intelligence is available in the EU or China mainland, previously purchased devices that support Apple Intelligence will be able to activate and use it in that region.

too bad place order past 3pm, delivery become 15/11. sweat.gif

I think the units already in Malaysia since now they have Malaysia Apple Store, most likely item shipped from KL warehouse.

All this while the Apple product I bought all shipped from overseas.

Klang Valley people all GDEX issit? Mine DHL Express to JB. Actually, all my previous orders from Apple have always been DHL also.

I am actually sending it to Skudai, also JB area. I think previously my Apple product all shipped thru Fedex though. Never sent by DHL before. Only office Lenovo laptops shipped via DHL all the time.

i thought the cheapest and easiest way is to just get a sub-line for it? I have been using my U Mobile sub-line for my tablet all the while.

How do you actually get used to using ipad mini as a notebook?

I use physical planner, but I don't know if I could get used to writing digitally, feels so weird.

Also another thing that I have learnt is that Ninjaz accessories are really overpriced and the quality is so bad.
*
For me, Ipad can't replace my paper notebook. It is more of a mini computer for me to consume media and check on office email etc while on the go.


QUOTE(Zaryl @ Nov 19 2024, 06:52 PM)
pair / activate the esim with the new ipad mini 7 cellular.

like last time, i activate xox prepaid esim on my iphone 15, need to receive SMS TAC/OTP.
*
For U Mobile, just scan the QR code from the U Mobile app after you register the esim. I use physical sim in my old Ipad and I can switch to esim using the U Mobile app and activate it on my new Ipad Mini without the need to visit the U Mobile service centre.


QUOTE(dman @ Nov 20 2024, 10:48 AM)
Yup, and the portability is great can just put inside my working bag without taking up much space.

The only issue is only can use apple's usb cable C to charge it, others usb c cable not working on it.  doh.gif
*
why not? I keep the original usb cable and charger in the box ever since i got it. Try get some better quality cable. I am using Ugreen cable to charge the Ipad Mini without any issue.

I am using U Mobile U Family 128 plan for 3 mobile phones and 1 Ipad Mini. RM128 for 4 lines with 1,000GB data and all 4 lines got global roaming 15GB in 63 countries. Can't find any better than this.

I have no issue activate the e-sim in my Ipad Mini. I think I did the activation by via the U Mobile app, just DIY, no need to receive sms for activation.
