No, ours is only physical SIM+eSIM variant.

Yes, I'm using 16PM. Plastic? No la. More premium feeling but too bad it is aluminum for 17 Pro series for better heat dissipation.

They did explain it is for the thermal reason.

Oh sold out as well.

Yes. It is most likely Shopee's voucher.

Anyway, which case to recommend and screen protector?

Also, did anyone pre-order their iPhone 16 last year with Apple and got it on day 1 via shipping, not from Klang Valley?

I’m currently back in Seremban and thinking to go back KL only after next week. I'm not sure if I should go back to KL earlier just for the iPhone 17, assuming I’m lucky and manage to get into the first batch.

Super smooth, I picked up mine from TRX last year.

Oh, I forgot of the different storage sizes.
Mine is 256GB only.

Only those sold in the US will be made in India.

Non-US markets will still be made in China.

It is always like this if in the first batch, since last year, we only had a few days to consider.

Lesser days to consider, more chances for impulsive purchases.

Slap a case onto it, everything will be solved.

I will get the orange too. It is eye-catching, that's the whole purpose of buying it right?

If your phone has no major issues, that's the price they will pay you. They will collect from you via courier, I used it too even though I was in KL earlier. I didn't trade-in in TRX. Only my iPad Mini, I did it in TRX.

Contacted Apple and they took 1.5 months to resolve this matter as it involved the processor and bank. I tried contacting bank but RHB cannot see this transaction.

As a token of apology, Apple gave me RM 500 discount for my next purchase - iPad Mini 7. At least they tried their best to solve for me though I wasn't too happy initially as the junior CS cannot solve it. Finally their CS Manager solved for me.

Dark color cases will look nice for the contrast.

Eh, Sarawak cannot trade-in online?

I traded higher value for 15 Pro Max when I upgraded to 16 Pro Max.

That's sad.

I thought Switch will give higher value.

I see, learnt something new. Maybe due to the battery.

RM 3700 last year and now RM 3500 only.

No. Next Friday only can see.

Same, if you are in the first batch.

Yeah, that could be the reason. I forgot the fact that I spent RM 6499 for 15 Pro Max, I was so rich back then.

Mine is 256GB.

Will trade-in for sure. Nope, still 256GB as I have iCloud 2TB and I noticed I still have 110GB left for internal storage. So, 256GB is just nice for me.
