This was actually my 2nd order. My 1st order was with TMT and had an estimated shipping date starting from 19th Sept, however, due to a payment issue, the system automatically canceled the order.
I almost gave up, but later I checked again and saw that UR restocked. The AirPods were offered as a PWP item for RM50. Luckily, I had a Lazada secret voucher worth RM54, so in the end, I only paid RM5,995. Anyway the ETA shipping date is from 3rd Oct.

Oh no wonder you can get the AirPod free because of secret voucher, i paid the rm50 for the AirPod 4, so happen I’m planning to get my very first Apple AirPod heheehe

I think you need to pre-order with MBB card and not using it to pay for the balance.

Nowadays screen protector comes with its own forklift applicator. In the end, packaging bigger than the iPhone’s box. laugh.gif

Because 3D hot-bending does require alittle bit of skill to apply , that the reason why 3D hot bending must come with a rolling tools , or else the failure very high for newbie.

But once u get this kind of screen protector , u wont ever looking another type , because it just so easy , pull , roll , done 😆 my ip16pm and vivo x200s was using this kind of temp glass.

I pay $30 for one year validity. Then I buy the data as and when needed. Sometimes buy $10 for 5gb one year. Another time buy $10-15 for monthly data if I’m outside. Usually, I use Wi-Fi to surf.

If I want postpaid (don’t see the need yet), I’d rather get the maxis business plan $79 for my personal use. I sometime see maxis ppl setup booth at my company lobby. Offer seems quite good.

Hotlink Pantas is one of the hidden gem prepaid options. For cellular iPads or if your car has a sim tray for mobile connectivity, it’s basically the go-to plan in Malaysia, imho. I used to have one for my cellular iPad Pro, but ever since I switched to Maxis Fibre I just pay additional RM69/month for unlimited data for my phone and just hotspot nowadays.

I think should be doable, just contact their CS or go to any of their main branch.. not the small retailer..

I contacted their cs They said the contract renewed and tied already so cannot cancel. I tried escalating it to further management level still same answer. But I read the terms if I don’t pick up the phone at the pick up location 7 days after the phone is here then it will be refunded.

Reason why I want to cancel was I just press press for fun and not yet decided from who I want to buy still. But without the credit card information required from me they have already confirmed my order =_=

Please educate me. Is this “hot bending” different from the usual Hoda style “put into the plastic mould and press center” or the ESR style “box with pull tab” process? I HATE applying screen protectors. The last one I applied was a Bellemond for my iPad mini 7. It’s high quality glass, but the application was hell. The table in my house with the best overhead lighting for screen protectors application is just under the air conditioning unit, so I turned off the a/c before starting (to reduce chance of lint falling on the glass), and by the time I finished I was sweating like a horse sweat.gif

Currently, the Orange and Silver Pro Max on the Apple Store online are expected to take 3-4 weeks to ship. I cannot believe it for 2TB as well, which is RM 10k! shocking.gif Blue, on the other hand, only 1TB needs to wait 3-4 weeks, the rest will be delivered in 7-10 business days.

All the Pro Max was gone FAST! blink.gif

Only the Pro are still available except the silver.

The 17 are mostly sold out as well except for lavender.. mega_shok.gif

Next year I will get back from authorized dealers. So many good deals but because I have a gift card, so no choice. laugh.gif Oh ya, could be 2TB is limited, I was thinking maybe only I’m poor but not others who can spend RM 10k for phone. sweat.gif

Haha, yeah, I got the same text from UOB too. Next year I will also get from dealer - but I think it’ll be a more muted affair next year since they just had a major redesign this year. Should be plenty of stocks to go around laugh.gif

QUOTE(ftan @ Sep 13 2025, 11:07 AM)
Yup, I’m back. Hehe. I stopped buying from maxis long time already. Using Hotlink pantas plan which suits me just fine.

How are you? Bought your iPhone already?
*
I’m good! Haha.. ohh, you changed to a Hotlink plan. I have a sub line going for a family member so that’s not an option for me. Was on the 139 plan for the past couple of years but will switch to 109 this round with a new maxis contract. Yeah, haven’t preordered but waiting for maxis to give me a call coz I just placed an ROI directly with them. Couldn’t preorder coz I plan to trade in my older 15 Pro Max to offset the device price - they’ve offered the best trade in value for it so far.

Hehe, I use this for my iPad too - it’s great! RM30 for a year validity and RM10 for 5GB that’s good for up to a year smile.gif

No, I don’t think anyone offers this kinda service.

I have Apple Care Plus for my 16 Pro Max. Paid 899 for it and replaced my cracked screen once at Apple TRX for a service fee of RM150

Personally, for me, Apple Care plans is only worth it for Airpods (because of frequent driver failure or battery issues). For the rest, I find a protective case better and cheaper. But if you prefer going commando then I guess Apple Care Plus is the best you can hope for.

Hi all, I have an extra IP 16 Pro Max Screen Protector, can it fit the IP 17 Pro Max? I see that the screen size seems to be the same

Make full payment first then after you get your new phone and you will be given with 14 days to return back the phone. You need to choose a pickup date which Apple will send a courier service to your place to collect back the phone. Pass the courier guy your old phone (no need accessories or box) and they will put in a box and sealed for you. Sit back and wait for Apple’s inspection and they will refund you the money back to your payment method later.

Thanks, useful info. Meaning we will not know how much our phone will cost until they inspect right?
