Yeah because matte will block the lidar sensor while clear is transparent so should have no effect.

Got lidar cutout.. then doesn't matter matte or clear ma... No? Am I missing something here.. if no cut out only a consideration...

Everyone is bias.. YouTubers are human like us.. but considerably not as much as others... Others will just stay good and etc like reading a script.. mobilereviewseh at least give data and explains why...

Ultimately it's your choice to decide.

Mine was photos, files transfer (including whatsapp) then apps downloaded later. Much faster than my previous way of transferring using iTunes. Damn, they should start upgrading iTunes already, so outdated lol
*
Apple Quick Start is the “successor” to iTunes so that it wont be dependent on PC/Mac.

If you want faster way, plug in usb c to usb c wired, else side by side transfer will suffice as well.

This how the plateau protector packaging looks like, each pack has two pieces and yes they have the lidar sensor cutout. thumbup.gif

After applying it, the first piece had bubbles and this is the second piece. I told my sister, I only have these two and the seller has no more stock for now. laugh.gif Luckily, the second piece went pretty well.

I’m kinda satisfied to be honest, now I’m no more paranoid. So buy buy buy when they are available again!

dikae, arshad, shockk, vin39, dreamthief and whoever is interested to see the output.

Looks good… oos… have to wait for restock then. The Pics and description very misleading to be honest. That’s why earlier I had an impression it is glass. And missing the LiDAR cut out.

The baddie who went and checkout everything, don’t do it again next time. Hahah tongue.gif vin39

Thanks thanks for the well wishes same goes to you. It's hard for my excitement to go down since my 17PM feels supremely superior to the 15PM I had. Now the things I do on my phone are progressing in 2x the speed, I really didn't think it's possible for Apple to impressed me again but they did and I'm in love. I've finally managed to get my 17PM to tell me that 'my battery life is higher than it normally is at this certain time' so I feel very good indeed and also I realized that my 17PM actually charges when I am using the Qi wireless charging pad in my car whereas the 15PM I had before it wouldn't make a difference whether I wireless charge it in the car or not as it needs long time to even gain 1% of battery life added in, so now I feel like the stock in-built wireless pad actually being useful  rclxm9.gif

It's just a cheapo blueo innovation cleaner bro. I am looking for something with strong oleophobic effect and long lasting application so that every time my 17PM got dirt and grime on the screen I can spray, wipe and be rid of them  bruce.gif
*
Apple Store also uses this cleaner. Whoosh.

Have to get from Amazon, no local seller.

Yes, I also thought it is without the LiDAR cutout. Already prepared to use a puncher to make the hole. laugh.gif
I saw reviews are all film, so I know they cannot be glasses.
Yeah, go and buy before OOS again, I tell you there are a lot of silent readers here. sweat.gif
But from China, need to wait for a while to arrive.

Sharing is caring.. besides plenty of stocks. By 30th September… so ain’t that bad.

Question;
Can any magsafe case support the new 25W wireless charging standard or do they need to specifically have some sort of Qi2.2 label? Not a fan of the handbag loop holes at the bottom of Apple’s own cases, so I’m looking at third party ones.
*
It’s not MagSafe case that supports the charging. It’s iPhone itself just to clarify.

So long your charger supports Qi2.2 and 25W wireless charging, it’s fine. The case you need strong magnets placement like MagSafe to utilize. Think of this way, without a proper MagSafe case (meaning the magnet alignment), the case would be too thick to reach the iPhone wireless coils when you place the wireless charger.

Bad memories. Mine was wrapped with dbrand. Taking it off, then some of the anodized paint chipped. Heart broken. Got dinged few hundred when traded in. That time was Switch.

USD 59, I'm too poor for this. laugh.gif Also, the Apple logo is hidden. Apple is not doing right this time...

Apple shifted the Apple Logo down and caught every case maker in surprise especially those transparent/clear case. Even teardown videos, the MagSafe alignment is a little bit off centered.

Maybe iPhone 17 series has two paths. iPhone Air being “innovative” and other iPhone 17 series is start of Apple downfall.

But still no excuse not to go see Apple Tech woven cases. (Please provide proof of visit btw).

God tier phone. 10yrs old and still received 15.8.5 security update last week My mum still keeps hers as a secondary phone (no sim inside, but the Whatsapp for her old number still works). Hers is nice Product Red colour. Replaced the battery around 4yrs ago. Everything still functioning.

surprising. Someone posted in one of the older iPhone threads, got security update.. haha biggrin.gif

the material is good as well, quite sturdy and durable compared to the silicone/fine woven....buttons are very clicky and tactile..something like their leather case buttons in the past..

the seller often restock, gotta camp for it every now and then... or try other sellers suggested in one of the earlier posts?

fruitie something strike my mind all of a sudden when a friend asks about the camera base film protector adhesive/glue, not sure if it'll do anything to the aluminum material i.e remove the anodize paint when removing the film..or leave permanent mark etc... idk lol i told him its better than living the fear of scratches from putting/removing the phone from pocket all the time...chances of scratching without the film is far greater than film leaving marks/removing paints..
*
I think it would.. iphone 7 days...I applied dbrand skins on day 1.. when trading in... Switch staff ask me to remove... I removed it... The anodize paint came along... Get deducted few hundred. sad.gif

Since then never buy from Telco or Apple resellers. If u gonna trade in to Apple... Just live free and semi wild 😜!!!


QUOTE(TongCN @ Sep 23 2025, 05:09 PM)
Still no stock sad.gif

Techwoven really looks nice biggrin.gif
How's the button click ?

But no more budget T__T

U can order from shopee links I got. I ordered.. waiting for delivery end of this month.

Which model you applied dbrand?

Last time i applied dbrand on iphone 11 and removed at Switch there, very beauty body after 4 years usage.
Not a single scratch.
iPorn 11 also using Aluminium body just not sure the material grade compare to 17 Pro, hmm

Iphone 7 plus series .. not called pro max yet right? Haha


QUOTE(dikae @ Sep 23 2025, 06:03 PM)
DBrand skins for sure will tear the paint off coz the glue is super strong..the adhesive/glue from this alcheapo film is no where close to DBrand’s power…it’s like the screen protector glue we used to get from early iPhone era…so there’s a chance it won’t remove the paint…I used to put dbrand skins too so I know how strong the glue is compared to this..
Yea I think should be ok too…. I just check on the lens film to test the glue, it’s not very sticky actually…the type that won’t stick anymore after removing 1-2 times lol…
*
Not true... Dbrand skins shouldn't do that or rather anodized shouldn't.

Its time to check for display panel manufacturer!!!

https://it-training.apple.com/tutorials/support/sup075/

Follow the guide from apple to generate the Analytics.

After that, Settings -> Privacy and security -> Analytics and improvements -> ANalytics data

Extract out the sysdiagnose_XXXX file. unpack the gzip file, look for "ioreg" and file "IODeviceTree". Look for "raw-panel".

Samsung
G9N
G9Q
G9P

LG
G9C
GH3
GVC


let me start first, blueberry 512GB, Apple Store TRX. GH3 LG panel. Seems all my iPhones are destined to get LG, never once got Samsung. Buy lottery also not that easy to hit.... hahah whistling.gif

Btw, how's your guys battery life?

First boot : 19.09.2025 around 11pm to setup
Cycle count : 3 as of 24.09.2025

But this morning usage a bit weird:
Last night charged 7:59pm till 85% fixed and no use
Morning 6:15am woke up and 77%
*
Charged to 94% around 1am, woke up 7am, 88%. Seems averagely similar. I'm just chill after 16PM, so much care and devotion, it still dropped unexpectedly. I'm going free and easy this 17PM.

But whole day shooting and using phone, can really last. end of day, around 29%.

So what’s the battery percentage? Still 100%?

has anyone tried trade-in with CEX before? that day i went to Paradigm Mall PJ outlet to check the trade-in price for my 16PM.

surprisingly they offered at least few hundreds(minimum)more than Apple.
*
Yes I did. CEX is nitpicky. But quote is high.. wait till they test the device to know actual price. If after testing it is higher, just trade with them. Else go back to Apple trade in.


QUOTE(INGfusion @ Sep 24 2025, 02:17 PM)
i know this brand long ago, only that their price stopped my hand to click order

i like their VEIL series, slim + frost with precious bottom speaker cutout, scratch proof ok la, but if drop i also not sure because of this series so minimalist
going to trx later to test techwoven case and send my airpod pro to check  vmad.gif , ever since upgraded to ios26 airpod pro gen 1 cannot connect to iphone had to drop by trx let apple tech have a check

Test? Buy u mean… hehe
