Sad to say that’s all telco procedures. Cause every unit sold by telco is definitely contract based and every unit IMEI had to be linked to the contract base owner. Probably Apple official store have a different policy since every unit sold have no contact probably can get replacement on the spot if found defective.

I kena before on my iPhone X, which is got few line trap under the original screen(has been reported by a lot of users)
, and maxis no responsible for it. End up Apple Support Online request a replacement for me (brand new sealed set, not refurbish). Apple was very good service before.

Can share some pic? Maybe got some special solution to remove the smudge? (alcohol or something) If yes then will be good.

Spot the smudge. Top left of the Apple logo. 😓

This is very obvious, can’t believe such cosmetic issue can be release to the market…

sorry to hear this happened to you, maxis could def handle this better instead of being so lc lol. yea case will solve this as most would’ve said, but doesn’t sit right with me too paying money and getting cosmetic right of the get go.

Since yours is from Maxis. Upon unboxing, did you receive Apple leaflet? Cause when I unbox, I didn’t receive that Apple documentation. Just cable and the phone.

Wish you soon getting the replacement. 😊

Ouch, i can see it in first sight and it's a no no for me
It's our right to reject and ask for a replacement

If i'm you , i will request for a replacement or a solution , u are not paying a RM500-600 device , it's a RM5k-6k device.

Damn this is ridiculous. Never accepts this. Let Maxis use it back as a demo phone. Don't forget if you choose to trade in the future this will have a high probability to affect your trade in value.

That’s why yesterday when I’m inspecting the phone, maxis staff quickly ask me to sign this n that while disturbing me carefully check the phone. More like rushing me 🙄

Wohoooo!!! Finally after the long waits, Maxis finally message me this morning that my iPhone 17 PM is ready for collection. Supposed to get it on the 29th but received a msg that it will be delayed till 7th or after. The sales rep told me that actually the stocks are already here but Apple hold it. Not sure why and maybe because of quality issue. Thank god I didn’t get a lemon unit. Oh ya, I applied Torras AR Glass Protector Pro this morning and it’s quite convenient with the applicator. One go without any bubbles.

Looks like the 17 Pro is very popular as well. Also since launched the Pro version has been consistently unavailable and now still extends to 3 weeks for delivery.   

Nice! Rather wait than having to live with the pain...

Congrats. I wonder how much of our phones are being assembled in Vietnam nowadays. First time I am seeing Vietnamese in the box.

Anyone pre-order using Maxis?

till today what message or what call also don't have.
last delayed to 29th then delayed to 7th. today 7th already, no news at all.

Ordered from 15th Sep.

I finally made up my mind to skip this year’s iphone.. although finally a fresher design after a long while, but anything Apple bragged about this phone has been one upped by this xiaomi, including the processor speed and battery life. Hence make me think this phone is gonna be outdated too soon. I’m looking forward to their game for next year, I think then finally a matured new iphone. This year is kinda like iphone 12, or iphone X, or iphone 6s trial phases 

Case No. 6: UGREEN Magnetic Magsafe Crystal Transparent

This case is quite valuable, and it is actually quite nice-looking. However, it’s a hard case which slightly difficult to remove, and I’m not sure if it will scratch the phone or not during the removal process.



Case No. 7: Aulumu A17 Frosted Case - White

My all-time favorite case. I absolutely love it. The frosted white color perfectly match the phone orange.  🥰
