Wait this offer is only applicable for maxis customers and for device purchases only right? The offer I got was for a direct cash trade-in
*
Those retailers and telco all using Compasia. Might as well deal with them directly.

Or u can check out CEX stores webuy.com.

Agree 100% on casetify

Tried & bought once for my new 14P 2 years ago, indeed bulky & heavy (plus point is the protection that the iphone will get lah)..

Use it for few days only & managed to get it 100% refunded by them after shipping back the case to HK..

Never had a pitaka yet.. price on the high end..
Gone wete the days where i sanggup buy nearly 1k casing like element case black ops.. really crazy to thing back again.. haha
*
Don't think so much... pitaka is nice case...phone already expensive...

I wonder where is our case god .... Summoning jutsu andrewtst

Time to change!!!

Did they tell you when to pick up or being delivered on? I pre-ordered my 17PM Cosmic Orange 512GB on the 12th September at 8:02pm also got zero status update and not guaranteed to get on launch day itself  bangwall.gif
That's the weird part.. I tried doing it from my PC and it asked for RM10 for the transfer but then I was so busy I actually forgot to proceed with it then when I remembered to switch to e-sim again, this time I did it from the app and it was free of charge despite both were logged into the same account.  biggrin.gif

I neither use a case or a screen protector or any kind of cover since my Iphone 3GS era  cool2.gif
If RM3 extra for 512GB 17PM i've been scammed lol  bruce.gif
*
Rm3k lah….. notworthy.gif




Looks like the new Apple techwoven cases are good.. anyone buying? Rm299... Makes Pitake cases look cheap.

The main color I don’t like, will wait for iPhone 18 series next year. ☺️

Summoning Lowyat iPhone council task force. fruitie shockk dikae help... master isn't thinking right... It was like just yesterday Master drove from Johor to TRX to collect phone last year. Such passion and dedication.....


QUOTE(dev/numb @ Sep 15 2025, 02:23 AM)
This guy and his dog are my favourite case and screen protector reviewers on youtube.

The main pro of Apple cases is guaranteed perfect fit for early bird iPhone buyers. Other case makers use dummy mockups based on leaks, so there’s a chance they might be 0.5mm off here and there (majority won’t admit and will silently fix their cases in the next batch after the real iPhones are out). The other benefit of Apple cases is perfectly functioning camera control button feedback.

I’m a fan of Apple’s silicon cases. They last surprisingly long without getting loose and are friendly to most screen protectors. Hopefully these new techwoven ones are just as good.
*
Silicon cases now all branded in beatsbydre.. looks good actually. The kickstand case is smart design.

QUOTE(fruitie @ Sep 15 2025, 03:19 AM)
Good job. laugh.gif

Those Apple’s Techwoven cases look good though. I was attracted to them when they were announced during the event.
*
I sense u will buy Techwoven case... Mobioeehreview also gave thumbs up... Worth it.

Doesn’t matter, it’s still gonna take some time to transfer regardless whichever way. laugh.gif Banks apps are the headache for me actually.

Anyway, I cannot recall if PBB required to do at the ATM but I know MBB and RHB required. Which banks still need to go to ATMs?
*
Pbb, mbb and RHB need. If not mistaken.. need to check my financial app migration pain points last year posted. Hehe


Uhm… xiaomi pro phone releasing.. is like iPhone pro models but with back display panel… coincidence?

I was checking China Apple store website and checking the stock count in nearly every region and cities. OMG it is selling like hotcakes there. Everywhere is out of stock even the blue color and that’s including the 17, Pro, and Pro Max. It is a total sweep. The Air however is not available for sale yet.
*
Seems like cosmic orange and blue is more popular. Silver is dead last. Depending on market either orange or blue in lead.

Based on western media.. tomshardware… and few others

I checked back my sharing last year in 16 PM thread, PBB I requested via email as there’s no nearby branch. MBB and RHB I went to ATMs because no other option. 

That Xiaomi phone with back display panel is also one of the rumored designs for iPhone 17 Pro. laugh.gif
*
Pbb can? I check back.. I went to branch… maybe pbb allowed. For xiaomi, see my earlier modified post. Not rumored… released… Lowyat TikTok also released pics.

They gave quotation with estimated rm1.8k, but after I send it they said my MacBook got broken and gave me rm0 value ask me to recycle it, but before I post it out I did double check my MacBook all working and screen also cantik cantik, end up I keep complaint them than they return my MacBook with rm300 compensation
As least you can walk in let them check your phone and get actual quotation on the spot, but you can sell higher price if you post on carousel, after post submitted within 2-5 mins you will receive a lot pm and keen buyer they usually cod with you within 30-1 hour
*
maybe isolated case. I been doing trade in for iPhone and MacBook pro, was a pleasant experience. To be honest, i kinda expect some bad to happen to get some sorry voucher from Apple.

Also, i remember someone here went to trade in in TRX (sorry forgot who) was sweating because iphone to iphone transfer took too long. it's either take home and another day to return the trade in set or do it same day.

actually this kind of design already widely used on their Poco line for few year , when the iphone 17 pro photo leak , people saying that the iphone 17 pro look alike Poco iphone haha, but whatever. The phone design already hit the ceiling , really not much thing can make magic , for me the special one this year was Nothing Phone 3 , the design can be either very outstanding for someone or ugly for someone 😆
*
Yes you are right. But people tend to compare within the current phone releases.

Nothing phone 3 does take the cake for design. I think iPhone Cosmic Orange takes the boldest color cool2.gif bruce.gif

Fortunately now wechat has a promotion until dec 31 2025 with zero transactions fee for any single purchase below ¥200 and daily transactions not above ¥1000.

learn a lesson, now all my ipong i sell it on carousel
i sold a few ipongs on this platform so far price confirm higher than apple or compasia, before i post my item i will just get online quotation from apple and compasia app than just increase RM100-200 on my post, within 1-2 hours confirm i can cod and sold it
*
but if you willing to sell elsewhere, i do think ideal and you can fetch higher prices. I trade in to Apple/Compasia, just to avoid hassle and inconvenience. I'm just unlucky with selling outside (some idiots will cash delivery, then haggle price, ask to go meet up dont appear, claim issue during 1 week personal warranty etc).

Umobile offer iphone 17 pro 256GB at RM 4,069 cash (or interest free installment) binded for 2 years. is this a good deal ?
*
Always you purposely sign up telco plan, you are actually subsidizing it instead. But if company paying for it, why not.


QUOTE(soonwai @ Sep 16 2025, 10:40 PM)
How much for the line per month? Add that for 2yrs to the cost. May be worth it. 5499-4069=1,430, you have quite a lot to play with.

For example, my Digi is RM25/mth so 25x24=600 for 2 yrs. (not including topup bonus)
*
oo... Mr soonwai also appear liao... upgrading this year? Also Master andrewtst refusing to upgrade citing color not nice... need help to convince.

Tried Hoda many times as it is easily available in Machines and Switch, hence it is on of the recommended brand from those AARP. However, Hoda's are quite thin compared to ZAGG etc. Easily cracked. Since this year iPhones comes with the Anti Reflective feature, i suggest you to hold on as any SP defeat the purpose of the AR feature. Similiar thing happended when Samsung introduced AR in S24U last year. After market SP did not do justice to the AR feature, so you need to buy from Samsung only. That time la haha

no such luck like u..... some will say far la. meet at MRT station near my place.... but oh well. Also, Apple trade is transparent and good, maybe your case is rare. But why not, get some sorry voucher biggrin.gif

I'm bad luck type, so got sorry voucher is good for me... hehe

give them rm50 discount if come to your place to cod  brows.gif if your phone in superb condition confirm buyer come sapu very fast 1, because they can resell it, some compasia who come collect phone with customer, if phone still in superb condition they will personally buy it from customer and resell it back

haha... my phones are in superb condition.... dealing with Compasia, trade in price, they usually add RM50-RM100.

Never thought of it..

unfortunately no. Have to order directly on website. Bit pricey. Also it comes with installer, so it's idiot proof.

ProGuard seems bulky, but checked the dimensions and weight, same with UltraGuard which is coming soon.
any thoughts? haha want to buy a thin and light phone case. or i just wait for UltraGuard

Ultra Slim is meant for every day usage and not for drop protection. If u been careful with your devices, why not.

So yes, either ultra slim or wait ultraguard.

it's 100x easier if u have your old phone so u can unauthorize your old phone and activate security stuff on new phone.

If u dont have access to old phone and u didnt unbind it, gg.

If Microsoft Authenticator from your company, can go to the portal to unregister it and register new device. Troublesome no doubt.

Other bank apps with device binding, cleaner if u deregister from current device.. else can deactivate old device when register new device. No biggies..
