Orange or blue? 😅

My casing and tempered glass is here from Ringke South Korea, but my 17 Pro Max still no news from CD

You are biased already.

Still thinking. 😅

My trade-in has just completed.



24th Sept Wednesday: Poslaju picked it up from me
25th Sept Thursday: Received by Schenker Logistics (appointed by Apple)
27th Sept Saturday: Trade-in completed

Now let’s see when can I get back the refund on my credit card.

Fruitie iPhone is 16PM 256GB.. so it’s RM3.5k.
Most here will say don’t need. But if you must, you need to get sapphire type to avoid micro scratches.

I been using x-one sapphire camera armor pro. Didn’t notice any lens flare or refraction. Either that I’m blind… hahaha.

Nice , I’m preorder for my 14 pro

nope not required ...

p/s: sorry forgot to multi-quote

Guess what after the trade-in completed, that gift card is kinda refunded back to me and I got an email for gift card this afternoon which I thought was a glitch. I checked my emails again then I saw Apple sent me a gift card of the same value I used earlier for 17PM. When I purchased the 17PM, my credit card was already charged with the amount after offset with the gift card.

So double gift cards from Apple? Is this happening to you too?

I’m not complaining if it’s free money though then I can use it to buy an iPhone 17 for my mom.

I just threw away the physical gift card two days ago so I cannot validate if the PIN is the same but the last 4 digits of the online gift card number is different from the one I used earlier to buy 17PM. I tried applying this new PIN and it works, I can apply it.
Edit: Oh damn. I just read this on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/kjk...e_using_a_gift/
Apparently, Apple will first refund back to my gift card and the balance to my credit card. Meaning to say I will only get 2350 refunded back to my credit card as my gift card is 1150. This is absolutely nonsense. I will end up with endless loop of gift card refund if I keep trading in my phone and use a gift card.

Yeah, seen good review & how good the air cushion at the edges.. but personally for me need to have something non plain that cover the plateau area..

Hope for many more new innovative design by the accessories company that wanna make money at this area..

Let me consider it.
who is willing to buy at full price?
I don’t understand your statement.

I just checked and yes I have this cut, but its at the side not bottom...

Its also not noticeable unless under bright light or zoom right into it..my camera lens however captures it clearly (s25 ultra), which its not exactly that visible to naked eyes..

I bought it from Apple trx so im entitled to return, will I do it though? Hmm maybe not..



Another zoomed out different lighting pic:-

Dun understand leh hahaha

Just trying my luck, but yes they allow me to exchange for one time.

Yup, TRX.

So I walked pass Pavilion BB and went into machines, saw there's a Sienna techwoven and apparently its the last piece (staff told me this colour sold out everywhere), fomo me went and grab it and gacha to see if its defected inside...turns out its all good even better than the one im using which I got from TRX, so I guess im returning it..no cracks side bottom etc..



more pics:

Did a battery test recently. And due to the new ‘not so good’ Battery Usage graph in iOS 26 / iPhone 17 Pro Max, had to take off phone from charger at midnight to start the test from 80% (Max Charge per settings currently).

So far from 80% to 18%, can still achieve 7 hours+ Screen On Time for daily use (5G/WiFi mixed, Adaptive Power Mode).

I believe if I leave it to 100% max charge, should be able to get 10 hours minimum without a hitch. ☺️

However, I don’t see it as significantly different compared to 16 Pro Max battery performance. Just sad that we didn’t get the ‘Fully eSIM’ Pro Max iPhone 17 which has about 10% more capacity. 🥲
