Sorry for you kenak lemon piece  sweat.gif

So for malaysia, Taobao won't send a new one but to refund only?
Gonna place order for iPhone 17 one next month though support says that both iPhone 17 & 17 Pro share the same pieces just that roller doesn't compatible  sweat.gif
I recall Metal cloth also no give squeegee cause the roller = squeegee already
Just basic cleaning cloth and wipe

Ya metal cloth doesnt provide but rabbit do have, but i dont use also because my unit doesnt have bubble

Even if have bubble and u don't have the squeegee , just use your credit card will do , it can be refine by following this step

Haha, my virgin (first time) application on 17P no bubble issue, too
So next upcoming 17 non-pro will continue use this brand.

Cause the "spec" of this really really high quality so far

Except now tiny dust accumulate between the gap of case and TG (above screen protector) if my pocket is dusty.
Use Dyson with scratch-free soft dusting brush and clean, LOL

I even use this to clean the Plateau edge there punya dust
*
Cuma 1 thing to take note , it will starting cause micro scratch if u always keep & take out your phone from jean pocket , my pattern of usage , no matter how i taking of care , after almost 3rd month will start appear micro scratch , that also the reason why i always HUNT Cost-effectiveness & change my temp glass every 3-6 month to get the "NEW" feeling biggrin.gif because when it start to accumulate more micro scratch , it so obvious especially under the sun rclxub.gif , 3 week more to go , will grab some spare on 11.11 sales biggrin.gif


u can also use this blower blow tiny dust before use a physical tools "touch" the surface.

If you have the attached tools, you maybe able to remove those bubbles.

This tools came with Spigen screen protector and it is very effective at removing any single bubble.

Case: No brand super slim matte case

If you love slim cases that are easier to remove, probably won’t scratch your phone when you take it out, this is the one for you.

I purchase from a shop that doesn’t have a branded logo. I’m unable to share any links or provide information about this product. 😅

Hi all,

I'm planning to upgrade my 15 Pro Max 256GB & currently in dilemma on which upgrade shall i go for. There's 2 options that I'm currently considering which are:

1. Iphone 17 Pro Max 256GB
2. Iphone 17 Pro 512GB

I've been using my 15PM for 2 years now and i wouldn't mind settling down for the non-max version in favour of extra memory capacity. Or alternatively i could just go ahead with the 17 Pro Max for greater battery life but would have to settle with 256GB. As im currently looking to hold on to the new phone for atleast 2 years, would it make sense to go for the max version or the non max version.

Truly appreciate any form of advice & I do apologize in advance if this post is inadequate. Thank you.
*
Pro max vs Pro , is about 1 day per charge vs 1 day 2 charge. (Assume that quite heavy usage)


Need to ask by yourself , do you hard to get charging in the middle of the day? If it's not hard , then it should be no problem to go for PRO , i assume u will consider PRO is because the weight & small size easy to handle right. And since u going to use only around 2 year , so the battery health should be more than enough for your usage.


If plan to use more than 2 year like 3-5 year, perhaps after entering 3rd year , the ProMax might become only need 2 charge per day and PRO might become 3/4 charge per day which will cause annnoying to you.

So if u able to get charging in the middle of the day and only going to use for 2 year , then it's totally no problem smile.gif

Not to mention , PRO sizing is more pocket friendly , putting pro max especially in a jean isnt fun at all.

Pro and pro max is not really 1 charge vs 2 charges. After intense testing for 3 weeks on same usage, its about remaining 50% vs 30/35% by end of the day difference. So I would say its 1 charge per day for both devices on normal usage, on heavy usage I think need 2 charges for both devices.
*
I do highlight "assume heavy usage" , if for normal usage like replying email , whatsapp , social media without heavily video or camera , any phone with latest chip is for sure enough for daily usage without need to recharge.


Normally will see the gap after maybe 2-3 year where battery health degrade and PRO model definitely need more charge.

Not an issue i think, because most of us who having two phones.... if one of the phone got low batt, we just throw it aside and let it charge while using the other one.... now i'm just hoping i'm able to sign in my work's WhatsApp on my iPhone so ... when i'm travelling probably just leave my workphone at my office. LOL.... i'm eager to see staff try calling me to find outi didn't bring my phone to travel.

I think u can use the "LINKED devices" feature on the whatsapp between two phone.

Check out this tiktok video

Or another way is , using Chrome on your phone , change to desktop mode , then open with web.whatsapp.com , then linked it with QR code.

Haha, the item (Iron/Metal Cloth) i wanna purchased doesn't have XD

Been using for half month for this Metal Cloth and the surface until now still silky and smooth.
Sometime i just like to "ski" my finger on the screen when working/thinking (blank)
*
From my own experience , this metal cloth 3D hot bend silky and smoothness feeling can tahan at least up to 6 month , after entering 3rd - 4th month , it will start showing micro scratch , but wont effect the smoothness of it. I never try to use a screen protector for a year so i can't really tell what the exactly time frame before it feel un-smooth. Maybe u have to try to use it for over 6 month and let us know again weather the coating stil smooth or not biggrin.gif

By the way , i just order the 3D冷碉 for my android , if its good then i might try to grab for iphone too. biggrin.gif

You need to click on the part I circle, but it’s not always available. Additionally, you must make a minimum purchase of ¥199.

Also, ensure that you are selecting Malaysia rather than the others country to entitle for these benefits.

But sometime not every item listed as "Malaysian 199 free shipping" sad.gif , most of the time those 199 free shipping seller also price a little expensive doh.gif

But ice carve is weaker than heat-bending i thought?
Unless the model doesn't have heat-bending then boh bian  sweat.gif

Normal usage of my TG are more than years until i change phone also can happen biggrin.gif
Under cart there can see which items entitle with the "green sentence"
And not all item entitle for the 199 yuan free shipping, like iron cloth products ngam ngam falls under "not entitle"  sweat.gif

3D ice carve is the edge not as curve and smooth as 3D hot-bending , its not about weaker , some claim that if u use the phone naked , 3D Hot-bending can feel the smoothness of edge , while 3D Ice curve will feel the "sharpness" at the edge , but if use with case , then the "sharp" feel will gone ,

so now let me experience first and will let u know again biggrin.gif , because the price just cheaper by half than the 3D hot-bending , i keep on hunting if there is more cheaper option with about the same quality , that my job tongue.gif

But ice carve doesnt come with AR coating which is sad sad.gif

Been an auditor so i long long time banned telco contract unless all benefit considered.

So far the CelcomDigi One Ultra/Pro plan still in my radar cause this plan really good with fibre and family plan included + good discounted price on phone.
* Except don't expect Day 1 received launch phone  sweat.gif
*
If u are using Unifi and already over the period of contract (mostly after 2year) , plenty of agent now doing offer , either u switch to maxis/celcom broadband , or stay with unifi package with super good offer and free gift.

Before this my unifi was 300mbps with Rm129 monthly + celcom postpaid RM99 x2 me & wife RM198 , so total monthly rm327.

Last year i got Internet broadband ads thru facebook , then i pm the agent , i choose to stay with Unifi , i got the new package which is 100mbps with RM99 monthly BUT FREE UPGRADED to 300mbps (so pay rm99 get 300mbps) , and it come with additional of 6 month waive bill laugh.gif , 2 year contract. I pay him RM150 for the processing fees (If i choose jumpship to maxis , that rm150 fees can be waive).

user posted image


Then i downgrade to Celcom postpaid 5G 40 SE, now i paying my bill + wife (Rm40+RM40) with RM99 unifi monthly with total Rm179 only laugh.gif and not to mention i save RM99 x 6 month (RM594 - processing fees RM150 = RM444) laugh.gif


That the reason why i never go for telco contract and directly get from Auth store to get 0% installment. Unless your phone bill pay by company , then it will be worth.


But 1 thing i feel weird is , after downgrade to Celcom 5G 40 SE , the google show that it cap at 100mbps , but i always get 200-400mbps download speed laugh.gif

laugh.gif I'm paying RM 90 for 500Mbps and no processing fees. laugh.gif I was paying RM 129 for 500Mbps since 2018. Then, saw Astro ad can get RM 90 for 500Mbps with my package, I applied via Astro and UniFi called to counter-offer me. Then, SWU 5.0 was born and now tons of people on the UniFi thread are benefited and switched to SWU 5.0 with just a simple "termination" via the app.

Anyway, not worth to tie with high price contract these days.

Wow that is great deal , rm90 for 500mbps is even cheaper than my monthly 😅 , let wait after 2 year will have better deal or not laugh.gif

I do agree , totally not worth to tie with telco contract anymore unless ur bill paying by the company.

Just test the 3d ice carve on my android phone , stil cant beat 3d hot bending , without the tech of hot-bending, they just cant make 100% full coverage, but price wise, it so much cheaper than the 3d hot bend (50++rmb for 2pcs) , really once guna 3D HB , other type of temp glass just feel not good tongue.gif , definitely can feel there is a glass on top of your screen vs 3D HB which is like invisible laugh.gif

Fast charging doesn't kill much battery , but 30-80% charging method definitely will improve more than fast charging.

Don’t charge when phone is hot. MagSafe/wireless charging when it’s hot will kill battery.

From experience using n5 oppo, silicon ion battery is impressive. I stay above 20% but charge 100% and ultra fast charging. Battery still good. Almost 7-8 months ish. Don’t need proprietary charger..

Apple need to switch over battery tech
*
Me too never using any wireless charging , it cause too much of heat and degrade battery faster.

Apple will using silicon carb 1 day, they will be forced to use because all factory will only supply silicone carb that time laugh.gif

Like the iphone 17 forced to use 120hz because alot of factory already discontinued 60hz screen tongue.gif
