I tried my best, emailed and spoke to Apple’s senior customer service high ups, maxis still reject. Apple told me they can’t do anything with third party, I sent pics etc and he said this is a small and easy job if I bought it from Authorised resellers, just a call to the manager and he will get it replaced for me…ever since then, good bye telco contracts (plus the fact that it’s crap to pay 100+ and tied 2 years, all for a 1k+ subsidized price lol)

Thanks for sharing this. Fortunately, I haven’t taken a contract phone recently.

I believe everyone should be aware of this issue, especially if the phone you receive has a cosmetic issue.

Telco’s need to up their game and be more competitive, the subsidized price is no longer attractive + the fact that we need to be tied 2 years contract. At least the authorised resellers have up their game by throwing in freebies and credit card rebates.

Take 17 pro max 256gb as an example, if get from maxis I think the subsidized is only RM1,1xx. But they force you to take 119 x 24 months. Non contract can go 40-50/month (if 40/ month means 119-40 =you are paying an additional of 79/month x2mths = RM1,896. You are literally paying 700 bucks more. Plus the waiting time for stocks, no exchange even open box on the spot with cosmetic defect, at least authorised resellers change 1:1 if you open on spot with defects.
*
Agreed, at the very least, they need to allow for exchanges if any issues arise.

For stock availability, they should get prioritize from Apple.

I found out that 256GB version using an older NAND
512GB above using new faster NAND.

Although this does not affect overall usage.

I believe Apple has always done this, at least as far as I know, it started with the iPhone 15 series.

Walked pass ninjaz and magnet in to check out their casings..and sigh grabbed some BlueO alcheapo casings for no exact reason sad.gif

Really like the white one, not bulky, feels light and good (about the same as Moft’s vegan leather feel), clicky buttons and inner buttons are covered with soft material to avoid scratches

Clear case is thin and buttons are clicky, normally gel/plastic type buttons are hard to press but this one is designed thinner I think..camera control button is exposed though

If you like TPU clear case & okay with the incoming yellowish issue.. wanna try this casetify impact case..

Impact case

Ripple looks nice too

Casetify cases aren’t that good. They don’t last as long and aren’t very drop-proof.

If you’re not interested in their fancy artwork, I don’t recommend buying their case. There’s no reason to spend that much money on it.

Just curious i see many posting here, many opt for the silver or orange, as not many opted for the deep blue. i just bought deep blue at 11.11 lazada sales, which is the only unit available in that specs and able to stack with vouchers, having a hard time here looking thru what cases should i apply and did i actually bought the wrong color? i was sway by the voucher stack deal at that time. convincing myself i will eventually get use to it and hopefully wont get alot of scratches ><
*
Color choice is the own preferred. ☺️

Deep blue is my second favorite color actually, but many people don’t pick it probably due to it’s very noticeable on scratches or dirt. Additionally, in my opinion I find it a bit harder to match the case color than cosmic orange because this deep blue actually looks slightly purplish, which makes it harder to match the case color.

Yeah nice and quite minimalist. The camera and hole too close, if put on and take off frequently might scratch the aluminum part. 🤣
I aimed since day one ip7 launched. Have good experience with sheath for i6p last year.

There is discussion on Reddit. Seems their cs might not entertain on this issue. I bought from authorized reseller, hope can get good news tomorrow.

Had case issue with rhinoshield last year, after couple of emails they agreed to send new one. Kudos to rhinoshield.

Yup, the Caudabe case is very good. The PM seems to be delayed, and I hope it gets fixed for any issues.

Seller said mine is latest batch but imo still same.

The yellow one reveals the body color. Blue one is acceptable because closer to speaker area. However, the red one seems too much lifted. By the way, the seller acknowledged the defect, so I’m going to return it and get a refund.

It’s a good deal, but remember the words “onwards.” It’s after November 12th.

Nowadays, I’ve also noticed that Lazada or Shopee sellers can simply extend the estimated delivery date before the due date, especially for preorder item.

Many people post on XHS saying they haven’t received their stock and wait longer than usual. You can’t complain because it says “onwards.”

Only get it if you can wait. ☺️
