Guess we are on the same boat.. frustrating isnt it 😒😞

My guess is it depends on the pickup point u choose..

TRX store seems to be the fastest, maybe due to its proximity to Apple store
*
Keeps getting delayed. Where is your store pick up centre?

Hey guys, been a silent reader.

Decided to give Torras Q3 Air a try.

Ordered from Shopee torras which has shopeemall tag, is this legit though? The packaging and box came in mandarin letters.

I have attached an image of it… not sure if I want to return it or whether can return or not…

For anyone using torras q3, does the camera button work for zooming?
*
How much did you bought it? I also purchase Torras case too.

My bro faced the same problem, has a very minor cosmetic defect on the body (actually you won’t see it if you don’t look closely). We asked for replacement unit, Maxis said can but they will have to first return the device to their HQ and join the waiting list again (in a month). They claimed they can’t give us another replacement unit on the spot as all customer are linked to the IMEI of the phone. This is Maxis in TRX.

We asked about the warranty by Apple, Apple Store apparently doesn’t cover very minor cosmetic defect. So, the only way is to return to Maxis and they’ll issue us another unit, but have to wait… (we took the unit in the end).

TLDR: So, you shouldn’t take the unit and just give it back to Maxis. Ask them to get you a replacement unit. They have a process for that.
*
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.

A smudge, unable to rub it off. Mine is silver, so ya, it's obvious on the white glass.

I know some people would say, slap a case on it and can't see dy. But the feeling of knowing it's there...

You mean the back glass having smudge that can’t be clean off?

It shouldn't be too hard to change the IMEI? I bought mine through Normal Contract, so the phone is unlocked.

Probably with very limited stock and fulfillment for all po customer, they don’t want to do replacement procedure unless is dead on arrival units. I remember there was a time iPhone having display tint colour defect.

Not going to! My mind is put at ease already hehe.
Thank you! Put my mind at ease. Using it now. Loved the texture and rubber feeling.

I was using a case from imade, transparent, but had too many ppl asking me about the phone so I swapped to techwoven, green. And then I didn’t like the fact that I read over here and other places about how it’s not protective and will sometimes fall off the phone when it drops.. not that I drop it often but that actually put me off from using the case.

So went and bought torras. Was gunning for the black one but it went out of stock, saw some reviews about how the glacial blue looks, kinda grew into it, and snapped it up. Loving it since, although I had my doubts about the dubious packaging but it’s all gone now!
Haha try it, kinda nice. Feels slim at the sides compared to techwoven abit square-ish. I prefer torras! But not sure if it’s just a novelty thing for me.. my techwoven is back in the box! So I’ll just swap it out again if i want.. but I do worry if constant removing and putting the case on off will cause scratches or damage the buttons.. hah
How much did you get yours? Mine was around 318 after vouchers and discounts. I got it off Shopee. It was next day delivery.

I was deciding between Shopee or web site, but I read that it takes up to 2-3 weeks for it to arrive.. and I don’t have the patience for it lol. But it is cheaper to order from web site I think about 80 ringgit difference. Don’t regret it though! It’s so lovely.

Black smudge near Apple logo, a bit hard to capture on camera, but pretty obvious in person.

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.

Actually you can consider other GaN charger which have 65W, 100W or even 320W since you can have more type c port to charge other power hungry devices.

Already got the gan 65w usb c charger, sinced ive read at some of the websites mentioned bout the 40w dynamic power adapter so search it thru shopee end up only one seller selling it
*
Then your GaN charger 65W should able to pull 40W for your iPhone 17 pro max. I’ve tested my Ugreen GaN 65W able to pull 35W PD which I suppose it could max out 40W when battery at very low percentage.

I guess if 4x4 owners especially the new Triton Athlete orange colour looks exactly like iPhone 17 Pro cosmic orange. I wonder did Apple got the inspiration of orange colour from Mitsubishi Triton.

Ya, last time when I get from telco I always make sure the staff there open it up and I check for defects before they even start registering my plan on the phone. Cause once they did, it is a nightmare to return. However after I got from Lazada authorized reseller and now Apple Store I don't really worry about defects that much.
*
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 🙄
