QUOTE(Lego Warfare @ Sep 15 2025, 11:15 PM) Well majority will be using a case so it won't matter as much.. but some like me like to use clear cases so we can't hide that crap  The silver since having a stainless steel frame has always have an accentuated two tone color. Only now is it a half half. I also ordered a clear case. I think you will grow to love it. Otherwise it looks no different than an iPhone 7.

QUOTE(Lego Warfare @ Sep 16 2025, 09:47 AM) I have no problem with having 2 tone colors if done right. The 17 pro however looks out of place and awkward with the 2nd tone being an obtrusive rectangular patch instead of blending in seamlessly with the phone. Hopefully the 18 pro won’t look anything like this… I am not so sure though. The glass part have always been like that. It only looks quite bad if u look at 90 degrees down or phone face down and people sitting at a table next to you. I have look at a few reviews video the two tone is quite stunning. But ya I feel you, worse come to worst, there’s still a matte back clear case. But ya if that still don’t work out it is literally bye bye to transparent casing for the life of the phone

QUOTE(prabjit93 @ Sep 16 2025, 01:49 PM) Any update on Lazada? As of 12th September seller is preparing your order Lazada will always get it punctual. I used to get mine all from Lazada but this time I get pickup from Apple store.

QUOTE(Sasaki_Touka @ Sep 16 2025, 03:51 PM)  Even after 3 days of hard work deleting files, photos & videos I still couldn't reach the target of having less than 100GB before my 17PM arrival. I am beginning to think that not even 512GB is enough for my usage anymore Damn your WhatsApp is so bloated. I will normally just erased all under each chat group or personal chat videos and pictures. If you have set auto download to gallery and then auto sync to any cloud storage, you don’t have to keep it all in WhatsApp anymore.

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.

QUOTE(Sasaki_Touka @ Sep 16 2025, 05:35 PM) Not out of stock here as well meh? Yeah I'm gonna be spending some time today & tomorrow to go through those files but I doubt can clear much since most of it is from work  The 17 pro still got plenty. Over here just love big phones

QUOTE(fruitie @ Sep 16 2025, 06:08 PM) Thinking I will need to setup/transfer everything again on Friday just demotivates me.  Some banks require to go to ATMs to complete the app transfer. Maybank need that too. I hardly use my atm card these days. Anyway at least I will have high confidence that my new phone won’t give me any problems cause I will be in China for 30 days next month. Since everything there is cashless, there is no fallback. Also, it is an absolute must to get a China sim with sms to activate Weixin Pay right?

QUOTE(fruitie @ Sep 16 2025, 06:46 PM) MBB and RHB need. OT: No, you don’t need a China SIM to activate WeChat Pay in China. If you can understand Chinese, this is the link for you: http://xhslink.com/m/5QLRMVFMRV3Wow thank you thank you. I finally got it enabled. My friend always told me to select wallet region but I never see it and always got stuck from there. This guide help me solved the missing step. We can’t topup to balance or is it pending approval?

QUOTE(fruitie @ Sep 16 2025, 09:06 PM) Cannot top up, can only top up with China debit card. Just link from credit cards and pay directly from credit cards. However, like Alipay if above RMB 200 need to pay 3% service charge, some shops allow you to split transactions. 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. But I also signed up for wise. Don’t like cc exchange rates else would prefer AMEX straight up lol

For anyone who bought silver that suddenly took note of the distinct two tone and was displease with it I think for pick up you can still cancel after checking out the demo set. Don’t regret later ya…. after have to wait lagi long… Anyway 3 more days to a sea of new oranges phones….

QUOTE(jimmylim85 @ Sep 17 2025, 12:28 PM) Nice… but without the magnetic is it alright? Considering Torras QPro but Q3 Air caught my eye for very good protection but the price tag RM 300 😅 If you buy the magnetic powerbank, it will charged through any cases as long as the magnets can carry either weight.

QUOTE(fruitie @ Sep 17 2025, 07:05 PM) Hmm. Maybe soon kot.  Nothing interesting la. I just got them by the way.   A Torras clear case, two pieces of screen protector and two pieces of camera button protector.  Wow this is fast. My China casing is still stuck at customs. But nvm I also got another from a local warehouse arriving tomorrow.

QUOTE(vin39 @ Sep 17 2025, 09:17 PM) Same case with me. Ordered the orange but now I want the blue. Contacted Apple but they say cant change now. Need to cancel and reorder. But if reorder surely cant pickup on 19th Sept. Just cancel and reorder elsewhere. It doesn’t matter how late you get but you’re gonna use it for a looong time and if u don’t like the color is total nightmare!!!

Hmmmm Stage 0: Apple event Stage 1: preorder excitement and choose the best color Stage 2: Preorder delivery excitement Stage 3: Accessories madness Stage 4: Display unit made by LG or Samsung Stage 5: Battery % Stage 6: September Apple event and cycle repeats Stage 0.5: check back later for availability with zero news when it will be available 🤣🤣🤣 It was gruesome having experience it once. I am happy I don’t have to go through that this time around

QUOTE(Sasaki_Touka @ Sep 18 2025, 11:32 AM) It seems all hope is lost for UM pre-order customers. Zero calls, zero updates, zero sms, zero emails and CS kept telling us that pre-order customers will ONLY be contacted from the 19th onwards with delivery or pick-up arrangement to be done within 2 weeks from tomorrow. Guess we are off the day one get list  Sad to hear that bro. Apple store on my side doesn’t give me any updates but my cc is already charged on the 13th. Besides it’s still largely available to order now there is no mistake ☺️
