Walk in to Sunway Pyramid's Switch for this at 8am today  laugh.gif
Quite a lot of good bundles and promos available. Not as much crowd.
Now got to get rid of the Silver Pro 512gb that's gonna get ship out from Apple soon. Let me know if anyone interested.  sweat.gif

Hi guys my status been updated to this since yesterday, may i know will i get it before the expected delivery date?

apple delivery is on point. It says 24/9 means that’s the date. Unlikely to shift earlier and so far never seen it was later.

Can I walk in to Apple TRX or have to ship it back to them?
*
Ship it back via POS Malaysia. Very convenient, either you schedule someone to come to your house to collect or you drop off Pos Malaysia outlet.

No drop in to Apple TRX.

Ohh that's convenient. Thanks for the info. Will contact them to start the refund process once I receive it.
Walk in. There was not much of a queue for walk in, maybe 12-13 people in total at 8am. But their stock was very limited.
Not sure if still got stock now as it was very limited this morning.

U would get an email on return from Apple.

QUOTE(shah_allstyle @ Sep 19 2025, 11:40 AM)
I straight surrender, they never mention can bring home for few days and surrender later. Restore at home, now still restoring process (restore from mac) since 11am.
*
Why restore from Mac? iTunes restore way is really outdated and slow. If from an iPhone, do a side by side iPhone transfer.

I think they (remobie staff) got mention about 3 days but not that clear plus quite crowded, hot and small venue. Then decide do reset with switch staff and unboxing with them.
Can utilize usb3.2 right? I have the cable and trying to test it. I afraid side by side will take more time since i have to do at the event space. It took me 40 minutes to complete the restoration now downloading remaining apps. Ok right 40 minutes or side by side much faster? Previous storage was 150gb.
So far TMT offered the best price for TechWoveen which is rm159.
*
Thanks. On usb3.2, iPhone 17 series support la. Your older iPhone doesn’t. Try out side by side transfer. Then consider cable.

QUOTE(direct707 @ Sep 19 2025, 12:30 PM)
Where to walk in for stock today? 17pm. 512gb or 1tb.

So I've concluded the best colour combo for me are these 3...the tech woven is surprisingly sturdy compared to last year's fine woven..

Brown looks best with orange. I heard someone ask for blue case for orange. The Apple guy say, what??? U serious….

Done setup new phone. Just do transfer from old to new iPhone and it took about 10 minutes.  Then activate eSIM on new phone and setup banking apps.  So far what failed is WhatsApp backup on iCloud kept failing so I can’t restore all my chat to new phone, taking this as an opportunity to clean up the junk in WhatsApp la.

We round down here…..


UPDATE:

1) Gonna miss titanium frame. So nice and smooth to feel. I’m caressing for next few days until I return 16PM.

2) The aluminum frame feels like iPhone 6 days. Doesn’t feel like 12-13PM time.

3) All my credit cards for Apple Pay (still can’t configure). Select do it later. (SCB and MBB)


Migration continues, 250GB ++, initial screen says 3 hours, now showing 1 hour. Good sign I suppose.

So how would u rank the titanium, aluminum and stainless steel series? I've got no idea since i skipped the entire titanium lineup lol.

Now u said it, it does feel alot like the iphone 6/6+ sides
*
If you ask me, touch and feel wise. Titanium > aluminum > steel.
Steel feels like our kitchen water tap steel. No richness, premium, atas feel.


Even if you see Silver, the color is iPhone 6 series white. Then the two tone, is AirPod White. That’s Silver color already.

Apple lied. Only oracle and blueberry is two tone. Silver is two color!!!. I thought two tone means like two shades of color, like one darker and one lighter.

Funny interaction, Apple Store guy ask me… he wont buy iPhone so fast, will wait couple of months first. I ask why? he said in case got any early batch issues. I said you not supposed to say that to me!!!

Ask me wanna buy crossbody sling or not. I said it’s RM299!!! Cause I saw the Tech woven case, it’s good. Got the blue case.


My honest opinion on colors for Pro Max.

1) Silver - IPhone 6 series white, with AirPod white patch. It’s not ugly. Nostalgic feeling if you had iPhone 6 white before.
2) Orange - punch in your face color. in Apple Store, can hear either two camps - not bright enough or damn, it’s bright. I think it’s lighting angle.
3) Deepblue - mystery color. You tilt the phone at different angles, different blue hues.

UPDATE on migration: 45 mins to go. Longest 1 hour ever.

Those that havent purchase silver and are on the fence about it...suggest see it in person 1stĀ  thumbsup.gif

ā€œSurgical grade steelā€ is just a term I guess. it is smooth surface. 3 colors also good la, wont go wrong.

QUOTE(fruitie @ Sep 19 2025, 03:43 PM)
Now I kinda like blue. laugh.gif

Also why iPhone is contracted to GDEX while iPad is still DHL? I got my iPad Mini and Apple Watch all via DHL. hmm.gif
*
U ah… every year same. Go for color of the year, then see other color, then say u ā€œkinda like itā€. tongue.gif

My friend told me (he works logistics industry), GDEX is contracted to deliver for Apple MY in-country warehouse where DHL is for end to end shipment from China.

don’t know he is BS or not. Anyone order from Apple Store, do share which courier assigned.

Probably true. Titanium or stainless steel, then u avoid scratches, dents. Aluminum, if back to my experience with iPhone 6 series, scratches off paint easily.

Better wear underwear and socks to protect it. biggrin.gif

You can try using cable to connect both phones using the usb C cable to do the restore (If both usb C iPhone).

How long did you queue until you got your phone? Want to budget time when I go collect later

Depends the time you go. I went 1.45pm to 2pm slot. Queue 1.45pm, went out 1.52pm. That is including buying a case.

My friend went 9am, took 30 mins. guess you just budget 30 mins.
