I'm either first or 2nd pre-order customer at the Store since I completed my in-store pre-order at 8:02pm. Looking forward to sell my 15PM finally since 16PM was lackluster biggrin.gif
Never use a screen protector or case since Iphone 3GS so not gonna start now. I want to be able to see that sexy bright orange in my hands. Quite pissed that Malaysia version doesn't have an e-sim only version as I am an e-sim user and prefers the larger battery for a 39 hours total battery life that was marketed but alas now my 17PM can only lasts for 33 hours I guess since I confirmed it with the staff yesterday that we are not getting the e-sim only version such a buzzkill damn

anyone using naked phone? i didn't buy apple care and have been using naked 16 pro max for quite some time.

best feeling ever. but touch wood if kena hentam or cracked then need to buy a new one. if u have budget i think good to use naked phone.

My phone has been naked ever since my Iphone 3GS lol never got into all this fiasco of paying extra for a tempered glass & a case as I bought the phone for the color and the beautiful screen with all the coating apple have placed on it. Such a waste to hide its form and function which is why I always go naked

Haha, yeah, I got the same text from UOB too. Next year I will also get from dealer - but I think it’ll be a more muted affair next year since they just had a major redesign this year. Should be plenty of stocks to go around laugh.gif
I’m good! Haha.. ohh, you changed to a Hotlink plan. I have a sub line going for a family member so that’s not an option for me. Was on the 139 plan for the past couple of years but will switch to 109 this round with a new maxis contract. Yeah, haven’t preordered but waiting for maxis to give me a call coz I just placed an ROI directly with them. Couldn’t preorder coz I plan to trade in my older 15 Pro Max to offset the device price - they’ve offered the best trade in value for it so far.
Hehe, I use this for my iPad too - it’s great! RM30 for a year validity and RM10 for 5GB that’s good for up to a year smile.gif
*
Is the trade in value 2725 or?

Tempted to install beta version but in the end of the days decided to just wait for official version, now few days to go for official version

Watched lots of videos bout ios26 thru tiktok, im amazed and love everything bout it
*
Yeah I'm on the final build now before official Release. I don't think I can ever go back to ios18 anymore after experiencing Liquid Glass and all of its enhancements during make me forget about getting a pixel as my 2nd phone due to that beautiful UI and premium OS feeling that ios26 brings to the table. I am reminded again of how awestruck I was back during the Iphone 3GS Release and that same feeling of holding that phone for the very first time is back here with ios26. Also that adaptive power mode truly does bring an extra hours of battery life for my 15PM when ios18 was sucking my battery juice out like there's no tomorrow bangwall.gif

Yeah been using sapphire on ip14pro almost 3 years, not a single scratch only that the coating already wear off and become finger print magnet, using coating oil to make it clean and smooth again
*
Any recommended coating oil to use (grok told me nanoguard/fusso have the coating oil) or service store where I can get a guy/girl to replace the coating on the screen for me every few months or as needed since my 15PM now keeps on being sticky with grease like substance despite me wiping it with a slightly damp microfiber cloth and yet it is still dirty. Makes me go crazy at how dirty the screen feels but it looks clean to the naked eye and zero surface scratches but when viewed under intense lighting or using spotlight can see all the micro scratches that are present on the screen

Bought this for my 17PM. Probably the best stand I have ever experienced yet coz I had their snap-on wallet terrible build quality only lasted me less than 2 years of wear & tear. It became floozy like it couldn't support the heavy 15PM anymore without a case mind you as I don't use either a case or screen protector for my Iphone and the wallet skin also peeled off making it look very ugly ranting.gif

By far machines and apple store offer the best trade in price

I opt for machine because can pay with points with maybank treats

Unfortunately because i trade in i couldn't get maybank RM200 discount + 100 accessories

Just walk in and preorder and surprisingly they say can collect on Sept 19 itself
*
yeah but apple or machine only allow trade-in by purchasing the new device whereas I just wanted to trade-in for cash

You are right indeed. Yeah those features are a must upgrade for me if it was locked behind a new device let's say. It's good that was not the case here rclxms.gif
I sincerely hope the battery life of my 17PM will be a lot better than the mediocre battery life I got from my 15PM. Charged to 80% at 10am by 3PM after constant use without camera or video usage down to 50% already after navigation & Apple music being utilized with constant whatsapp and safari browsing. Don't know how le to last till 10pm since I never carry a power bank lol just relying completely on my car's qi wireless slow speed charge every time I'm in the car

QUOTE(soitsuagain @ Sep 13 2025, 11:59 PM)
With the iPhone 17 almost nobody takes the 17 pro. The camp is between the 17 and the 17 pro max lol...

I find it odd when people opt for 17 but almost nobody thinks that telephoto, sound recording, and usb 3.2 transfer speeds as substantial enough for the pro camp on the 6.3" screen size
*
I'm in the camp of Bigger means Better. I'm hyped for the bigger screen as I feel 15PM not having enough screen size to satisfy me cool2.gif
Was actually hoping 17PM to be 7inches but alas that was not the case cry.gif

QUOTE(lkm51 @ Sep 14 2025, 02:05 AM)

Currently U Mobile centre, I will check out those other recommendations given from the posts above. Need to sell my 15PM to the highest taker basically since mine is in perfect condition never drop & zero hard surface scratches rclxm9.gif

Same here my 15PM have zero scratches either on the camera lens or on the glass back as I don't use a case or any screen protector

QUOTE(GamersFamilia @ Sep 14 2025, 05:32 AM)
Yes, as of now stick to my 16 pro max due to newly bought on april 2025, so no point to upgrade plus ios26 coming in few days make it more and feel lots better, from now slowly funding for 18 pro max next year 😎
*
haha that's the same case I had when I bought my 15PM in March 2023 as well, truly nothing that 16PM has that requires me to make the jump since Apple have been lazy for many years now kept on being no innovation sadly until the moment I saw the leak photos of the Cosmic Orange and I fell in love immediately. Not liking all those stale colors of black, silver and white that we had for so long now Pro Max variants looks so enticing and sexy. If I am spending more than RM5k++ on a phone might as well make it a head turner as I don't like cases and I don't like screen protectors so I want the best color to show that very expensive phone with that expensive display cool2.gif

Lucky you, all I got from my pre-order Centre is a confirmation email with no date whatsoever & a quick check through my order history in the carrier's app gives me the zero order made status when I clearly walked in at 8PM on Friday and signed the purchase form for the pre-order. The staff told me they will provide me with the consignment number once they receive it and I can pick it up at their store when it arrives. On that note anyone here had this same experience when opting for in-store pickup from carrier centre last year with the Iphone 16? Did you get it on day one released or was it delayed?

Haha. My sister only has one child. tongue.gif But she’s a teenager already, to me so long she’s not asking her mom to get the latest model, that’s considered good enough.

16P/PM overheating? Not that I’m aware about.

My transparent casing doesn’t have the ring but it claims to be thin enough that it can use wireless charging directly. Let’s see.
*
15PM overheating like mad, refuses to charge when under direct sunlight in the car on a wireless charger if the back of the phone is too hot and unfortunately most of the time it is. So I can't wait for my 17PM to get here and fully transfer everything into the new phone and be rid of the bad thermal performance of the 15PM once and for all ranting.gif

Well I just got off with the CS and they told me pre-order customers will only be contacted on the 19th onwards for collection, there will be no further status update unlike when purchase from other retailers. They told me to expect delivery to the Centre to be within 14 days means I'm out of the launch day pick-up gang ranting.gif

My friend has a 16PM his battery life and heat seems to be worser than my 15PM, glad I didn't upgrade last year. I have heard similar experiences from outside my circle as well, you just might be in the minority

I have been using and will be using the Mcdodo 120W PD fast charger. Charges my 15PM so quick that it actually makes a difference

QUOTE(Syok Your Mom @ Sep 14 2025, 04:20 PM)
The Pro Max how many minutes to charge from 0 to 100% ?

Anyone knows?
*
I heard it's twice the speed of 15PM so if my 15PM currently charges from 0 to 100% in 1hour 30 minutes but I always charge my phone when it hits 30% to 80% or 90% max only anyway that means it might be possible for 17PM to charge in just 1hour 10 mins to full

Maybe 17 Pro is the new middle child, that dubious honour that was once belonging to the plus phones laugh.gif Actually if size and handling isn’t a big issue, it makes sense to just get the Pro Max.
There’s a maxis app called Maxis Trade In. Download that and it’ll offer you step by step instructions

Thanks, adding the new recommendation to the list of places I have to go to to get my 15PM valued. I had a feeling RM3,075 for a 512Gb 15PM I have been offered with is still on the low end of the spectrum

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Sep 14 2025, 05:14 PM)
I think there is a rogue app that is draining battery on your phone making it heat up as well. I have no issues with my 15Pm being used by a closed family member. Or you could be using a very bulky type of casing that is preventing ventilation of the phone. Btw not recommended to charge your phone under direct sunlight and the phone will stop charging once the phone reaches certain temperature.
*
Where is this rogue app you mentioned? Mind you, the battery status shown here is with very less usage of the phone today due to I am on my desktop PC most of the time. Also I have never or will ever use any phone cases. Heck, I don't even put a screen protector on as I find all these things hiding the beauty of my 15PM. I mean I'm not purposely charging it under the sun it's just when I am driving the sun will hit the wireless charger area
