Ok, I caved in. Just pre-ordered from Machines store the 17pm 256gb blue color. ETA collection is on 19th onwards but have to wait for email notification. Used the mbb promo $200 instant rebate. I also got $100 accessories voucher (claimable any Machines outlet) and $30 voucher (from the same outlet only).
Overall, it’s a fairly good deal.

Let’s say I pay deposit using UOB. But pay balance using maybank on collection, got rebate still?

I doubt so as need to use mbb card to get the instant $200 rebate upon payment. First come first serve to get the offer, I guess.

At first, the sales lady couldn’t check if the mbb rebate is still available from their system. She had to key in my order and then upon payment, she can check if mbb rebate is available. If the offer not there, she can opt not to swipe my mbb card (at least, that’s what she said).

A very good deal! The lesson is the better deals come to those who wait but I never learn, haha…
I’m guessing they make very limited amounts of 2TB ones? Anyway, blue’s not a bad color if it means no waiting laugh.gif
Hello old friend! Was waiting for you to appear here so we can have our annual “reunion” of sorts, haha. You stopped getting your iPhones from maxis already?
*
Yup, I’m back. Hehe. I stopped buying from maxis long time already. Using Hotlink pantas plan which suits me just fine.

How are you? Bought your iPhone already?

yea im going to downgrade my maxis 139 postpaid plan too, looking for alternatives.. care to share how much are you paying for hotlink and what you get from this pantas plan?
*
I pay $30 for one year validity. Then I buy the data as and when needed. Sometimes buy $10 for 5gb one year. Another time buy $10-15 for monthly data if I’m outside. Usually, I use Wi-Fi to surf.

If I want postpaid (don’t see the need yet), I’d rather get the maxis business plan $79 for my personal use. I sometime see maxis ppl setup booth at my company lobby. Offer seems quite good.

Hi all, I have an extra IP 16 Pro Max Screen Protector, can it fit the IP 17 Pro Max? I see that the screen size seems to be the same

I have the same question also. I did google and Gemini AI said can’t fit. Anyway, I’ll know when I get the phone.

Received an email with QR code too, can collect as early as 8AM. There's an event for those who collect, .maybe bundle up with some tempered glass or casings at discounted price..

Nice. I’m still waiting notification from Machines.

Ordered Ringke silicon black case for casual / temp use. For sp, I want to try use the 16pm as I have two spares. Skipping on the camera lens protector. First time being so “lazy” on getting the accessories.

I didnt order any casings early this year, learning from the past, they will throw out promos and discounts for casings and tempered glass on launch day during collection..I remember they even slash half price for panzer glass and some casings..
*
That’s nice. I prefer my case to be fully covered (camera button and that plateau) and with MagSafe. Not sure if Machines have those cases now. Went to pyramid yday and they only had Apple and Beats cases. Switch had other brands. Will have to see when I collect my phone.

Just collected the phone. I’m the only one there. According to the sales team, popular colors are orange and blue. They have very limited walk in stock and mostly the air.

Max trade in price for the 16pm 256gb is $3.2k. I think I’ll check out switch tomorrow or else trx. Quite keen on the air.

Has anyone else trade-in their iPhone 16pm at Switch Pyramid event this weekend? How was it? Other than those who have the info posted earlier.

May drop by tomorrow or opt for Apple Store.

Got some stocks at switch pyramid. The sales guy said got one more 17pm 256gb orange. But i think may be sold already as got some ppl there. Not crowded though.

The listed trade-in price seems low even with $400 over trade. Better to just get from Apple Store.

I bought some accessories such as lens protector, dust protector and extra sp from Smartdevil. Want to be more careful on the blue color phone.

Other than that, I want to opt for Apple purchase & trade in next year. Good description by fruitie on the process.

Regarding on Smart Devil, make sure your SP is correct in 3D types
And the quality of the lens protector feels bad sad.gif
Gonna return the purchase.
Ouch for iP16 user sad.gif
But at least the trade in value still there if they wanna upgrade

Most pity probably iP15 , cannot Apple AI (if there is a proper one ever)

Is it? Let me check when I get them. Thanks for the info.
