QUOTE(darkwaka @ Sep 15 2025, 08:30 PM) Just PO 17PM 521gb from maxis and estimate collection date is 29.09.2025 onwards Maxis offering Rm5839 for the iphone and 24 months contract, phone i need to pay my self but phone bill will be pay by company So i actually save rm1160 from the purchase Seems like this year iPhone in Malaysia under telco contract have reduce a lot for the discounts. If you compared with iPhone 16 Pro Max 512GB from maxis 24 months normal contract is rm 5235 (retail price 6999) you save rm 1764 versus this year rm 1160 there is a reduction of Rm 604.

QUOTE(Sasaki_Touka @ Sep 16 2025, 12:49 PM) I did not receive anything else either however I contacted the CS Centre and they told me for pre-orders they will be contacting the customers on 19th itself to arrange for the date to pick-up at the store within 2 weeks. I really don't know what's the point of UM following the 8PM on the 12th timeline if confirmed first few pre-order customers like us are not getting it day one on release  Was hyped before after watching the keynote and finding out that it still has the same chip as my Airpods Pro 2. I'm out  The only benefit you’re really getting the AP3 over AP2 is extra 2 hours listening with ANC. Live translation works on AP2.

QUOTE(darkwaka @ Sep 16 2025, 12:02 PM) Maybe be due to high demand on pre-oder they reduce the discount price and when 6 months later they give better discount Doubt maxis does that. They stick the price for a year before new phone launch. High probability is lots of ex stock of iPhone 16 pro max. Maxis is trying to sell off the 16 series but not reducing its price making it looks cheaper alternative towards iPhone 17 pro max.

Any Torras case buyers? Albeit pricey than spigen and ringke but the design from Torras seems excellent. What do you guys think?

QUOTE(fruitie @ Sep 17 2025, 03:16 AM) I just bought one. I used to have one when I was using 15PM but that was heavy. The one I just got supposedly to be lighter and thinner, I should receive it later today. Fingers crossed. I bought from Taobao. In terms of of quality, it’s pretty good I must say. Which model of Torras did you purchase? Do share with us the photo.

QUOTE(fruitie @ Sep 17 2025, 10:24 AM) I bought this.  Yes, since last year. I don’t know if can use credit cards but I used debit (ATM) card. 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 😅

I po from maxis and after payment done, they send me sms & email with order number but they put there estimate collection date 29.09.2025 onward Probably your PO is done after the first batch of collection point 19th Sept. Have to wait till 29th Sept onwards and base on availability stock. Did you choose self pickup at maxis centre? You can get maxis freebies and discounted accessories.

QUOTE(privatequity @ Sep 17 2025, 02:43 PM) any internet expert here? 300 mbbps and 1gb mbbps will experience big diff? A lot. Is 3x times the speed. If you’re into 1Gbps plan, the WiFi AX3000 won’t able to bring out the speed. My Asus Tuf ax3000 at best around 550mbps give or take. Unless you get AX4200 or AX6000 then can achieve that 1Gbps speed.

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.  Do you think is good idea to install camera lens protector? Wonder why Torras choose to NOT cover the camera plateau area?

QUOTE(droidtrix @ Sep 18 2025, 04:19 PM) I am still in dilemma , whether to get 17PM as I am using 16PM since Mar 25, the trade in value given was RM3.5K (2556GB). also the waiting period getting longer and longer if I were to do PO now... Go ahead, get the iPhone 17 pro max. Reason is simple, is the 17th model that gets a major design re work since iPhone 11 Pro Max. The rear camera plateau design is going to there for at least 2-3 years. Looking back iPhone 11 PM till 16 PM have the smiliar camera design.

QUOTE(mcho @ Sep 18 2025, 06:17 PM) Actually I change iPhone every 1-2 years but is it really major upgrade compared to 16? 😅 meaning to say it’s a worthwhile investment this round? Hahaha Is a major design rework for sure. When you held up the phone, they know is 17 Pro Max with the plateau design. 3,000 nit brightness. Vapor chamber cooling which is a huge upgrade to reducing heat stress during workload aka gaming. First time Apple C1 modem into iPhone. No more Qualcomm. For the first time USB C ver 3 data transfer for Pro models.

For those who eager/insist getting the eSIM variant, is it going to be Made In India? Since all US region is eSIM and it’s made in India.

QUOTE(kmed @ Sep 20 2025, 01:40 PM) Typically they maintain the same design for at least 2 years so you might need to wait until iphone19. If not mistaken, the longest design retain is iPhone 11 to iPhone 16 era. Short lived design had to be iPhone 3G and 3GS using black plastic rear cover.
