How does trade in work? Do you need backup to your PC before passing the old phone?

I was in Europe during CNY this year I had to wear a smartwatch to find my way around using Google Maps to prevent myself from holding on my phone all the time. Still had to take out my phone for photos though. I had the strap also but I didnt use it because wearing the strap is like telling everybody I have a phone strapped to myself.   

if i want to stand by pre order iphone pro max 17 and trade in mine, apple website can register account first?

Maxis seems to be offering the highest trade in value for my 15 Pro Max 256GB but the catch is if I want to use the value to offset my device payment (normal contract) then I can’t pre-order, I need to walk in to physical store when the stock is available.. So looks like I’ll have to just be patient

They have an app called Maxis Trade In - I think they partner with Instacash…

Here, check it out: -

So maxis guy told me that if you preorder, you will need to pay the device price, but after that you can turn up at the centre to surrender your device and they will credit the amount into your bill… say your device is worth RM3k and your monthly bill is RM150 a month, means you won’t need to pay maxis bill for the next 20 months. However if you want to offset the device price with your trade in value, then no choice, you gotta walk in to the maxis centre when the stock is ready. It’s a system limitation, apparently.

So I opted for the latter.

This year maxis allows iPhone normal contract with their lowest plan, RM109 - previously it started with the RM139 plan. And even with the RM109 plan they shaved a cool RM1k off the phone’s RRP. Quite a good bargain.

So have you preordered?
Yeah, I remarked this as well a couple of days back. Let’s hope it’s better this time!

The pickpockets were mostly Eastern Europeans.
The Pro Max is definitely not a kancil.   Its the largest iphone you can get right now.

Why am I not receiving anything from Maxis after the PO? Even the delivery tracker is not updated. Lemah la Maxis

Oh no.. looks like I chose the unpopular option - blue color. Lol.

Bigger means Better after all! Can't wait to get that weird feeling and that wow factor from my 6.5inch screen to a 6.9inch 
grok telling me 3 - 6 hrs I was like WHAT? 

This is my order status update. Cant be real haha. As long as 19/9 can already also ok.

Maxis website. Need to Sign In with your details and check under Account Activities

I have a feeling they only ship tmr morning and clear customs in the afternoon and start posting on the 19th.

I just called the CelcomDigi CS, just wanting to know the status of my order.
Me: "Hi, I wanted to check the status of my iPhone 17 order, please? Since I am unable to check myself on the status via the website, I am calling you for some clarification."

CS: "Ok, ma'am, I understand. Once your order is confirmed, we will send an email to you, and all phones will be delivered to customers on the 19th of September. Don't worry; we shall send you an email regarding your delivery as soon as we can. Is there anything else you want help with?"

Me: "Nope, thanks, kbaiiii."

As usual, with a template and well-scripted answers from CelcomDigi CS...hahah The conversation was over in less than 2 minutes...

Ok malas, want to call or find out more after this.

Sabar saja je la

Seriously this year pro series Apple really sacrifices the usual atas look to the performance.
