For this strap is 4199. I think not so soon. Maybe another week.
I guess no.
My U2 is quoted RM 1525. However, mine is the 2023 variant. You can always use the Apple Store app and simply pick something and choose trade-in, it will list your existing watch there and it will show the value.

Oh, I didn't know that the U2 2023 and 2024 variants have the same trade-in price, although they are the same. The difference is that the 2024 model comes with the black option. I bought my U2 at 3799 in 2023, so, it is 40% over two years.

Yes, if you need to trade in your Apple device, it is the only option. However, if you are willing to keep the gift card for future purchases, you can still trade in your Apple device to receive the gift card.

For this, you need to walk-in to TRX. Tell them you want to trade-in your device and get a gift card for future purchases. They will assess your device on the spot and issue a gift card rightaway.

Gift card is only for hardware purchase only. Cannot be used for services.

Tried to use gift card for Apple One before but could not.

Cannot cancel one now? If can, then cancel one. If cannot then return one later.
There’s an Apple gift card and Apple Store gift card.

A Malaysian Apple Store Gift Card can be used to purchase Apple hardware and accessories at a Malaysian Apple Retail Store, the Apple Online Store (apple.com/my), or by phone. An Apple Account balance, from a redeemed Apple Gift Card, can be used to buy apps, games, in-app purchases, and subscriptions like Apple Music and iCloud+ from the App Store.

For this case, it’s an Apple Store gift card. So, only hardware purchases it seems. Can call their friendly CS to confirm again. For my case, I only wanted to use it for a hardware purchase so not an issue.

Nice. So you won’t be trapped with the gift card inception.

Wait, I think his case is slightly different than mine. If you trade-in and use a gift card, the trade-in value will go back to gift card first and the balance goes back to your payment method.

Example: The watch is RM 3k and you have a gift card is RM 1k and trade-in is 1.5k, paid with credit card (RM 3k-1k=2k). So for the trade-in, Apple will refund RM 1k back to your gift card and RM 500 to your credit card. Technically, you still need to pay RM 1.5k to the bank instead of RM 500 and still having the gift card of RM 1k.

Yesterday early morning received my watch, but Ringke combo haven’t get it yet.

I bought transparent because slightly expensive and wanna try out their quality.
