For xiaomi and Anker adapter.. is it charge faster than the apple 29W adapter?
Btw, what apps are you using to edit photos / PDF etc or note taken (apple pencil)?

Went to get ipad pro 256 gold on Sat at the Apple store.

Open 1st set, scratches on the back of the ipad.
2nd set, also scratches on bezel n back of the ipad.
3rd set, few dots on apple logo, and a dead pixel on the screen.
4th set - hopefully no issue. (cross fingers)

Well, apple quality check not up to standard? Or mayb I suay.
Nevertheless, apple store provide damn good service and lots of patience with me.
Really thumbs up!

WOW, thats really quite unlucky.. but yes Apple really have one of the best service in the world.

they will send u an email and text message on the collection. they will advise you to add it to your Wallet app.

when you reach the apple store, just inform the staff you re collecting items. they will scan the QR code and check your ID for verification. then re-confirm the item(s) you ordered.

within a few minutes, the items will be brought out for you to check.

if you bought online through employee purchase program (for some companies got special discounts), no need to show staff ID. not too sure about education discount items though.

thanks for the info. don't know where to get the ipad pro. wanted from telco but sold out. will be paying as low as (appx $300 + 15*24 months) for the item. if from store, close to 1.2k. but kinda wanted it asap to start preparation for work purposes.

Collect at apple store no need to produce education id. But buying from Apple store @ orchard needs you to produce id..
Upz....if you are wondering need produce education id. And yes they didnt check mine too... bought the logic pro x and final cut bundle also didnt check.

If u buy from telco, the total costs over 24 months add up even more than if you buy straight from Apple or other retailers.

Upfront payment might seem low, but over 24 months, you are actually paying more.

yes but for my case, the data plan will not be paid by me. i'm only paying for the $15 top up. so i'm just taking the figures for what i have to pay so that will be:

15*24 = 360
ipad pro 256 wifi+4g = 455
455+360 = 815

haven't used up my ns50 and prestige vouchers.

Hi,

May I know what Spec U brought?
I mean what colour & size? Is it Black 256GB Wifi with Celluar?
So that those who are buying the same model at Apple Store Orchard, need to be alert!

Also, How & Where to spot the Defects?
Do U mind to share Photo of the Defects?

Maybe a rough Sketch of the iPad Pro to show where the faults are ...
1st set, 2nd set, 3rd set, 4th set & Present one ...

Thanks!
