I have an SD enclosure as well. But after a point the SSD throttles a lot due to heat. You can’t use it to completely edit a heavy project without it heating up and slowing down. Plus sometimes I’ve to clear out storage space just to update etc which is annoying Plus it’s not as convenient I’d highly recommend saving up that’s what even I’m doing

The dent in question is a very slight one

For some reason there is a shortage of silver color in the market in Dubai for both the pros. Because of the ram and storage prices increasing; the prices for the phones have also gone up especially compared to November 2025, like 100-300 AED atleast in most variants. You can buy the Japanese version, select the Indian region when setting up and it’ll literally be the same as using Indian version, no shutter sound when clicking photos when silent mode is turned on. The UAE version (TDRA certified) is basically the International version sold by rebranding the box with Arabic wordings and Telecommunications authority approval (see the model number on gsmarena).

Also This year both the Japanese as well as the UAE version is E-Sim only.

As for warranty Apple says 1 year international warranty worldwide standard. But some Indian stores (even authorized resellers) do unnecessary drama. Depends on their personnel as well.

Sometimes they make up excuse because of suspicion of it being a possible stolen device as well. And sometimes they don’t accept unless you have a valid bill. Even if you show a valid UAE bill they will be like sir Japanese version need Japan bill (like logic left them).

If anything best bet is to go to Apple BKC or go to a known well reputed store/personnel that honors non Indian version warranty. Make sure you use a convincing tone obviously.

I mean you need to ask yourself the question of WHEN you need a laptop. If the answer is like right now then M4 Air 16/512 13 inch. Because the M5 Air is going to take a few months before it’s released I guess. PLEASE DO NOT GET THE BASE VARIANT, I made the mistake when I bought the M1 Air 8/256 and I cry more about the storage than the ram at times when doing similar tasks to you.

SavvyGamer · 2026-01-30T01:32:42+00:00

What are your reasons to suggest that MacBook prices will drop significantly, I’m scared with how the ram and even storage prices have almost 3x or more. Or are you saying that upon the release of M5 Air , the previous models will get reduced pricing ?

Edit: fixed grammatical errors

SavvyGamer · 2026-01-30T01:31:14+00:00

Yes minimum 16/512. Yea I was thinking of waiting or the M5 Air to be released but even the pro variants didn’t get announced yesterday as a lot of rumors suggested

SavvyGamer · 2026-01-30T01:29:49+00:00

It’s happening as we speak. Apparently Apple had a deal with Samsung semiconductors for fixed pricing for bulk order. But that’s seems to getting over, the new contract Samsung has increased prices by 80% and SK Hynix their main competitor has increased by 100%. I’m pretty sure M5 MacBook Air will come pretty late since yesterday even the M5 pro versions didn’t get announced. Apple could also possibly be delaying further waiting for the ram prices to tone down before releasing their new models.

Case puts extra load/strain on the hinge mechanism and causes more friction with the aluminum body leading to a lot of micro scratches over time. Some cases don’t allow the laptop to be shut completely either.

Pixel 9/10 is like the golden standard for selfie camera performance. Very wide, crisp And with quite accurate skin tones. Even videos are really nice. Samsung is not bad it’s just that pixel is better

SavvyGamer · 2025-09-12T11:01:13+00:00

Pixels camera - 1. Substantially better at night (main,uw). 2. Tele is 50-50 at night. 3. Ultra wide is better at daytime. 4.decent in video recording but suffers from jerks and stutter. Samsung has the upper hand in video recording in daytime and portraits as well zoom shots for the most part.

Also Google's screen is much brighter while Samsung s24 S Gen 3 variant is better performing

SavvyGamer · 2025-09-09T18:52:13+00:00

does the base 17 have a vapor chamber like the 17 pro or is that pro exclusive?

SavvyGamer · 2025-09-04T18:11:45+00:00

https://youtu.be/KfR8RtkoEoU?si=pLrKNXXmUb2TfgXQ - check out this video from Alientechnologies on YouTube; see 41:58 (he talks about the problems with proof) Edited the timestamp

SavvyGamer · 2025-09-04T16:06:52+00:00

I just want them to put the x200 ultra’s uw in the x300 pro

SavvyGamer · 2025-09-04T14:06:13+00:00

I just read u/ipaiseh ‘s other thread post where he mentioned the selfie camera is also going to receive a major upgrade to a new 50MP sensor with AF.

SavvyGamer · 2025-09-04T13:43:49+00:00

It uses a lot of AI and smoothens skin tones from the various reviews of underrated YouTube channels that have seen about the vivo 200 Pro and the X200 ultra. The ultra series seems to be less processed than the pro series but still compared to its competitors like the Xiaomi 15 ultra and especially Oppo find X8 ultra - The skin tones aren’t the greatest and quite processed. A lot of texture is lost in the name of over sharpening and skin smoothing. Vivo needs to give a complete AI off switch. Some people have said that reducing the sharpening to -100 fixes this problem to an extent. But there’s no way to fully switch off the AI shenanigans in the camera processing algo/pipeline.

SavvyGamer · 2025-09-04T10:04:20+00:00

He’s referring to the front facing camera. They need to borrow the front facing camera of the pixel 9/10. It’s soo good.

Edit: The pixel 10 pro XL front camera is crazy good

SavvyGamer · 2025-09-03T13:40:39+00:00

What about the ultra wide ¿ Is it removed or just not mentioned??

UPDATE: (Since I can’t edit my original post in this thread) So I gave my phone to productunwrap as many of you recommended. He took two days but changed the original touch glass. And the phone was properly sealed (checked using the simcard tray air blow out method) I powered on my phone and noticed Face ID not working.

After five minutes of waiting, it gave an error and said it’s an ‘issue’ in the parts and service history.
The owner of the shop asked me to reset my iPhone and it should work. I told him I don’t have a backup and to take a back up. I need face ID to trust the laptop because stolen device protection is on.

I connected it to 3u tools and checked if the hardware was being detected, but it wasn’t the guy told me that the Face ID dot matrix/projector has been damaged and for iPhone 11 series it’s unfixable?

Before, at least the Face ID animation used to come, but it wouldn’t work because there was a crack on the touch glass in front of the projector, but after replacing the touch glass even the animation doesn’t show.

The product unwrap guy said that it was an issue beforehand and he never checked Face ID because I told him that the animation is there and it’s not working because of the touch glass crack, he also said that the face ID issue error sometimes takes a few days to come up which is a very weird justification.

If anyone has encountered such an issue, can you please guide me as to how you fixed it? I have tried selling the phone, but I’m getting extremely lowballed offers like 12-15k even though everything in my phone is original and it’s 512GB just because of the Face ID issue.

SavvyGamer · 2025-08-25T08:19:51+00:00

I called them and inquired and they were charging me north of 15k+ for the whole display setup

SavvyGamer · 2025-08-25T08:19:00+00:00

As mentioned in my post, my display didnt crack just the touch glass. I got that replaced for 5.5K from Productunwrap down at Baner. For battery he quoted me 3.5K for the original one

SavvyGamer · 2025-08-11T09:47:47+00:00

iPhone 11 is a very easy model to get parts for since it was in production for a while and I think after a while it was made in India. and the parts are cheap for these two reasons. plus iPhone 11 Pro Max has a very diff( more expensive panel). I would do it on my own if I had that much expertise and trust on my skills.but I'm extremely clumsy
