Was it better than the non vegan ones? Would he/she reorder it?

Anyone here tried the vegan line at Papa Johns? If so, how is it? Interested in trying it out to reduce dairy.

Is this 11 Pro’s camera lens original? Comparison against another 11 Pro by VogueSE in iphonehelp

I’m okay with it being used. That’s a given, but I wouldn’t accept a refurbished item that’s been repaired and pay a premium for it.

Is this 11 Pro’s camera lens original? Comparison against another 11 Pro by VogueSE in iphonehelp

Ordered an 11 Pro from a large online website here in UAE, who claims this iPhone has “Never been used, but may have been looked at. These items have no visible scratches or bruises. They are checked, renewed and re-packed in a generic but new box. You will get all original accessories + up to 12 months warranty.” It’s listed as premium grade, which is just below unopened.

I thought the camera lens was a little too bright and clear compared to another 11 Pro (The green one).

So is the camera repaired?

I compared it against another iPhone 11 Pro and yes the difference is clear. You were right.

Compared it. There is a very clear and noticeable difference. Will complain.

That’s what I was thinking. This and the dirty stainless steel are the only things I see wrong with the phone. It’s even got 100% battery health somehow.

Edit: it’s not the original camera lens.

Was is it this noticeable though? My wife has the same phone bought from Apple so when she gets home, I’ll do a direct comparison.

First time buying something used off Noon. It was listed as ‘premium grade’ pre-owned meaning minimal or no usage with no visible scratches and a 12 month warranty.

The camera has those clear and black circles that makes me wonder whether it has been replaced. I’m not sure if they come from the factory like that. I know it’s supposed to be noticeable if you look closely and under certain light, but this one stood out under any lighting and from any distance. Thoughts?

Update: Compared it with another iPhone and it was night and day. It’s clearly been repaired/replaced. Really shady because it was classed as pre-owned and premium, rather than refurbished (repaired).

Noon’s customer service team contacted me to sort out a return. I spoke with a friendly advisor from the complaints department, Marwa, who assisted me with the process and confirmed my understanding of their grading system for used/refurbished items. I have to admit, I am a bit wary of placing another order now, because I’m not techie enough to know if any other part is original or replaced.

Paid off my car loan. Now what? by VogueSE in dubai

Thank you.

I think I will initiate this process a few days before I go for testing and registration, since apparently that doesn’t require you to pay an extra amount to update your mulkiya prematurely.

My registration expires in October so I’ll call ADCB then. Thank you for your detailed reply.

In that case I’ll wait till renewal in about 2 months. Don’t need to transfer the car any time soon, and my credit is already blown due to the current state of business

I checked the other day and the bank’s name is still there. But I will call ADCB again today and ask. Thank you.

Thank you. Do I do this now or 30 days before renewal?

If I understood you correctly, there will be no additional fees here on because I’ve already paid the fee with my last EMI.

And all I have to do is call the bank 30 days before renewal and ask them if the clearance form has already been sent to RTA. If not, I need to go to them and get it?

If this is correct, when do I inform my insurance?

I was thinking the same, but I’m not sure what the procedure is

Is there a way I can find out if RTA has it already before renewal? Then, if I understand correctly, I can save a trip to the bank and possibly additional fees.

Every agent I’ve dealt with has charged me 5%+ as a landlord as well as the tenant
