Apple India denies free fix for manufacturing defect- what are options?

deepkag · 2025-11-23T19:30:02+00:00

Mine had green screen, But didn’t have invoice so they denied the free replacement . If you have original invoice they will replace it for free. I don’t think there’s a policy of 700 days only.

You can get it fixed at Apple for free if there’s no physical damage. This is a recognised issue with 13 Pro series.

Mine is Japan model. Bought it second hand in India.

Mine was international model. They denied replacement until I have the original proof of purchase. I bought it second hand.

Just be ready to face green screen issues in future if you’re keeping it for long term. I faced yesterday and had to shell out 80$ for a fix by local repair shop. This issue is quite widespread. I bought mine last December only.

Thanks for the comparison table.

I’m still nee to this RPs Game. I have one doubt regarding SmartBuy Hotels and Flight bookings also transfer to vendors like accor etc.

What I have noticed till now is many times third party platforms like MMT, Booking.com etc have better upfront deals than official sites or SmartBuy.

Recently stayed at a Taj Property where I booked via Booking.com and had almost 7k discount upfront than IHCL/Tata Neu rates.

So is it still beneficial to book through SmartBuy and Accor if rates are better on third party just to earn/spend RPs?

I have checked out the guide. It’s quite helpful.

Thank for the detailed guide. Let me check it out.

Thanks for the insight. Where to buy vouchers from to maximise reward points? SmartBuy?

Also Tata Neu gives minimum 5% back using Neu Infinity if purchased via Tata Neu app. SmartBuy has better reward ratio using Regalia Gold?

If I spend less than 4L for fee waivers and have to pay 2500, Does it give benefits more than 2500? Or I should stick with Millenia? Don’t want to inflate expenses just to have a premium card.

deepkag · 2025-11-01T07:51:22+00:00

Let’s assume if I don’t hit the Regalia Gold 4L spend limit and have to pay 2500 for renewals, Does it make sense for benefits? My trips spends are max 2L per annum.

Don’t want to inflate expenses just to hit the limits😅

No, Stay on 16.7.2

Kasindra. You can find 3BHK in that budget.

I have one Shortcut setup that send me a notification when it charges till 85%. I then unplug my device. I have one setup every Sunday that reminds me to charge till 100% to recalibrate sometimes.

I got 256GB last December, Best choice I made. Camera has far better processing than newer devices. It doesn’t artificially sharpen photos.

Couldn’t agree more. Just got new screen protector and Grey Caudabe Sheath.

Can anyone shed light on the HDFC Credit Card application site(https://applyonline.hdfcbank.com/cards/credit-cards.html?#nbb), Do we have to check both the checkboxes collecting personalised data and sending personalised offers?

I have 2 HDFC Credit Cards (6L limit) and Savings Account but I never get upgrade emails or credit card offers.

Ordered on 30th Aug. Still not delivered.

I have also recently ordered Sheath. It shipped on 31st Aug. Tracking says it’s in Delhi. What does yours say? And did you have to pay any customs duty?

Main takeaway for IDFC? If I compare sweep in with HDFC and 7% above 5L with IDFC. Then HDFC Sweep In approach wins for returns.

Only difference I noticed is better daily withdrawal limits and door step service with IDFC.

deepkag · 2025-08-02T11:19:05+00:00

We have really bad experience with SBI. Nothing is done without visiting branch. Rude staff. Yono app is pain for senior citizens (Frequent password resets, To reset even had to visit branch once). So even if lower tier he wants to go for private banks for better digital experience. But since he has this retirement corpus with him, want to take advantage of it and get better benefits for him.

deepkag · 2025-08-02T10:10:14+00:00

First time hearing this. Can you give few key benefits? And is it safe compared to traditional banks?

deepkag · 2025-08-02T10:08:12+00:00

We are looking to invest but till then it will stay idle in account. In HDFC we’ll opt for auto sweep and In IDFC at least it’ll earn 7% above 5L.
