The guy just took the AirPods in his hand, felt it for a few seconds, noted that it said “Made in USA” and immediately said it’s fake

 

at that moment, I instantly had a mental laugh because that “made in usa” is hilarious 

 

then I pretended to be shocked and angry and told him that serial number checks out on OFFICIAL Apple website and protested and all but to no avail, he said we absolutely can’t do anything 

 

then I dropped the act and said just give me the Denial of Service letter and I’ll go. I actually told him exactly what wording I wanted in the letter which I want to submit to Amazon and he happily gave me that it’s not a genuine Apple product 

Hah ! Which service centre was it ?

If I lose my 18k on this, I’ll stop buying unnecessary electronics sh*t, will probably end up saving lakhs 

 

Well… I mean… don’t order stuff from Amz/Fk and you’ll be fine. Stick to official channels or Croma/RD

For all the hate flipkart gets, I’ve always had good experiences with them. 
 

Received incorrect products from Amazon once or twice, but never from flipkart.

Same. Quality may be bad but never a wrong product. But now that I said it, it will be jinxed. 

 

And is forum pe nazar lagane wale bhi bahut hain

I called Amazon customer care again today, uploaded Denial of Service letter. Then they said they are raising an investigation. Resolution within 3 days and I should call back on 15th. They also asked to upload a pic of the AirPods Pro with my name (amazon account holder name) and today’s date

 

This pic seems exactly like IVG TP pics

Everything’s good till one sh*t happens. That’s why people keep buying stuff from Amz/Fk.

I will add myself in this. Touchwood.

 

Infact I had 2 bad experiences with Amazon. Once a smartwatch box came empty, didn't made any video but still Amazon cc issued another one.

Second time a Sony TV came broken out Out of box. Was refunded without issues. Amazon customer service hasn't disappointed me yet.

for me the post purchase peace of mind is very important for premium products, i avoid online when i see a couple of thousand rupees discount.

I just go to the store and buy it, especially apple products.

sorry bro, wasn't active here. Just avoid in the future, after few days, you won't think about the discount you did not receive when everything else is smooth.

Same but I dont know how long they can keep it up. Lots of people take advantage of it by replacing product and returning it as fake

Wouldn't surprise me if they take the flipkart route soon and go open-box. 
 

Also, India is not so consumer friendly, and it just sucks. 

In most countries, people can return any of their purchases even if they change their mind, including phones - for upto 30 days. 
 

Indian markets are always treated poorly, despite shelling out so much of extra import taxes.

For 92K

Iphone 15 plus in blue color which gives a look of more off white. The in hand feel is awesome.

I am so glad I didn't get the 14 plus and opted for this. This literally feels like an upgrade over Iphone 13.

Bought it from Apple Saket store yesterday. It was jam packed. Reached at 5 pm. Had to take an appointment at 5.30pm. The guy who attended was super helpful. Traded in my 13. As my iPhone 13 was always in an Armored case it still looked brand new. They had stopped doing iphone to iphone data transfer due to various issues with customers. So had to do it from iCloud backup when I got home. Took sometime although the data was only 60 Gb. Didn't get the Apple case as for 4999 the quality didn't feel worth it. Will get the spigen or Ringke one.

Did a quick comparison with 15 pro max while I was waiting. Only 2 things were missing. Telephoto lens and pro motion. Both doesn't matter to me in my usage. Display is identical and no one can pick which is plus and pro. Battery life already feels amazing but will test to see how much screen on time I can get. All in all its a very good upgrade.

Price - 90k minus 5k hdfc discount minus 29k trade in for iphone 13 so costed approx 56k out of pocket.

Congrats. 15Plus is a legit upgrade, and there’s no reason to get 14 series at all now. The camera enhancements + battery boost + relatively faster SoC + so good hand feel are well worth it.

Good TV but Sony Quality has gone to sh*t over last few years. Do buy extended warranty if possible. Mine developed display issues within 2 years and Sony quoted 45K to replace the panel.

True that.

The in hand feel is so much better than the previous models. Although after applying the case it won't matter much. Still.

 

I wasted around 15-20 minutes contemplating whether to get this blue color or Black color which looks really good. Just got the blue cos my 13 was in green so wanted to try a lighter shade this time. For anyone looking to buy I will highly recommend the black which looks better on plus than pro one.
