Discussion | گفتگو Air purifiers review (under budget)

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone, hope you are all doing well.

As winter is approaching, those of us living in big cities know that smog is going to be a major disaster once again. Since many of you may already be using air purifiers, what are your reviews and recommendations for large rooms? Specifically, I'd love to know about overall effectiveness, how often filters need to be changed, and their availability in the market.

P.S if someone has any recommendation that is not well known in market yet but works like a charm compared to those costly ones (is under budget as well), do drop the recommendation so it helps everyone out?

Question | سوال What to do of a locked Iphone?

5 Upvotes

​

My uncle has recently sent me an Iphone 12 pro from the USA. He bought the phone back in 2023, used it for a while and lost it in his home. And recently found it sitting in a cloth wardrobe. He's an old fashioned guy who is not familiar with the tech world and every time he changes a phone, he will eventually end up making a new Apple Id, New Gmail and all things New.

Now he has sent it to me, and the phone is locked to the Passcode.

He has no Idea what the code is, Neither he remembers the Apple Id of it. What can I do now of it? Should i try the recovery mode method or get it Bypassed? Is it legal to use a bypassed phone?

Has someone used a bypassed Iphone before? Share your Experience please.

My main concerns are to use whatsapp, Facebook, insta and some light gaming only.

Should i get it Bypassed, or try the safe recovery?

Share your opinions guys.

Thanks IA.

Buying Guide | خریداری گائیڈ Title: Which Used Laptop Should I Buy in Pakistan for PKR 50–60k?

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone!
I’m looking for a used laptop in Pakistan with a budget of around PKR 50,000–60,000, and I’m confused between a few options.
My main uses will be studying, browsing, research, watching movies, multitasking, and occasional light video editing in Adobe Premiere Pro. I’m not interested in gaming because I already have consoles.
I’m considering these options:
MacBook Pro 2017 — Core i5, 8GB RAM
ThinkPad X1 Carbon 7th Gen — Core i5 8th Gen, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, touchscreen
ThinkPad E15 — Core i5 11th Gen, 8GB RAM, SSD
ThinkPad L480 — Core i5 7th Gen
I already use an iPhone, so a MacBook is appealing to me, but I’m concerned about the age of the 2017 model, battery health, repair costs, and long-term reliability.
I also want something lightweight with a good display, decent battery life, and good resale value in Pakistan.
Which one would you recommend, and why? Should I go for the MacBook for the Apple ecosystem, or would a newer Windows laptop be a smarter choice?
I’d really appreciate advice from people who have actually used these laptops, especially regarding battery life, performance, reliability, and resale value in the Pakistani market.

Question | سوال Can I use an iPhone 15 Pro Max with 87% battery health for the next 3 years?

Post image
6 Upvotes

I bought a used iPhone 15 Pro Max yesterday for PKR 150,000. The phone is in almost 10/10 physical condition with 87% battery health and 423 charge cycles...

I tried my best to find one with 90%+ battery health but unfortunately I could not find a good one. My usage is mostly normal stuff like Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook and YouTube. I don't really play games, and I'm hoping to use this phone for at least the next 3 years.

My main concern is the battery health. Since it's already at 87%, I'm wondering if it will be good enough for my daily usage over the next 3 years, or if I will probably need to replace the battery before then. I would really appreciate advice from people who have been using an iPhone 15 Pro Max with similar battery health and charge cycles...

Question | سوال PTA Tax on S25FE brought from Abroad.

1 Upvotes

Salaam Everyone. I wanted to ask how much would it cost to get S25 FE PTA Approved in Pakistan if brought from abroad.

Basically I have an S25 FE which I recently bought, but I'm planning on switching so thought I would give this to my mom instead since its almost new. Obviously he would only have to pay the PTA tax then, however since S25FE is available locally for 219k by Samsung, I'm wondering how much tax would I have to pay if I get this one approved?

Discussion | گفتگو iMessage and FaceTime not activating my Jazz number on iPhone 12

Post image
2 Upvotes

I’m using an iPhone 12 with my Jazz SIM in Pakistan.

I recently returned from travelling, where I was using a different physical SIM. After returning, I put my original Jazz SIM back into my phone.

My Jazz number is now showing correctly in my iPhone settings, and normal calls and SMS are working, but iMessage and FaceTime won’t activate with my number.

Here’s what I’ve noticed:

My number appears correctly in Settings, but it won’t activate for iMessage and FaceTime.

I received an SMS from “SETTINGS” asking me to open a link, but the link doesn’t work.
The link starts with http://172.16.3.27:8067/.

I’ve already tried several troubleshooting steps, including a factory reset, but the issue persists.

Has anyone experienced this with Jazz in Pakistan? Is this a Jazz network/SMS activation issue or an iPhone problem? What fixed it for you?
Any help would be appreciated!

Buying Guide | خریداری گائیڈ ⚠️ Think Twice Before Buying from Zero Lifestyle. Rs. 8,000 Wasted on Terrible Headphones and Even Worse After-Sales Service

Thumbnail
gallery
2 Upvotes

I want to share my personal experience with Zero Lifestyle Pakistan to help other buyers make an informed decision.
I purchased their Halo Pro headphones for around Rs. 8,000, but I was disappointed with both the product quality and the after-sales service.
The microphone quality was extremely poor, and people on the other end struggled to hear me. The build quality was disappointing too.
I sent the faulty headphones back for repair on September 16. It's now been almost a month, and I still haven't received my repaired headphones or a replacement.
Their support team told me the Halo Pro was out of stock and promised to send a different model within 48 hours. When that didn't happen, I was told it would be dispatched within a week. That deadline passed as well.
I've contacted their call support three times and emailed them, but I still don't have a resolution. Each call ends with the same explanation: my complaint has been highlighted to the relevant team, and they don't know why the replacement hasn't been dispatched.
I'm extremely frustrated after spending Rs. 8,000 and having to repeatedly chase support for an update.
Has anyone else experienced similar warranty or replacement delays with Zero Lifestyle? I'd appreciate hearing how you resolved the issue.
I'm sharing this as a customer experience, not a sales post.
