Hey guys, it's been a long time. Seems like most of you have already gotten your i4S and enjoying it. Nice work, but I also see some are contemplating whether to buy or not to buy an i4S. Some are also thinking whether it is worth your money to upgrade to i4S from an i4. Well, I'll just summarize the situation for you to make life easier.

The thing about Malaysia is that the iPhone's sold here are tied to telcos. So, if you want to get an iPhone, there's only 3 choices:

1, you get it from a telco, who are only going to sell it to you with a plan(most of the time).

2, You buy it in Singapore, or ask a friend to buy one for you.

3. Buy it from the 'garage sales'.

The thing about buying from garage sales is that the price is extremely overrated. I've seen these guys selling the 4S up to RM 3000 and they say it's reasonable. That sucks for new iPhone buyers, but if you already have an iPhone, it's actually a good thing. Let me explain. Since the prices of iPhones are 'bloated' in Malaysia, the prices of second hand iPhones also increase dramatically. For instance, someone wants to buy an iPhone, but doesn't want it with a contract for whatever reason, and has a budget of under RM 2K. Where is he/she going to look? The second hand market of course, so if you're selling your i4 for 1.5K which is kinda the average price right now, it's a good deal for him and also for you. So, i4 owners, just sell your i4 for RM 1.5K or even up to 1.7-1.8K if it's in really good condition, and get the iPhone 4S with a plan

For those new customers, just wait till the i4S comes out in the Stores if you don't want it with a plan. If you want it with a plan, then Celcom has the cheapest ones. Also, the prices of future iPhones won't be bloated as the Malaysian Apple Store has finally begun selling the i4S. It's a good thing for everyone, but perhaps it will afffect the resale value of current i4S owners in the future too.

Hope I have clarified some of your doubts. Feel free to ask if you have any questions. Till then, have a nice day.

You obviously did not know that we can order the phone from Apple Online Store which is not tied to any telcos. Just place and order and they will send it directly to your front door within 2 - 3 weeks. Buying from garage sales or phone shop will only be the last resort since they really cut your throat.

Did anyone facing Hotspot problem connect
On other device or pc?

Now even bank ATM cards can double as Debit cards. Some forumers can purchase using those debit cards but need to clarify with banks first if not mistaken.

if upgrade firmware over the air, how many mbs? and how long it takes? if i download need 813+mb... takes forever.. lol

5minutes-10minutes done

me...my devices cant find my iphone`s hotspot..

depends how fast your internet

What connection drain up iphone battery fast is it 3G or wifi?

3g

Mine able to connect but no receive at all... Tested with mobile,pc and notebook failed...heard that iOS 5 ha e this kind of issues

use a download accelerator that can resume and download the latest ipsw file from iClarified
once downloaded, open iTunes. Click Update (Whilst holding shift or the option key for MAC) - Find the downloaded file, and install it.

Telcos like maxis are selling iphone 4S without contract~~

3g, off your 3g when you are not using, it helps to save ur battery life.

i see. so maybank visa debit card can?

can can i bought with debit card also, but under contract one la
should be the same with non contract also what

if you plan to buy though apple store online, you might need to call Maybank (maybe around one or two hours later) to confirm the transaction so that the purchase will go smoothly.
