Given tonight will be official launch of iPhone 4S on Apple Store MY.

Is it worth to buy from the website, or buy at telcos along with the plan?

If I could, I would get from the website but I always see people want to offer buy the plan but don't want the phone. Is it the plan for the iphone is not available to those who buy the iphone from Apple Store?

Whatman: I think iphone from Apple store is unlocked and not tagged with any Telco.

Yes I know that but the thing is whether its more value to get the phone from Apple Store or direct from Telco.

Put delivery time aside, if one buys from Telco, they get certain plan. This plan can buy seperately without the need to buy iPhone from Telcos (say you already have iPhone). Its like the plan you can only get if you buy iPhone from that Telco judging by how many people offer to "want plan but don't want phone" thread.

Happen to me. I port Digi to Celcom, but they can't give me the phone until I'm completely ported to Celcom. So if the port complete tomorrow, I can come and get it. sweat.gif

What I can see is, people not relay excited as the launch of iPhone 4. Many still want to wait for something new design from apple.  Maybe iPhone 5 is more better in term of design and features. Any how I manage to get my iPhone 4s and not much different from iPhone 4 except the SIRI features.

Please explain very high demand for iPhone 4S then. rolleyes.gif

Hey guys, I have an advice to all of you forumers here who are planning to get an i4S but are worried of all the problems people are posting here. Don't worry too much about it. These problems are just exaggerated by the media and by everyone else who's talking about it. I just got my 4S this morning and I'm loving it. Best iPhone ever, NO, best phone ever! And I've used BB's N Series', Androids, WP 7s, you name it, so I know my stuff. I'm not just some fanboy.

There are some problems with some of the units, but otherwise, it's all good. The reason why it seems like there's a problem is because only those who have a problem come and post about these things. Those who don't have any problems are just chilling at home enjoying their new device. After all, millions of customers purchased the phone, but do you see millions of complaints? No, there a about 1000 complaints maybe, and considering how many millions Apple have sold, the number is very small.

Worse comes to worse, if your unit does have a problem, and your telco doesn't allow you to exchange it. Just return it and demand you money back. Then, go and get the Galaxy Nexus that's coming out in Jan (Befor CNY) or any other phone. Heck, you can even get the i4.

Point is, quit worrying guys. I was so worried too before I bought it, but now that I have it, I love it. Wondered why I worried so much in the first place. Just chill, it's all good.

P.S - The screen is A BIT warmer for the 4S but it really helps with the displaying lighter colors. People used to complain that the iPhone screens were oversaturated, so Apple probably tweaked it to be a little lighter. That's probably why they haven't responded to all the complaints regarding the screen yet, cuz THERE IS NO PROBLEM smile.gif

Same thing about ipad screen bleed. I got the bleed but you really do not notice it in normal use.

I'm using PhotoSync but the app require that I have Location Services to be turned on.

Now I can turn on the Location Services for PhotoSync, but I want to know that if I left it on (but all other Location Services for Camera, FB, Weather, etc) will battery life go down fast when I am not using PhotoSync but left its Location Services on?

I charge my iPhone 4S @ 100% around midnight. Leaving wifi on, next morning I discover it was at 68%, yet the 'usage' was 46 minutes, despite the fact I went to sleep right after doing full charge.

So how was the phone reduce to that amount of charge when I slept the whole night and the phone was put to standby mode (lock)?

I think easiest is to don't look at the battery and bring your charger with you. Use like you would if it has unlimited batt and just charge when it's at about 10%. that's what I do and so far it's a huge improvement on my (mental) health compared to 2 weeks back when I keep on checking batt % and going all stressed out about it.trust me.

Ha true. I already bought a spare charger, turn of the battery %, and suddenly felt better about the battery life. brows.gif
