Looks like iphone 5 is prone to scratch and scuff make sure to apply protection before using it....

I think the scratches is depends on the person who using iPhone 5

ok i consider myself someone who is very careful with my phone. the iP4 that i have used for 2 years never had a crack or any physical fault with it.

but currently, after using the new iP5 for about a week, the chrome (middle) part of the phone, the paint is already coming off. aihs. its quite frustrating and making me not wanna take care of the phone anymore, after a week. and the paint comes off even more at the charging port area, where the connector would scratch around to find for the 'hole'.

hope there will be a programme by apple to fix this? mayb like free bumper like they did to address the antenna issue of the iP4. cry.gif

better dont use Note, i am a ex note user....switching from ip4-->note-->4s the note is too bulky and very heaty and most importantly it always hang and always laggy and not so smooth in application using.

cant wait my lovely ip5 to be deliver in 3 weeks


Added on October 3, 2012, 7:57 am
hahaha same to me, i ordered within 5 minutes when my friend who work in apple told me that ip5 available for booking in sg apple.... sweat.gif
*
haven used note2 before so wudnt know for sure.
the reason why i sticked to iPhones all these while wud be the iOS, and the ability to transfer (migrate) everything so easily from one iPhone to another.

btw still waiting on whatsapp to release an update for the bigger screen. everything else already updated to fit the bigger screen i.e. instagram/4sq/fb.

mayb this cud b the advantage of having the iP5 later. icon_rolleyes.gif

Sigh no point also cos I dont want the contract, at least if DiGi i have a friend who's interested in the contract...

if i remember correctly maxis might allow to buy outright.
but if the stocks are limited, they might just reserve the units for ppl signing plans instead. logical move actually.

bro there are heaps of things to do without the need to jailbreak.
you're more worried about your reliance on free apps download, or the visual modification part? blush.gif

yeah i get what you mean.
its ironic how apple introduces features that already exists with jailbreaking a few versions ago.
kinda like the jailbreaking functions enlightens apple what they need to add in their future phones lol.

the ones that malaysia sells (by all telco) is officially unlocked. i think singapore too.
but most of the countries outside the Asia region would provide sets that are locked to their telco.

abit off topic here, but since we all gonna get the new baby (i already had it), a good SP is a must rite? Or u guys just gonna get a simple one will do ?
I'm looking at this and i must say... its a must get for me...  drool.gif

i dont think an SP need to provide protection to the phone like this one does. i guess the primary function of the SP is to prevent scratches on the phone's screen.

i opted for a decent anti-glare SP that cost me about 20AUD.

what i look for the most in SP (in anti glare ones esp) is the clarity and leaves no finger print.

Me and my friend have been using this iPhone 5 since the very first day. Let me write down the DEFECTS we discovered so far.

1. Soft aluminium side brushed bezel that cause dent EASILY. Just like Coca-cola tin

2. Hairline flickering found on the display. Randomly happen thus it is very difficult to show to any Apple personal. Do take note this issue will become worse.

3. Malfunction volume button. Pending replacement.

4. Dim display (just like with 15% of Brightness).

i will update more as soon as we find out more. At the moment there is no replacement unit for us.

* You will not be able to notice No.2 as it is very RANDOM.
*
i gotta agree with #1. ive been using the black one only since 21st of last month. paint already started coming out.
every other issue im yet to encounter.

im not trying to condemn Apple, but i think this bezel issue shudnt b overlooked. now i dont even 'sayang' my phone anymore. just using it normally without a casing bcos i plan to go get a 1to1 exchange when the iPhone 5 stock becomes abundant. i guess this is where its good that i opted for a 2year warranty. blush.gif

but all in, still hope that the iPhone did not come with such an issue.

All manufacturing (Samsung included) does have a defect level that escapes QC.  It is just simply the large volume Apple is moving at the same time.  Even at a very low 1%, out of 5 million on the first weekend, it will translate to 50,000 defective units.  nod.gif

Been having mine for coming to a month now without any issue  brows.gif

makes sense when the numbers are tallied up like that.
im not saying that im currently experiencing any issues with the iP5, just that the easily scratchable bezel part gets to me. im someone that dont exactly abuse their phone, so seeing it scratched already so quickly, worries me.

if its true that the later batches of iPhones 5 will have improved quality, especially to the bezel part, i will march into apples stores and get an exchange. hahha not fussy or anything, but if its allowed, why not. icon_rolleyes.gif

Guys, I got some enquiries over here.

I'm planning to ask a friend of mine which is studying in Aus to get me the iPhone as she will be back by end of Oct.

In that case, will she be allowed for the GST refund at the airport?
*
is she gonna b buying outright from my apple store?
if she is, just tell them that are you planning to get tax refund at the airport. they will need her details etc and it will b printed on the receipt.

if she is buying from apple online store, i am not really sure if she is able to claim tax.

for the method of buying from apple store, i have personally done it before and can tell you that it works. i forgot the percentage already. think 10% if i remember correctly.

will definitely go for black~~
cant notice the letter box if the apps not optimized for the 4 inch screen... LOL
*
yeah if apps are yet to be updated to the current screen size, the black spaces on each ends gets pretty annoying. especially apps that has a keyboard ie. whatsapp/fb.

but i think this problem 'shud' be addressed in coming weeks already as 'most' of the apps have already updated to fit the bigger screen.

the black color does make it a lil bit more difficult with the blanks, but i haven used the white one so wudnt exactly know the difference.

QUOTE(sakurazz @ Oct 13 2012, 03:57 PM)
White looks much better than advertised pic too..

Well it's a great change of colour for those who uses white since 1st gen..

Black will be the best choice
*
hahha mine was the other way around. been using black. and thought of getting the white one this time around.
but the black was too smexy.
so ended up with another black lol.
