The iphone 5 price jacked higher and higher each day wow.  Surpassed the 4S record too. 
Also to note again warranty for iphone only valid for origin country.  Most apple product has international warranty but not iphone
*
Oh. Cos last time my iPhone 4 got problem I call apple care they do support me so I presume it was cover internationally as well. But those iPhone that not bought from telco warranty from who?

Well, my friend which is working at Maxis part store said even Celcom & DiGi unit comes from Maxis. They only replace the warranty card so customer think it was Celcom/ DiGi get the phone direct from Apple. I dont know if it true or he just joking..

i don't know details yet, but there will be 8 maxis outlets that promoters will be assigned to, either in malls or just big maxis branches, and the phone will be launched in these 8 different outlets throughout the weekend. that's what my friend told me, but not sure if i will be working


Added on October 5, 2012, 11:35 am

I dun know, serious? My reply was meant for ignorant ppl like you whom I cannot believe still exist who believe every problem is a problem when you don't know what the problem is. The purple halo on ip5 is not something uncommon if you are into photography. Most of the DSLR users out there experiencing the same thing (termed as purple fringing) and Apple has acknowledge it is not an issue at all.

Dear Matt,

Our engineering team just gave me this information and we recommend that you angle the camera away from the bright light source when taking pictures. The purple flare in the image provided is considered normal behavior for iPhone 5's camera.

Sincerely,
Debby

Do your own research b4 you ask others to do. Oh, I suggest you go back to your silent reading way. At least you won't sound stupid at all.
*
Sorry not meant for bashing anyone ya. Apple nowadays like to say this so call is considered normal. Even the edge scratches bob also say normal. Haih.. Anyway I dont know anything bout photography so I just pointed out the words that they use. Sounds irresponsible.

Btw really no big issue as this is just a smartphone camera cant expect too much. And avoiding capturing the sunlight is no such big deal i guess.

i'm not expecting a perfect phone as well. things like scratches are really annoying and cannot be defended at all especially u have it right out of the box. and the antenna issue was also a problem not worth defending as well.

I've been using iPhone 4 which have antenna problem but I'm used to it. So shud be fine for me... smile.gif

With the strong rumours of Oct 19, I wonder how are the Garage Sales re-sellers coping with the extra stock? If they manage to reduce it to about RM2.5k I might actually consider.
*
They still can sell a bit high cos during launching it will out of stock very fast and there is ppl rather pay extra but don't wanna queue... So in the end they still can sell at 2.7k..

what? Scratches were classified as "Normal" ?? No way I gonna accept that. Scratches are due to careless of their Foxconn or Apple's employer. I not gonna pay RM 2k+ for a phone come with scratches.  sweat.gif

best way to solve for malaysian now is to buy with telcos and get the unit open immidiately in store.. anything can directly revert to them ~
*
You all got it wrong la. What bob means is the material will get scratch is normal. Not iPhone 5 got scratches the moment u open the box is normal.

apps and ecosystem is good. but i feel most of the main apps that i use are on other OS's aswell. TBH, im waitin for lumia920. that phone looks very cool and is really making me lust for it.. hehe.. i had this same feeling when iphone3g hit msia many years ago when compared to the Nokia's and BB's back den smile.gif

overall, its all down to individual preference. Many ppl are hoping iphones GUI changes in iOS7, but im not puttin too much hope after seein 7 versions of iOS throughout the years. iOS's been great, but it takes more than a simple interface and super slow incremental updates to take my money. personally, i felt iphone4 was d last big super leap from apple. that fone really WOWed me.

I hope apple comes out with an iPhone6,7 or etc which will make my jaw drop like how i did with the iphone4 smile.gif

Same here. Ya iPhone 4 + iOS 4 that time. That's why im using iPhone 4 now... tongue.gif.

Yeah, i understand ur feeling, i aslo having the same feeling like ur when ip4s released. I jump to android system, and using two phone, HTC and Galaxy note. For a month,yes i really like it but after 2 month, it also kinda bored. Yeah i do custom Rom blah...blah... But when comes to apps, i already missed iphone. When more i using my new ipad, i feel more bored with android. Finally, iphone 5 on my hand.

Easy say, iPhone 5 is boring in terms of the design and the system but problem is there's nothing can replace it in our heart at the moment. At least this applies to you and me too... tongue.gif never ever thought of buying droid atm..

Hahaha someone speculates from a 'source' then others get excited and ask the person who posts such detail questions as if he or she is the spokesperson with all the info tongue.gif then wait for next person to post and cycle continues......

Any reason why some of you intend to buy without contract? Only reason I can see if for those on pre-paid or have got phobias about a contract. If you have been using and most likely will use the same telco for at least the next one year period, I don't see why a contract is viewed as an issue at all?
*
For me I'm very concern bout telco contract actually. Digi i138 if with contract I can get RM88 only per month. Now I'm paying RM138/mth while waiting iPhone 5 to launch.

it wasnt the ios4, but rather the screen+glass back which made me go breathless. such an awesome screen at that time. it was worth every single minute waiting at d launch in gardens midv. the iphones after that honestly didnt even make me go wow, apa lagi breathless...sigh. the final push was the iphone5. its a nice phone but nothin great compared to what i expect from apple.

but im not gonna b**** and complain like others. im just gonna vote with my money smile.gif
*
Nola I mean besides the iPhone 4 the iOS 4 was a WOW also that time. Both makes ppl feel worth every single cent they spend. Now iOS 6 and iPhone 5 dont had any big changes. But Still I will go buy dont know why....hahaha!! Any cure for this poison ah?

Anyway all judge is base on photo I never hold and seen only once iPhone 5 from far. Many says that once you get the chance to hold it you'll start loving it. Now I'm judging a books by its cover. Apple did lots of hardware changes...
