Guess what, it's not even a problem for Apple cos they are cashing in DING DING DING *dollar sounds* no one's forcing anyone to buy anyway lol it's obviously a business and marketing strategic decision.

And to add, that guy is choosing the HTC One M8, which performed the worst in Consumer Reports bend test. LOL

Article here: http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/news/20...dgate/index.htm

So tempting! But the camera shutter sound sure does bother me. I just don't want any sound when I take pictures lol


P.S. - Not a pervert or anything

So do you mind explaining how it is Apple's problem then? From what I see, it's even cheaper now to have a 64gb than last year.

As to the bendgate issue (which is absolutely ridiculous), well we have to account for the sales of M8 first, and compare it to Apple (10million units in its first week). So far, the official statistics is 9 formal complaints out of 10million units. I would assume M8 sales in units is definitely not even close to half of Apple.

Then let's talk.

Ooops sorry my friend, didn't mean to offend you. I was challenging you. Anyway my point is that all issues thrown right now on Apple are overblown (except iOS 8.0.1 which is a major fark up).

Not just iPhones, if we try googling "hair/lint/dust under the screen or bezel" or something similar it would yield more android phones LOL.

Obvs, everything has been blown out of proportion, when in fact, it has happened to other phones as well.

And I can list down many more. There's even one article here that an ANT crawled through and under the Note 10 screen LOL. ANTGATE anyone?

Chill people, all the past issues with other phones are now being overblown and directed to Apple. Cheers!

No internet connection required, madam.

Hmmm I doubt it's an iOS problem, because singtel simcard works. And anyway even if it is a software issue, they fixed it with 8.0.2.

Have you tried other simcard other than the Maxis? Maybe the simcard is faulty?

You can also double-check if it really is unlocked, key-in the IMEI number here: http://iphoneimei.info/

But it should be unlocked, it's SG set.

You're right though, I've read that some users in Australia still got that problem.

However, if he said that Singtel sim works, then it's definitely not an iOS problem anymore. The issue above with the 8.0.2 pertains to the carrier/network sim taken at entirety and not just selective networks like the guy's problem above.

Is this for me? I have known this since Thursday.

I'm on iOS 8.0, so far I haven't encountered any problems, except that it's draining a little faster than before. The issue is negligible though, as now I can track battery usage in the Settings.

The iOS 8.0.1 was the problematic one, which they pulled out an hour later. Patched it up with 8.0.2 and supposedly fixed all the issues. But still got problem in Australia lol.

Are you kidding me, that's so cheap! Thinking now hmmmm after 5% discount it's just RM2184.

Would we know where the phones came from? I'm fine with SG/Aus set, just not Japan lol.

There you go, I asked Dialog Hub where their iPhones are coming from. US/Aus/SG sets.

Singapore just the same 3-pin lor. Australia 3-pin also but different style of pin

I've been thinking for 3 days now LOL or should I wait for official release. I have previous iPhones bought from US and SG and never had to claim warranty. Should I push my luck?

Wow u oredi got but getting another one? Not so sure about the delivery dates, because I might go outside of Malaysia next week, no one to claim. If walk-in can at Dialog Hub then I can buy now.

Oh I see it slipped my mind lol. That's correct, gotta buy thru Lazada then. Or not. I don't know

Oh I see, ok PM me for details lol!

Warranty of course, is not international, except if you have Applecare. Please correct me if I'm mistaken.

Camera shutter sound cannot be turned off for Japan and Korea sets. If that doesn't bother you then go ahead.

Definitely with Amazon can. All of my phone accesories are bought from Amazon and eBay.

For Apple US online store, they said only US-issued credit cards are allowed, but somehow my Dad's purchase went through. You just need to change the billing address to a US address.
