What did I say in my post that is spreading misinformation?

If Apple says "unlocked",there is a reason for stating so isnt it?

As you said it is a "theory". So for buyers to be safe in buying an "unlocked" version of an Iphone, it is better for them to search for this word "unlocked" on the website or through the reseller they are buying the iphone just to be sure and safe that the set they are buying is indeed an unlocked set.

At first I laughed at Ifags scrambling to buy the latest IPhone but later I joined in the bandwagon. The experience is called the IPhone Buying experience where it is only encountered if you queued yourself in the line at any Apple stores with all the other IFags and managed to get the model you want. Unable to get one also is part of the experience where you have to hang out here in getting the latest news to which Apple Store has the IPhone in stock. I do not agree to buying from scalpers at crazily expensive prices while getting an overseas unit which you would have problem in claiming later. Where is the fun in getting an IPhone like that. But that is me, different people may have different views on this. So far I have been lucky in getting my IPhone 4, 4S, 5 and 5S from Telcos, Apple Online Stores and Apple Resellers without much difficulties. I still remember an experience where a lot of people were looking at the Signboard in front of an Apple Reseller (couldn't remember its name) in Gardens stating no stock for all IPhone 5s and I got nearer and whipped out my 32GB 5S Gold and took a picture of the signboard. All I could say was the feeling was like a MasterCard moment, Priceless.

Mind posting the email here? I think that's fair. So that everyone would have the opportunity to buy one.

You mean they cancelled only one of your two IPhones ordered? U will still be getting One unit right? This is good in preventing scalpers from hoarding extra IPhones and reselling it at crazy markup price.

Wow... that's really a good IPhone buying experience.

I still remember here last year, at Celcom's IPhone 5s Launch in Sunway, the first in line walked away with a Free IPhone 5s while the rest who queued up got a discount or something.

If batang sure reject lot, unless Chun chick with 'let half ball' then different case.
Jokes aside, there is no international warranty for the iphone no matter from which country you buy from. I also check with a senior management from a local authorized apple reseller and they confirm the same. To believe it or not its up to you.

Yeah.. Why pay more for an overseas set which have no warranty locally just to have the iphone about a month earlier than the official local unit? Why want to pay more for something and encourage hoarding and scalping by certain parties?

I always get my iphones on the first day they are available here. I just don't like 'foreign' units which is a hassle when we need to claim warranty. Moreover MY units always fetches a higher resale value if you decide to sell it.
Maybe the 'sour grapes' would be the scalpers who again like I said hoards the stocks of the iphones in making profits at the expense of genuine would be buyers.

Relax bro. All of us old timers knows that the fact that Iphones doesn't come with international warranty. I think most owners would know that but if they still insists on buying some overseas unit and would they need to RMA, they can always try their luck.

That is the point. Same policy applies for all hand phone manufacturers out there. If not everybody would be importing their own handphones here.

Yup. Agreed can fit. Like my OPO though, it does fit in my jeans nicely but when I sit in the car, its gets not so comfortable. You would need either the top or bottom of the phone jutting out of your pocket. If not the phone feels cramped in your pocket. With the 6+, which is longer in length, I think it would be even harder to sit down with the phone in your jeans pocket.

Wakakakakakkakaka....

I see the marketplace here at LYN is already flooded with IPhone scalpers selling their yet to be received Iphone 6 and 6+. Even end users are buying and scalping their iphones for profits. Seems like everybody wants to scalp and get a piece of the "apple" pie.

Apple should thank all hoarders @ scalpers in achieving those sales figures.

Its all about the money. We don't command such high volume purchases compared to the first tier countries.

Go get yourself some relief by getting the 5S first kid. The Note 1 is meant for display in the museum, not for human usage anymore.

Its all about the money. Singaporeans have better buying power and are more willing to buy and Iphone compared to Malaysians. Its about the numbers Apple will be able to sell here compared to Singapore. So if we have low demand, they are definitely not going to launch here but rather at at any country which they can sell more.

Send to outside dealers to change. Lotsa dealers can do battery change for Iphone nowadays. Why bother when the phone is no more under warranty?

They told me those are all ori parts. But I dont know how to differentiate. But I see their technicians open up the iphone for repairs like opening peanuts only.
