Lazada now selling 16gb i6 @2299 and extra 5% off using Mastercard. Pity those who bought a week earlier.

Are you kidding me, that's so cheap! Thinking now hmmmm unsure.gif unsure.gif 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.

Likely to be Japan, if it's Singapore/Hong Kong/Australia, it's below cost

For that price, its could be from everywhere. But these units are sold by Dialog Hub and its quite a reputable dealer. However with this price sold and stocks take 5 to 8 days delivery, my guess is either they are sourcing from some country which is selling the iphone at the lowest price Eg Japan or they are hoping Malaysia will launch and they sell it to you at the exact RRP at Rm2399.

Nope. You wont know from the outlook of the box the phone itself. Unless it is Telco Sim Locked when you insert a sim of your choice.

Got my phone yesterday and I think this 6+ deserve my 10 mins to write her a short review. I had been using iOS since iPhone 5, a convert from Android. Previously was using a so-called behemoth, Dell Streak 5" which I believe is mother of all phablet.

Pros:
1. Display. Large 1080p with excellent color and viewing angle. 3rd party apps look bad but I believed will look good once updated. Youtube, Whatsapp, FB messenger, Pulse, etc, PLEASE UPDATE ASAP I'M BEGGING YOU
2. Endurance. 8 hours screen on usage no issue, can easily stretch to 10 hours. Beat the crap out of 5/5s even with huge display the size of 5/5s body itself.
3. Design. Ergonomic wise, curved body provides better grip due to higher contact surface compared to previous boxy design. Sure doesnt look as good as previous gen but I prefer ergonomic over aesthetic. Curved edge also improved usability and comfort compared to 5/5s.
4. Weight. Weight distributed quite evenly and doesnt feel significantly heavier compared to 5/5s in pants. Did make my hand feel cramped during single hand operation though. Need to lift more.
5. iSight. OIS and focus pixel seem quite effective but no noticeable gain in sufficient lighting.
6. Loud speaker. Not stereo but good enough. Really loud and doesnt distort at maximum volume.
7. Space grey 6+ look awesome naked. Agree?

Cons:
1. Protruding camera. For those going commando, this is bad. Like having a hard-on at nude beach.
2. Heat. Warm up a bit even during browsing. In some sense, actually good meant heat dissipate fast but not good for comfort.
3. No gain in OS. iOS 8 does not fully utilized the big display yet, no big advantage over smaller sibling 6/5s/5. No dual windows multitasking etc. Everything just look bigger, that's it.
4. Apps compatibility. Most apps not updated yet and look like designed for people with bad eyesight. Everything scaled up and nasty.
5. Aggressive noise reduction. Fixable via update but at the moment seem like Apple going Sony way of NR, turning noise into blotchy watercolor painting. Booooo
6. Taking picture with 6+ feel awkward. I guess need to get use to it.
7. Single handed operation. Possible but dangerous. But phablet not really designed for single handed usage anyway so dont whine.

Not to scare anyone here, but those are third-party sellers in Lazada right?

Seems a bit risky. You wouldn't want your cash to be locked with them, then they delay for 2-3 months, and end up say 'Sorry, we can't fulfill the offer' and refund your money then, and just like that they got free interest-free loan from you. Other sites (I will not name as it's all accusations by their customers) have been known to have this modus operandi.

Havent finished 1 cycle but so far impressed me. Based on my current projection, can easily last 48 hours standby with 8 hours screen-on usage.

Based on my usage patterns, my iPhone 6 seems to last quite a bit longer than my previous 5S. Can't wait to get my hands on the Plus to try out the Plus's battery.

I actually ordered 4x iPhone 6 but for flipping laugh.gif Intended to use one for myself but after playing with display unit, seem like no noticeable gain over 5s except for slightly larger display.
