I would say definately not original for that price . You can try seeing for yourself. For SGP products, they have hologram sticker and an item id to very online if it is the original or not. But to be fair, quality of so called "Oem" could be quite near the original. Heck, it could have came out from the same production line.

In a way, it is good too as by doing so they wont need to buy from Scalpers.

On the other hand, they could be scalpers too.

IFags going to rage watching this.

Iphone 6 Drop Test

Actually he was the second. The first was the dude who qeued up In Sydney and got interviewed by the press and drop his brand new Iphone.

Well, it should be a memorable Iphone Buying experience for him.

This is Apple's strategy and business methods. Save and utilize whatever old parts left in their warehouse and when the later model launches (ie 6s) then will they upgrade to 2 GB ram and their marketing team will make a big hoo hah about their achievements.

Again, a lot of people could afford buying the iphone at that price. Worth it or not would depend on the individual him/herself. But the main question is would others be really be impressed with your wealth or rather laugh at your for paying that much extra just to get the Iphone a bit earlier than your peers. By latest a month, everybody else would be holding the same phone you paid thousands more for.

Yeah... like the old saying when the buying stops, the "hoarding" stops. If people keep paying more, it will motivate the hoarders/scalpers to keep trying to hoard more Iphone so as to resell and make profit. This would in turn cause a fake shortage everywhere. If one hoarder/scalper were to hold 10 units, then 10 genuine buyers will be deprived of their Iphones causing people to say that that are not enough iphones to go around while the reality is the stocks are being hoarded by someone.

I would say that more than half of the people who queued up at Apple stores, more than 50% are hoarders/scalpers.

Yeah true. But for Xiaomi the hoarders/scalpers were asking for about rm100 to max Rm200 more. Most of them were just asking for Rm100 more albeit the cheap Mi3 price. But Iphone scalpers are asking for Rm1k to Rm2k more from the original price. Eventhough most could afford paying for it, wouldn't it be dumb to pay so much more just to get the phone a month earlier?

And the cost of patience is Rm400 to Rm2000 + the opportunity to be labelled as being a dumb fag for paying so much more?

Woi bro.. buy 1 unit for me lar. But dont IScalp me please.

Agreed. Same here too.

Its called IScalper.

I thought we should not encourage scalping?

Yeah... me too. All I could summarize is..

1) Bigger phone aka Bigger Screen

2) A bit thinner

3) Maybe a bit lighter


Other than that its still the same. If its still on Ios7 I would really say its the same sh^$.

Yes it is. It's all about the money.

This is truly embarrassing. You only see Asians, most probably mainland Chinese queueing up and worst of all, they are all there to scalp. Look at the old woman first in line.

Why would Apple do that? Scalpers are actually creating a fake shortage of iPhones in the world and subsequently creating a high demand on iPhone because of IScalpers hoarding the stocks.

By the time it reaches Malaysia, every ifags in other parts of them world would have got bored with it already. No such problems. We are always one month late to receive the iPhone remember?


Help me buy 1 please. Since the store is opposite where you stay.

FEDEX or USPS lar bro.

I dont think so, unless you open the pakcage and inspect the phone at their stores. Thats why I prefer to open it at their stores during purchase. Anything can just ask for an exchange. Anyway, that is a bad gash.

Yup.. You need that in order for you to sit down comfortably on a chair.

Yes, all Apple Resellers requires you to pay first before opening the boxes. Especially if its the Iphone.

Thats is fair enough. If they would allow a refund, take a picture of the item and go to consumer's tribunal to complain.

That is only Celcom who did a grand launching at Sunway Pyramid. If Im not mistaken, the first 5s to be handed out was on 12am on the 1of Nov. Yes, it was a midnight and I was there.
