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?

Well.. some people just cant wait.. lets put it that way..

Some just like the chance to show off.. It's a few hundreds RM difference, can show off, why not. That person is not me la. I no money!

Hmm, no doubt stated 5.5" for Iphone 6+, but the actual phone is 6" right compared with those 5.5" like G3, Oppo 7, OPO etc?

So for the 4.7" Iphone 6, it most likely will be around 5".

Apple is crafty when marketing these 2 phones. 6 is for those basic users I guess, whereas 6+ with better camera, OIS and bigger battery will attract those who are wanting more.

I'm loving my 5S camera and feel 5S can still hold up after the IOS8 upgrade.

There's a joke saying that those who plan to upgrade their Iphones should follow the upgrade path of:

1. Those who are on 4 should upgrade to 5 and 6 and 7 etc.
2. Those who are on 4S should upgrade to 5S and 6S and 7S etc.

Imagine what would 6S+ bring

+1.. I rather wait n see... Cos 1st batch normally will have higher chance of glitches ... Remember ip5? First batch got a lot of aesthetic issues where the gray colour paint is off .. Then 5s also have some issues..
I rather wait..

lol iPhone 4? I think its 4 years ago??

I just want to share my experience, it depends u believe or not, sg apple online store set claimable at msia, don't care about the international warranty one, at least I successful to claim what I want.

thats ur opinion...for those rich,they dont mind to get it by pay premium price tag for it..
on the other way saying,u/we are sour grapes for not getting it...

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.

I definitely will buy this time! I've been waiting for a bigger screen iPhone and it's out now yay! Using iPhone 4 now and can feel the lag

Ppl driving BMW will care their petrol usage?Same applied here,i agreed on claiming warranty is hassle for customer hence luckily i understand the situation faced by them and always provided claiming warranty services...price is always a concern when some new product coming in and demands are higher than supply.So,who willing to pay for it will get it,who dun wish to pay,juz wait for market saturated,no harm at all..
As i posted buying back price tag for those exporter in sg,I can say that first batch of iphone 6 mainly are exported to China market for those who willing to pay...If malaysia is the first batch launching for iphone,i think u will become scalper too to fetch a high price....So,every year September is the month that telco consumer can earn little bit of profit from their iphone...

There are a lot of people who has money and is willing..

If there are buyer who willing to pay then of cos there are sellers, as long as both of them are happy, no harm

Y do china ppl need to pay more when they are the first batch country? I understand last time they will do that.. But now..

But it's true.. The reason why there are scalpers is because there are demands so u can't blame those sellers too. It's just some ppl wanted to be the first one to have it... For those who have worries like myself, then just wait Lo.. If u have friends who got it early.. Then u have a point of reference on the phone..

Not this time. China wasn't announced as a first-tier country this year, supposedly due to regulatory issues.

which explains why 2nd tier launch is so soon after 19th.

China not even in second release

26th Sept which should be second country list
Switzerland, Italy, New Zealand, Sweden, Netherlands, Spain, Denmark, Ireland, Norway, Luxembourg, Russia, Austria, Turkey, Finland, Taiwan, Belgium, Portugal

what I meant was the extra stock meant for China can be distributed to others lol

I will not be surprised if Apple did not get regulatory approval for iphone 6 in China at all. The phone have the ability to collect too much data for the chinese to be comfortable. Maybe they tried saving some dummy info on the iphone and the americans acted according to the dummy info hence proving there is a back door .
It will be very good news for us in Malaysia because we will be getting it sooner if China stalls, even if HK can supply the Mainland market i doubt the phones can actually be usable on chinese networks without regulatory approval.
