newbies here. I kinda keen upgrading to this iphone 6+ since the last phone I bought was nokia N8 doh.gif sweat.gif

loving the front edge curvy glass design then wrapped around with metal

the below feature kinda nice tho. I guess in the end, ppl choose/buy phone (or should i say smartphone) to suit their daily lifestyle

"Upgrading to the iPhone 6 family would be tempting, however, with Apple Pay. This new iOS feature streamlines the retail and online purchasing experience and takes advantages of the built-in near-field communication (NFC) chips and the TouchID fingerprint scanner. You need one of the newest iPhone 6 models to take advantage of it, which works via Passbook and generates secure codes for transactions."

I would say definately not original for that price  shakehead.gif . 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.

yes.. SGP price is fixed unless they have promo... All authorised resellers have to adhere to it. If u see someone selling cheaper than that, either they are not authorised reseller or it's fake. Being said so, a person still can sell original sgp case if they are getting stocks from a friend or the AR. They are not bound under the price adherence... This is what I was told previously when i enquire about the reselling rights.

haha.. ya.. our advise to consumers is.. buy ori..  if finds it too expensive, then go for cheaper brand. there are a lot of good quality brands for casing in the market which is affordable to all.

that's the thing.
kinda like the spigen Case Neo Hybrid black/red
total cost via FEDEX Int Eco is around USD 60 but MYR currency currently is not so strong doh.gif

I am at Sydney airport. They have all the iPhone 6 models here and no queue. Funny after I saw the people sleeping in queue in the city.

Could have bought one back to Malaysia but I prefer android smile.gif

My review after using the iPhone 6 since last Saturday, 20/9/2014.

1. Size wise, takes getting used to. I don't have large hands and feels odd when my thumb reaches for the nos for pincode. Now have resorted to fingerprint ID. For me, no more single handed use. Again, will take getting used to.
2. Battery - I would say it lasted me significantly longer compared to my iP5, despite meddling with it continuously.Thumbs up for me. Hate phones that won't last me the day.
3. Camera - focuses faster and quality is better than my iP5. Can't believe it took Apple till iOS8 before implementing timer. Front camera definitely would be attractive to those loving selfies, but personally, not wide angled enough for groupies/groufies .. whatever you call it  tongue.gif  Thumbs down for the front camera.

All in all, the hardware isn't much to shout about. The bigger screen does help a little bit with viewing. But iOS partially resolved that when I was using iP5 by allowing bolded text. That helps especially those who struggles with small words. Being thinner, I am now starting to wonder how much thinner it will get before it gets too flimsy to hold, especially when taking selfies.

But thumbs up for its build quality. Direct competition for latest HTC One. Samsung? Not there yet when it comes to craftmanship.

At the end of it, it boils down to package. iOS works well with the hardware, right from the very beginning of iPhone to current version. Can't say the same for other phone makers, which I have tried (HTC/Lumia/Sony). Sammy? No good reviews coming from my colleagues who uses mostly S3/S4.

thanks bro
