For those wondering if one-handed keyboard use is possible with an iPhone 6 Plus, here's a photo I just shot of my iPhone 6 Plus without any case. Notice that my thumb is able to reach all the way to the 'Q' key with no issues. biggrin.gif

abang shockk, care to share your experience? hehe

Haha. For me, iPhone 6 Plus only wins the iPhone 6 in terms of battery life. The additional screen size of the Plus you get when you sacrifice the handling / smaller size of the 6. I didn't actually feel the screen size difference, but perhaps this is attributed to many apps which are still not optimised for the Plus yet. nod.gif

Remember to make yourself a nice cuppa to put in your thermos to bring along when queuing up for the iPhone 6 at its Malaysian launch. brows.gif

For fellow iPhone 6 Plus and iPhone 6 users who are using the GMail app, good news! There's an update in the App Store which supports the new iPhone resolutions. Awesome! thumbup.gif

Now, WhatsApp... we are still waiting for you. sweat.gif

Same to me, one hand user most the time.
Why Apple dont put the same specs (Screen resolution & camera) in iPhone 6 as well?

Of course Apple won't do it. They are not stupid.
You put same reso, cam, battery in iPhone 6 similar to what the 6 Plus has, I can bet you 90% of buyers will just buy the iPhone 6.

Haha life must be syok syok one....

Sometimes it's more fun in the waiting and reading the news. I'm taking my sweet time reviewing cases and watching youtube videos of the damn thing.

Maybe if we are patient, the units that will finally arrive malaysia are the ones that apple had secretly reinforced the internal metal frame structure. Look around for the video that I posted, there got show the weak internal point that's probably causing bendgate.

One post I read revealed that apple is taking in customers bent phones in their early field fault assessment program.

Wishful thinking is good. Good to be hopeful.

But IMHO, Apple is not that kind. blush.gif

Like what happended with Antennagate of the iPhone 4. They only fixed the issue with the iPhone 4S.
So, perhaps you could wait for the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6 Plus S, and maybe no more bending by then. laugh.gif

Im still having doubts. But definately getting another set from Maxis, since I need to renew my contract. What should I get now ? Hmmm hmm.gif

You said the magic word, bro! rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

To renew my Maxis contract. blush.gif

Let's just hope there's enough stocks to go around for all iPhone 6 / 6 Plus variants on launch day. brows.gif

More likely that it's for iPhone 6 indeed.

Wanna know why?

Because there's official announcement of Note 4 launch already - October 15th.

The only mystery left is for the iPhone 6 launch. brows.gif

IMO, after using the iPhone 6 Plus for more than a week, I can say that if I use it averagely (probably around 3-3.5 hours SOT - self-counted tongue.gif), I would only need to charge it about once a day. notworthy.gif
This is my battery log:-

Grey set price is going down very fast. hand itchy but the warranty thingy is holding me up. i'm cursed with apple products.
ip4 > home button after 6 mths.
ip5 > power button after 1 mth. wasted rm60 screen protector.
ipad > home button after almost 1 year, still in time for warranty. best thing is i mostly use gesture to close app. home button rarely use.
macbook > a vertical dead pixel line from top to bottom, right after my 1 year warranty period expired.

based on exp i rather wait for a local warranty set but yea i still prefer iOS.  laugh.gif
*
Wow. Kinda jinxed. Better wait then for local launch! Not that far away.
But IIANM, the home button has been vastly improved ever since Apple added in TouchID. Have never actually heard of home-button failures / defects anymore since iPhone 5S onwards (or it could be very very rare). hmm.gif

bro.. 1 question... how do u find using 6 plus as a tablet function? will it able to replace day to day task of using iPad?
*
Still feels like a phone to me, bro. But there are a few iPhone 6 Plus-optimized apps such as iOS Calendar which really works well utilizing the additional screen space compared to the iPhone 6 / iPhone 5S. Also IMO, the iPhone 6 Plus is still not that different than the iPhone 6 in usability just yet (with exception to the battery life).

Anyway, the iPhone 6 Plus may make the iPad Mini seem rather redundant, but I suppose you will still enjoy surfing, picture browsing, working on / referring on business documents - a LOT more on the iPad Air compared to the iPhone 6 Plus.

Just my 2 cents from a non-tablet fan. I still prefer to use a laptop anytime for proper work. I tried using the iPad as a workhorse before and it was hilariously incapable (for me needs). laugh.gif

to me, it's a stupid thing to let One Club for priority anything. Not against anyone but don't think it's practised in the US. everyone gets the same treatment afaik.

Agree. But perhaps Maxis did it last year as a means to reduce the crowd due to limited stock.

Heck, they might even do it again this time since the stocks are even more limited, especially for iPhone 6 Plus. Imagine if all of us lined up, and only iPhone 6, and not Plus are available at launch day. That would be a BIG bummer! sweat.gif

I'm using iPad mini with retina display for my everyday work. (since I'm running a full time online store) Replying emails, Facebook, news, LYN, etc. are part of my everyday routine.

apart from 6 plus which I'm going to get once launched, i also using xperia Z ultra (6.4-inches). So i was wondering if I can sell off my mini and use 6 plus as my everyday driver? I use my MBP in the office. Also planned to get a bt keyboard for 6 plus since the on board keyboard will take up half the screen right?

Oh, if you use the 6 Plus only for those items, I guess you should be fine. Though if I were you, I'd still keep the Mini as the screen area is still vastly bigger - less stress to use. brows.gif

Relax. Its just that Maxis didnt seem to have enough stocks to go around. Thats why with previous Iphone 5s, they only catered to existing users as their stocks were limited to the extent some one club members didnt even get their phones. Luckily I got it.  tongue.gif

Correct. Many MOC members did not get the iPhone 5S variant they wanted.

I would predict that the situation would be far worse this year for the iPhone 6 launch - unless of course they launch it in December 2014.

Just had Nilkin Glass SP installed onto my iPhone 6 Plus by bro ping325. The edge of the Glass SP towards the Touch ID area is 'curved-in' rather than 'straight-down' like on the Glass SP (Nilkin) for iPhone 6. Looks somewhat better now. biggrin.gif
