QUOTE(attw @ Oct 10 2014, 06:57 PM) Another day, another reminder why I can't wait to ditch my Android and return to iOS.. Agreed, after the recent news about Android vulnerability, a friend of mine doesn't even dare to do any online banking transactions on his Note 3 anymore, but only on his iPhone 5S.http://www.stuff.tv/my/android/nearly-half...owser-flaw/news QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Oct 10 2014, 07:02 PM) Its just speculation, I dont think he has anything to lose anyway. If not launched then, he will just say, well, they delayed it for another week bla bla, etc. LOL. Standard salesman tactics. |

QUOTE(benny888 @ Oct 11 2014, 02:57 PM) Finally got my ip6+ from plaza lowyat for rm3850 (64gb spore set). I got quotes from rm3850 till rm3999 Wow. Low Yat Plaza pricing is quite reasonable already. What colour you got, Uncle Benny?Immediate impressions ergonomic wise is bad as for a 5.5 inch display, it's size is even slightly bigger than my LG G Pro2 ( 6 in display). One doesn't feel secure holding it. Temporary got a back case to protect it It is not as smooth vs my previous ip5. I will update the firmware later to see any improvement Btw, welcome to the iPhone 6 Plus Family! |

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Oct 11 2014, 03:26 PM) Some of the aps are not optimized for the Iphone 6 and 6 Plus yet, hence the slight hiccup in smoothness on the phone. 1GB does probably affect usability too. But as we know, Apple will reserve the 2 or 3GB RAM upgrade for next year. I would like to think that this would be the explanation for this issue but could it be because of the small 1GB ram on board? QUOTE(benny888 @ Oct 11 2014, 03:27 PM) It shows some lag even scrolling among screens Their mail app is mostly unusable for me as Gmail accounts do not support push notifications using the iOS mail app. And it comes w latest 8.02 already!! Safari still lousy as before ...now installing atomic n mercury as replacement Mail app great improvement as now all mail immediately download unlike previous ios7 version need to wait |

QUOTE(jackdon @ Oct 11 2014, 03:28 PM) It would be great to get more hands review from Uncle Benny, my ip6+ 128GB will be here Monday from Perth. I always had this though that the ip6+ has twice as much pixel as the ip6 so it definitely needs more GPU power to drive those pixel and also more memory. Well hopefully it will not be too noticeable. I'm using my iPhone 6 Plus and iPhone 6 side by side and yes, unfortunately, the difference in fluidity is rather noticeable at times. jackdon |

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Oct 11 2014, 03:32 PM) To tell you guys the truth which many of you here wont wanna hear, my One Plus One with Cyanogen Mod CM11s is way smoother than both my Iphone 6 and 6 plus in terms of fluidity and app switching. I've owned OPO and HTC One M8 before and yes, it is very true. I don't mind though. Still happy with iOS. But other potential buyers take note! |

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Oct 11 2014, 03:36 PM) Thats is why my excitement for the Iphone 6/ 6 plus faded away almost 2 days after owning the phone. To be fair, android is really getting better and is comparable to IOS in performance. I still remember laughing at my friends's samsung with lagdroid during Iphone 4 and 5 times. But now, times have changed and so has the technology. Yeah. Probably iPhone 6 users won't notice as much. But the 6 Plus's graphic frame-rate is quite poor especially when app-switching. Perhaps the included dual-core also isn't enough anymore. |

QUOTE(benny888 @ Oct 11 2014, 04:08 PM) Despite what some users had commented I don't find any issue with font sizes on whatsapp Hi Uncle. I prefer to utilize one of iOS 8's unique feature, which is Dynamic Text Sizing.It looks very nice to me I normally prefer my text smaller on a large screen phone to fully utilise / maximise screen space. If you want to try, go to Settings -> Display & Brightness -> Text Size. I set my iPhone 6 Plus to the second-smallest Text Size on the slider. Apps like iOS Message, third-party apps like Telegram (which are already optimised for 6 Plus) look really awesome as the entire app is dynamically changed too. Now, we got to wait for WhatsApp and many other apps to do the same. |

QUOTE(nas @ Oct 12 2014, 09:56 PM) I feel the Apple original keyboard is better than the 3rd party ones. It is pretty accurate enough for me. I never bothered with 3rd Party keyboards on iOS after I read that there is no 'spacebars to auto-complete suggested word' function. But the iOS keyboard has that function, and also Swiftkey on my Android phones.Not sure if Apple is preventing 3rd Party keyboards from enabling that function, or the 3rd party keyboards still need further updating / development. |

QUOTE(benny888 @ Oct 13 2014, 11:10 AM) I had successfully used this program " Backuptrans Android WhatsApp to iPhone Transfer " to transfer all my Android whatsapp messages ( totalling about 2GB data ) over to my iphone 6+ Wow. This is a good find! Started off testing trial version - only 20 messages limit The program cost US$19.95+US$5.95 for Windows version while the MAC version costs US$24.95+US$6.95 I bought the MAC version The total time to transfer over took me about 15 mins http://www.backuptrans.com/android-whatsap...e-transfer.html Rather pricey it seems, but it provides seamless way to backup between Android and iOS. Good for gadget-lover who always switch between iOS and Android like myself too. |

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Oct 13 2014, 06:14 PM) I was informed the arrival date would be definately be November. Once source from an Apple Reseller and the other from Maxis and these people were quite confident about it. Yup. Standby to take leave in November this year. Already too close to mid-October now already so most likely will be launched in November. |

QUOTE(attw @ Oct 13 2014, 08:05 PM) I think going by the high standards you set for your gadgets, I have a feeling the iPhone 6 Plus won't pass the test either, especially not now when apps are not optimised and ios 8.0.2 still buggy Agree with you. I reckon it would take at least 3-6 months for all major developers AND Apple themselves to get their apps (and iOS itself) up to speed especially for the iPhone 6 Plus. |
