QUOTE(Dinghydoggy @ Oct 23 2014, 02:57 PM) Warranty is a concern though. Just so you know, AppleCare+ (which is the only AppleCare available for iPhones) isn't recognized in Malaysia (and most 2nd/3rd world countries) - the service centers simply won't take your device if it's above the 1 year warranty period. From what I understand, it's most useful if you are in (or spend a lot of time) in North America. If you live (or spend a lot of time) in Europe, it's slightly less useful mainly because EU regulations require all electronic devices to provide a minimum of 2 years of warranty (so your 2 year AppleCare+ is basically 1 year only). I'm not 100% sure about AppleCare+ in Singapore, so it "might" still be worth getting if you don't mind heading down to SG for warranty claims, etc.But on second thought, the money I save from buying in the States could be spent on AppleCare, which gives me International Warranty for an extra two years.

QUOTE(andyyap @ Oct 23 2014, 03:13 PM) manage to see the real Iphone6 in Singapore.. I were say, best in quality! I was sold into upgrading my 5 to 6 when i inspected an iphone 6 on my flight, the guy sitting next to me had an iphone 6!Firstly was thought nothing special on iPhone 6 design, but during my visit, i am surprisingly tempted to get one. The most attractive part will be the material use on the front screen, i have no ideal what it called. But the shining material on from t screen really make the phone look more elegance and premium looks. Another good design from Apple. Cheers! will definitely get one soon. The iphone 6 really looks much much better in person compared to pictures online |

QUOTE(cyian @ Oct 23 2014, 03:16 PM) Thanks mate.. you do have a point.. it is cheaper to get from the states & i can use tat money i saved to purchase applecare After comparing the price with estimate launch price it's almost the same.. Although RM currency is strong these days but the rate banks use is high QUOTE(Connect2USales @ Oct 23 2014, 03:43 PM) apple care for iPhone is not available in Malaysia.. but if you managed to buy one in other countries, then your iPhone will have international warranty as Apple Care is international. The problem is although all apple warranty is supposed to be international but in Msia we don't have an in house shop/service centre operated by Apple themselves. So most if not all the authorized service centre here will reject warranty claims even if with Apple Care + |

QUOTE(biatch0 @ Oct 23 2014, 01:41 PM) To be fair... about 10-15 years ago, we used to pay almost the same amount of money for flagship phones... where the new feature was "white LED light" or "magnesium alloy casing"... talking about the 8850 era. Bought my N95 8GB when it first came out for RM3K..that's the my most expensive phone ever..LOL.. |

Surely they're more flexible now with people globe trotting everywhere for work and studies and stuff. |

One said Singapore will recognise Apple care + but another said from his personal experience is no Apple needs to rephrase their warranty terms and give proper guidelines to authorised dealers & service centres |

QUOTE(poi2005 @ Oct 23 2014, 04:13 PM) i'm not quite sure bout that but maybe in terms of australia apple center does provide international warranty while singapore set don't, they had to accept the warranty only for australian citizen in case the phone spoil when they traveling oversea. just my 2cent. but i've contacted australia service center via online chat, they do suggest me to go to QCD and machines for warranty claim. tried to claim at Machines KLCC but they said they didnt cover and need to send back to australia. |
