It's been tested to work with the Spigen Neo Hybrid and the Apple Leather Case, according to his Facebook page. But not tested with the Tough Armour yet.

It'll probably work fine with the Spigen Ultra Hybrid as well, fingers crossed.

Why still no email from maxis

Hi,

Just had a chat with my friend a premium reseller, 16GB plenty but 64GB and 128GB going to be very VERY limited in stock
As usual this is what I heard so I just pass it on

YES, Finally my casing has arrived from Japan. Just in time for the launch next week.
Now I need to get the iphone6. Hopefully Digi or Maxis reply to my registration of interest

OK set to US and I can add card but unfortunately both my Citibank and CIMB Malaysia Credit card not supported

Great phone. But Sony's 6 months refresh cycle means there is a Z4 by Feb or Mar 2015. Of course, that's pretty irrelevant if resale value is not important to you. I have a friend who bought the Z2 weeks before the Z3 launched and hasn't stopped cursing...

Based on the Latest IPAD AIR 2 which comes with a similar A8X processor and 2GB Ram, it would be VERY certain that the next model of the Iphone which will be the 6S will certainly follow suit with 2GB of RAM.

This is a valid concern, but personally I am guessing that the app store approval process would have some policies that state apps must be at least support a few generations back. Personally, I feel they would at least keep every generation usable for at least 3 years.

At the very least, with the lesson I learnt with my iphone 4, the strategy that I am adopting is to never update to the next revision of iOS until I do not hear complaints of slowness. Apps that take advantage of the bigger RAM, tends to require the same iOS version as the same gen iphone that will be released in THAT year. So iOS 9 will be released for the iPhone 6s.

So, apps that are optimized for iOS 9 will likely face slowdown if they run on iOS 8.

iOS 4 - iPhone 4
iOS 5 - iPhone 4s
iOS 6 - iPhone 5


Just take a look at your own experience with your past iPhones. When was the first point that you started feeling some degradation is speed? Is it when the next major OS comes?

My personal experience is things started getting decidedly slower when I jumped from iOS 4 to iOS 5. It wasn't enough to make you hate the phone, but when the phone reaches it's 4th year of service for me, It's whatsapp and spotify slowness that pushed me over.

The solution ? Don't upgrade to the next major iOS ? Really ? But then you start worrying about the security implications. Outdated iOS are more vulnerable. So tech users have to upgrade in fear of their phone systems being exploited. This is the reality. Pick your poison : Vulnerable phone, or just take a slight hit in performance?

Thanks slickz for the good input. That's very helpful indeed

I've never owned iPhone but if history is of any indication, iDevices have longer lifecycle than Android devices. OEMs like Samsung don't seem to spend much efforts in managing the longetivity of their devices, I saw my friend's SGS4 has become incredibly laggy (despite the spec that is still good by today standard) and that's really sad.

The reason I'm raising this concern is that I feel Apple deliberately holding back the 2GB RAM this time round even they can do it without adding much manufacturing cost, and this is slightly disappointing.

iOS is probably more memory efficient than Android but 2GB definitely sounds more future proof considering the demand of the apps these days. Look at the gap below courtesy of BGR



Seems like iPad Air 2 has created quite some gap and makes iPhone 6 look rather "last gen"

Unfortunately, Apple's strategy makes perfect business sense. And business is what drives them to design and innovate in the first place.

People who want value for money should never go Apple - but people who want solid product experiences should.

+1, if u always complain that apple should do this and that, u can never like apple.

I beg to differ

This is a forum which should embrace different ideas and opinions. I can still make constructive opinions regardless it's apple product or avocado products. Liking Apple products doesn't mean I have to worship them all the time like a fanboy without my own idea

even I end up buying it, I can still openly talk about it's pros and cons and that's the beauty of this forum

Well said!

Holy shiat .... dat benchmark..... I heard A8x was fast but I didn't expect it to be THAT fast.



It's hard to say la these kinds of things, solid experience, value for money are all different ideas to different people. If your current situation is a student from a middle income family, you have different priorities on where you spend your money so cheaper phone = value for money.

So value for money means something else compared to the working class single gentleman who needs a phone with a robust system that can handle multiple whatsapp group conversations discussing on work related issues, while juggling his online relationship with a potential gf. The value you get from a good phone handling complicated tasks can bring different returns, tangible or intangible.
