I'm really hoping you are kidding, my friend.

What exactly is your deal? It's called PRE-CHECK. And what exactly did you put in there anyway, just your name, mobile number, IC and email address, right? So how were you subjected to unnecessary scrutiny then? It's like when you withdraw money from ATM, it asks for your PIN, and then it will check if you have enough balance to withdraw.

They have to actually check whether you are eligible for an upgrade, or if you're a new customer, then it will go through another channel for new applications.

Testing to see what Maxis like to put their customers through? They didn't even go through anything! Just a PRE-CHECK! Geez, you're so butthurt about an ROI? Really?

Like mentioned as a customer, I just dont like to be put into these kind of situations. I think we have our rights to be scrutinized or not and I dont think I should be subjected to this. This is called business. If I dont like the predicament Im going through, then I simply dont deal. Simple as that? Butthurt? Why are you so butthurt about my preference and view?

This is based on personal needs and interests. I already have both. tongue.gif But I do prefer the 6 over the 6+ due to the 6 's smaller size. thumbup.gif

What situations are you talking about, they just asked for your name, email and mobile number LOL. You know what ROI and PRE-CHECK means right? Because I'm not quite sure what exactly you are subjected to, as you said. They didn't even ask you if you have money LOL.

And you're right, it's called business. You know, where they actually try to sell you goods in return of money, but if you don't have money then they are entitled to not sell you the phone. You know, eligibility.

Predicament? There is no predicament here, my friend. You're making the ROI an issue when in fact, there really is no issue at all. LOL go figure.

Oh I'm the least butthurt here, I'm perfectly fine. It's just that I have low tolerance for pointless arguments like this doh.gif Good luck sir, with your ROI and hopefully you won't be subjected to unnecessary scrutiny (your words, not mine lol).

Cheers!

Doesn't matter. Pointless to debate over arguments like this. You have your views and I have mine. So lets keep it that way. thumbup.gif

Stop being a drama queen la. Maxis is trying their best to improve the buying experience and some people just cannot stop b1tching about every single thing!! Gosh! You're like a 40 yrs old aunty tongue.gif
*
Improving the buying experience? doh.gif I think their marketing team should be taken to task for making lifes of so many impatient Iphone 6/ 6+ buyers' life even more difficult. They should just go down with an ROI and select those who registered first based on the availability of the first batch of stocks.

Nevertheless, I will sit back and enjoy the "show". Wait till you see impatient buyers here "b****" about their inability to secure one unit and that will be real soon.

Bro, if im not mistaken, you were active in the past Iphone 5 and Iphone 5s discussions. Takkan you tak tahu queue untuk ipong. Feels like you are testing me jer. laugh.gif

To answer your question Yes, I think Celcom would have an event like last year at their Flagship store at Sunway Pyramid and I was there with a friend on the 12am launch.

I did for the 5s and Maxis did gave me one. If Im not mistaken, only MOC customers got their phones through preorder that round. Even that not all MOC customers got it.

Hey everyone! Can I please ask some questions? smile.gif

1. Is 16gb iPhone 6 enough for normal usage? I don't really play games but takes lots of pics only.

2. Is it true that the Apple software alone takes half of the memory space?

Hope to hear a reply soon from you guys! Thanks. biggrin.gif

QUOTE(crazyguy152 @ Oct 22 2014, 09:55 PM)
Ok cool. smile.gif

1. How frequent are the updates per year?

2. So 16gb enough for pics and 1/2 games? Haha..
*
It all depends on how much data (pictures, songs, videos, apps, games etc) you are going to bring over to the iphone 6. If you check your current iphone 5 or 5s for how much space left, it would be similar to what you have on the iphone6/ 6+ when you restore your data to the new phone.
Updates would depend on how frequent Apple needs to patch up its latesr ios. I would say with the 8, its been pretty frequent. We are on 3rd update since ios 8 was introduced.

2 questions before the arrival of ip6:

1. how to do u guys sync photos? normal itunes sync enough?

2. how do u guys transfer whatsapp/sms history from old iphone to new iphone?
*
1)Itunes is in your pc. Why would it be not enough to store your photos. I think u meant to say Icloud isit?

2)Do a complete backup of your current ipbone on itunes and restore on our new iphone 6/ 6+ and voila, everything is restored.

No it doesn't cover the curved part of the LCD.
None does. I've bought Glass SP, matte, clear, and now diamond.
I recommend u guys to stay away from Glass as not only does it looks ugly, you'll find it difficult to swipe in from the sides.

PS 1: RM2. I got it in China where I am working at now smile.gif
PS 2: Internet speed is being a b**** here now. I'll upload to Spigen case later  sad.gif

Nope. Not installing glass as I dont like the extra thickness no matter how thin the glass sp is. But problem is I still have yet to find a good SP that covers almost the whole screen. My current cheapo Rm10 is like crap now. doh.gif the edges are totally off allignment. doh.gif

I can tell you, the good 'knock offs' are exactly the same like the originals. They even have the holograms on the box and the serial number to check originality. tongue.gif

Safest is to buy from 'certified' Spigen traders here on LYN. There are a few here on marketplace itself. Forummers who bought before should know better.

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.

Yes, but now we have China Phones with Flagship specs for half the price of other flagship phones in the market.

Hmm... What do you think is the quickest route to get my hands on a Malaysian iPhone 6? Apple Store online? Maxis online? Queue at a store somewhere?

Need to receive it by the 20th or 21st Nov before I head off to the States, or I'll get it there if the waiting time is too long.

Appreciate comments from those experienced with getting iPhones at launch. smile.gif

Get it from the US lar. Its definately cheaper after conversion and most importantly no queue.

I went to Switch just now and asked whether they have pre-order or not for iphone 6, and asked about whether walk-in to buy or not on 7th.

From outlook, that guy looks like "pangkat tinggi" for me. He answered with somehow rude-attitude: "NO, iphone 6 is not launch yet how to pre-order? The 7th you saw on social media is just an estimation, Apple hasn't announce anything yet. You go check Apple webpage la, this month end is Thailand, Apple will normally announce release that two weeks earlier, the soonest iphone 6 reaches malaysia will be end of Nov, he answered confidently." I walked away after that with a nod nod.gif

But from my experience of "chasing iphone" since iphone 4, I don't quite remember Apple ever announce the release that before Telcos in Malaysia, every time we receive news from Telco first then Apple announce it.

As in this year, Telco in India announce their release that first, and then on 13 October, Apple then only confirmed it.

I am just curious, what make that fella answer me so confidently saying that iPhone will only reach at the end of Nov while all the Telcos announce it already and date also release by them, not social media speculation.  hmm.gif
*
Couldnt blame them either. I think everyday, lotsa people walks in and asks about the iphone 6 until they are tired of answering so that guy just gave you a half hearted reply to shoo you away and keep people away from bugging them.

On the part where launch date is concerned, Iphone stocks are mostly taken by Telcos first. During the launch of the Iphone 4 till 5, only telcos have stocks while Apple authorised resellers had to wait for another 2 weeks before being allocated the stocks. That always make me wonder why people invest so much into being an Apple reseller and end up getting sidelined during new iphone launches. Only during Iphone 5s did Apple resellers got to sell them at the same time of launch together with the telcos.

Regarding warranty claims of foreign sets of iphones, Resellers would definately be reluctant in accepting your sets as they are certainly not sold by them. They would not making any profit by helping you send your unit for Rma with Apple while on the other hand having to endure your constant harrassment for when the phone can be ready for collection. If it would be so easy to claim warranty for foreign sets then people would never think twice when buying overseas sets which will affect the local resellers sales of local sets.

iP6 is more popular among developed countries while iP6+ is famous among Asian due to preference into bigger screen size. They tends to look for a phone that can substitute a computer in which everything can be done on the phone. #thirdworldproblem

Got a point there. But I would put it rather as a 'ultra kiasu' mentality where everything has to be the latest, biggest, most expensive and the best money can buy mentality. laugh.gif

Am actually tired of people asking me when they see my Iphone 6, "Why didnt buy the 6+? Isnt the 6+ better?" question. doh.gif

So when I take out my 6+, they will be quiet. laugh.gif
