Managed to test my sister's 64GB iPhone 6 (SG set) for a very short while. Mainly tested apps I'll be using a lot.

Coming from 2 years of using a Note 2, and the past couple of weeks back to my laggy iPhone 4 on iOS 7.0.4

What I liked:
- SEXY. Slim and smooth like a woma ... Never mind. I like the feel of it in my hands. The size is perfect, not too big, not too small.
- Speed and smoothness. I must admit, I'm frustrated with my laggy iPhone 4. I probably based this point on my Note 2 vs. my iPhone 4
- very impressed with camera, took some test shots in a semi-low light condition and quite happy with how the pic turned out

What I didn't like:
- Not really impressed with the overall iOS experience as it doesn't offer anything new in the short time I sort with it. It's all very ... familiar. Maybe because I've been with Android for the past 2 years and I need to spend more time with it. It's like getting back together with your ex.

However, that's not necessarily a bad thing. I have an ex that still asks me "I'm the best right?" but that's another story that probably belongs in the Cupid's Corner section tongue.gif

- not sure what iOS my sis has on her unit but I believe she has not updated so I think it's stock. Noticed that Safari doesn't have the "Open in background" option which I have on my iOS 7

Overall, I feel like there's something missing. Like, the magic is gone.

That said, either the 6 or 6+ are still my top choices for my Note 2 replacement. I was considering Nexus 5 or 6 as well.

Need to get my hands on the 6+ For further tests and comparison

Currently borrowed my sister's 4s to get over my frustration of my laggy 4 and late Malaysian release of the 6/6+

What happened to your note 2 bro? My case is quite similar to yours, coming from iPhone 4 then note 2 then back to iPhone after my Note 2 k.o..

The iPhone 4 is ridiculously slow and is driving me insane at times. A few message from WhatsApp can take anywhere from 5 seconds to load, not to mention not able to play Clash of Clans and Spotify at the same time shakehead.gif

By the way, compared iPhone 4 vs 4S vs 6+ in a test of opening Clash of Clans, the 6+ obviously comes first then after a long long long time yawn.gif iPhone 4 then only iPhone 4s, makes me doubt whether iPhone 4S is much faster blink.gif

Am looking forward for 6+ as sometimes too much options may not be a good thing laugh.gif

Don't know whether I can wait for Malaysia launch or will go insane and buy overseas unit before launch drool.gif because really..

IPHONE 4 IS DRIVING ME INSANE icon_question.gif

I totally feel those guys that came from iphone 4 man, I'm right there with you.

It's very ahhhh when your fingers can fly over the keyboard and the phone just simply keeps up no matter how fast you go!

All those years that you were little bit jealous over the bigger screen size of the iphone 5, siri, new thin cable that can let you plug in whichever way, slow mo recording, fast response times are finally over once you upgrade.

You get six rows of apps on a single screen. SIX! That's an extra two rows! This is a bigger leap than from 4 to 5! (Yes I know you can count but still)

I'm looking for extra iphone cables. What's a good cheap brand? I see RM20 VCOM cable and one brand "original accessories" brand with yellow zebra stripes.

Will they work well?

hahaha your description of the ip4 keyboard rclxms.gif the funny thing is although there's massive delay everything you typed is still recorded, just annoying when you typed something wrong rclxm9.gif ok time to stop the ip4 discussion

So in the end I couldn't live with iPhone 4 until launch and got myself an aus 6+. The camera is just wow (can't rmb bout my note 2), low light photos (even selfies :/) are substantially brighter less noise and clearer rclxms.gif speed wise, say bye bye to delayed keyboard and 2 mins to load whatsapp (gosh).

Best thing bout ip6? It blends into your life, nothing to shout about, just natural.

Bro, I can't remember - were you the one that had the same Note 2 problem with me? Finally bit the bullet eh? biggrin.gif  thumbup.gif

My friend's case is more similar to yours hmm.gif but same 2 years of Note 2 then jump back to iPhone 4 rclxms.gif My note 2 actually died caz i dropped it (coffee table height) and though no crack, the screen stop functioning anymore, not worth fixing so I just leave it.

As a result now I'm considering a rugged case for my 6+, don't want the same thing to happen again heh blush.gif

Any recommendations for a 6+ rugged case? Reviews for Griffin's and Otterbox's been pretty bad though.

Taken with 6 plus, and I actually took a ruler to make sure the distance between the phone and the 'head' is about 10cm sweat.gif

its just a phone, which came out 1.5mths ago.. why gettin all worked up.. ur life not gonna end if u dont get it on first day.

The problem is Malaysia is already 1.5 months behind, and if 'we' can't get the first batch, probably have to wait for another month or two. For a phone which has a life cycle of 12 months, the waiting period is actually material. If this doesn't bothers you, an extreme example would be getting the iPhone 5S now shakehead.gif .

Long story short, I believe there is time premium in the price we pay for gadgets.

I'm already using iPhone 6 Plus btw, just expressing how i feel laugh.gif .

Time premium is not the premium feel you get for owning it before the rest. It's like iPhone 5S 32GB was RM2750 when it first came out, then now at RM2200, the difference of RM550 is the time premium.

For example, you get it first day of launch at RM2750; you get it 6 months after also at RM2750; only if you get it towards the 1 year mark it would be RM2200. Without doubt it would be more worth it on the first day than say after 6 months. Since you are still paying the same price, the earlier you get, the 'more worth it' the RM550 time premium is.
