Apple launch iPhone6 and iPhone6 Plus on 3rd of Nov?

90% certain... it should be on the early end of Nov rather than mid/late Nov

When is Apple Store going to start receiving order? (no pre-order right?)

What is the estimated lead-time?

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

For me, nothing can substitute a computer with physical keyboard and wireless mouse, 16GB RAM and 24" monitor cool2.gif

Is this going to be the large generation of iphone with 1GB of RAM, and the new ones coming up with 2GB (and apps are developed to utilize the bigger RAM), making it the iPhone with shortest lifespan? That actually worries me

yes bro.

ipad air2 is equipped already with 2GB of ram.

expect next iphone to come with identical spec with ipad air 2 AT LEAST. smile.gif

I don't know, but it doesn't sound like a good idea to get iPhone 6. I'm not a spec junkie but I would have expected this generation of iPhone have 2GB RAM

If you need 2GB RAM have to wait for 6s. smile.gif

Probably I should go for 16GB ip6 then since 1GB will probably be outdated soon.

No point going for the more future proof 64GB storage if the RAM is going to be the bottleneck.

now u are making me in dilemma which to get

i guess a bump from 16gb to 64gb will be RM400.

Probably the RM400 is worth it... Look at the app size these days, even Flickr use >200MB

Just hope Apple continue to support 1GB RAM model. I could have gone for Android but since using iPad mini retina I much prefer iOS sweat.gif

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"

+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 rolleyes.gif

oh don't get me wrong. it was not my intention to say u can't say anything bad about apple, I was merely implying that whatever you say won't get you anywhere in terms of product improvement. apple is all about money, always is and always will be.

Point taken, cheers bro biggrin.gif
