I was queuing up since 10pm last night and camp overnight. This morning found out there's no Space Grey 64gb. I wasn't keen on other colors and didn't want to leave empty handed!

Impulse buy!

Maybe use and see how. Sell off for 64gb or wait for 6S tongue.gif

Woah Batman, where you queued? Since 10pm still didnt get the unit of your choice?

Was at Mac City @ 1u. Was 4th in line. No stock allocation for the unit I wanted.

Briefly met 2 of the forummers here.

Let me guess 6+ 64GB Space Grey would definately be Batman's choice. Matches his Batmobile rite? cool2.gif

I'm trying to figure out if I can "discipline" myself for 16GB as I did with iPhone 4, hahaha... When I sold the phone off after 2.5 years I had 2GB space remaining...

But 10GB is really too little
*
No issues with that except when u need to update your ios version because there would be inadequate space left for it.

QUOTE(toomanyrulez @ Nov 6 2014, 09:43 PM)
I mean when u open the box, without installing anything?

Yes. Around that.

but was surprise that gold unit still have balance this time round, as usually silver is the balance stockĀ  hmm.gif
I tot of getting silver if really no choice

QUOTE(biatch0 @ Nov 6 2014, 11:23 PM)
There was overflow of gold units... that's why lots of gold balance. I think today stock in was about 60+% gold for the reseller (and not because they ordered gold on purpose) I got my device from.
*
Looking back at the crazily high demand for the Gold IP5s, Apple has learnt their lesson. That's why this round they came up with more Gold compared to other colours because its still the favorite colour of all. thumbup.gif

Its like that lar. I've gotten pretty much used to it. It has been better after the last update. You should have seen it on IOS8 during first launch. doh.gif

It feels weird for first time users. Because they are used to the small fonts and layout for the 5/5s.

not too hype already i think coz all apple reseller left stock for 16gb only

Market is slow nowadays. Those die hard fans like us already bought long before launch here. Ap companies like 1Gadget were having lot of stocks before my launch and ultimately a possible reduction in market share for iphonesin Malaysia. During previous launches, people were queuing up practically everyday and grabbingevery stock available.

Was fiddling with the iPhone 6/6plus at maxis/digi centre ytdy and noticed stuttering interface on the 6plus when scrolling up/down in Spotlight search. also home interface rotation from portrait to landscape was not smooth.

i dunno if its just my eyes but screen quality/color looked better on the iphone6 compared to the plus model. in terms of weight and comfort to hold the phone, iphone6 is miles ahead comparing with the 6plus.
*
Yes. Sad to say but I hav to agree to that. But its a bit better now with 8.1. It was worse when the 6+ rolled out earlier.

its just weird coz previous iphones from 3g to 5S was all buttery smooth when first time playing it in shops. but this iphone6plus feels abit unresponsive..not something u you normally see on an iphone. Also having a big size screen means we auto-presume will be good on productivity but so far it looks kinda empty with lotsa unused space in the interface. well, the only plus point for the 6plus is the battery capacity. iphone6 so far no complains. just battery could have been better. so for me i'm still undecided which model to get.

perfect size and weight vs battery capacity.. so tough :/
*
I got the same feeling when I first got my 6+. First impression was ui was not so smooth, apps were opening and closing so fast and fluidity was somehow lacking on the phone. Maybe because I was expecting too much from the phone but one thing for sure, it was not as smooth and fluid like my OPO which I just replace with the 6 +. For me, all I could summarize from this is that
1) Android performs much better than before and is now as fluid and smooth as Ios.
2) Apple putting in mediocre hardware on the iphone (this will anger die hard apple can do no wrong fanboys). I proved my point when Apple put in 2GB of ram into their Ipad Air 2.

if thats the case, it looks like ip6plus wont be future-proof like previous iphones due to the hardware limitations.

Hallo.....how to make more money from you if they make your Ip6+ so future proof? laugh.gif

what happened to the Apple vision of producing perfect devices for excellent user experience? Is apple all bout money now without the perfection in their device? Well, the Apple i know from the 3G and iphone4 days is different from the apple today. I don't mind apple charging high for their products, but it should come with the perfect user experience to back up that high cost. before this, although their hardware was lacking at times, u can be sure that what they sold was premium compared to their competitors. now its tough to back up apple with the ever improving Samsung/HTC.

Hopefully apple fixes the lag and stuff on their ip6+ model fast, looking at the RRP which is the price of a Macbook..
*
Im pretty sure they cant do much about it right now other than optimizing their IOS. Other than that, you have to wait for the next Iphone with 2GB ram.

Actually it's not that the iPhone 6/plus is not smooth. Apple somehow choose to use slower animations that seems to make it appear slow. That has been the complaint since ios 7. Apple did speed up the animations slightly on ios 8 but it's still slow. Those whose jailbreak have been using NoSlowAnimation to speed up the animations.
*
Yeah yeah, so now Apple "purposely" made the animations "slower" on the 6+. rclxms.gif

For whatever reasons known to them. laugh.gif

Hi. Was wondering if any one here has any solutions for the weak WiFi on iPhone 6? Mine is really bad, wifi is intermittent and I've even reset the network settings twice. Is it possible to actually return and exchange one in worst case scenario? Thanks in advanced.

Are you on any super thick backcovers and casings such as the likes of otterbox etc?

After reading all the inputs today on the lag in the 6 Plus, and cross referencing with other users in other online forums, maybe it's good that I hold on to my decision to purchase the phone just yet. biggrin.gif

Go get the 6. No lag whatsoever.
