True... Tmr going to call apple and ask how much it cost to replace the screen. Ip5s is around 1100. I wonder how much is ip6/6plus

Yes. So far Corning only have GTOC Taiwan to manufacture the 3D Gorilla glass.

Yup. Apple Malaysia do not offer repair. All replacement unit. They opened up the phone just to check and verify on the internal parts. To ensure its original and not tampered.

no worries... bonus soon... xmas also coming... just get your other half to buy for u.. haha..

have u tried garage sales? i think there should be a lot selling it.

here's a sc of details

yes..

some are smaller... and also the lesser the details, the smaller the file.

Photometa

ambient light sensor (ALS)

depending on the sp. some might affect it. while some won't.

ok... i asked this question before too. The local service centre technician told me they need to open it to check on the phone, whether it's tampered before.
I saw one aunty and her daughter brought the iPhone 5 for warranty claim, opened up they saw some warranty stickers on the phone. They told customer that its being opened before and the customers insist never send for warranty claim. So SC ask them to bring back to the place of purchase.
in this scenario, if they dont open it, apple singapore may reject the claim too. So i fully understand why they need to open up the phone.
Don't forget one thing, u never know where the imported set comes from. it might be a rejected stock from other countries. Your seller can said so many wonderful thing to you, but can they proved it?

And while all sets are send back to Singapore for RMA, who is responsible for the cost of delivery? Apple or SC? if SC need to pay for shipping, do you think they will be happy to collect those set not bought from them? Think about it. Will you feel happy if you are operating a business and those not buying from you come and ask u to help claim warranty?

And what about data collection? Apple Malaysia/Singapore need to ensure the faulty unit need to be a product from their region, otherwise it will affect the data within the region.

Let's look at another scenario.

Apple China - 100 units 20 faulty
Apple Malaysia/SG - 100 units 10 faulty

If the 100 units are brought in from china and sold in Malaysia. If its allowed to be claimed in Malaysia, that would means out of 100 units, there are 30 units faulty which is 30%. The 100 units from Apple Malaysia/SG is registered under them while the other 100 brought in by resellers are not. This will mess up the data.

These are my thoughts if I put myself in a their shoes.

and even with applecare, i heard you cannot claim in malaysia since it's not available here... not sure how true it is.. anyone can clarified? those who bought apple care from overseas..

Christmas coming soon.. Be good everyone and who knows I get what you want from Santa.. Haha
