QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Jan 15 2015, 11:11 AM) Im curious of you guys getting the 128GB iphones. Do you think there is really a need for 128gb of storage? Serious? Im on the 64gb and Im only using less than half of it only. If throwing alot of movie into the phone 1TB also not enough , if just for app , 64GB is more than enough for average users. My ipad has alot of high res comic inside , 128GB almost full with movies and the comics. iPhone 6+ still have quite lots of space even thou is 64GB only.

Thats why I say that Upkeep of the files and apps in the storage is very important. Its like upkeep and maintanence of the house. If you dont, the level of rubbish in your house will keep piling up.

QUOTE(cyrobytes @ Jan 15 2015, 11:17 AM) I have been searching it for months. Give up maxis and bought from Apple store last week. Now using it. True , bought from Apple Store is hassle free but the experience hunting down the iphone at retail is just exciting  Sometime frustrated and the feel of store assistant telling you " yeah , we have the stock " is unimaginable haha

Usually i opt for the highest possible storage for my iPhone but since i have my Note 4 as my primary with additional 128GB cards, 64GB this round is sufficient for me. If iPhone 6s has the primary feature implemented for me in iOS 9 then will opt for 128GB as well. Call me lazy bum , i love to stuff all my item into the phone haha.

Then you will need 256GB for the 6S. Apple will charge Rm4k ++ for the 6+ S.

If the file management function in the device itself are implemented , i definitely take it Btw maxis not really prioritize corporate users , i have 1 more iphone 6+ are yet to be delivered by brightstar and its already over a month. Been calling brightstar to chase the PO. Also the bad thing is they never send the device sealed  , 1st iPhone delivered by them early last month is open box already.

Just hope in the coming years the telco make some good subsidize with " proper " plan , the maxis one plan currently s**k to the max. Unlimited minutes and sms and very low data GB plan and device after subsidy are still not so affordable except the highest plan with 24 months contract. I got around 1k subsidy for each phone under maxis corporate one plan and being tied under 2 years. Still cost over 2k per device

You should opt not to receive it if the seal in opened. It is Apple's policy that all its devices are delivered sealed.

Telcos in Malaysia are very 'well protected' . This industry is only controlled and reserved for certain parties.

Though I agree with your opinion about the Mac .. they are freaking over priced as well ... I recently got the retina 13 mbp .. nearly 5k man >_>

QUOTE(attw @ Jan 15 2015, 11:16 AM) I've used 6.4GB only, haha, and 1GB is my music collection! I base it on my ip5 64gb usage. I need to constantly delete stuff to try new apps. Bulk of the space used is for Spotify offline files and my camera roll.

You can see a lot of content providers (reviewers, youtubers, movie producers) all like to use a Mac because mainly of the optimisation of the software and hardware. True with that pricing you could get a MBP or iMac, but then you won't be able to do mobile stuffs right?
