So did you go to a maxis centre and gave them hell for it?

Bro, which centre did you leave your name at? I asked one centre and they said no such service provided.

Hmmm.. Maybe I'll do that and try my luck. Thanks!

Due to line coverage in my area I don't think I can switch telco, but was thinking if January still can't get then maybe I need to learn how to survive with 16GB again, as I previously did for both iPhone 4 and 5..

Cool, will try that as well. Thanks!

By the time the stock situation improves we could be looking at 6S already, ha ha. Come on, buck up maxis!

Bro, I'm from Klang too and I did go to the Maxis at Bukit Tinggi but when I asked if I could leave my name and contact info for them to contact me when they have stocks they apologized and said they don't have such a service and it's on a first come first serve basis. Maybe I need to make friends with them first, hehehe...

Actually I'm pretty sure those who were frustrated enough with maxis and have the options to take their business elsewhere have already done so. After all, we are the paying customers. There are probably those that can't port out for whatever reason and those are the ones most frustrated with maxis, and I'm pretty sure maxis is aware of this and therefore they don't quite give a damn. Unfortunately I am one of those, ha ha..

Anyways, like you said, if it's true that they will only have stocks by February for the general public, most people would have already gotten the phone elsewhere, ported out, or have just changed their minds. Probably no big loss to Apple or to maxis considering how much money they are already making with demand still outweighing supply by much.

Given how much negative feedback there is about iOS 8 at the moment, it's probably good to give Apple time to iron out the bugs so it's not entirely a lose-lose situation for consumers' either. Also, Android flagships like the Note 4 and Z3 would cost so much lesser by February - I'm an Apple fan by far, but I recognize great phones when I see them!

Oh, and by the way, the forumer you quoted has been going around baiting everyone (especially those who were frustrated with the pre-order process) about how he received his phone on the first day of the launch. I've noticed this even in the earlier versions of this discussion thread. Best ignored where possible

Can u calculate how many minutes and SMS she uses on average monthly?

I am on Surfmore 50 now and I add RM12 for 120 minutes of local calls, so that's RM62.00. If you don't add on, then calls are expensive on Surfmore, RM0.20 per minute. SMS pretty negligible these days with Whatsapp, iMessage and whatever not. So far this plan is serving my needs well, as I only need data when I'm out (got UniFi at home) and have never exceeded my quota (did hit more than 80% few times) in the past year or so.

If your wife makes lesser calls than 120 minutes a month, then definitely it makes sense.

Also previously another forumer reported some dealers will only sell iPhones to new customers, in order to maximize their commission etc. not sure how true that is but if it is then it's just unethical behavior.

Anyways, just a month after the launch, not really expecting the supply situation to miraculously improve by leaps and bounds.

Which is why the shortages at maxis or for that matter at machines, switch, etc. baffles me.

Hmmm, an elaborate Apple conspiracy to clear the 16GB models first? Or is the new distributor to be blamed?

Stepson also must give some some ma...

I noticed DiGi online store got 6 Plus 64GB already... Pity they insist to tie you to a 2 year contract, otherwise I may have bitten the bullet for a year just to get the phone

No la, iDiGi 50 not worth la, savings on device not substantial enough, hehehe

Hmm, I will try tomorrow or day after

Wow... I think you shouldn't wait for them to call. More than a month already. If it was me, I would be calling them daily and giving them hell on earth. More than a month already...

Ya, exactly my point, they've held on to your money for more than a month already. Hope you get some kind of compensation

Ok lar, RM100 return for a bit more than a month's deposit... Better than banks.

Aiyo, at the end of the day,
it's...
just...
a...
phone

"Dear sir, you won a free iPhone from maxis"? Hehehe...

Just spoke to someone in maxis, he said small amounts of 64GB 6 and 6 Plus are coming in but mostly still being allocated to pre-ordered customers and corporate customers. They expect a big shipment in after Christmas, whereby things should be better.

Lets wait and see.
