I want to sign up for a 12-month contract for my supplementary. Any ideas when the next batch of stocks for 6+ 64/128 is coming?

wonder why maxis need to add gst while if we buy from apple store, the price already included gst. and the rrp for maxis and apple is the same..... anyone know?

They advertise lower price to make it attractive and then you notice the price stated does not include GST. It's all about marketing.

but dont match also ma........the rrp for maxis for a iphone6 64g is 3199, apple store also 3199.

RRP is the same on both sides but because you sign up for a plan, Maxis gives you rebate. For example you get a RM500 rebate so they advertise as 2,699 but this is excluding GST. This bloody GST is charged every time the item changes hand:

Apple > End user (6%)
Apple > Maxis (6%) > End user (6%)

Actually, Apple and Maxis get to claim back the 6% from the government coz it's been passed down to the end user.

Like you said, Rakyat Didahulukan. biggrin.gif

They can claim but we still have to pay, haha. The point I'm trying to make is in context of why there's still GST on top of the phone price and why it makes better sense for Maxis to advertise pre-GST prices purely because of marketing biggrin.gif

is this same with digi and celcom? i cannot brain ma.....apple should supply to maxis at distributor price. not the full rrp rite.

I'm not sure because I've always been using maxis. I know maxis is expensive but I get good customer service in return. Besides, they used to be no 1 in Malaysia but I'm not sure if it's still the same biggrin.gif

I am using the 6S Plus with Samsung chip. To be honest the battery life is very very good, a huge difference from the 6 Plus. Maybe this chip thing affects 6S more than 6S+? I'm not sure but if you ask me, I don't find this an issue.

For me, definition of good battery life = unplug phone at 6am when I wake up, use the phone throughout the day and do not need to use power bank or find charging outlet before I get home at about 9pm. The 6 Plus is already doing that for me. So to hear that the 6S Plus is a huge difference in spite of its smaller battery, then my curiosity is definitely up now biggrin.gif
*
I'm serious. I was using the 6+ all the while and even when it was new, I go home around 40%+ after work. With my 6S+, I go home around 60%+. Same usage pattern. I'm pretty sure it's the newer chip being energy efficient.

Yeah, if you are a light user and can manage your storage well, then 16GB is fine as well. I survived 2 years on a 16GB iPhone 4 and another 1.5 years on a 16GB iPhone 5.

I'm sure you can survive another 1.5 years with iPhone 6S 16GB? biggrin.gif

I was using the 16 GB all the while too. Just got the 64 this time and lots of empty space.
