Which iPhone 4 ? 8GB? 16GB ? or 32GB?

8GB = RM350-RM400
16GB = RM400-RM450
32GB = RM450-RM500


More than that? people won't buy it, because, nowaday can get iPhone 4S at RM500 and above.

Regarding the battery, the price for new battery(of course the unauthorized one) is around RM40-RM60 only

Just a slight chipped mark. I'm still thinking whether i should send it back as I've got no idea how long the process would take and I'm heading back to UK real soon

1st option, don't wait, just contact Apple how long it takes and you are making a trip, ask for help to expedite it.


2nd option,
You got it from Apple online store, in the Iphone 6 thread, forumers mentioned warranty is covered internationally provided it was bought from Apple online store and the country you claiming warranty have the same model stock and is an Apple store, not resellers.

Maybe can try this approach? I never try this, but can try to enquire....

QUOTE(jin_akira @ Dec 24 2014, 02:34 AM)
the lag may be due to the 1gb RAM and poor software optimization. not sure how laggy though (would appreciate if a user could replicate the lagginess and record it on video for us to see). yeah based on what i've read so far; if you're using a 5S, stick to iOS 7. iOS 8 is still buggy.
*
I've never owned an iPhone. I currently use a S4 Mini, and a Note before that. Currently I'm leaning towards the 6s because I liked the size of my Note, and the battery is a lot better than the 6. My current phone dies on me way too often. Basically I'm just asking that as a first time buyer, is the 5s still worth getting, or should I only consider the 6/6s?

QUOTE(attw @ Dec 24 2014, 08:16 AM)
I can see two possible outcome from this - either you'll like iOS or you'll completely hate it and jump back to Android within 6 months (my guess would be the latter)

The Apple of today is very different from the Apple of yesteryear. If Steve Jobs was still at the helm of the company, the 6 Plus and iOS 8 for that matter would never have been released to the public at it's bug-ridden state. Long time Apple users who are so used to fluidity of the OS and how it work seamlessly on the hardware are now complaining of lags and what not - something that isn't normal years ago. Maybe competition has forced their hand a bit but they are evolving and need to be given time to get things right. They will release software updates every now and then, so if you wanna wait till they ultimately fix all the issues with iOS 8 or with the iPhone 6 Plus, then you will never get an iPhone. And that is not entirely a bad thing. Ultimately, you need to get something that works for you, and if you're gonna experiment with iOS, I think the minimum you should go with is an iPhone 6, and not the 5S. If you're new the Apple ecosystem and haven't invested into the apps yet, maybe try the entry level 16GB for a while, then decide if iOS works for you or not. Bear in mind though that the entry level 16GB iPhone 6 is more expensive and has less features than Android's latest and greatest flagships at that price point.

I'm familiar with the Apple app ecosystem as my mom has an iPad. After using it, I find that I prefer the simplicity a lot more. I used to more of a power user, but these days I just want something that works, preferably with a lot less troubleshooting.

So, from the forumers POV, they would suggest 6 rather than 6+

From my POV, I'm using iPhone 5S , it is still worth getting it, but if you want more juice (battery) go for 6 or 6+

But I remember the poll last time was 50-50 for 6 and 6 plus. I believe there are still many ppl who would like to get an iPhone struggle between these two. haha

But presently at most telcos and retail stores, iPhone 6 seems to be sold out, even for the 16GB variant, where else there are bits of 6 Plus stocks here and there. Does this suggest that most prefer the 6 over 6 Plus, or is it just a stock imbalance?

I dunno but most of my colleague opted for 6. only 1 person bought 6 plus. their reason is the size.

me too, inclined to buy the 6~

It'll work, just that it might not be an ultra smooth performance as per previous Apple products. But there will be periodic updates to fix those issues. I'm also eyeing a 6 Plus purely for the battery life.

Hello all, first timer here.

I'm a long time Android user, looking to switch to an iPhone. I was planning on getting a 6+ from the Apple store, but after reading through some of the threads in this section and I seeing that there are some complaints (especially about the signal quality and some slight lag on the 6+), I'm a little worried. Any 6+ users here who can share their experience with expected problems? I'd like to know if it's worth switching yet, or if I should hold on until a software patch is released.

P.S. Would it be worth considering the 5s instead of the 6/6+? The only major issues I see people complaining about for the 5s is battery life and bugs from the latest iteration of iOS.
*
Ignoring all the troll/fangirl comments about lag Android lag and whatnot, here's my 2 cents as an Android and iOS user.

I've used the iPhone 4, Iphone 5, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 7 (2012), Nexus 5, and iPad 2, and am currently waiting for my iPhone 6 (from Australia) to arrive.

From what I've read and tested personally, there is a very slight difference in performance between the 6 and 6+. Some of it is simply perceived performance, simply due to how our eyes need to track the pixel over the 6+'s bigger 5.5" screen vs the 4.7" on the regular 6. Some of it is actual performance difference, which can be due to apps or the OS lacking optimization, or the need to render a lot more pixels. It's not huge, though. One thing I've noticed about Apple is that it's always better to perform big version updates (eg: iOS 7 to iOS 8) updates via iTunes compared to OTA. No idea what the reason is, but a LOT of performance issues after upgrades tend to affect the OTA updated phones more often. It seems Apple haven't quite got their PC-free upgrades spot-on yet, despite promising us that more than 3 years ago.

With regards to the iPhone 5s. I think its still a very decent phone, provided you can deal with the small screen and slightly lower battery life compared to the 6. Usually, the "s" models tend to be better polished, since Apple has had a year to work out the little niggles from the non s models. The 5s still has a great camera (still better than almost any Android phone) and performance wise, isn't that far behind the 6. Remember it's pushing less pixels for the 4" screen, so the slower processor isn't taxed that much for all but the most demanding games.

Regarding the Android lag thing that some twat was talking about in another post, depends on phone. I've mostly owned Nexus devices, and lag is minimal to non-existant on my Nexus 5 running Android 5.0. Can't say the same for handsets with bloated skins like Samsung's touchwizz which will be janky even if you have a liquid-cooled 64 core phone, me thinks.

It's always a gamble future-proofing mobile systems. We never know what sort of optimizations or bugs the next version of iOS will bring. Apple might have learned some lessons and double-downed on stability (I personally never like Steve Jobs' Apple) for the next iOS, or they might be influenced too much by that crap headphone company they bought and produce something totally bloated and useless. Same story with Android - sometimes they take one step forwards and two steps back.

I agree. The comment posted by Altel shows how a little ignorant fanboy he can be. This behaviour of his is giving us ios users a bad name especially on many tech sites. sad.gif
