Anyone willing to swap iP6 64gb Space Gray, still sealed & MY unit? I wanted Silver color -.-"
*
My current 6+ 64GB Space Grey My set is lighter in colour compared to my previous 6+ 16GB which I bought at launch from Singapore Apple Store. I noticed it only when my friend asked me if my set is silver because the colour looks a bit lighter.

You can claim from any Authorissed Apple Service Centres near you if you dont want to send back to the Telco. nod.gif

For Maxis plans, I still prefer the One Plan as calls to any number are free and unlimited. thumbup.gif

i realise LTE consumes quite a lot of data. which i why i'm constantly on 3G.

LTE consumes more data because its download speeds are much faster than 3G and being so we tend to 'use' more. laugh.gif Battery usage on LTE network is lower though.

16GB will be good enough if you 'upkeep' your phone regularly. You have to delete unwanted pics, whatsapp pics from your phone. If you link your icloud to camera roll, it would even require more storage on your phone. You have to keep games and apps to a minimum and delete unused ones. 16GB is good enough for those who use their phones mainly for calls and social networks and social messaging.

If I use a 16GB, it will be maxed out in no time at all. Even when I was using the 32GB iPhone 5, I was left with around 11GB to play with, considering I deleted "big" apps like Asphalt 8 and Football Manager as well as various videos and photos. shocking.gif

At least with the 64GB iPhone 6, the memory has been doubled and after I reinstalled the two apps I deleted earlier, I still have 33.9GB left to use! rclxms.gif

That is why I also opted for the 64GB. Lazy already to 'upkeep' the phone. Very tiring, like keep your house neat and tidy. tongue.gif

Just received my unit. I have a question though, can I power on the unit without having to set up an account etc. or should I do that one shot?

I actually bought this unit as a present for my partner, and I'd like to test to see if it's working before I pass it to her tonight.

QUOTE(v1n0d @ Jan 2 2015, 03:55 PM)
Alright, in that case I'll just wait for her to get home before powering it on.

You can power it on but you would not get pass the setup page if you dont enter an Apple ID and connect to the internet. Dont worry about your warranty, as your warranty is actually activated on the day Apple couriers you the phone. Check back on your warranty status on Apple's website you will get what I mean.

Will buy tickets for my Japan trip this month end. A very impromptu trip and this makes my dream of owning an iPhone 6 Plus almost gone. doh.gif laugh.gif

Anyway, I Googled and Japan iPhone is unlocked as well right? Only certain models are locked. With the Yen keeps depreciating, it is much cheaper to buy in Japan. laugh.gif

But anyway, I'm still holding for the last hope to own one before I leave for Japan, still the amount I will be spending on iPhone 6 Plus can make up a better trip for me in Japan. laugh.gif

The dilemma. Sorry, I know this is a useless post. doh.gif
*
I strongly dont suggest you get your Iphone from Japan. Yes, it will a cheaper (after conversion) but trust me, you will regret if ever you do need to send it back for RMA later. Resale value will be lower too when you sell it off later. Not worth the 200 bucks difference if you ask me.

This is the problem now faced by my brother when he bought an iPhone 6 from Dubai. Turns out that it can't work in China due to differing settings and stuff (he's based there for work)! sad.gif

Might as well do what I did and buy the iPhone online, and if you're lucky, it should be at your doorstep within 2-3 days from the date of order + payment! rclxms.gif

Its due to a different network band as different countries are running on different network bandwidths. Im quite surprised though as Apple claims its Iphones 6 and 6+ are compatible with most countries' network already.

Had to buy a disposable sim to test my phone. sad.gif

My existing sim card can't be cut to nano size, and I can't change it on the spot at DiGi because I'm a subline. They need either the line owner, or a signed authorization letter etc. Haih, they really like to make people jump through hoops.

Recommended to get your sim card to be changed to the nano sim version rather than cutting it. Digi charges Rm20 for the nano sim though shakehead.gif

If you play a lot of high definition and processor and ram hungry games, battery will drain a lot whether you are on 6 or 6 +.

Lel at you all complaining about battery life. I was previously on an S4 Mini, and I can tell you that battery life on the 6 is a godsend in comparison. Left the house at 35%, played Clumsy Ninja until it dropped to 13%, then took an hour long trip to KL and it was only at 11% by the time I reached despite having data and location enabled. Even the charging time is a lot faster compared to my old phone!

QUOTE(666devil @ Jan 5 2015, 11:35 AM)
Yeah it's a godsend from s4 to 6+. No more background data and battery leaks. Use to have to go to android application and data management to disable all background data usage and junkware apps that prevent phone from deep sleep.
Now no longer need to. Phew!!!

Currently using iphone 6+ 64gb (space grey).

Just wondering guys, any difference if i charge thru pc/laptop (iphone 6+ cable). Any effects compared to normal charger?

Thanks in advance
*
Charging will be slower through usb charging through your pc compared to your normal charger.

QUOTE(winkiedilwy @ Jan 5 2015, 08:37 PM)
Computer's USB output is about 500mAh. Wall charger is between 1A to 1.5A. So it's slower and less healthy to battery.
*
Battery health depends on how frequent you charge your battery and what level of charge is left in your battery before you charge it. I dont think slower charging via usb affects battery life.

I thought the charging will cut off right to prevent overcharged? Or the best way is we check the battery level and unplug it after fully charged?

Correcto Mundo. You have to unplug after the battery is fully charge. Take note of when you leave the charger on, your 100% battery level will never drop.

USB 3.0 port with the lighting symbol

will it spoil battery?
[attachmentid=4289105]
*
The phone has a regulator or resistor to regulate amount of charge going in. But Im not going to say whether charging it fast using a USB 3.0 port will damage the battery or the motherboard. We have people who use their ipad chargers to charge their iphones and claims its ok. Whatever it is, Apple recommend using its original charger for charging only.

QUOTE(winkiedilwy @ Jan 6 2015, 02:02 PM)
I don't think its worth OCD about charging the battery. If the battery runs out, just charge. Just don't charge overnight.

If you want to charge slow, use PC's USB port.
If want to charge normally, use supplied wall adaptor.
If want to charge fast, use iPad's charger.

No matter what you do, the battery will disintegrate anyway. So just charge it when you need.

Usually the battery will not last the period the phone stays in possesion as a new model will already be out by then. laugh.gif
