Very true, and now I know why my sister-in-law said that her refurbished iPhone 5 (that was the phone I bought from her, back in March last year) is of very good quality. And even better than buying the phone "off the rack", based on what you said above, G-17! thumbup.gif

How do you know it's better? Just curious though. unsure.gif

Hi Fruitie, can we use AMEX on apple store to get MYR 50 on weekend purchase ?
*
Yes, can. Bought 5 units before on different occasions and card was charged immediately.
It will be posted to your unbilled transactions only on the day your phone is delivered but transaction date is on the day you purchase your phone. So, you will get your rebate.

Wow, looks like American Express is jumping on the bandwagon as well, having been left behind by VISA and MasterCard all this while! But seriously, how many of us are actually using Amex cards today?

Although the RM50.00 rebate is quite eye-watering, I must say! thumbup.gif
*
Apple Store didn't accept AmEx earlier, I think only started last year or something.
Yes, at least a discount and every RM 1 spent = 5 points. Can change to vouchers and one of the participating outlets is Epicentre. That's the reason I kept waiting for either Epicenter or senQ to restock as I can exchange my points for an iPhone 6 Plus. I will only pay around 2.3k for an iPhone 6 Plus 64GB.
Sadly after two months of waiting, now I don't even bother to check out the status anymore. No intention to buy after waiting for so long.
Will wait for next generation.

So, if the phone turns off the WiFi automatically after being idle for some time, can you guys still receive messages via messaging services like WhatsApp and WeChat or Facebook notifications? I assume once WiFi is disconnected, mobile data will be up? unsure.gif

Correcto mundo. Most people wont notice as wifi will connect itself once u wake up the phone.

Got it. Now I know why some people say iOS drains data. laugh.gif
Not good for those having little data plan. sweat.gif

Anyway, I was close to purchasing an iPhone 6 Plus yesterday's evening. I checked out the stock availability at senQ Seremban 2 yesterday. Coincidentally it has the variant and colour that I want. Plus, it allows on the spot Maybank TreatsPoint redemption. Then the sales person continued, I cannot buy the phone the outright. I have to buy it bundled with packages, either with accessories or extended warranty. I said what kind of ruling is this I don't need all those. He said I must if I want to purchase from senQ.
OK lo, I guess it's pretty confirmed I won't be buying any iPhone at this moment, will wait till next generation.

Wow, never knew that SenQ has such a requirement! So unfair, if people are desperately seeking to change their phone to the Apple one and the only shop selling it is a SenQ! blink.gif

And if you bought it with packages, how much would the phone have cost you then, fruitie?
*
Didn't check further because those ridiculous bundled packages just turned me off. shakehead.gif

What did they ask you to purchase? And what are the contents of these so-called packages? shakehead.gif

Never knew that SenQ has such a crazy ruling! doh.gif

With screen protectors and casings or extended warranty by senQ.
I'm not sure if this only happens in Seremban branch will find some time to file a complaint on its FB.

I experienced that since my iphone 5. That time I'm having hiccup, end up but without bundle after complain as compensation.
That time I called their CS to check stock. Told me xx branch got stock. Drive all the way there said sold out. N told me go another branch after the xx branch call to check n confirm got stock. Go to the other branch said must buy with bundle. I fed up n call to complain their CS. N ended up the branch manager call back n said can offer me without bundle due to the hassle I been to.

Good for you that you got what you wanted.
As for me, I already kinda shutting the doors in my heart of getting an iPhone 6 Plus. So, if there is no for me is also fine. tongue.gif

QUOTE(ASGM99 @ Jan 19 2015, 06:55 PM)
I tink the extended warranty part appears in those senQ outlets i've been to. Never see them wrote about casing or protectors. But somehow, the extended warranty might come in handy if you are those who dont change phone yearly. haha
*
The extended warranty is a gimmick. Really don't need that man. sweat.gif

My friend's iPhone 6 slipped from her hands twice. sweat.gif doh.gif Luckily fell on carpeted floor...
She was using 4S before this.

Guys, any info on the availability of the iPhone 6+ 64gb Space Grey around KL/Selangor? Getting it tomorrow or the day after

Click and buy from online Apple Store now and you may get it the day after tomorrow. smile.gif
Warranty wise is good, there are some bad experiences shared here for purchases from re-sellers when tried to claim warranty.

How if purchased a deficit unit from Apple Online Store? Can exchange?
*
Within 7 days, 1-1 exchange. They will send courier service to collect and give you the replacement instead.
My sister's 4S which was bought from online had issue earlier and just sent in at the centre in Berjaya Mall (opposite of Times Square) and replaced her a refurbished unit, that time she was at her 11th month of warranty. thumbup.gif

Oh, so they do have their partner-resellers who can do such one-on-one exchanges then!

And I thought everything has to be done solely via the online method, with a courier guy picking it up from your place and sending the replacement later. biggrin.gif
*
My sister did call the hotline and they advised her to do that instead. Well, it was a 4S so it is like at least 3 years ago, cannot recall the exact thing anymore. tongue.gif I just remembered her phone was sent in to a centre and got it replaced in the end.
She dropped her phone and the earpiece got conked and they replaced it eventually. tongue.gif

But good luck if after 7 days. They direct u to local reseller service center.
But if within 7 days(some say 5), no questions asked. They ask u email them a photo and they send courier come collect.

The service centre is much better than walking into those resellers. smile.gif

Thats still dont feels good. You bought a new phone and it is faulty and they give you a refurbished set.
This happened to my iphone 5, I had exchanged for 3 times because I got the new phone with scratches and dead pixels.

Er... My sister's phone was already 11 month old that time. smile.gif It is looking so nice, like a new set. smile.gif
Few pages mentioned that refurbished unit is better though I don't know how is it better. laugh.gif

Despite how much I love Apple Store but I have to buy one iPhone 6 64GB from local resellers later....

Reason is I need the phone by tomorrow because my boss is leaving this Sunday and he is bringing it to my big boss in China... My big boss wants this phone. sweat.gif
