iPhone 6 isn’t simply bigger — it’s better in every way. Larger, yet dramatically thinner. More powerful, but remarkably power efficient. With a smooth metal surface that seamlessly meets the new Retina HD display. It’s one continuous form where hardware and software function in perfect unison, creating a new generation of iPhone that’s better by any measure.

Yup I agree, just buy it direct from Apple Online, by the time you wait for stocks, you got to be really lucky to walk in at the right time to grab one, plus it doesn't guarantee the colour you want is available...the anguish of waiting doesn't justify it...

what I did was get the contracted 6+ 16GB phone from maxis, leave it unopened, sell it, then order from Apple online a 6+ 64GB and then sell my 5s 16GB, all in I paid about RM1300 for my 6+ 64GB upgrade from 5s 16GB

If not because of the TreatsPoints redemption, I wouldn't wait as well. laugh.gif I'm not really in rush to get. I hope to get from Epicentre and the stocks should arrive in January. Let's see.

Meanwhile, I will order two more units from Apple Store next weekend. Not mine, again for other people. tongue.gif

Early this month I left my name at Digi Gardens for iPhone 6 Plus Silver 64Gb. This afternoon I received SMS it's already available but must collect today.
Just to update all on Digi stock availability.
Ps... I managed to get a Gold version 2 weeks ago, guess they forgot to update my case.

It very much depends on your network connection. There was some initial hiccups with Ios 8 when whatsapp and youtube was slow to load intially but the latest update has already addressed this issue.

why i read this thread and most of you still waiting for the iphone one

what is the chance of me getting by next friday if lets say i order from apple store/ ipmart tomorrow or monday

also i'm getting iphone 6 mainly for the 240fps video feature, still deciding between 6+ or 6 because the 6 doesnt have video stabilization ? is this small little feature so important ? i've watch slow-mo videos of 6+ and 6 on youtube but cant find any different, maybe they are just better at taking videos or is it dont matter much ?

If you got budget, always go for the bigger capacity. Apps nowadays are taking alot of space and you nvr know what you will do with your phone in the future.

Would still takes up the space on your phone. Heck, even whatsapps takes space for the photos/video sharings
And with games/apps getting bigger in size. 16GB is barely sufficient these days.

Like mentioned, 16gb is good enough for light users.

A lot of people used up a lot of space because they keep every picture they take or received through sosial messaging apps.

Yes. I bought two times and one of them was swiped during weekends and got RM 50 rebate. biggrin.gif
Will be buying two more units next weekend as my statement date is on 24th, will utilize this month's rebate and my bill will only due in mid of Feb if I swipe after 24th. Can keep my money longer for interest. laugh.gif


Anyway, due to some sentimental reasons, I really hope to keep my WeChat chat history and if possible the photos shared in our chat. How can I backup them from an Android phone to iPhone 6 Plus? I want the voice messages in WeChat to be transferred as well... Is this even possible? unsure.gif

Need a couple of questions answered here;

My sister is getting an iPhone 6 from Australia (unlocked, from Australian Apple online store) for me. Will I have any issues using GSM/LTE bands of Malaysian telcos? I already have a 5s which I use with a Singapore telco (because I work in S'pore) and have no problem with roaming coverage (including data) in Malaysia, so I'm expecting the 6 won't have issues either. Just want to confirm.

Also, I'm thinking of getting a Malaysian prepaid line to cut down on my roaming bills for whenever I'm back in Johor visiting my mum. Do any of the Malaysia Telcos offer 4G/LTE data for prepaid lines? I know the cheaper MVNOs are limited to 3G, but what about the big three like Digi Prepaid or Maxis Hotlink or Celcom Xpax?

Thanks

I think I'm gonna try 16GB since my usage is fairly light. And since I'm the kind of gadget nut that tends to change phones every year, I'd probably not be able to finish 64GB before my next upgrade biggrin.gif

why i read this thread and most of you still waiting for the iphone one

what is the chance of me getting by next friday if lets say i order from apple store/ ipmart tomorrow or monday

also i'm getting iphone 6 mainly for the 240fps video feature, still deciding between 6+ or 6 because the 6 doesnt have video stabilization ? is this small little feature so important ? i've watch slow-mo videos of 6+ and 6 on youtube but cant find any different, maybe they are just better at taking videos or is it dont matter much ?

The ones waiting (like myself) are probably waiting for Telco to restock and buy it slightly cheaper on contract

i think the sales have stabilized.. supply more than demand in the states. its just in malaysia, telco stocks are horrible.. if apple releases a new phone in march, they can sell the iphone6 to replace iphone5S. since the phone is considered still new, ppl who cant get their hands on the new 6S will opt for the 6. so both models will be peaking in sales. well, thats just my theory. haha.

with apple, anythin can happen. but so far no part leaks means doubt they will be a new phone in march.

There was a place in SS15 , behind the old K3K. They were good and charged very reasonable prices. Anyone here know the name?

I'll check my old email and see if I can find it.

UPDATE: The company is called PopMyApple. Fixed three broken screens with them previously (brother, uncle and cousin), all done very fast, and reasonable price.

Contact details:

No 24, Jalan SS15/8B, Subang Jaya,

Apple quotes US$299 or RM1,050 for iP6 (not Plus) screen.

As your phone's still under warranty, you will breach warranty if you get the screen fixed by a non authorized repair shop.

Screen replacements are always very expensive d, thats why cheaper to invest in tempered glass to protect the screen from breaking

Nope, I always close my apps. If you compare a stock 6 and 6+, you will get what I mean. The 6+ is indeed slower by a small notch.

if you are running high resolution apps, of course the 6+ will lag behind due to the 1080p resolution compared to 6

Actually, the 6Plus is rendering at 1242x2208 before downsampling to 1080x1920.

I notice even in Whatsapp when you switch from individual chat to your chat list, the animation lags a little. The 6 is totally smooth.

how can this be? even ipad air 2 with much bigger screen has no lag.

totally unacceptable for a premium product.

That is because:

Yes and it even crashes very often as well! Please don't get the iPhone 6+

Also don't bug the shops for stock.

That is correct. I have both the 6 and 6 Plus and I can vouch that the 6 has better fluidity compared to the plus but the difference is not that big.

Dont forget it is the 2GB ram versus 1GB ram which makes the difference.

My fren ordered 1 unit from apple online store, then the unit came 1 day later. Bought powersupport air jacket. Then installed, i felt that the casing is loose. Then i tot is the casing lousy.. i open out then i put on flat surface.. the phone is rocking lolz.. now he is trying to get it replaced but they ask him to call apple damansara but they like very busy or no ppl picking up the phone. i asked him to ask apple online chat to open a case ID, so it has to be closed and get tracking.

It's the problem with optimisation in itself... iOS 5 was sluggished, but iOS 6 was a relief on the same hardware at that time (barring the marred launch of Apple Maps). Apple is trying hard to achieve the balance between performance (especially battery) and form factor (thinness), and right now iOS 8 is not optimised... At least not yet... But then again whether or not they can optimised it at the end of the iOS 8 cycle is beyond us since SJ is in his grave now... Nobody in Apple give a damn about perfectionism anymore...

And Apple is well known for "planned obsolescence" of their hardware, so don't think your iPhone can last more than 3 years with all those upgrades. It's gonna get slower and slower with each upgrades...

I think iOS optimization is another issue altogether. I'm running iOS 8.1 on both 6 and 6+ but the 6+ is abit sluggish sometimes, that was my point. Even when I flip the phone from portrait to landscape as I type this post, it's not smooth as the 6 sad.gif

Anyone with a good jailbreak tweak to improve performance please share?

No guarantee. Maybe the next version of iOS will be better optimized and both phones will perform equally well, or maybe it'll be a turd and make both phones slow as Windows Vista on a first-gen Pentium. Or maybe Tim Cook will put Dr. Dre in-charge of QC and everything will turn to sh*t just like the sound from Beats headphones.

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.

Naik harga lah...! Apa lagi...? doh.gif

Haven't you seen Apple Malaysia increases its prices across some of its accessories not too long ago...? Apple USB Power Adaptor went from RM 69 to RM 79 due to RM plunging to 3.20 - 3.30 territory...

If RM gets worse, I don't think Apple will wait until the next iPhone refresh to readjust its prices.

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.

come on bro, it's 2014 already. Android is not on Donut or Eclair. it doesn't lag any more (at least not on my Nexus 7 2012 4.4.4). iOS 8 on the other hand is clearly problematic, even for the iPhone 6/6+.

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 complaning 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.

What lag? Have you used an Android lately? I have a one year old Galaxy Note 3 running Android 4.4.2 and despite Samsung being famous for it's bloatware and lack of optimization, I've not experienced any lag thus far. In fact, I've not even experienced significant lag in my current Asus Zenfone 5 LTE, which retails at a quarter of the price of the iPhone 6 Plus.

iPhone iOS 8.2 Update: What We Know Right Now
12/22/2014 By Adam Mills

Apple’s iOS 8.1.2 is still the company’s most current version of iOS 8 though it will, at some point, be replaced by a new upgrade. With iOS 8.1.3 rumors swirling and iOS 8.2 update details continuing to emerge, we want to take a look at what we think iPhone (and iPad) users need to know right now about the upcoming iOS 8.2 release.

Several months ago, Apple took the stage to announce the iOS 8.0 release date for iPhone and iPad. The company pegged it for mid-September, just ahead of the iPhone 6 release. On September 17th, the company delivered iOS 8.0 and all of its upgrades and enhancements to iPhone and iPad users of all shapes in sizes.

iOS 8.0 isn’t a massive update but it’s no slouch either. While it doesn’t bring the same kind of sweeping changes that iOS 7 brought back in 2013, it delivers some new additions including improvements to Messages, Notifications, and more. It also delivered a number of iOS 8 problems to owners of the iPhone and iPad.

Looks bad. Like the display is chipped or something. You have 48 hours from the day you receive the unit to make an official complant and get it replaced one to one. That is if it is a Apple My online store set.

You have to call Apple Care. They will send the courier service to pick up your phone (give them the complete set) and they will dispatch another new set to you.

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

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....

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.

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 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?

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.

Ya I agreed with TOMEI, many reviews also stated there is not much difference between 6 and 6+ camera. The real difference is the screen estate and battery life. Seriously hope the sluggishness in 6+ will be solved soon.

Seriously, I dont find any issues now with the fluidity of the 6+ now with the latest 8.1.2 update. When IOS 8 came out, I agree there was such problems but it seems to have much improved now. For those thinking of buying the 6+, have no qualms and trust me on this.

The 6+ is definitely more sluggish than the 6. It's like using the same graphics card powering full HD vs WHQD resolutions. I don't think they can produce the same fps unless it's a very powerful graphics processor which isn't the case on the A8 chip.

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.

Thanks for the detailed response. I think I'll go down to the nearest store and play with both the 6 and 6+ again before I make my decision.

I think only those who have used both or own both can really tell whether the Iphone 6+ is much more sluggish than the 6. whistling.gif

Trust me, I've owned and used both 6 and 6+, there's really a difference biggrin.gif Although it's minor and not a life/death matter but you can definitely feel it at times. Not to mention I own all sorts of different Apple products from iPad 3, Air, Mini, MacBook and all those iFag stuffs laugh.gif

If you want a big screen and good battery life, go for the 6+. I guess that's the only reason.

At first my main concern was battery life, but after checking out the battery test results at gsmarena, I think both models should easily outlast my current one (54h vs 61h & 79h).

Anyhow, I'll update here once I've made my purchase. Barring any complications, I should be buying it through the Apple online store.

Don't think you can block No Called ID on stock iOS. But I read iBlacklist ($12) can do that, but you need to jailbreak first.

Moving from 6 to 6+, there's indeed a slight sluggish. It's also very easy to test and reproduce the problem. It's not something that's very serious but just that you can't expect it to be as fluid as the 6 smile.gif what I've done was jailbreak the phone, turn off some unused services (daemons) using iCleaner Pro and it's much better now.

Go check it out on youtube bro haha. I think the erica griffin did a nice comparison between the 6 and 6 plus. In one of her videos she showed very clearly where you could easily see the 'sluggish-ness' of the 6 plus when performing various actions tongue.gif

Seriously guys. Comparing min sluggishness that u might only notice if actively hunting for it, vs 1.8x battery life and full hd real estate? The first can be minimized by closing background apps when not using, while bigger eye friendly full had screen and longer battery cannot be resolved without help of external hardware.
If u have not used Samsung b with all its bloat ware b4, u dunno what sluggish really means. I know coz I upgraded from s4.

Go figure...

I think it's fine because everyone has different priorities and likings. Some people might not mind the sluggishness, some would smile.gif The thread is about sharing experiences so I think it's alright to discuss what people are concerned about. On the other hand, Samsung vs Apple is another comparison altogether so let's not getting mixed up with 6 and 6+ comparison.

Izzit? Don't recall seeing u in the s4 forum...
Everything works perfect especially the seamless synching with my iPad and iPhone.
However, missed the direct "share to whatsapp group chat" feature very much. And the built-in data usage 1 month cycle chart where u can set the date ur telco renew the data quota.

iOS can only share to messages , unless u JB... And every month have to go reset data usage ourselves.
The rest of the features , moved on with no regrets.

Cant compare the s4 and iphone 6 as they are from different worlds. However I dont find the s4 as sluggish as you said. I did experience sluggishness with the s4 but that was due to a bad restore from another previous phone.

Ya I agreed with TOMEI, many reviews also stated there is not much difference between 6 and 6+ camera. The real difference is the screen estate and battery life. Seriously hope the sluggishness in 6+ will be solved soon.

OK, from what I know OIS on the 6 Plus helps when taking pictures especially in low-light, for video recording, both use software based stablization called Cinematic Video Stabilization.

I've been using iPhone since 3GS and historically, all latest iPhones are very fluid and smooth with the latest iOS. There wasn't one generation that has any form of "sluggish" except the 6+ now. One of the key reason why I prefer iPhone is because of it's "smoothness" and responses are spot on, snappy. Of course I would love that the 6+ have these characteristics as well smile.gif Maybe Apple should have used A8X on the 6 plus instead? That little lag is surely a turn off in my opinion.

In all honesty, where does the sluggishness actually occur? I honestly can't feel it or tell at all hahahaha.

It's normal. Artificial lighting has certain flickering frequency and when you shoot slow-mo it's really obvious.

The remax slim 0.1mm is good for its price. But my iphones are on normal sp as I dont prefer glass sp.

why not?

1. your area must be a fully supported range be it LTE or 3G
2. have WIFI... then on WIFI
3. no gaming
4. phone brightness 30% below

Look at how Tomei use the phone from the image.... no heavy usage.... that is normal phone usage.... i once can get 11hours with 9% left with only using facebook, chats, flipboard, calls, sms.... now got play games... can still get 7 hours usage

Actually no, everything still moves smoothly. I never get any lag especially with notifications even during games. My only complaint that Simcity has to restart when a calendar reminder comes in.

I'm not quite sure if this is the right channel but I'm experiencing some difficulties with setting up my iPhone.

Fiance gave me his iPhone without deleting his iCloud by resetting the phone. Another issue - he keyed in wrong id - different from his registered id.

How can I fix this?

Many thanks in advance!

How can your fiancee key in the wrong id which is not his to activate the phone in the first place?

Second, without a proper password to the apple id on the phone, you cant deactivate/reset the phone now. Are you sure its not a stolen/loss phone that is in your hands now?

Hey guys after reading through several pages of this thread, I am starting to actually think of getting a 6 instead of 6+ but my main concern is the battery life, reviews say that the battery isn't that good but still acceptable so may I know how well is it and can it last me for a day? (mobile data/wifi on, texting, messaging, social networks, maybe some games and music) I won't be watching a lot of videos on my phone though. Thanks!

I can say it would be sufficient for one day usage for normal browing, fbing, whatsapping etc. The battery life is much better than the 5s so you can be sure it will be good enough for one day usage.

With my experience testing the 6+,
You'd often get this little jerk whenever you opened the tabbed view in Safari, especially when you had more than 3 or 4 open tabs. Also when you drag down for Spotlight. There was also slight lag whenever you opened an app in portrait orientation and then changed to landscape view within the app and then exited back to the home screen, or vice versa (this I have also experienced on Android tablets like the Nexus 7). Fwiw, this was with iOS 8.0.x so the issue may not exist now with after the newer 8.1.x updates. Dunno. Either way I'm getting the regular 4.7" model, not because of any lag issues, but because one-handed use is still pretty important for me.

Yes its better try to restore. I have the battery drain problem few days ago where my iphone6 become warm when browsing with safari which leads to severe battery drain. No problem with ios 8.1.1. Very weird problem as it is very sudden. Restore 8.1.2 and so far its become normal. My wife iphone 5s with ios 8.1 also have the same problem which leads to restoring to ios 8.1.2. Luckily 8.1.2 is jailbreakable, if not that would made me very upset. I suspect its somehow got to do with ios 8 bugs since i can see the cpu process is not normal during idle which should be less than 15% (using lirum app).

I concur though I would think that the main cause of battery drain to be apps running in the background even when u exited the app or the home button pressed. Like mentioned a complete erase and restore is absolutely necessary.

I don't need to achieve records with battery life, but don't want the phone to die on me when I have one of those long 14 or 15 hours day. I guess the 6 Plus can probably do that, but am curious if the 6 can do that too. Either way, everyone's usage will be different so there's no one screenshot that can fit all.

I saw the Remax 0.1mm which I think is the thinnest. Make sure you get a thin one, a thick glass sp makes the phone bulkier.

Anyone using Nillkin CP+ tempered glass? If you're, then what cover-all-edges case are you using? I asked this since the tempered glass itself is quite thick and hence not compatible with some cases, like my Incipio NGP.

Thanks boss but unfortunately that's the iPhone 6+ and until Apple decides to put a better processor, I think it'll stay the same. I jailbreak it, disabled some daemons and it is slightly better now. I never had any lags/stutter on my iPhone 6 though but the bigger screen attracted me more I guess.

Oh yeah, my Honor 3c is still impressive, 8D7H now with 24% battery left and I did use it for hotspot, for 45 minutes though. tongue.gif With 24%, it still can last at least two more days. biggrin.gif

Too bad you are in KL, last Saturday SenQ in Melaka got 5 units of 64gb Gold. But on that day itself all sold out.... I believe the stock for 64gb in SenQ will be coming in every week. Perhaps, you could try to call SenQ in KL frequently to check out. Cheer!

Actually buy a phone and just enjoy it, don't need to keep saving battery juice for the sake of extra few hours. I won't do that if I know my phone battery is impressive. If it can last a day is good enough for me.
Oh well, you may say I'm very cincai type. laugh.gif

ya lo.... got battery bank nowadays.... can charge it 3 times with 10500 or depend on the pb juice.

I saw the Remax 0.1mm which I think is the thinnest. Make sure you get a thin one, a thick glass sp makes the phone bulkier.

if you have case... then it does not seem big diff....

if naked phone then yes.... can see slight diff.

With my experience testing the 6+,
You'd often get this little jerk whenever you opened the tabbed view in Safari, especially when you had more than 3 or 4 open tabs. Also when you drag down for Spotlight. There was also slight lag whenever you opened an app in portrait orientation and then changed to landscape view within the app and then exited back to the home screen, or vice versa (this I have also experienced on Android tablets like the Nexus 7). Fwiw, this was with iOS 8.0.x so the issue may not exist now with after the newer 8.1.x updates. Dunno. Either way I'm getting the regular 4.7" model, not because of any lag issues, but because one-handed use is still pretty important for me.
*
I see, nowonder I don't face the issue with the lag.

1) I use Chrome like 99% of the time
2) I use a zoomed view so I can't get the landscape orientation of the home screen as well
3) Yeah spotlight lags a little bit i just realised hahaha

Oh well, already signed 1 year contract doh.gif

I want 6 Plus. blush.gif SenQ posted so big on its Facebook on Friday that 64GB 6 Plus have been restocked nationwide. I called immediately after few minutes it was posted, to the Seremban outlet though and was told no stock came in, expected this week. Then, I saw comments flooding in on the page telling none of the branches has stock. I was in SenQ Seremban yesterday and asked which day of this week will have stock, the fellow said this week will not have stock. rclxub.gif

Hmmm, I can safely say that loads of people will be thronging the Mac City in KL Festival City to get their hands on the iPhone 6, once word gets out on availability of stock over there, haha! cool2.gif

But of course, if this fails, just get it online and if you're like me, the iPhone should be at your door step within 2-3 days from the time you place the order and make payment! rclxm9.gif

It's 6 plus gold color, 5 units in SenQ Melaka last Saturday. It's weird that only Melaka had... Anyway, wish you good luck in hunting for 6 plus 64gb. smile.gif

I missed the boat actually due to want to buy space grey and didn't buy it on the spot last Saturday. When I went back the next day morning all sold out, left 6 plus 16gb and ip6 128gb... sad.gif

Apple states all RMA'ed units are seed units. Seed units are defined as which is what is actually used by Apple everywhere for warranty replacements. They are indistinguishable from factory new units as all mechanical parts and everything you touch is new. They are subjected to more quality control evaluations than factory new.

Yes, if you read back on this thread, you will a notice a few forummers who experienced the same problem. Try a clean reset and see network turns back on. If not Im afraid you have to send it back for RMA.

Okay, sucky experience.

Apple contacted me and told me that there's an issue again. On my request, my order's been cancelled. In the online store however, the order is still listed as "Preparing for shipment". Best part is that since I used a debit card to make the purchase, my funds are still in hold by the bank. Apple says they've already reverted payment but it usually takes the banks 7-10 working days to refund the payment, whereas my bank is telling me that unless Apple's appointed bank voids the transaction, the money will stay in hold for a month.

Did you order for a cancelllation? If you did, Apple will need to process your cancellation and then revert the money back into your debut card and before your bank receives this 'transaction' from Apple, your money will still be held by your banks. It could take days and weeks before you see this transaction appear on your account.

Apple's policy of returns for a 14 day period from the day you received your phone states that they will take your complete set of Iphone and replace it with a brand new set OR refund you your money. If you RMA after 14 days, then you will get a seed unit in replacement, most probably within a week or so.

All cancellation have to wait especially with debit card. No matter with apple or any other purchase, it will never be so fast. two weeks to one month at least.

Did you order for a cancelllation? If you did, Apple will need to process your cancellation and then revert the money back into your debut card and before your bank receives this 'transaction' from Apple, your money will still be held by your banks. It could take days and weeks before you see this transaction appear on your account.
*
Yes, when they told me they had difficulty processing my order, I told them to cancel it. Now that money is stuck in hold until the transaction is voided by their bank. My bank over here says they're waiting for the other party to void the transaction before they release the funds to me. Problem is some banks don't void the transactions, they leave it unclaimed, and it goes back to the buyer's account - which in my case, is one month's time.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they get the issue sorted out ASAP.

Just ask them to send the damn phone if they dont want to cancel it.

Btw, you can get yours from Mac City or Machines here. Some of the resellers have ready stocks already.

Apple states all RMA'ed units are seed units. Seed units are defined as which is what is actually used by Apple everywhere for warranty replacements.  They are indistinguishable from factory new units as all mechanical parts and everything you touch is new.  They are subjected to more quality control evaluations than factory new.

I guess seed units can be sets from any country?

Already cancelled. Apple tells me that they've already instructed their bank to revert the payment. Now the issue is my funds are stuck in hold because my local bank still hasn't received instruction from merchant's bank to revert the payment to me.

I was thinking of doing just that (cash is so much less troublesome) but I can't afford to until I get my funds back.

Edit: Just called Apple for clarification. Apparently there was some confusion because of the cancellation. The online system is up-to-date, i.e. my order has indeed been prepared for shipment. They've also assured me that they won't be double-billing my card.

I suggest you ask them to just process and send the phone rather than wait for it to be refunded.

Hi guys! New ip6 user here. I'm still not familiar with ios as I've been an android user all this years.

I've a question. I have a duplicate installed apps list on settings. It goes like:

[ Twitter >
[ FB >
[ etc >

[ Some Widget >

[ Apps A >
[ Apps B >
[ Apps C >


[ Apps C >
[ Apps A >
[ Apps B >
[ Apps D >

Why are there 2 sets of Apps A, B, and C? For some apps, both settings are the same. For others, the other list is empty/incomplete.

Should not happen even if you restore from Itunes many times. Try clean restore and see if problem persists.

Apple's policy of returns for a 14 day period from the day you received your phone states that they will take your complete set of Iphone and replace it with a brand new set OR refund you your money. If you RMA after 14 days, then you will get a seed unit in replacement, most probably within a week or so.
*
10 days for Apple Store Malaysia. For US and some countries, the return policy is 14 days.

Refer no 14 and 15.

*Ouch* . Could be a bump especially on the corner of the screen which cause this. However your best option right now would be to send it back to authorized Apple Service centres to get it repaired. I've heard that it would cost around rm1.2k to replace the screen. I would not suggest you got repair it with outside repairers though as the screen may not be original.

The saddest way to end my 2014 cry.gif Even sadder part is it's never been dropped, and has been a good bumper case from Spigen from day 1. Anyone else experiencing this hairline crack issue? No scuff no dent, it just happened. This ain't no ghost story yo

Wah..
I was informed that single hairline is under warranty. Just go to Apple Authorised Service Centre.
Here is the reference :

If u have more than a hairline, it's considered accident which not covered under warranty.

Yeah, thanks for all the help getting it. notworthy.gif

Now currently on the hunt for proper protection. I think I made a mistake ordering the silicone case from Apple. I very much prefer a full-coverage skin.

Im using the normal see through backcovers from ROCK. There are cheap and shows of the shape and contours of the Iphones well. Whatever you buy, make sure you get those that covers the back camera as the camera is "outside" the phone. You will get what I mean when you get the phone later.

Every Sp manufacturer and seller claims their Glass Sp is tough enough to protect the screen. We will see how true is that when your friend opens up the glass sp.

If you haven't registered it yet, I think there shouldn't be any issue with the warranty.

Of course, if you have your doubts, just check with Apple to be clear! rclxms.gif

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.

If yours is a telco set. U must claim your warranty at the telco. And the warranty i heard is tag to the line u sign up contract for. So trading is not so advisable

I received three emails. First once I placed order, it's an acknowledgment notification telling Apple has received my order request. Once it's shipped, then it's shipment notification for my tracking details. Lastly, this tax invoice that came not long after shipment notification email. biggrin.gif

no laa... i think this kind of procedure only applied long time ago... it is not necessary to claim warranty from people that tagged to the registered plan. nowadays its easier to claim the warranty, as long as u bring the service card.

but from my experience with maxis and celcom, they didn't ask me for the service card. because they can check all the details through their system (using phone serial number of course).

Hi guys, I'm planning to purchase the Iphone 6 from the Apple Online Store. However I'm unsure of which telco plan to subscribe to after that. I don't really make many calls so more data capacity would be great. I've read around and still am undecided on which plan to get which is worth it. Please advise! Thanks!

@nysone,
If you're not buying your iPhone tied to a plan then go with the usual plan. There are different plans out there, Voice plans, data plans… What are you using right now? If you don't want to change numbers or telco, keep to the same telco but use a different / better rate plan.

@nysone,
If you're not buying your iPhone tied to a plan then go with the usual plan.  There are different plans out there, Voice plans, data plans… What are you using right now?  If you don't want to change numbers or telco, keep to the same telco but use a different / better rate plan.

I'm currently using a Supplementary Line from Maxis and I'm going to cut off once I purchase the new Iphone. I'm thinking of subscribing to the Maxis Surfmore 75 plan but I'm not sure if that's the best plan in the market right now. I don't mind changing telcos.

Maxis SurfMore 75 is for 5GB right? Kinda worth for it if you want more data. smile.gif

@nysone,
You can continue using your Supplementary Line - if that plan is sufficient for you? How much is your phone bill currently?

My call charges for last month were RM12.00 and RM98 for internet and monthly commitment. What do you think of the DG Smartplan 78 or 108? seems quite worth it too since it includes minutes.

If you want a little bit of bundled voice call and SMS, you may check out Celcom First 88, this plan is bundled with 5gb data, 60 minutes of voice calls (to all network) and 60 SMS (to all network).

If you ask me, Surfmore 75 is the best plan from Maxis. Get 5gb data for RM75, which is the cheapest data plan compared to all Telcos. And if exceed the 5gb quota, still can surf without additional data purchase, though the speed is very very slow

Same here. On SM50 but usually on the last week before my billing I would get the warning message of hitting 80% of my quota. So one week of managing my data usage before next billing cycle, haha. SM75 would be a bit overkill, although you could argue it's only RM25 extra for 3GB more. If the maxis OnePlan at RM128 had 3GB of data then I'd go for that but they want 158 for 3GB. Greedy fellas....

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.

Saw this on Reddit this morning. Although I think it's common sense that a 16GB device won't have 16GB of usable space, it's quite clear that such a small amount of space is pointless given the size of updates/apps these days. The reason this issue is more pronounced on Apple products is because they don't offer expandable storage.

Some people dont download alot of games/songs/videos/pictures.

So i guess 16gb is perfectly fine for those people, or for those who transfer their pictures regularly. Its basically more than enough.

Given the increasing trend of iOS update size, it's fair to assume that even users with relatively minimal storage needs will encounter issues with insufficient space by the time they've moved up to iOS 9. I have a strong feeling the 6/6+ will be the last batch of iPhones to stock 16GB, with the next refresh starting at 64GB. Correct me if I'm wrong, but sales of the current batch have already indicated a customer preference for more than 16GB.

I know a few, excluding the ones in the owners list.

Most of them use cloud storage. Took photo, auto upload to cloud, then delete from camera roll.

Music, movies, etc. all use cloud storage.

So internet is very important.

That cloud storage bit is very true. In the comments of the article posted, one reader points out that Apple's idea of a 16GB unit is supplemented by their cloud storage, pushing users to invest in paid iCloud plans. Personally, I don't understand why people don't just use multiple cloud storage solutions and split their data among them, eg. iCloud for apps, Dropbox for pictures, Box for documents etc.

Well, I change phones every year (much to my wife's annoyance) so maybe I won't be able to use up 64GB in a year anyway. Besides, since the 6 Plus is Apple's first venture into phablet territory I'm sure the next gen one will be much better smile.gif

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 you are talking about whats in the future, i guess its just some guessing which nobody can confirm or know. Whether iOS 9 will need more space is still unknown as we have no idea whats up apple sleeve and what are they trying to do. Who knows it will be surprisingly shocking that iOS might required lesser space etc. Its all a mystery.
Hahaha.. So whether 6/6+ will be the last batch for 16gb or not, its too early to tell. And your sales of current batch, where did u get the figures from? Malaysia only? doesnt mean the rest of the world like the western country they all prefer 64gb onwards. Who knows they are the people who prefer 16gb etc. haha...

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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 heard Japan phones cannot mute the camera sound as too many perverts there taking 'secret' photos. Check if it's true b4 buying.

Today, my iPhone 6 froze on home screen and did not respond to touch, (for the first time lol). But Home button+Sleep/Wake button reset fixed it.

Just happened? Gosh, that is weird. I wonder how you are gonna claim warranty coz looking at the crack, they may claim you have dropped it before...

*Ouch* . Could be a bump especially on the corner of the screen which cause this. However your best option right now would be to send it back to authorized Apple Service centres to get it repaired. I've heard that it would cost around rm1.2k to replace the screen. I would not suggest you got repair it with outside repairers though as the screen may not be original.
Congrats. After so much headache, you got your phone at last. Welcome to the club. rclxms.gif

Yeap. RM1.2k to get it fixed at Mac City. I dare you to use a magnifying glass to scrutinize the corner of the affected area or even the whole screen. I bet you won't find a single scratch / dent / scuff or whatsoever

QUOTE(siawgu @ Dec 31 2014, 10:32 AM)
Wah..
I was informed that single hairline is under warranty. Just go to Apple Authorised Service Centre.
Here is the reference :

If u have more than a hairline, it's considered accident which not covered under warranty.

Yes indeed. I googled and found out that a few users are experiencing this (very rare case). Some tried their luck at their local apple store and succeed to get it replaced for free and some failed. Their mileage varies

My friend's iPhone 6 has a quite deep scratch on the tempered glass protector. She didn't drop the phone or knock on anything. She always holds the phone in her hands. Just happened last night. sweat.gif doh.gif

Aw snap. Hopefully the scratch didn't penetrate thru to the screen. Fingers crossed. Please let us the netizens know what the outcome is

Update:

1) Went to Mac City in Aeon Bandaraya Melaka; they need to send to Apple Singapore to inspect it and wait for its outcome. There's a high chance that it's not covered and I'll have to bear the cost of repair

2) Contacted Apple Singapore, explained everything and was asked whether I want a refund or replacement. Picked replacement

3) Was redirected to Apple South East Region HQ in Australia, further investigated by its CSR, and was asked to ship it back to Singapore and pay for the screen replacement. I debated about it and the issue got escalated to Apple Senior Service something2 I can't remember

4) Greeted by a lady (that Senior stuff) and was requested to send photos of the iPhone thru email

5) Later on in the evening, the lady gave me a phone call and delivered a very disappointing news saying that since it's just a cosmetic damage and its functionality is not affected, I'll have to pay to get it replaced

6) Went on to discuss with this lady and cited similar cases happened worldwide. She said she will talk to the investigation team and will come back in 10 mins

7) 10 mins later, received a good news from the lady! She said that the screen will be replaced FOC and has put some remarks on my case number so that the service center is aware of the case and the outcome

8) Went to Mac City Service Centre at 1 Utama and provided the case number to the staff. Was requested to leave my phone there and they will send back to Singapore for further inspection (same case as my my item no. 1 up there) even after I showed them my email conversation with the lady

9) Went on to email the Apple Senior Stuff from Aussie and she replied that she will directly call the staff at Mac City to clarify the issue

10) Got a call from her and was requested to go back to Mac City 1 Utama after she has got things sorted out

11) Went to the Service Centre again today, iPhone was re-examined and a report was produced. New replacement phone will arrive in 5 - 7 working days and I get to keep my phone while waiting for it

Phew I'm glad my case will work out well (hopefully) eventho it took quite a lot of effort and time. I have forked out a whopping RM3150 to buy the phone outright and the fact that I have to spend another RM1.2k for a defect screen just doesn't make any sense.

2007 and still counting. I'll keep on being a loyal user if such a great after sales service is sustained

Wah so similar case as me. At least Mac city , unlike machines, never accuse u of anything and reject ur claim.
Ya show how unhappy u r with Apple, and they will just replace for u. Customer satisfaction is their higher priority.
Imagine u bought from reseller, they say no claims means u r in dead end.

Given the increasing trend of iOS update size, it's fair to assume that even users with relatively minimal storage needs will encounter issues with insufficient space by the time they've moved up to iOS 9. I have a strong feeling the 6/6+ will be the last batch of iPhones to stock 16GB, with the next refresh starting at 64GB. Correct me if I'm wrong, but sales of the current batch have already indicated a customer preference for more than 16GB.


That was Apple's strategy all along, and the main reason why they never replaced the 16GB with a 32GB. They wanted potential buyers to question whether 16GB was enough and pay $100USD more for the 64GB version. The update debacle (and the resulting bad press) due to insufficient space for iOS8 updates is a bit of karma coming back to bite them, imho... or maybe they planned that as well, who knows.

My 2 cents;
If you're the type that syncs/backups/updates with the Mac/Windows iTunes application, then I suspect 16GB will be fine. If you're the type who only does updates OTA (like many new iPhone users), then 64GB is the minimum you should get.

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.

It will depend on the casing you use. If using bumper type cases should be no problem. But if using those cases with small cut out for the camera, the ring wont fit

Back in Canada I didn't have to go thru all this. All I had to do; Make a phone call to book an appointment, walk in, replicate / show them the issues, voila there you go a new phone for you.

Just believe in customers rights. If it's clearly not your fault, you gotta stand up for yourself. Don't fall prey to this injustice treatment. Besides, you've spent a huge amount of money and after all there's no harm trying

If you're buying from DiGi then yes it's free. I bought my phone from the store I don't want to lose my current plan. I've been on their postpaid line for over 7 years and none of the newer plans can match the old rates.

I'm curious what plan is that? It is supposed to be more competitive over the years.

By the way, I'm using its Ambassador Plan for 8 years and still counting. laugh.gif 50% discount for 3GB data which is RM 34 only per month and free RM 50 for DiGi usage. My monthly usage is around 36 bucks only because the RM 34 is fixed. The person I call the most is my mum and she's using DiGi, and I have free RM 50 to call her, RM 0.10/minute. laugh.gif tongue.gif

But data needs to pay additional right? As in you need to add a separate data plan and it doesn't come with any bundled data right?
When you mentioned 7 years, I kinda can guess should be this. My plan uses DG50 as basis, all the call rate is same as DG50 but because I put my mum as FnF so it is 0.10/minute. smile.gif

Yes, data is additional. I'm a subline, and I pay at most RM35 a month including data. I'm mostly on WiFi, so I opted for the cheapest data plan which is RM28 for 600MB.

Not too bad. Main to supp calls used to be unlimited, now I rarely follow DiGi plans anymore, I think it may have implemented cap for free calls.
Still I will understand why you didn't switch. laugh.gif

its already a known fact that ip6 battery almost similiar to ip5S..which is kinda bad. there are some who say that the battery is good but i assume most of their smart functions must be turned off and phone on 2g only. for me, if wanna off all the functions, mightself just buy a 3310.

My friend sometimes plays games, normal usage and doesn't turn off the mobile data, has LTE and stuff, lasts a day or slightly more than a day.
Anyway, everyone has different usage pattern, so it may vary from one to another one. biggrin.gif
Obviously playing games will drain battery juice, a lot. smile.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 +.

That is pretty good,although your usage is mostly phone calls and I don't think that consumes as much battery as the screen would be off. Still very good standby stats.

Apple claims it would be 30% better, though most people I know with the 6 claims it's more or less the same. Maybe based on usage patterns.

Hmmm, mine can give me around 2-3 hours of battery life on a single charge, and without plugging it into my car's auxiliary port to play music. Normally I use this iPhone for calls, texting (including WhatsApp), Internet access, appointment scheduling, taking notes, and photo-taking. biggrin.gif

Of course, when I indulge in all-out gaming (e.g. Asphalt 8, Football Manager 2015, Bejeweled, Stick Tennis, or Angry Birds), the battery life will become significantly shorter! biggrin.gif

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!
