Order from SenQ 6 weeks ago. Still waiting for my Gold iPhone 6 Plus 64GB sad.gif

6 Weeks? shocking.gif

But still better than those who preordered from Maxis. Some have not gotten the phone yet and its like 2 months already. laugh.gif

For wifi download apps, load webpages and play YouTube video, do anyone feel that iPhone is slighty slower on iPhone than android all the time?

This is based on my past experience of owning both iPhone & android phone.
Previously owned iPhone 3GS, 4, 4s, 5 & current 6+.
Previously android user for htc desire hd, Samsung s2, s3, note 3, & htc one.

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.

guys... for a not hardcore take picture or video, is it iphone 6+ 16gb enough for use ?
or need to take 64gb ?
*
Like mentioned, 16gb is good enough for light users.

QUOTE(trade99 @ Dec 20 2014, 09:35 PM)
what about transfer to PC ? coz im just normaly using...
*
A lot of people used up a lot of space because they keep every picture they take or received through sosial messaging apps.

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.
*
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.

QUOTE(ccy1989 @ Dec 23 2014, 11:11 AM)
That is because:

iPad air 2 is using A8X processor while iPhone 6/6+ is only using A8 processor.
*
Dont forget it is the 2GB ram versus 1GB ram which makes the difference.

Received my phone last night and got really mad about it.

Manufacturing defect. Should I return the phone as it's a long process...

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.

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

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.

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

Hard to decide between 6 and 6 plus? Simple, get both like I did. No regrets. laugh.gif

QUOTE(EdwinCodec @ Dec 24 2014, 06:56 PM)
Yeah! But, I've got to wait until next Tuesday only they send the courier over...

Well at least u have an iphone to use until tuesday. You will be given a brand new unit. Not so bad.

6+

simply for the camera and battery life. awesome.

The only difference between the two is that the iPhone 6 Plus features optical image stabilization (OIS) while its smaller counterpart does not. Personally i dont see much difference though.

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.

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

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...

Wooo fellow ex-S4 userrr here too hahaha!!! How are u feeling coming from it? Any regrets bro? biggrin.gif

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.

The phone is 60% of the time on wifi at office and at home. Otherwise on Maxis LTE. Location services on, icloud services on. Phone never turned off for 3 days 4 hours. I turn off display immediately when not in use.

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
*
Im on Auto Brightness. But I turn of display immediately when Im not using the phone.

out of suddent, my battery of iphone 6 become too bad ... I never install anything, I am using ios 8.1.2 but it was fine a week ago .. this week starting to drain very fast.

any idea?

First suspect would be location services. Is the little arrow on your status bar on top on for no apparent reason?

QUOTE(Gorgoroth @ Dec 27 2014, 01:13 PM)
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.

Try resetting and restoring the phone and see if battery life improves.
