Very much so.

Agreed. Previously the only reason I upgrade my phone is coz I usually buy the entry level 16GB one and by the time the next phone comes out I'm about 1GB or 2GB away from full storage capacity. This time with my 64GB one, I've got like 40GB of free space still... no definitely no upgrade for me

But the entry level should really start at 32GB... For me 64GB is proving to be a little bit of an overkill... Maybe it's the way I use the phone.

Me too.. tempted but don't dare, ha ha ha...

I wouldn't want 2 ip, one enough, hahaha...

(that said, i do have an ipad air 2, ipod touch and mba.. sigh...)

Hehehe... as long as it doesn't crash then should be OK. You just reminded me though, I could probably try to install iOS 9 on my son's iPad Mini

That being the case then I think I won't try the public beta for the sake of kiasi-ness, ha ha ha...

According to rumors, those would be the 2 biggest difference - 2GB RAM and camera. Also, maybe Force Touch. But not sure if that is enough to warrant an upgrade in these RM-depreciation, post-GST times...

But looking at your remaining storage, yeah, I guess you'll be upgrading!

I think a number of us have moved to iOS 8.4 for Apple Music. Does it still happen after you restart the phone?

For me personally, there's no major bugs with iOS 8.4. That said, I didn't encounter the bug while I was on 8.3 either so am not sure what could be the reason.

I guess your options are to do a clean restore and see if it solves the problem or take a leap of faith and go for iOS 8.4

And in other news today...

iPhone 6 glasses? You mean the screen? If so, give @Wimpykid a buzz

If they bring the split screen features of the iPad Air 2 to the next gen of iPhone with 2GB RAM then upgrading would be a no brainer, I guess. But somehow I have this feeling they may be reserving that feature just for the iPad...

Actually I'm surprised the Android competitors don't rake in more profits. For example, I've been eyeing an S6 Edge as a secondary device and the lowest price I've seen so far at our Garage Sales now for a new sealed one is RM2250. Considering it was launched at RM3,099 only three or four months ago, it does show how sizeable is the manufacturer's margin. I'm waiting for the price to dip below RM2000, heh heh...

Is that the usage time or standby time? If your standby time is below five hours then I think your battery has a problem.

I think I know what you mean. If I leave a game half way and do some browsing or reply some text messaging etc. then when I get back to the game, it restarts rather than pick up where I left it. The thing is if I return to the game relatively fast, maybe in a matter of minutes, then I do get to continue from where I left off. But if I left it idle for longer than say half an hour or an hour, then it does restarts. Interesting though, I always thought it was the way the game was designed or maybe it was an iOS behaviour to conserve battery... didn't think it was due to the RAM... Hmmm...

Or blind followers

This round got some people buy early price actually appreciate due to Apple adjusting the prices upwards due to our currency depreciation + GST

Hopefully...

Apple’s iPhone 6S will reportedly address a complaint that’s been bugging some iPhone owners

With its next iPhone, believed to be called the iPhone 6S, Apple will reportedly cut the 16 GB storage option and jump straight to 32 GB for the base model, according to a new report from M.I.C Gadget, a website that covers Chinese culture.

The website claims to have spoken with insiders at Foxconn, Apple’s main factory for iPhone production, which told it that the packaging for the next iPhone doesn’t indicate that there will be a 16GB storage option. The product packaging only shows 32GB, 64 GB, and 12 8GB storage options.

This lines up with a report from The Korea Times last month which suggested that Apple could be considering increasing the amount of storage that comes in the base iPhone model.

However, 9to5Mac’s Mark Gurman, who has an excellent track record when it comes to revealing unreleased Apple products, published images that supposedly show the internal components inside Apple’s next iPhone. Those photos included a 16GB flash storage chip, hinting that the iPhone 6s would start at 16GB, not 32GB.

That doesn’t necessarily mean reports from The Korea Times and M.I.C. Gadget are false — the photos that Gurman posted could have been an early model used for internal testing.

At the same time, it’s important to remember that M.I.C Gadget and The Korea Times’ reports may be off, too — it seems like the two publications are receiving information from Apple’s supply chain, which means it’s subject to change by the time Apple actually announces its next iPhone.

We won’t really know what to expect until Apple unveils the so-called iPhone 6s, which is expected to happen in early September.

If Apple does decide to increase the amount of storage that comes with the cheapest iPhone model, it would be addressing complaints that have surfaced over the past year or so from critics and iPhone owners. When iOS 8 launched last year, for instance, some iPhone owners couldn’t update their phones because they didn’t have enough storage on their devices.

Apple has already said it will make its next software update, iOS 9, smaller than iOS 8 so that users don’t have this problem, but we have yet to hear whether it will make any changes on the hardware side.

Apple thinks that since many users store data in the cloud today, some people can easily get by with only 16GB of storage.

“The belief is more and more as we use iCloud services for documents and our photos and videos and music, that perhaps the most price-conscious customers are able to live in an environment where they don’t need gobs of local storage because these services are lightening the load,” Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide marketing, said in an interview with Daring Fireball’s John Gruber in June.

But, that’s not necessarily the case for all shoppers that purchase the 16GB iPhone, especially since files like games, videos, photos, and music tend to eat up your storage rather quickly. Business Insider’s Caroline Moss, for instance, had to return her 16GB iPhone 6 because she said she received storage-almost-full warnings every day.

Other than different storage options, the iPhone 6S is expected to come with a new Force Touch screen, more color options, and a better camera.

We’ve reached out to Apple for comment and will update this post accordingly when we hear back.

Yes, Whatsapp is a battery drainer, especially if you have lots of group chat going on
