an increase in RAM, megapixels battery capacity for the S version wouldn't hurt.. plus i hope they fill up that gap for the bendgate.

yeap i have it too. quite annoying as you have to wait for a while before putting the phone up to your ear..

dang. did you use any case? where do you usually put your phone? bag? pocket? and is your pants/jeans tight/fitting? it might've bend while in your pocket with your thigh applying pressure on one end..

but is your pocket big enough? did your phone go all the way in or was it sticking out? nah man this ain't no variability, this is what everyone was talking about; bendgate. and Apple said the same thing as they did before with antennagate; use (back then was hold, but you get my point) your phone properly. they blaim us back. what they don't get it is it's not like we purposely want to bend our phone. it's a flaw in the phone (which affects all of us) where "there's a specific weak point on the inside of the chassis right beneath the volume buttons that allows it to bend very easily with pressure added in the right place" (Esposito, 2014). so it's definitely not a variability because all of us have the same motherboard layout with the same weak hollow point right beneath the volume buttons. i highly doubt that some iPhone 6's have different internal layouts.

so it's not your fault, it's theirs. but in the end they will end up pointing the finger back to you and ask you to use the phone properly. if you really don't mind, then you can just live with it. if not, then you can try your luck. as to how and which method is the best, i am unable to answer that for you unfortunately due to never claiming my iPhone warranty before/yet.

anyone experienced bendgate and try claiming for warranty? mind sharing your experience?

either the case count is low or there are other members that still don't realize that their phone is warped.

waliao so expensive.. upgrading to a higher capacity model is cheaper than this haha

yeah i thought the new gen batteries can just charge until full and use like normal. what i don't get is the numerous battery maintenance tips; i don't which one is actually useful and which has no effect whatsoever

Do you mean permanently deleting your app from your Apple ID in the Appstore? Example; you downladed Angry Birds, you deleted it, but when you go to the Appstore and search Angry Birds again there is a cloud icon with an arrow facing down instead of a 'Get' icon as well as being in the Purchased apps? If that is the case, unfortunately i don't think you can do anything about it now. Previously Apple allowed you to permanently delete the app and make it as if you have never downloaded the app before (slide left to delete). If i am not mistaken Apple have disabled that feature and now you can't permanently delete the app so whatever app that you have downloaded will forever be linked to your Apple ID for now.

yeah i experienced this problem on iOS 8.3. for me, the freezing/stuttering will occur on Chrome and high graphic games (so far those using Unreal Engine like Injustice, Mortal Kombat X, Infinity Blade, etc). as far as i know there is no solution as of now, that's why i downgraded to iOS 8.2. hopefully they'll get it fixed in iOS 8.4

depends on the bugs though cause i haven't experience any other severe bugs other than some apps freezing and stuttering.

Can downgrade, but only for a certain period of time. After the iOS 8.3 update rolled put, Apple was still signing the iOS 8.2 firmware. So I downgraded to iOS 8.2 while they were still signing it. When they stop signing the firmware, then we cannot downgrade anymore. And you can only downgrade to the previous version and not simply jump to an older version like iOS 8.1 or 8.0.

I actually don't mind iOS 8.3; i really like the 2G/EDGE option and the animation was still snappy. It's just unfortunate that it has issues with some apps (apps and games that i use the most).

woah time really flies huh. just noticed that i've been using my phone for 8 months already and it still feels new to me, as if i've just gotten it last month. next thing we know is the next iPhone is coming out in 2 months time haha. quite interesting rumored specs though; 12mp cam, 5mp front facing cam (highly doubting this for some reason..), 2gb RAM (FINALLY.. if it's true), force touch (don't really bother about it..).. any other i missed out?

Correct me if I'm wrong; the higher the RAM, the less likely an app will refresh right? I saw a test comparing the S6 and Zenphone 2 4gb showing that the Zenphone 2's higher RAM stopped apps from refreshing when multitasking compared to the S6 which refreshed everytime due to the lower RAM. So I assume it would be the same for iPhones? It's annoying that my 6 would refresh my games whenever I multitask.

Oh i was not comparing between Android and iOS. I just wanted to confirm whether the same concept applies or not which is more RAM means less app refreshing. Seeing that the iPad Air 2 rarely refreshes its apps as you mentioned, hopefully the next iPhone version can benefit from that as well. It wouldn't hurt for them to jump to 3gb or 4gb straight though but knowing Apple, by 2018 or something only they will go that far haha

Yeah that's what's annoying me from time to time. Hopefully with more RAM the apps won't keep on refreshing itself

i'm using something like this. as small as it looks, it can actually fit a 6+ and car keys. it's elastic and waterproof (my phone was not wet from sweat and rain. haven't try dunking it in water though haha)

no problems here man. i'm on iOS 8.2 though

bought from this seller. my friend said that he saw it on Uztaz (Kota Damansara) as well but not sure if it is the exact same model or a similar product. other than that, i'm guessing any other handphone accessories shop would sell it as well..

the only (rumored) upgrade worth noting for me is the RAM. other than that i wouldn't see anything else compelling enough for me to upgrade to the 6S. the weak Ringgit is not helping either.. feel really lucky now buying it when it was first launched here. i would go for the 7 or 7S (if i had the patience like i had with my 4S haha)

thickness alone won't do it. it's the internal frame. there is no support at the bendable area. they can still maintain the current thickness, all they need to do is insert something the fill that gap. as for protruding camera, yeah not really and issue for as a forumer here mentioned earlier; most of us use cases that prevents the camera from touching the surface. we can also buy those cheapo camera rings to protect it if we choose to go naked.

yes, this.

i don't mind it being thicker. even if it is, i highly doubt it'll be that drastic. can you imagine the look on people's faces if they decide to stick with 1gb RAM for the new model hahah. the sheeps will be like "we don't need extra RAM, iPhone doesn't lag bla bla". i think the current battery life is okay, it's just the external apps' battery management that's problematic, like Whatsapp. but if Apple manages to extend the battery life even more, who's complaining! i'd welcome it with open arms haha. i'm okay with the current camera. it's good enough as it is, wouldn't imagine what an average user would do with more megapixels and higher resolution videos. not sure how force touch will work with other apps though. some games require rapid tapping (Injustice), so wouldn't ForceTouch affect that?
