QUOTE(androidpolis @ Sep 27 2015, 12:45 PM) Not true. It may be somewhat true 10 years ago when most ppl use feature phones. depends on people also. if cheapskate want buy cheap phone, then have to deal with shitty specs and i wish them good luck.Now it's also cheaper to buy smartphone especially android stuff.  |

QUOTE(chicaman @ Sep 27 2015, 11:54 AM) I think due to the poor currency and increase in price of iPhone 6S Plus thats why the demand is not so great nah the world demand also not that good. last time used to see queue up days before launch. plus, next 4-6 weeks very hard to get iphone unless very lucky. now? i can simply walk in and get one.Last time I used to think MYR3K+- is affordable. Nowadays, a decent storage version cost around MYR4K+ which is expensive IMHO |

Yes, it's also important to note that the USD strengthen against most other currencies too. Just that MYR is the worst, ha ha ha...

This time around, stock in Singapore is so in abundance that retailers are selling below RRP. Ip6S 16gb is priced at S$1k ( RRP S$1048). No waiting and queuing required !

QUOTE(FluffyTee @ Sep 27 2015, 12:03 PM) Agreed IOS is more battery optimized than Android. Of course I know what I'm talking about. I know Android uses Google Cloud Messaging but not all apps support that. Before I switched to an iPhone, China apps like Wechat,baidu or Weibo does't use GCM to send notifications (maybe because the china great firewalls). Worse still, many of the apps are poorly developed and read my location, my contacts and I didn't realize I am already forced to grant them when I installed the app. But ur fact are .. erm.. basically u don know what your talking at all.. Suggest u update/read up a lil before posting an essay. Android uses GCM. a common path way to send notification. While not identical in features, its the IOS version of APNS. GCM was introduced 3 years ago. But i do agree with u android will have difficulty in catching up to IOS battery life, because Android is a much more complex OS. Apple's IOS aims values stability, ease of use and simplicity, while Google's Android values openness choice and customization.. I used to have 4S and S4. Short history of the 2 OS. At stock settings, 4S battery > S4 battery, but in exchange S4 has more freedom than 4S, and i found my self using my S4 more for its camera, surfing, music, editing and etc stuff while my 4S is for receiving calls and replying whatsapp messages. After optimization (root and jailbreak), both phones perform similar in battery life and usage capabilities. What i do notice after customization, i found myself more likely to add app/mods from Cydia to add more features thats missing/restricted on my 4S, and add apps/mods from xda to suppress/remove unnecessary features thats hogging performance and battery from my S4. Not really happy with my Android experience with G2 (because my friends told me that Snapdragon 801 shouldn't suffer from lag). The more apps I install, the worse the phone become. Maybe I'm not just as technical as you and I just need a phone that works. TBH, I've used a Windows phone before( Nokia Lumia 800 ) and it was snappy from the start till the end (tho having a limited app store until I gave up). I guess everyone just have their preferences. |

No waiting and queuing required ! The 16gb is not selling well vs 64gb.Infact I noted most 3rd party resellers are even quoting up to S$200 higher for the 128gb. 64gb are cheaper by average S$100. |

What is horrible to old uncle may look great for younger ppl. i am not an old uncle but the rose gold still doesn't appeal to me. from what i can think, RG only can appeal: a. ladies with good taste b. men with bad taste c. people who need to show off they have iPhone 6S the easy flashy way. |

QUOTE(androidpolis @ Sep 27 2015, 05:55 PM) Funny that u can comment on the appearance when haven't seen actual unit. Yeap, don't mind people's thinking as long you're brave enough to use slight "female colour"I have one and rose gold is gorgeous. May suit ladies more but it's still classy and men with confidence will have no issue with it. |

QFT!from what i can think, RG only can appeal: a. ladies with good taste b. men with bad taste c. people who need to show off they have iPhone 6S the easy flashy way. I would recommend the pink (stop calling it Rose Gold already, you're not fooling anyone, Apple!) iPhone to the womenfolk, they've been sidelined all these while in favor of male-oriented colors. Apple's trying to tap into that other market segment more aggressively. Some things are generally accepted universally. There are exception to the norm, like skirts are for women, but the Scots wear kilts for example, and they wear it manly, but pink ain't for the men. More power to you if you want a pink iPhone and don't care what others think about you sporting a pink phone, but like it or not, (or maybe it's just the rebel in you), you'll be looked upon with that same stereotypical thought. Same reason why when men look lustfully at men, we're called a pervert, but when women do that, it's called idolizing and totally accepted. Some things are just accepted that way. So does the color pink when it comes to gender association. |

Seems that more men are getting comfy with rose gold/pink. It's a matter of taste I suppose, tho traditionally it would be more suited to ladies.
Interestingly enough, more women are now moving towards muted colours research is showing. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/201...ades-with-women |

A cursory look at the article and the term "peacocking" men and splashes of photos of men in fashion shows. Sort of proves my point really. I did mention effeminate. And we all know fashion ain't exactly manly either. Interestingly enough, more women are now moving towards muted colours research is showing. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/201...ades-with-women I play the matching game too, like that male nursing student in that article (heh, "nurse", male....another misalignment of profession and gender, but getting more and more biased-removed now). Matching gold 2015 Macbook, gold Apple Watch with antique white band, and gold iPhone 6S Plus now. I'm just thankful I dont gravitate towards red and its hues of colors, else I'd be even "considering" that pink iPhone. *shudder*  |
