I believe you do not have the data but Apple is a company that spends very little money in marketing compared to the rest. Apple spends around $1.1B compared to Samsung approximately $14B. Apple is a brand/product that sells by itself and there's no need to even bother advertising.

If you drill down to Malaysian market for example, Apple has very limited adverts (compared to Samsung) and a lot of times it's the telco that advertises it. Apple's secret to success is to make people love the brand. When that happens, people will buy your products irregardless because they love it. Apple is very good at making extremely good margin out of their products and Apple earns a lot more for each iPhone sold compared to Samsung. This can also be seen based on their revenue (AAPL).

Note that I am taking Samsung as a comparison because at present time, they are still the no. 1 competitor to Apple.

i think samsung spends more money on coming out with products that people don't want every 2 weeks and ads that involve every single Apple devices.

Samsung even need lots of celebs to promote their product but at the end of the day, those celebs still pick up their iphone and use it.

do you guys really purchase a bulky case to protect your iPhone? every iPhone i used, i only use bumper, or those slim transparent type like the Case Neo Hybrid EX from Spigen.

you guys won't feel that made the phone become heavy and bulky ar?

what i mean by bulky case, example like Spigen Case Tough Armor Tech, Otterbox, Element case, something like this.. what's reason that you guy convince yourself to get those protective case? mind to share?
*
maybe if 6plus then yes.

but i'm using 6 and soon to be 6s, i use thin-mid-bulk cases. unlike most people here in US, either a bare phone with cracked screen or extremely bulky otterbox.

just saw someone with a 4s and the case is as bulky as an iphone 6

Seriously I dont see what the hype is about. Isn't the accessories the same for the 6/6+ with the 6S/6S+?

yeah but suddenly everyone's like oh i'm getting this casing that casing in preparation for my iphone.

never got that is previous threads before.

anyway all are 6 & 6 plus casings, rebranded.

QUOTE(harmeet15 @ Oct 3 2015, 03:37 PM)
i don't have a name.
its on the ground floor, a corner, facing entrance to parkson i think.
they'll have laptops, beat headphones, phones covered in colourful skins on display.
that is the one.

okay. will go and try and see... once i go back msia. thanks for the info icon_rolleyes.gif
QUOTE(xproc @ Oct 3 2015, 10:51 PM)
spigen air cushion confirm marketing gimmick... you got see any drop test with that case online? no....
i dont like the thick case... but adfter dropping my phone... at 1st i almost want to buy those thick case.... but now settle to rhino shield bumper, got some level of drop proof with minimum bulk added....
bulky case does the job... peace of mind...
i see quite some cracked screen for iphone already.... protection is important...
*
i've seen lots of cracked screen. looks like the americans got it out of the box, smash it on the floor till it cracks then only start using.

a lot of them envy that my 6 still looks like new phone will most of them have cuffs and cracked screens.

Why should Apple do so? People still buy their products even if they have to sell their kidneys. Remember, Apple can do no wrong!  tongue.gif

Lol someone butthurt go report this post. Still, got demand got supply.

Thats great info. Maybe winkiedilwy can post this up on the first page so that people need not ask this question over and over again.

Will do, but since Malaysia launching so fast I don't see the reason to buy US set.

By the way, AT&T will still be locked set even if bought outright, but AT&T makes it a lot easier to unlock it now.

QUOTE(G-17 @ Oct 6 2015, 12:51 AM)
One reason would be price. Let's take the most common model - 64GB iPhone 6
Currently, USD749 =  MYR3260. If it's as everyone expected to be around MYR3500 when released in Malaysia, then you stand to save 200+ MYR, or more. Probably not worth it if you go through a mail order company and have to pay delivery (plus risk of GST when entering Malaysia), but if you know someone coming back from the US then go ahead. The downside is that you lose local warranty.
*
I myself is in the US now, but I don't see the reason to get US set. 9% non-refundable tax and unless you get it at a tax-free state.

I rest my case study on butthurt ifags. tongue.gif

You will be surprised. Under this thread you have 3 very repeatedly asked questions over and over again.  shakehead.gif

1) If I buy an overseas set, will it be unlocked?

2) Does iphones have international warranty?

3) Should I get 16gb or 64gb?

Maybe you can create a faq on page 1 to answer all these questions? rolleyes.gif
*
1) it kinda depends on country tho. So far i only know US and Singapore set is fully unlocked. Need more info regarding other countries. UK still got locked set.

Okay guys just want to be sure.. if I buy from Apple Online Store, got problems, do I have to send to Apple Authorized Service Provider to inspect before getting a new device or I have to call only and tell them my problems and get a new one?
yawn.gif
Quite confused here.
Because I called Machines and they tell me that if thee's a problem within 7 days, they have to send to Machines at mid valley to check if really got problem, and if got problem will get to change new one...
I wonder if apple also have to go mid valley to check or just call then can change already
*
you can actually call AOS up and they'll send courier to pick it up from you.

it's easier and less hassle.

ok this is kinda weird. when i bought mine most of the colour already out of stock for 64gb. but now all stated 'pre-order' instead of 'out of stock'

edited: ok i called maxis and they said they just refresh the stock status and now all colour (including rose gold) for 64gb can still be pre-ordered. but since i've already made the order they cant change the colour that i want.  cry.gif  if i know this would happen i would just wait a while. oh well gotta settle with silver  sad.gif

pre-order again? then just take the one you want.
