QUOTE(1likegadg3t @ Sep 25 2015, 11:28 PM) Because android and ios are not same. Android are full of multitasking feature compared to ios. Try to put those multitasking feature to iPhone with 2gb ram for sure will lag. One thing about Android that will never catch up with iOS is how the notifications are delivered.You'll realize that the iPhone only have 1000+mAH of power and some Androids have 3000+mAH of power but doesn't last three times as long as the iPhone when used after a period of time. One of the reasons is because of the Push Notifications in iPhone. I think it's one of the greatest feature in iOS that are rarely mentioned. When you run an Android, all the apps like Whatsapp, Wechat, Fb all have to stay in the background and prepare to receive notification and if one app isn't done properly by the developer it's gonna drain lots of power and your phone gonna die. This explains why Android when you install more apps the battery dies faster. But in iOS. What happens is.. All apps are shut down in the background.. and when you receive a Whatsapp message, fb notification or wechat, the servers have to send to Apple server then "Pushed" to your iPhone. Hence only the Apple push notification have to stay awake and other apps can be turned off completely and save a great load of battery life.. How android counter this? Add battery capacity each year. That's not cool. haha Just my two cents. No offense. |

QUOTE(1likegadg3t @ Sep 26 2015, 10:23 AM) Where did you get that info any link or u are one of the developer. Or just your assumption BTW I'm using both of the os and there's is no difference when I received my notification. If u talking about the battery of the iPhone I use almost all the models of the iPhone and their battery is worse than I thought only the 6 plus I can get through more than a day. You don't get what I'm trying to tell you mate.Like I said ios is very different from Android. Multitasking, screen resolution etc. need more power. You will receive the same notifications, just a different method of delivering it. You're talking about "Multitasking" and more "power" and I'm telling you why Android Multitasking isn't really cool especially when they are kept running in the background just to receive notifications and making the phone go slower and the battery dies faster. And worse still, if you installed an app on Android that isn't developed properly, the whole phone will suffer the consequences because of one app. iOS wouldn't allow that to happen. It is introduced since iOS 3.0. Android is an Open Platform and I doubt they will ever implement this method. QUOTE Apple first announced the service on June 9, 2008 with a stated release for that September; however, as stated by Scott Forstall at the iOS 3.0 preview event on March 17, 2009, the rollout was delayed after a decision to restructure the APNs for scalability purposes due to the allegedly "overwhelming" response to the announcement of the APNs. At both events, Forstall stated that push notifications were a better means to maintain battery life than background processes (which are used for pull technology) as far as receiving notifications are concerned. |

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. |

QUOTE(Lynixx @ Oct 1 2015, 01:49 PM) Oh great. xD I'm getting the 64GB 6S and I expect it to be 3.7K. Now I can save 600 for a good pair of headphones or something already. Is this confirmed?Edit: Just did a quick check and realized that the prices are impossible. The iPhone 6 sells for Rm2699 for the cheapest model. How can the iPhone 6S Plus only see a RM500 increase.. Doesn't make sense. This post has been edited by kokhoong0624: Oct 1 2015, 03:06 PM |

Guys, need a bit of help here.
Which is a better place to buy iPhone? Machines or Apple Store Online? Because of the Apple Quality Control on recent years.. I would like to know where will I get better warranty and chances of replacements (of box sets) if I get a defective device? (Because all the previous iPads I bought online or from machines have uneven color yellow at left and blue at right and I just live with it) |

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Oct 7 2015, 11:32 PM) All Iphones under warranty are 1-1 exchange. Difference from buying from Apple Store vs Telco is, if Telco set then is warrantied by the Telco itself and vice versa. Another advantage ofnbuying from online Apple store vs telcos and Apple resellers is that only Apple stores offer a 14 day return policy on its iphone purchases. I called machines and they say they provide 1 to 1 exchange for faulty devices. Is it any different from the apple one? |

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Oct 7 2015, 11:51 PM) Nope. Machines also sends back the faulty units to Apple. Only difference Like mentioned, only iphones bought online from Apple Store enjoys a 14 day return policy. If you buy from Apple resellers, it would be up to the reseller if they want to give you a new set or wait for a seed unit from Apple. QUOTE(vez @ Oct 7 2015, 11:54 PM) thats true, normally apple reseller wont give you new one 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?Switch even request you pay first before unboxing... claimed that if got minor complain not completely defect like unable to power on, will have to proceeed warranty claim... 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 |

QUOTE(Barricade @ Oct 8 2015, 06:39 AM) I have experience for both. Difference is Maxis swap 1-1 for me ON THE SPOT after checking it. Apple Store unit send to Machines or Mac City need to wait few days for technician to check la bla bla bla the whole process until I receive my replacement unit is 2 weeks. So I always prefer telco unit. And unlike Mac City or other reseller, I can unbox in front of Maxis staff and if there are scratches or defects they will open a new box for me without forcing me to take the unit. Even got scratches also can change??? Woahhhh so good! I am buying from the Apple Online Store they say their warranty and exchange policies are better |

QUOTE(666devil @ Oct 8 2015, 12:35 PM) Yup. More test results here. http://www.iclarified.com/51874/iphone-6s-...th-samsung-chip Good luck to all those getting 6s. Another thing to concern about. 2 hours battery difference is very huge! Look carefully. One is tested with NO SIM CARD another comes with a SIM CARD... Wonder if it's the cost of the "2 Hours" battery life. |

QUOTE(clawhammer @ Oct 9 2015, 10:54 AM) Today, I read about this Samsung VS TSMC nonsense. Apparently the TSMC chip provides a much better battery life but the source/screenshot doesn't look very convincing. I downloaded the app and found out that mine is a Samsung chip (I'd prefer TSMC if I could choose) but battery life has been great so far. Based on my normal usage pattern, I go home with my 6S+ around 60% battery left. My 6+ would end up around 30%. YES for a phone so expensive I would want to get the TSMC chip too...Wanted to buy but held back because of a 20% less battery life in benchmark test.. And statement by apple too.. Apple stated the TSMC leads by 3% in daily use lol. But I think they spin the results and it might be more significant than this because they wouldn't make a statement if this isn't true..

QUOTE(kcirdenk @ Oct 9 2015, 11:00 AM) you mean this statement? I wasn't freak out until Apple Made a statement.http://www.theverge.com/2015/10/8/9483183/...attery-response don't think too much & just enjoy the phone. Because if Appple made a statement means there are confirmed.... That the TSMC is superior compared to the Samsung one. Now have to play two lottery, get perfect screen and TSMC |
