i queued up last year for the launch in sg.
and based on previous experience, resellers in a mall u will have to line up outside the mall, not at the doorstep of the reseller.
the ip5 year, people lined up at the door and was a mess by the time u reach reseller doorstep.
so they learned that and last year gave out tickets at mall doors before opening them.
MBS is a popular place to line up.
just beware of foreign workers lining up for men with sling bags(scalpers from HK).
if too many foreign workers, ur chance of getting an iPhone is as good as over.
plus those wanting the rose gold, don't have high hopes. might be very very very limited in quantity.

Thanks for sharing.hope this year q is not as long as last year since china is also launching it on the same day.btw how long did you q last year?

I would say there is less excitement for this launch of the 6s and 6S+. You could see the slow moving thread here.
*
Even the epicentre Singapore guys say this year q not so long haha.got my phone even though not the one I wanted! Mostly queueing were Vietnamese as if they brought their whole kampung to q,I saw someone even brought their grandma.some their parents

Bought 128GB silver 6S coz when its my turn left 16 or 128.better buy something rather than nothing after q overnight haha

did a full day 8am-9pm battery test today.
while it was paired to my AW at the same time, i left 3g on and was on the move, so not much wifi, did safari browsing, regular chat apps and did an hour of 4g hotspot. managed to bring it down to about 45% right now.
not bad i would say. if i'd been in office n on wifi more, shud hv been higher.
the touch id is lighting fast. pressing the home button to check my notifications will unlock the phone. its that fast.
the phone feels smooth n snappier. still haven't try the live photo or any of the camera functions.
for those wanting to upgrade from 6, i would say its not a must and no harm waiting for the next gen.
for those on 5S and below, its long over due, so go ahead.

Did you try the 3D Touch? Did it work,doesn't seem to work on my phone haha

Have you enable it? You need to press and hold firm at the icon for the menus to appear. You can also change the sensitivity

Yes I did enable it and change the sensitivity to the lowest

speed/lag:a bit lag when I click on a link on facebook to read more(screen seems freezing for a bit)

ironically the place with least queue i.e. courts which is just across the road seems to have more stock than Epicentre 313/iStudio Orchard Central

if the price is correct, then is still cheaper than SG Set, for example 6S+ 64GB, 1388SGD * 3.075 (Today's Rate) = RM 4,268.

worth the waiting smile.gif
*
if bought from Apple Premium Resellers such as Epicentre,Nubox,etc less around 73 GST refund SGD1315 * 3.075=about RM4044
and also get a $50 Prepaid MasterCard if bought at certain malls eg 313, Marina Bay Sands

To keep in perspective, prices wouldn't be breaching the RM4k barrier if our currency is this bad. There were times when USD/MYR was around 3.1, and that 64GB iPhone 6S(USD749) and 6S Plus(USD849) would be RM2321 and RM2631 respective, instead of prices approaching RM4k now. RM2300 and RM2600 is even cheaper than the Android flagship phone prices now, isnt it?
*
last year pricing at 3.1 is great. but who would have known Rm would depreciate 30% to an unimaginable value of 4.4X now

if SG set is getting TMSC mostly, then Malaysia likely to follow... at least for Apple Online Store, it will be ship from SG warehouse, sometime China, but my past 3 years experience with Apple Online Store Malaysia is shipped from SG, but my iPad Air from China

just my 2 cents biggrin.gif

the last time someone said samsung chip is better, now they say tsmc is better.well my phone with tsmc do get hot(a bit only). it do lags a bit but most of the time its ok
