Only way is to get hardware replacement if it's faulty or performance degraded as it's not iOS related.

I usually have bad experience with QCD, maccity and machines service centre (just call me bad luck guy). What I do instead is to go Apple online, log a case there and get a reference point, explain issue and etc.. eventually they will re-direct you to one of the service centres.

The difference is, the apple support will have re-mediate if service centre acts up.

The other alternative is, my friend did this. he had another iPhone model, backed up everything. Clean install both phones. Brought it to machines service centre at MV, explain problem. Service centre was saying it's "within parameters".

He took out the spare iPhone, demonstrated it was significant from the faulty unit. Straight away replacement set given.


Just sharing, not sure what's the best option for you.

one thing, you certain not iOS related? If you got the time, back up your data.

First round, do a clean install (shift + restore in Itunes), set up as new. See whether the "lag" is there or not. If the lag isn't there, it's iOS already.

Hi guys, not sure if anyone has this issue. I have set some apps to not use mobile data. But somehow the apps can still use mobile data eventhough under settings, the mobile data for those apps are toggled off. The only way i can re-enable this setting is if i toggle on mobile data for those apps and then toggle off again.

Just tried this but the bug is still there. Im not sure what is causing this but if i have toggled off mobile data for certain app but once i use wifi and turn wifi off, it will somehow overwrite this setting and the app will have access to mobile data eventhough mobile data for that app is still toggled off

Watchers wonder if Apple has lost its magic

SAN FRANCISCO: Is Apple facing a rare, simple pause in growth in a tough global economy or has it lost its magic for dreaming up must-have new gadgets like the iPhone?

The question was front-of-mind April 27 on Wall Street, where shares in the California-based company fell more than 6% to US$97.82 (RM381.30) by the official close of trading on the Nasdaq exchange.
The drop erased the equivalent of US$40bil (RM156.10bil) in market capitalisation and came after Apple reported its first year-over-year quarterly revenue drop in 13 years on April 26.

Apple also forecast that the current quarter would be difficult.

Revenue was down during the first three months of this year due to the first drop in iPhone sales since the release of the world-changing handsets in 2007.

Sales of iPhones have been the engine for Apple earnings for a while.

Cruising on a flagship?

FBN Securities said in a note to analysts that it was “concerned” that since taking over as chief executive in 2011, Tim Cook has not delivered “any real transformative products.”

An Apple Watch that made its debut last year was seen as the company’s first foray into a new product category under Cook. Apple has not revealed sales figures for its smartwatch, but Cook said on an earnings call that they “met expectations” during the quarter.

Given the absence of official sales figures, observers are left to speculate how Apple Watch is doing in the market. The fact that Apple Watch synchs to iPhones has raised doubts it could be a stand-alone hit instead of an accessory.

Apple Pay, the service that lets iPhones act as digital wallets, is viewed through a similarly dependent lens.

Apple has long been a ripe target for rumours, with recent speculation including talk that the company is working on self-driving cars and virtual reality.

“The car entry would be years away and it would not at all be clear if Apple would succeed – especially considering Tesla’s recent success with its Model 3,” FBN said in its note.

Tesla has been swamped with orders even though release of the car is a year away.

Seeking a new Steve Jobs

“The pace of innovation has completely slowed down at Apple,” said Global Equities analyst Trip Chowdhry.

“The projects that Tim Cook is talking about are taking so much time... by the time they are ready they are already obsolete.”

Chowdhry depicted Apple as a company that was in fine shape except for a bedevilling lack of vision and passion at the top, pointing a finger at Cook, chief financial officer Luca Maestri, and senior vice president of retail and online stores Angela Ahrendts.

“Get rid of these three people, and Apple will come back to its past glory,” the analyst said.

Apple has thus far delivered on the vision of Steve Jobs, and a new visionary who is at least as passionate as the iconic figure is needed to fix the company, Chowdhry reasoned.

He recommended former Apple executive Jon Rubinstein for the job.

Former Apple manager Guy Kawasaki, who helped launch the Macintosh computer in the 1980s said in a CNBC television interview that the company needs to get back to making products people “lust” for.

Kawasaki gave the example of iPhones that boast improvements from prior generations but don’t stand apart from predecessors in big ways.

“We need a product that leaps to the next curve,” Kawasaki said.

“I don’t think that is simply making the iPhone smaller or the iPad bigger.”

He said that Jobs and his famous “reality distortion field” could dazzle people with product upgrades, but without him such modifications have not come across as revolutionary.

Meanwhile, many analysts have taken to counselling investors to be patient.

“Just wait until 2017, when comparisons will be easier,” advised FBN, noting that earnings will then be up against those reported this year instead of a year in which a hot-selling iPhone 6 debuted.

The coming iPhone 7 could be a “game changer” according to RBC Capital Markets. Analysts also pointed out that with more than a billion Apple devices being used around the world, Apple is positioned to rake in money selling content, products and services to users. — AFP

get one cheap tempered glass for testing first. some screen is not totally flat thus the glass will have halo effect.
