I bought 2 lightning cable from ebay around rm8 each.

Using it to charge and transfer data, so far so good

Hi guys just wanna share an issue i highlighted previous regarding iPhone warranty. I have checked with QCD service centre in Berjaya Times Square and Mac City service centre in 1 Utama. Both have confirmed that iPhone warranty is not limited to the country you bought the phone but rather to the part number of the phone itself. In other words, u can provide them ur iPhone serial number for them to check in their system (not the warranty check from apple website). If the part number is available in Malaysia, means the warranty is covered here. To prove this point, I have successfully claimed warranty and was given a replacement phone for an iPhone 6s Plus that was bought from Apple Store in US. I hope TS can update regarding this warranty. To be safe, of course it's better to buy from Malaysia. but we should debunk the myth that iPhone warranty is limited to the country it's bought. Not anywhere was it written in their T&C. Those early adopters can quite safely be assured buying from SG or US Apple Store sets.

AND i have checked with Apple themselves through their recent twitter support team. Their iPhone warranty are global.

you probably didn't even read the UELA.


IMPORTANT RESTRICTION FOR iPHONE, iPAD AND APPLE TV SERVICE.

Apple may restrict warranty service for iPhone, iPad and Apple TV to the country where Apple or its Authorized Distributors originally sold the device.

Anker are popular for their reliable and durable
cables. Come is various length as well

you didn't read what you copy and pasted. it says 'MAY restrict'. hence my point in the post that says coz our service center CLEARLY accepts some device, eg. from SG, HK, US (apple store only), which u CAN check with them using the IMEI or SN.

Wow, great info! Yours iphone is US set which is locked?

unlocked. for US sets they said ONLY iPhone bought from apple store or online apple store is accepted. phone shipped from carrier (locked) isn't.

you obviously doesn't understand the meaning of 'may restrict' and confidently said it is worldwide warranty which is obviously not. And all we are hearing is word from you, without any proof to substantiate it.

don't so butthurt la miss. read their whole t&c la. different country have different law. and different country also may be shipped with different set (eg. locked iPhone). so they have to use general statement like that. they say they MAY restrict warranty. they didn't state they most definitely, without doubt, not in a million years will not cover warranty for products purchased from other country. since the term they used was questionable and not definite ('may'), so I'm sharing to those early adopters who bought from other country or those who worked/studied abroad who bought their phones there, u can freely check with our service centre if your device warranty is accepted here, as how i manage to claim my US bought set. lastly, am just here to share my experience, to assist/reassure those with overseas set u MAY check if your device warranty is covered here.

edit: the final word is of course from apple malaysia service centre.. depending on their deal with apple and our consumer law here. since it would be difficult for them to clearly state which devices are eligible for claim, i think that's why it's easier for the customer themselves to check with them to avoid confusion.

like I said again, it is your words without a authentic source. If it is indeed an international warranty, those conditions would not be there in the EULA. You might choose to interpret the way you like it but the facts is, it is still just your words.
No harm trying though.

still awaiting clarification from their twitter support.. yes no harm trying.

how big a difference between 1 GB and 2 GB ram for you guys? why is it important or not for you personally?

Apple has change the stance a little since the part number/model of the iPhone is more consistent around the world. Many have tried and successfully got warranty from Apple stores. I think Apple can't publish "international warranty" without certain caveats cause knowing consumers will just get confused and not read everything in the same context besides "international warranty".

the challenge isn't the same like ipod, MacBooks which is all the same components. Even iPad, my friends was able to claim warranty but not those with the non-wifi versions.

But what is for certain, you buy MY set. Singapore using the same model/part number, they can help to service it also.

For iphone 6s, it's a matter of not having to cycle through the past open apps and it reloading. Not so much an issue actually.

For plus models, coming from iPhone 6 plus myself, it's a lot. I can feel the lagginess happening typically only experienced after 3-4 years of the product cycle. Now, 1-2 years itself, I'm feeling it. iPhone 6 plus is underpowered. iPhone 6s plus is what it meant to be.

in terms of loading, launching etc. 2gb ram wont refresh your safari page after awhile lol

my 2 cents, for ios 9++ idevices definitely need 2GB of ram, at least.......

Yup totally agree. I understand they can't simply use the term global/worldwide/international warranty due to certain limitation. Similarly, they also didn't state their warranties are totally restricted. Just wanna share to those who have foreign sets that u do have a chance of claiming warranty here if the part number is supported in Malaysia rather than giving the idea that they strictly cannot.

what is definite, 2GB is always better than 1GB.
as apps and iOS itself are always updated and growing in terms of function, memory size and requirements, moving towards 2GB is a late but needed move.

coming from iPhone 6 to 6s... things are definitely speedier and snappier for me. if u are someone who juggles through many apps at a time, u will definitely appreciate the 'extra space' of ram.

Thank you guys

I'm deciding between the rumored SE and 6s... if and probably SE doesn't have 2 GB then I will go for 6s

Dude, read my earlier post


non plus model - 1GB => okay!!! Only downside, used apps may reload when returning to it.
plus model - 1GB => definitely not okay.

I figure it could be because of the higher resolution (non plus model is like 720p-ish). Unless SE has higher resolution, it's okay.


main deciding factor between the rumored SE and 6s, I would say is the size of the phone. some really can't fathom 6/6s size saying "it's too big" and plus models as "humongous"

thank you! didn't read carefully

The size yeah I like 5/5s better than 6/6s
