Did you unnoticingly enable the mute button at the sides because the side mute button is notorious for beingĀ  misspressed?

I had unintentionally pressed it over several times especially taking off or putting on the backcase
Apple should had make it deeper

anyone got this problem? Battery percentage not increasing. I charge for a long time but sometimes it just stuck at 84%, but then after phone restart, it will decrease 2 %. Then charge again it start to increase again. Sometimes no problem, sometimes it stuck. probably ios problem? Currently ios 9.2 (iPhone 6S 64GB)

No such issues even on 9.21 beta
I think your battery has degraded
Do have it checked at service center

It is rare one will get a new unit as replacement in any claim. It is infact Apple policy to replace with refurbished unit . However one user here did said he got a new unit ??

IS it possible to copy photo from phone directly to flash drive using OTG?

Yes ...I am using Sandisk ixpand drive 64gb
You might need to update the otg drive software first if your phone is on ios9 n above. Clear instructions on how to do it is with small leaflet that comes with the device

Calling 6S users who've upgraded from the 6 wink.gif

It is really worth upgrading? Sorry if this has been asked for the umpteenth time.
Been using my i6 for a year now and am still on the fence if I should go for the 6S.

I noticed the significant bumped in performance eg the 2G RAM
Day to day usage, did you notice significant speed bump? Gamings and browsing etc.

And also the 3d touch, it is really a gimmick or it is really useful?

Pls adviseĀ  blush.gif
*
The additional ram helps a lot especially in browsing with many tabs opened . There is no reloading issue unlike ip6
I don't do gaming but I am sure the 2gb memory is an added advantage
3d touch I rarely used as I find is half baked effort from Apple. I rarely hit it correctly 100% !!
Get a feel of it in the store to assess better
I will not recommend an upgrade unless you had the budget for it

I use both Tronsmart n Aukey 2A quick charger for both my ipad mini 3 n iphone 6s plus. The supplied charger is awfully miserably slow. I wonder why Apple still keep it this way??

How about iPad charger? Wouldn't it bring any side effects to iPhone 6s?

The ipad charger at 2.1A can be safely use to charge the iphone BUT than is still poorly designed that you will not get faster charging vs say using alternative Aukey, Tronsmart 2A Quick charging units. Before I got my Aukey, Tronsmart I had been using the ipad charger for past 2 years on the iphone

Hi guys, i want to buy new iphone SE or 6s. but right now the thing that make me want to buy 6s is because 3d touch. did u guys use it often? is it really useful?

Personally I rarely used it
I find it not 100% responsive - usually needed a few tries to get it to work
A feature I can happily live without
Some users however love it

I updated my 128GB iphone 6s Plus yesterday evening to 9.3.1
I noted thereafter I simply just couldn't access the app store. Using the SEARCH tab, there was absolutely zero response
However I could still install some app through using the browser
Was so irritated by it...did a restart and was still the same
Was thinking of resetting it this morning BUT than it was perfectly OK just now !!
My ipad mini 3 a few days back I updated to 9.3.1 and also faced numerous issues : all browsers simply failed to load any webpages, Facebook and twitter apps fail to load too and many app miserably slow at loading too. These problems gone after a few days
I must say this 9.3.1 update is the WORST experience I had ever faced as such issues NEVER EVEN appear at all the beta versions of 9.3 too

I don't see any significant differences between my ex Samsung chip 64gb n current TSMC 128gb
My usage time is still around 10-11 hours

The mail bug is still on 9.3.1. Sometimes even after deleting all mails the mail app still shows no of mails left...it happen sometimes only. Quite irritating n I had to go back to see whether there were any new mails

Sifus,

Any physical shop having good deal for 6s 64 GB original MY set? or is it all same rrp price?

All feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

All Apple authorized resellers only sell at same price. The difference is you might get some different type of small free gifts from them only
If you wish to get cheaper than official, try asking around those unauthorized sellers . However you risk getting a NON Malaysian set if that is important to you

Both my previous ip6s+ (64gb) and current ip 6s+ ( 128GB) , I am getting usage of 10-11 hours most of the time. I am mainly on internet based stuffs with zero gaming
My usage had been quite consistent throughout all the firmware updates and now is on 9.3.1

I had upgraded my ex ip6s+ 64gb to the current 128 gb version as the 64GB unit was running out of space. I had a vast collection of photos, about 30 gb of it ( mainly vacation shots through the past 7 years)

My ex 64GB was the Samsung chipset while the 128GB is the TSMC chip. Seriously I am unable to see any significant differences between them. Battery life is about similar too - my usage recorded around 10-11 hours generally

However both sets has similar problems : the forced 3D touch is just "hopeless" - I often need to press down more than once to get it activated. Also unlike my previous ip5 and ip6, pressing down the icons to get it wiggle was often too a not a one touch task. However these are just minor issues

I had tried again for past 2+ weeks to use the ips+ 128gb as my daily driver but again I am forced to go back to my Androids. I had attempted to do that too for a month on the previous ip6+ but ended up disappointed too.
I will therefore use the ip6s+ as my secondary phone only

Bought the 2000 mAh extended battery pack for my iphone 6s+. Now charging it
The pack is quite slim and fits into the iphone perfectly
Anyone here had experience using such a battery pack
I bought it from EBAY for US$ 18

6s+ still need such battery pack? Must be a super heavy user.
I only use a power bank for my 6s+ when I'm traveling.

Bought it merely to test it out only
Will not be using such a pack usually
Probably will use it in June when I am in UK/Scotland for about 26 days where I will be snapping lots of photos
