If you are looking at reselling it, more unique colors like "gold" and "rose gold" will probably be slightly higher priced/being looked out for due to the fact space grey and white/silver will be still available when a new iPhone launch.

lol obviously gold and rose gold will be available for the future iphones.
only scalpers will have the mindset that these colors has "more value" than the others.

I meant the older model would not have certain colors. Of course newer model iPhones definitely will have rose gold and gold.

Exm. When iPhone 6s/6s plus came out, iPhone 6/6plus only has white/silver and space grey.

@jesseblue <--- getting what I meant. But not everyone thinks the same way, thinking a color affects the pricing. smile.gif

What are u babbling about? IPhone 6 HAS gold color. It started from iphone 5s. Iphone 6s introduced rose gold and it WILL be available in that color for the future iphones.

As i said, only scalpers think those colors are "special edition"
*
I know every iPhone has gold. I'm saying after a newly launched iPhone. Buying new, Apple limits the older model to only white/silver and space grey options. (Go to apple.com, options for gold isn't available).

That's one reason why people treat rose gold and gold as "special edition"

Sorry if I can't explain it well enough. smile.gif cheers

huh, because of 3D touch, now you can't figure out how to delete or move apps you mean?

instead of pressing harder, press gently and a long hold - that allows you to delete / move apps.

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.

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.

Thank you guys  biggrin.gif

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"

I can sort of attest to that.
2 of my latest gen. idevices are no having any prob. with iOS 9.3
While I'm holding back in upgrading my other idevices (although for altogether different reason  biggrin.gif )

Attest to that or not. There are conditions in which the issue on links doesn't work and it's not limited to Safari. It isn't due to hardware iterations. It's purely software, iOS.


For me, I have an iPhone 6 plus and iPhone 6s. Both 9.3. I'm having this problem only on iPhone 6s, cause I got Booking.com app installed. iPhone 6 plus is okay.

I saw this reddit thread and got a "fix"... now no issue.
https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/4cf...hing_bugs_when/

Summary: It's due to universal link feature introduced in earlier iOS. App can submit a reference file to say what URL links will trigger which app to intercept. Booking.com screwed up a lot by having links that doesn't belong to it also.

Read the reddit thread on this.

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?
*
Useful but not essential.

Here's to mess your head more.

1) The Touch ID on SE is the older generation. It isn't as fast as the 6s Touch ID.
2) front facing camera is of lower quality on SE. Back camera is the same. Wonder that
3) battery on SE is much better than 6s (probably smaller screen)

Yeah, just when the SE was announced, I was weighing my options between the SE and the 6S and 3D Touch was one of the factor taken into consideration but at the end of the day, I caved in to 6S yesterday XD.

True that 3D Touch isn't a necessity but it's really fun to have it.

I was on 5S previously and I thought 4.7" is just too big but having used the 6S for a day, I find that 4.7" is actually a very comfortable size. Much more comfortable than 4" actually. Typing on the 4.7" is less tedious and the screen size is just very soothing to look at, there's ample space for everything.
It will not be unwise to opt for the 6S now UNLESS you intend to switch immediately when the 7 is announced. if you're on the "S" line then the reasonable life cycle is to upgrade to the next "s" series in line (ie. 7S).
*
Good for you. Now is March, still another 9 months at least to the release of new iPhone in Malaysia. Fair game to get it if you ask me. If it's like 3-4 months to go, then pretty bad timing to get the 6s models when 7 is going to be released.


You know what? That's what everyone feels typically upgrading from smaller screen. TLD Youtuber, he was adamant on 6+ model is just TOO big, but he took the dive for 6s+ and using it. The moral of the story, don't say too big until you really try it. I notice is jumping from 4" to 5.5" is daunting. Should go step by step. smile.gif

Uhm.... I guess you can't do much right? The side curves is a bane to most screen protectors, especially tempered glass type.

I doubt you can get a refund, but you could try?

Typically two choice

a) plastic type, it just covers the area before the curve starts. combine it with a good coverage cover, it's good enough
b) tempered glass, my personal preference is to have full coverage until the edges or go plastic type instead. Corning 3D IMOS is the best I tried, utterly expensive. Need to watch out the cover compatibility.

Remax, Mono tempered glass alternatives etc, is okay for the price but slight knock, the glass will chip off. You go this route because it's cheap and have the glass feel when using the touchscreen.

I used them mostly for emails now... compared to previously, I just "swipe to delete" all the emails when I saw the sender isn't relevant. I use them for navigation too.

It isn't necessary but it really gives you that convenience that you didn't knew you needed =)

I'm sure 3D Touch application will grow in the future because I don't think Apple will omit them in their future devices. It will only get better and better. Just like the Touch ID when it was announced, everyone was making fun of it but look how commendable it has become. Touch ID v2 is so fast that unlocking your phone is a breeze and you don't need to sacrifice it by compromising on security =D
*
Didn't recall people making fun of Touch ID. A lot thought it's a very good idea. 3D touch was being made fun of, that's what I recall.

I think it's a matter of getting use to. 3D touch isn't as "natural" to use like touch screen when it was first introduced, i think it will be a slower uptake until much later...

Definitely not a good idea. I'm good with my iPhones, but 6s and 6 plus, it slipped out of my hands (putting in my huge pocket, casually using it, tipping over).

Thank god for tempered glass that saved me RM1.6k for replacement. I spend RM200++ for the tempered glass though.

the phone u'll be getting is definitely an original, sealed, iphone. that u don't have to worry.
usually we're concerned about warranty claims.
sometimes if it's telco distributed iPhone, claims could only be made thru the telco. but for the 6s, all service centre will accept regardless where u bought it (senheng/machines/HN) as long as it's part number is available here.
one good point i see from getting it at SH or HN is they offer extended warranty at a reasonable price. might consider that if u plan to keep ur phone a couple of years.

long story cut short, u can buy from ANY authorised reseller here. difference is only in their offer. machines recently had rm500 discount. others may offer freebies. SH/HN give in house extended warranty
*
Check at https://locate.apple.com/my/en/, under sales -> Apple authorized resellers. Don't have to worry, since the places you mentioned all listed.

Buying at Apple online store, although no installment plan, your credit card might be able to switch it to installments with zero % interest but have admin fees.
I know Maybank, Ambank (MBF) had that. Centre called me asking whether want to convert the transaction to an installment plan. That's another place you might want to check into with your credit card.

this lag is slowness in the screen interactions or responding to your home button press?

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.

I want this to stay, not because of nostalgic reasons but lesser requirement to press on home button. Ever since the TouchID came, I never had to go replace the home button post-5s (first iPhone to have it).

iPhone, 3g, 3gs, 4, 4s all without fail need to replace home button after 1-3 years average. vmad.gif ranting.gif bangwall.gif mad.gif
