A quick scan through Garage Sales and can see many sellers still advertising their units way above the official RRP for Malaysia... Wishing them the best of luck for the next two weeks! biggrin.gif

im currently using 6s too. Planning to upgrade to the 7+.. depends on budget & the features (if u need them).. actually im a fan of the "s" version. which is why i only upgrade my phone after 2 years. so why upgrade now? personally due to the front speaker and waterproof.. if they didnt came up with those 2 features i dont think i will upgrade tho..
but if u got the budget, why not? (regardless the new features and everything)

I'm upgrading for the sake of upgrading smile.gif

ya, the battery life is better.
i keep on go to Apple retailer shop to try hold the 6s+ ,
but i really cant accept that Plus is too huge and heavy.

if wear jeans no way to put in pocket,
normal pant put in also look ugly and my pant wanna drop d, too heavy..
wanna carry around on 1 hand also feel not comfortable,
currently using a 5.5 inch phone, im really really tired d.

i can only get the non-Plus version,
hope battery will not be too bad..
but according to all the reviews on 7 non-plus in internet, it sounds bad to me..
*
The 7 Plus is slightly lighter than the 6 Plus but unfortunately the dimensions are the same, which means it'll be uncomfortable if you're not used to it smile.gif

There is no need for them to lower down the price now as the official MY stock is not there yet. Lots of things can happen - stock limitation & so on. Plus believe me, their cost is way higher than RRP since there are lots of middle man involvement that needs to be paid commission.
*
Ya, stocks will be limited from official resellers in the beginning, so these guys can still earn from buyers who can't wait.

FYI, your SenQ member card is need to valid then only entitled for extra one year warranty. If your card expired, you can now go to renew one before lunch date.

Based on last year I went, luckily I have my renew before that, therefore I can go through payment and view the item, for those expired or non member, they need to renew/apply first then only process payment
*
Yup SenQ card still valid. I renew every year coz I usually get my electrical stuffs from them too.

and senq if member will get extra 1 year warranty right?
*
Yes, that's my plan as well. Offset some credit card points and additional year warranty for member.

will you get 1 if got chance? or wait till Malaysia launch

If you buy using GEMFIVE website with their discount code you get 4299-250 = 4,049. For the RM134 difference I'd rather get a Malaysian set.

yea doesnt matter by 3rd party or not to be honest, coz if it's completely broken and cant repair it, most likely they'll replace with another unit. confusing a bit. hmm.gif

Plan to get the 7+ 128GB model, but with that price, it warrants an extended warranty on it.
*
Beyond the 1 year official Apple warranty, any extended warranty will be provided by third party, e.g. SenQ, Harvey Norman, etc.

any experience with their extended warranty service?

QUOTE(zeroox @ Oct 3 2016, 09:42 AM)
yes...i wanted to know too...
if anything happen i guess for the first year still go to apple malaysia...
only to concern is the free warranty for the second years...

Only once. A long time ago, when dinosaurs still ruled the earth, there was a smartphone by the name of HTC Touch Diamond (if you remember it, then I'll know how old you are) and I bought it from Senheng with extended warranty for 3 years. The phone malfunctioned after 1.5 years and I took it to Senheng to repair, and didn't get the phone back till like 2.5 months later. So that was a very bad experience but it was such a long time ago I wouldn't know if it is still a valid yardstick to measure their performance for after sales service. For me right now the extra year warranty is just something that adds a bit of value to my stuffs before I sell it biggrin.gif

being a guy, i dont have the extra real estate in the form of a handbag to keep my phone.

If you're coming from 4S, then the 7 will probably feel the most comfortable in your hands and pockets. The Plus version takes some time to get used to. I went from iPhone 4 to iPhone 5, then defected to Note 3, and went back to iPhone 6 Plus, so the jump from Note 3 to iPhone 6 Plus wasn't that bad, but from iPhone 5 to the Note 3, it took some time to adjust to not being able to sit comfortable for prolonged period with the phone in your pocket especially when you're wearing jeans - particularly when you're driving. Also, the ability to operate the phone comfortably using one hand is something you will miss with the Plus size. But other than that, the Plus is a must for me, not for the camera or screen estate, but more because of the battery life.

I had almost the same experience, sold my ip5 after getting Note 3 but later get another 5s before selling my Note 3 and 5s to change to 6+, now I am still with 6s+ waiting for 7+. Being a guy has the advantage of having bigger pocket than the lady, the trick of owning 5.5" iPhone is don't ever get thick casing, get a full protection of casing from scratch is good enough for me, having thin case of 5.5" iPhone will make it so much easier to hold than thick casing. For e.g. my Spigen airskin is so much nicer to hold than Spigen liquid crystal casing.

Could you adjust going back to the 5S after the Note 3? I couldn't. They say once you go big, you'll never go back to small biggrin.gif

I am happier with 5s than Note 3 as the 3GB ram also not enough for Android that time, my Note 3 always get overheated and being a user since iPhone 2G, I prefer iOS in 5s than Note 3 in Android. Having a choice in iOS phone size since iPhone 6 plus, yes I won't get any smaller phone than 5.5" in iOS ever.

Hahaha - looks like even our experience with Note 3 is similar. Overheating and poor RAM management biggrin.gif

I'm not worried about cases coz I've seen Otterbox cases already available at machines. What I haven't seen are screen protectors or tempered glasses available yet sad.gif
