I suggest to put up a FAQ on downloading/updating apps on AppStore being slow on Streamyx and Unifi.

Best solution is to install Opera VPN which is free (or any other vpn software). Do it via your mobile data plan if possible. Subsequently connect to wifi with VPN should solve the slowness now and then.

there's some rumours about Apple's going to launch new iPhone 7/7+ Red colour at their event this March.

Red color not that impactful, if yes also do it during CNY. Jet white would be something interesting.

Guys is iPhone 6s and 7 processor a huge upgrade?

I am currently using a iphone5 and it have become very slow at times and I am planing to upgrade.

Is the iPhone 6s processor just have a few year lifespan till it become a slowpoke like my iPhone 5 or Should I just add the rm500 different and get a iPhone 7?
*
6s to 7, not much. But future proof it. It's like you said , rm500 difference unless you can't live without the headphone jack.

Just wondering..

those who bought 3rd party lightning cable with MFI certified (remax, pineng, etc),
do you ever encounter any problem after using them after 4 months or more?

based on my experience, any cable except original apple,
90% of them will suddenly out of nowhere stop working and will become totally dead.  bye.gif

Is this only happen to me or it does happen to all of you?  hmm.gif
*
Nope. I got this Moshi branded MFI certified cable. Been using it since 6 plus model.

Not just on pricing, but MFI certified doesn't mean much, it's just using Apple approved manufacturer of the lighting adaptor specifications. Quality isn't part of the equation.

Apple original cable, while it works for me, typically the joints will break, the "skin" layer tends to wear and tear, or it turns yellowish. Not ideal for outdoor usage or throwing it in your bag situation.

I suggest everyone shall upgrade to 10.3, beside space saving. The smoothness is huge improvement.

Finally everywhere is very smooth especially they fix the recent apps scrolling smoothness.

Upgrade definitely taking longer. Smoothness noticeable but I think to those with OCD? My friend doesn't seem to notice at all!!!

iOS 10.3 is the most error free stable minor version revision ever. It used to be having an increment version to fix something introduced. (10.3.1 exm)

And this includes AFS!!! There's hope

Haha... it probably "feels" snappier because the animations was tweaked... not because of the new file system.

It's the app switching, I think it's because I activated the triple click function, now I deactivated it and with the new animation it's too quick for me lol

Uhm, don't use it. No wonder didn't notice.

For those who still haven't update even though ppl here say how fast is it, here is another reason to update:

http://iphone.appleinsider.com/articles/17...ailable-storage

Want to free up to another 7.5gb?

APFS FTW!!

And these are the security patches it never broadcast:
https://support.apple.com/en-my/HT207617

Every update patches security holes. Even jail breakers giving up.

i blame @Andrewtst for shouting iOS 10.3 upgraded and good stuff. I saw it, just tap on upgrade. Didn't capture any before and after stuff.... Anyone else did it? Probably need some samples for 32GB?, 128GB, 256GB...


QUOTE(666devil @ Mar 29 2017, 07:04 AM)
Don't speak too soon ya.
10.3.2 beta already out for developer testing 😅

rclxm9.gif mega_shok.gif new minor revisions are expected, but still no major issues faced in 10.3, pretty stable and solid release. iOS 8, 9 minor revisions introduce new bugs instead.

The article did say the file system does generally speed things up.

Haha! They documented my issue which is now fixed :

Invocation of Task Switching Menu "Bounce"

U sir, use a lot of features and notice a lot of stuff.. kudos!!! Maybe I'm just lazy, not bothered like before. Just want a stable phone, get to my apps and get stuff done.

Me too! Old folks tend to stick to "use it as expected and don't bother me" OS biggrin.gif

It's not about getting old but I guess the excitement over all these are dying down. I saw couple of others no longer want to jailbreak, it's the fuss.

Also most features are meh.. good you use it, but not essential.

Feeling sad, unnoticed that the back of my phone (matte black) seems to start chipping. Under certain lighting, I can see that the black colour is diff. However it is stil at early stage where no silver metal is seen.

P/s: I'm so pissed off with it so I'm using my phone naked now trying to enjoy its beauty as much as possible. Gonna put on sticker in the future when the chipping issue becomes too serious

my matte black already had one very small chipped.. waiting for dbrand skins and it's already 21 days but the parcel still not here yet  bangwall.gif

Sorry, couple of threads/posts back, there are discussion on the chipping. But still don't understand what triggers it?

Pure manufacturing defect but Apple will classify as wear and tear? Minor drops? Bad/tight case?

Why persistent to ask, if it's something avoidable, would like to know what might possible cause it. If there's nothing, guess why worry...

Smart move from Apple. Latest features limited to highest end model. Plenty will spend bucks on the highest tier. Apple's revenue gonna just increase and increase.

buying an iphone will sort of replace buying laptop price tier wise. Haha

Me too. Was bored with my 7 Plus so I bought the S8 last month to try and thought it would entertain me till the next iPhone comes about... Ended up listing the phone for sale yesterday.

I guess excitement stage for phone is long gone. Now is pretty much just evolution incremental stuff than Big Bang revolutionary changes.

What phone you are using now?
