Apple iPhone 6s & iPhone 6s Plus Price Malaysia (Logically Speaking) & Malaysia Launch Date

Well looking at how shyty the Malaysian currency is now against anything.... We're down the fucking dumps for a country who has resources such as petroleum and land.

Reality Check... for the 191,340,135th time!!!

1 USD is to +- MYR 4.40 (That's the price of Msian being so Anti-America)
1 SGD  is to +- MYR 3.10 (These people barely have any resources)
1 PGK  is to +- MYR 1.50 (Papua New Guinea is more backwards than us!)
100 THB  is to +- MYR 12.20 (fuck cannot go for massage anymore!)



Anyways..... back to iPhone 6s pricing in Malaysia. What's it gonna be? LowYat has come up with some elaborate table and jibber jabber here.


Anyhow... Let's make it more simple to believe....(click to enlarge). Comparison is used between the US Apple Website and the Malaysia Apple Website after the price adjustment to the iPhone6 & 6plus.

16GB iPhone 6s – RM3,199

64GB iPhone 6s – RM3,699

128GB iPhone 6s – RM4,199

16GB iPhone 6s Plus – RM3,699

64GB iPhone 6s Plus – RM4,199

128GB iPhone 6s Plus – RM4,699




As for launch date.... LowYat.Net has already spotted SIRIM entries for the phone.... well.. by the looks of it... Perhaps November 1 again just like the 5s or probably early December. Looking at how the market is going, Apple has once again smashed their opening sales record for the iPhone... 13 million this time around as opposed to about 10million last year

UPDATE: Launch day is set for October 16th, 2015 (Friday) for Malaysia

iPhone 6 & 6 Plus Malaysia (Pre-Post-GST)

So...It's been 4 months since the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus was launched in Malaysia.

Given the recent CPO price crash and the strengthening of the USD... The price of the phones has increased O.o . I wonder what GST would do to the price after this?... given SST will be removed and be replaced with GST

Anyways the initial price of the iPhones were

PRE GST to POST Currency LOST

iPhone 6

16GB     RM 2,349   ---   RM 2,549

64GB     RM 2,749   ---   RM 2,949

iPhone price on Apple Online Store (Updated)

U Mobile is the recent Telco getting the iPhone 6.

Notice the selling price which is lower than Apple Online store.***

The subsidised price is the one in ORANGE when you sign a plan 

***The microcredit plan has an interest rate based on your income, from 0.87% to 1.5%

Payment period can be from 12, 24 or 30 months... Longer you take... more you pay.

Interest may go up close to (RM 1,000 comparing from the Umobile Microcredit selling price, bout RM 600 if compared with Apple Online Store's RRP) over a 30months period at 1.5%

Trade in Price for a 4s for only RM 160? Fuck you long long la UMobile... LOL

It's you that helped me during my dark, sad, boring and happy days. Many underestimate your power.

Relationship

Come 2014.... it changed... not only have I hooked up.....my heart sank into the abyss. Did I fall in love? or gosh was the sex that good that......

It has been a few days now... I can't shake it off..... :( Usually I could....at least with the other 2...last year. But this....I thought of investing more time with. :)

oh well.... anyways...there's this recent social app called Paktor.....had 2 dates in the space of a month.... for a community that small...... Damn it's effective. Try it out peeps. Credits to Paktor

================================================================

Next.....Wow I last posted about a Wishlist back in August 2012....Guess it has been awhile that I've stopped wishing... I just go get them =P

Well.... To map out 2014..... Tangible goods speaking.....

Uhm....

iPhone 6...... because.....a bigger screen.... why not?

Things that I'm considering

The next  Macbook Air with 8-16GB RAM....Current which is running on 4GB RAM is being chocked by Parallels 9. Insufficient. Time to advance....even my iMac is running on 20GB RAM =P

In Life.... What am I lacking now?.... My own car, house and a girl. I wished that I had my eyes on a home earlier :( oh well... it's the things about the growing up process. Younger people who are still studying and is reading this..... try to sidetrack your wants of a new phone or computer or car.... Aim for a house.

Financially speaking... aiming for 60k in my bank by end of this year... I'm only half way there as of now... :(

iPhone 5s in Malaysia.... 1st November

NICELY DONE APPLE..... THE TIME YOU DECIDE TO COME EARLY IS WHEN I'M OFF TO AUSTRALIA FOR A HOLIDAY....NOW I'M DENIED THE CHANCE TO STAY OUT LATE AND QUEUE UP FOR THE PHONE..... :(

iPhone 5s and 5c should be available in Malaysia on 1st November!!!! Get ready fellow Malaysians!

I'm still ALIVE!!!!

say my blog in sadness....


Sorry I outgrown the shyt out of you.... but I won't let you die totally.

Okay.... what about life?....

Let's start with myself


Job is fine... work has been okay.... customers has been a little crazy.... dealing with it.... happy happy sad FUCKING PISSED!

Still on the dry season.... Dang it

Investment has been doing well for the first time in 4 years.....dangerous though... I ALL-IN into an O&G counter called Daya Materials.... lots of good news from their side.... hoping to play this long term than my usual hit and run method.... used to make hundreds in that... but now..... by the thousands..... What's the secret?..... Penny Stock and Volume. Seriously. Yea playing blue chip stock is safe and steady.... but how much can you make?

Simple logical example:

Assuming you have 30k in hand


Blue chip stock
$10.00 per share

30,000 / 10.00 =  3,000 shares

Penny stock
$0.30 per share

30,000 / .0.30 = 100,000 shares


Therefore......

let's look if both stocks went up 10 cents

Blue chip stock
0.10 x 3,000 = 300

Penny stock
.10 x 100,000 = 10,000

So yeah.... see? Volume makes...... but of course penny stocks are usually more volatile compared to safer blue chips... So yeah..... High risk.... high returns.... think about it.... think hard... whether are you willing to take risk and can you cope with risks. Important thing is that you gotta read read read....

As for Daya which I have lots of faith in personally.... here are some links

APPLE

Other than that... life is fine.... the Apple addiction is still there though.... Just gotten myself the 2013 Airport Extreme.... it's reaching on Monday.... will update you guys on the performance after the latest Airport Express is a total letdown....

I'm still tryna let go my Macbook Air... check it, share it

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=2886734&hl=

I have been on betas for both 10.9 Mavericks and iOS 7...... worst beta start ever!!!! previous years beta started off stable.... this time around... took a slow start... especially the iOS7 on the iPad..... hanged several times...... fucking nonsense!... other than that.... I kinda like the fresh change, given I started using iOS 1.1 since late 2007... App icons are flat now.... so yea..... 3rd parties like Whatsapp and all....when are you guys gonna start flatting your app icons =P

As for Mavericks....I've been using it more on my iMac...hence I don't feel much..... I think it suppose to be the OS that really save battery life as OS nowadays really focus on mobility

Oh well..... =P

Can be said one of the Best Birthdays =P

Haha... I emailed Tim Cook wishing him Happy Birthday since he shares the same birthday as me.... He/his PR replied..... woots woots... damn fucking happy... ROFL.

Second.....an ex crush or still crush sent a happy birthday message. It was pleasant =P I miss her.

3rd.

Birthday Dinner + reunion..... lol... damn it Mus balik so fast... LOL.... we had good laughs

That's bout it. It was quiet but awesome =D

iPhone 5 Malaysia... 19 October?

As of this hour... soyacincau.com hasn't posted anything bout it but iHelpBoard has mentioned 19 October to be the day that iPhone 5 in Malaysia.... Below is the "source"/sauce.

read more here!

As compared to Malay Mail's "reports" of October 26...it'll be a chaotic day to launch it on that day... not to mention the religious public holiday on that day.

1) TOOOOOOO many too free people will swarm the place.

2) it can be "claimed"to be a distraction for the holy day..... bla bla bla...

So yeah.... October 19..... sounds sexy..... Are you ready fellow LALANG Malaysians?

Will I be satisFIVED?

So.... iPhone 5... What's more exciting bout it in my network of peers, friends and family? That whether I am getting one or not?.... Answer is......NO MONEY LA..... I POOR..... ™! haha

I let videos do the talking..... and you figure it out..... haha

I love this feature!!!! =D

 
Gotta love the toughness..... LOL

Addicted on Panorama iOS6

*shot of my workplace*

Panorama.... Apple made it simple for idiots.... Seriously loving this feature that I'm Panoramaing everything..... haha LOVE LOVE LOVE

Panorama works on iPod Touch 5, iPhone 5, iPhone 4S

iPhone 5 Roundup

Photos which I....I mean I....think is relevant to the iPhone5 build up... haha.

Looks cute though... but getting spares is gonna be extra cost.... FUCKER 

 The new 4" longer panel and the ever small nano-SIM. Damn it...need to change SIM again?

 how the new 8-PIN connector gonna look like.

Left: the "iPhone 5" fucking ugly speaker holes!!!!! DISAGREE!!!!!! Apple don't make ugly holes! :(

 I'm starting to love/hate this design...

was referring more to that two-tone back.

The black part is to allow signals to pass through I think.... but they could always color it the same as the Aluminium. meh. We'll see how it goes.

iPhone 5

bla bla bla bla bla iPhone 5

well I guess you people has seen enough leaks, prototype and rumor photos. Therefore I ain't posting any here. Go look at engadget, macrumors or even gizmodo.

Anyhows... I think that's not really the phone, at least the steel band which I'm not happy with. DAMN THOSE speaker/mic holes! too big, too ugly for an Apple product!!!! But the smaller dock is legit since the previous move from Magsafe to the Magsafe 2 on the Macbook Airs.

WHY?

Apple has to start digging into your pockets a little more deeper now.

Simple logic.

Over the past....say.... 5 years.... you have bought many iPods/iPhones/spare chargers. Therefore you have so many extra that you don't even need another one. So Apple is GONNA MAKE YOU PAY FOR THIS! Precedent event would be the Magsafe 2 adapter for the Magsafe chargers which costs USD 10.....yea its fucking cheap in the States but it blardy costs RM 38 in Malaysia (Don't talk to me about conversions! Dollar to Dollar comparison).

So... If I were to get the iPhone 5... I would need to stock up on new cables since I was previously so comfortable with what I have now :(

I have:

1x permanently attached to my iMac

1x for my iPhone charger

1x for my iPad charger

1x intermittent faulty-ness

1x my sister is using.

FML!

It would not be a surprise if Apple decided not to bump the camera to 12MP (but that would be fucking retarded!). Fucking S3 is also 8MP following its older S2 model..... haih. Personally don't see the need for a Quad Core Processor but if Apple insist to push it as an epic gaming device then yea. 

Me, I only worry bout the battery life and the camera because... you'll never know when you need it to snap an awesome photo =D

New Apples so far this 2012

I started this year telling myself no more!.... especially with the recent iPhone 4s purchase.

What I've bought so far... Let's look through...

The new iPad 16GB WiFi (bought around April 2012 I think)

I kinda lost a lot selling my iPad 2 32GB WiFi. But life goes on.

Reviews on this device?

just a nice screen. couldn't give 2 shit about the camera. iOS 6 will bring Siri and Clock minus YouTube. I'm using the beta at the moment. Works great!!! 

Next was ANOTHER JUMP of my Macbook Air (June 2012), making this my 3rd Macbook Air in the span of 30 months... whooops! Again, I lost some selling... meh!

Reviews on this device?

Packs a SATA 3/ 6Gbps SSD, for the 3rd time mine is Toshiba. FUCK YOU APPLE! I think they still  ship with the Samsung SSD which are faster.bitch. USB 3! finally! helps though. But the main difference is the SSD which I mentioned earlier, works epicly. no complains at all.

 new box appears to be heavier.. weird

Recent itchy purchases were the Apple TV 3 and the Airport Express. No money but still wanna spend like cock!.... haih :(

Reviews on these devices?

Apple TV

finally relevant in Malaysia. I think it works BEST when u hook it up to your router than letting it run wirelessly. Fucks up Airplay especially if your router if crowded with other clients connected to it. Using the iPhone as a remote makes way more sense as it can bring up the on screen keyboard.

Airport Express 2nd Gen

now I realise what a fucking idiot I am for not bridging my Extreme 2 years ago. And I'm doing it now...with an Express. GENIUS!!!!!!. Well, its a much more refined product compared to the 1st gen. Better specs overall which you can read more at Apple's website. Cute, light and packs a better performance especially for Malaysia UniFi users. But if you have the budget, get the Extreme. NO REGRETS I TELL YOU =) SEMI-D and BUNGALOW, Extreme is for you while Express can help you extend it. That's pretty much it

Damn  I miss blogging... haha

Apple Calendar 2012

My Prediction!!! =D

I've been a Bad Boy

2011 has been a great start of a new decade...yes I have been lacking in my academics, but I do make up for it. This year passed so fast to the point that I JUST realize that next week is the final week on 2011.

I have been a super bad boy this year

Well firstly I started 2011 with my Core2Duo 11" Macbook Air(dad bought) and the iPhone4(September2010, which dad bought also)

Then March 2011 I had another ink.

iPad 2

   

iPad 2 32GB WiFi White with the Product RED Smart Cover

 Sold the 11" Macbook Air Core2Duo, gotten Corei5 Macbook Air 11"
 

performance is waaaayyyyy different....but fuck it that I'm stuck with Toshiba's SSD on both my Macbook Air. FML...

 Bought some figurines along the way... L: Steve Jobs R: Obama&Osama

   

beautifully handmade from Hong Kong

 Sold iPhone4, bought the iPhone4s (both I bought through DiGi)

 

basically.... daddy said I don't appreciate the things he buys for me... that I sell it off for something better. O well, we have different mindset... agree to disagree

by the way... the skins on my Apple devices are from Gelaskins. You can get it locally in Malaysia (rare though) or even custom your skin to your own liking and get it shipped here from Canada. Nice people to deal with...as you can see, trustworthy and quite fast with their service.

PS: Daniel NEVER endorses rubbish

DiGi iPhone 4SURE 4 ME

Here's my rather too free vlog because pictures paint a TWO THOUSAND RINGGIT Phone =D

in the memory of Steve Jobs

DiGi Online store experience

This is in regards of my iPhone 4s preorder last week, which I did received as noted on the website, kudos to your guys.

I'm writing bout this to share my experience as it is hard to find one review myself...

But the experience of it was rather unpleasant as the customer service weren't helpful with my GDEX consignment number update.... checking with DiGi is rather slow. Even as of this moment, the delivery status is still pending.... and I gotten the phone before even getting the GDEX consignment number.

Overall... I did get my phone, happy but a little disappointed. DiGi should have settle the tracking/consignment number with the company fast, allowing for users to contact the courier company themselves.

I have bought many online stuffs and it is much easier and faster if I am to liaise with the courier company instead. It would be good for DiGi as well as the responsibility shifts to the courier.

I can assume that the synergy between both companies are yet to be strengthen to provide a more smoother service for the customer. Honestly, I don't like being harassed myself if I work in a call center. I know how it fucking feels every tom, dick and harry calls about iPhone,  I GET IT!!!! cause I work in a reseller myself, at least do it with a more humane tone. The customer service tried their best in assisting, but the reply is so scripted...which I could've read it from the DiGi website myself.

What goes around comes around I guess =D

Anyways...thank you again DiGi for service, it has been a pleasure

This is a sequel to my iPhone4 purchase last year from DiGi
