Latest News:  iPhone 6

As we had reported a few times now, the iPhone 6 seemed to be making a re-appearance for 2017, packaged as a new 32GB model. It started being made available in certain Asian markets, and it seems that it is now headed to Europe too.

Remember we reported earlier that the iPhone 6 seemed to be making a comeback in 2017 with a new storage option? Well, it looks like the 32GB variant of the iPhone 6 finally hit Malaysia.

Earlier on, we reported that a 32GB variant of the Apple iPhone 6 in Gold was available in Taiwan. It seems that, the iPhone 6 might be making a comeback with a “2017 refresh”, as it is now available for purchase on Amazon India too. This time, it is the 32GB Space Grey variant.

Well, in some weird twist, it seems that Taiwan Mobile, a major Telco in Taiwan, manage to strike some deal with Apple for some refreshed iPhone 6 (2017). It is currently on pre-order, with sales starting on 10 March. There is, however, only 1 choice of storage option as well as colour, 32GB Gold.

Wait, what? Are they trying to sell a 2014 device in 2017? Read on to find out the details.

After their recent launch 2 months ago, Doogee Malaysia have been bringing in various Doogee smartphones like the Doogee X5Max which features a 4000 mAh battery and fingerprint sensor with a metal frame. They've also timed the X5Max in a movie playback battery life test against the Apple iPhone 6 Plus. Granted, the iPhone 6 Plus is not the most energy efficient phone out there but do check out the video below for yourself.

While it may seem that the prices for devices in Malaysia goes skyrocketing every year, in actual sense we enjoy one of the lowest prices for smartphones and devices around the world. Take the Apple iPhone 6 for example. While it may cost RM 2699 here for the 16GB model, that is actually just an 16% premium over prices in the US.  

We've seen quite a few add-on jelly lens that you can either seal on or clip on to a smartphone but ExoLens takes it a step further by offering a wide-angle, telephoto and macro add on lens using Zeiss optics. Quite obviously, the add-on lenses are much larger than your average jelly lens, but the frame is also suitably larger as well and can be mounted on a standard tripod stand. So far, it is just for the Apple iPhone 6s, 6s Plus, 6 and 6 Plus but there are plans for a Samsung Galaxy phone version as well. No Malaysia release dates or pricing details but ExoLens should be available in Q2 2016 at $299 (RM1322) for the macro and wide-angle lens or $199 (RM880) for the telephoto lens.

What do all these three devices have in common? The answer - they all look like Apple iPhones or more specifically, the iPhone 6. So if you happen to be looking for an iPhone 6 clone for your Christmas list, you’ve come to the right place. We are comparing not two but three smartphones for a three way match - The Lenovo Sisley (also known as Lenovo S90 Sisley) vs the HTC One A9vs the Meizu MX5! Who will come out victorious? Read on and you’ll find out, let the clone wars continue!

Apple's WWDC just went down yesterday with a number of major announcements including iOS 9, Apple Music and watchOS 2. Apple iOS 9 will be coming to certain Apple devices with a number of new features including a split screen view for multitasking, a built-in notes app, better Siri and Apple Maps, a news app and improved battery and performance. Instead of 4.6GB free storage space like last time, you only need 1.3GB free storage space to install iOS 9. All devices that ran iOS 8 will get iOS 9 but older less powerful devices may get a slimmer version which is faster but has less features. Apple Music on the other hand will be Apple's take on music streaming much like Spotify. The watchOS 2 on the other hand will offer Apple Watch users some new features and improvements. Other new features for iOS 9 include a screen recording feature, new fonts and changes to the keyboard. Check out the Apple site for more details.
