Latest News:  iPhone 6 plus

While we've already covered the various Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus bundles available for DiGi, they have also revealed where they are going to launch the smartphones as well. Like the other Malaysian Telcos, the DiGi launch will happen at 12.00am tonight at various locations in Malaysia. This includes the DiGi stores at Paradigm Mall in Petaling Jaya, Taman Molek in Johor Bahru, Api-Api in Kota Kinabalu, Jalan Kulas Tengah in Kuching, Pulau Tikus and Jalan Tun Ismail in Kuantan, Pahang. Check out the DiGi site for a full address list and directions complete with map (via Google Maps) for more information.

Celcom has revealed their bundles for the upcoming Apple iPhone 6 and Apple iPhone 6 Plus smartphones from as low as RM418 and RM768. You can sign up for either 12 or 24 month contracts and you can even trade-in your old Apple iPhone 4 and above to get a rebate. Celcom will be launching the Apple iPhone 6 tonight at the Blue Cube in Sunway Pyramid from 6PM (the actual sale will still start at 12am on 6 November 2014). Early birds to the event could win a free gift worth RM1000 while lucky customers could get RM600 worth of discounts off their iPhone 6 Plus purchase. Check out the table and links in this article for more information.

For those not in the know, the whole bendgate issue centered on how easy it was to bend the Apple iPhone 6 Plus smartphone. Apple responded that only 9 users submitted reports on a bent Apple iPhone 6 Plus. In response, a site called OneoftheNine.com popped up where users who have bent iPhone 6 Plus smartphones submit picture evidence. What is even more worrying is that it isn't just the iPhone 6 Plus, those who have bought the iPhone 6 have also reported their smartphones bending for no apparent reason (no sitting, jeans pocket, back pocket or sitting on involved). As such, we are extending our earlier recommendation for the iPhone 6 Plus to the iPhone 6 as well. Before you become someone who posts about their iPhone at OneoftheNine.com, do get a good and tough case for your Apple iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, both of which are set for Malaysia release at midnight tonight. In the meantime, check out the video in this article for more bent iPhones.

Rumours have it that Apple may have fixed their latest batch of Apple iPhone 6 Plus smartphones so that they do not bend as easily as before. According to rumours, this was discovered by a reddit user named doctorkuddles who had initially bought a 16GB iPhone 6 Plus smartphone for his wife and recently bought a new 128GB iPhone 6 Plus smartphone for himself. Upon closer inspection he discovered that his newer 128GB iPhone 6 was both heavier and more solid than the earlier bought 16GB iPhone 6 smartphone. His exact words were that he discovered a "red colored object placed in the volume down button crank". After contacting iFixit, they discovered that the latest batch of iPhone 6 Plus smartphones were 8g heavier than the first batch. While it doesn't confirm anything (at least until someone tries bending the latest batch of iPhone 6 Plus smartphones), it could mean that if you do accidentally bend your iPhone 6 Plus, you will get the fixed version as a replacement. Apple have not confirmed anything and doesn't seem like they are recalling any of their earlier released bendable iPhone 6 Plus smartphones either. While this may be good news for iPhone 6 Plus users do take this rumour with a good pinch of salt and don't go bending your smartphones intentionally.

Maxis is also offering the Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus on pre-order. The iPhone 6 is available from as low RM659 while the iPhone 6 Plus can be had for as low as RM999. This is of course on a 24 month contract but you also have the option to sign up for a 12 month contract as well. As a bonus to Maxis fans and helping it stand out from the other telcos, Maxis will be offering their Midnight Express delivery service as well. In short, Maxis will select a few lucky users from their Pre-order list and send it to you on 6 November 2014 for FREE anywhere, as long as you put down the details in the Deliver Option field for the pre-order. Check out all the details and links in this article.

The Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are finally available for pre-order at DiGi. The iPhone 6 will be available from RM1181 while the iPhone 6 Plus will go from RM1516. If you don't mind paying more every month you can also get the iPhone 6 from RM557 or the iPhone 6 Plus at RM892 on the iDiGi 238 plan. As usual, you will be expected to sign up for a 24 month contract but thankfully there are a lot of postpaid plans you can choose from and you can either pay on a 0% installment plan or the full amount. Regardless of which smartphone or payment amount you choose, DiGi will begin deliveries on 6 November 2014. If you've been on a DiGi Postpaid plan for 12 months or more you don't have to pay the Advance Payment. Check out the table and links in this article for more details.

The Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus just can't seem to catch a break as more rather strange faults appear. This time, the white, plastic parts on the gold coloured iPhone 6 have apparently become dyed blue from the blue jeans pockets they were put into. Apple has said it can be removed using normal cleaning products, but afflicted users have said that this does not work. The 128GB iPhone 6 Plus on the other hand is crashing or looping continuously from a reboot. Many of these users apparently installed too many apps but this hasn't been confirmed to be the cause just yet. As per their earlier replacement policy, Apple has been replacing these crashing iPhones. While we don't want to stir up anything, we've had any number of white phones and blue jeans but no dyed blue smartphones yet, so this Dyegate problem could be just specific to the Apple iPhone 6. Our earlier recommendation remains the same though, get a casing on as soon as you get your iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus.

If you'd rather go for a Maxis postpaid plan for your new Apple iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, then do check out the Maxis Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus pre-check page. Acting sort of like the usual registration of interest page, the pre-check page will allow Maxis to get in touch with you when it comes out. No news on a possible Malaysia release date or pricing just yet but DiGi have it coming on 7 November 2014 so it isn't all that far off in actuality. Stay tuned for more developments and we'll keep you posted as soon as we know.

DiGi has opened up their registration of interest page for the Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus smartphones and at the same time, revealed when Malaysia would be getting the latest Apple iPhones. According to DiGi this date is 7 November 2014.
