    Rumours: Colourful 4-inch metal iPhone to be released in February 2016?

    About a month ago, we covered that Apple could be working on a 4-inch Apple iPhone powered by an A9 chip and 3GB RAM early next year. The rumour is quite shady on this, but according to a Chinese website Techweb they claimed that the "iPhone 6c" could be made of metal, has a fingerprint sensor on it and does not feature 3D Touch. 

    This actually tallies well with the previous speculation, as the sources are from anonymous “Foxconn insiders” stating that Apple might reveal the device in January then going on retail sale the month after that. It could also cost between $400 - $500 (around RM1690 - RM2112) since theiPhone 5c 16GB model started at $549 (RM2319.66).

    Celcom offering early bird freebies for Apple iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C launch event

    Celcom looks to be having a midnight Apple iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C launch like usual as they just put out the invite for tonight to be held at the Blue Cube at Sunway Pyramid. As an incentive for those wanting to pick up the latest Apple iPhone under a Celcom subscription, Celcom are offering a number of freebies for the first 100 customers which includes an Apple iPhone case, a Self-repairing screen protector worth RM150 and either an RM500 voucher or Mystery Gift. While the Phone case and screen protector seems obvious the choice of either an RM500 voucher or a Mystery gift indicates that there could be some sort of lucky draw amongst the 100 early-bird subscribers. The event is set to start at 8pm today, so there should be time enough to pick up some supplies and wait for midnight.

  • Rumours: Apple iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C get Malaysia pricing?

    Rumours: Apple iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C get Malaysia pricing?

    While the Apple iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C are already slated for a Malaysia release date of 31 October  2013 to 1 November 2013, the official pricing for the smartphones in Malaysia have yet to be released. However, Malaysian Wireless has recently got some insider information regarding what could be the official pricing of the newest Apple iPhones. This includes:

    • Apple iPhone 5C 16GB ~ RM1899
    • Apple iPhone 5S 16GB ~ RM2299
    • Apple iPhone 5S 32GB ~ RM2599
    • Apple iPhone 5S 64GB ~ RM2899

    While these are not official prices, they do match rather closely with the price of the Apple iPhone 5 when it was launched last year at RM2199. It also matches with what Apple have done for other countries with weakened currencies like Japan and France which have seen minor increases in price for the new Apple iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C smartphones.

  • Apple iPhone 5S and 5C available online at Malaysia Apple store from 31 October 2013

    Apple iPhone 5S and 5C available online at Malaysia Apple store from 31 October 2013

    While the official announcement from Apple yesterday outed the Malaysia release date for the Apple iPhone 5S and5C as 1 November 2013, a look at the Apple Malaysia site reveals another date. When you scroll down to the Shop online option the date you can start ordering online at the Malaysian Apple store is 31 October 2013. This means if you're looking to get the Gold Apple iPhone 5S then you should be prepared for a midnight rush on 30 October 2013. Looking back at the wording of the announcement and it specifically says "by 1 November 2013" which means that 31 October 2013 also works as it is before the 1 November 2013 deadline. 

  • Apple iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C coming to Malaysia by 1 November 2013

    Apple iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C coming to Malaysia by 1 November 2013

    Apple has just announced the second phase of it's iPhone roll-out and Malaysia is on the list. With this, Apple has officially confirmed that the Apple iPhone 5S and Apple iPhone 5C will be launched in Malaysia on 1 November 2013. While the announcement covers the Malaysia release date, it doesn't include pricing, so we still don't know the official price of either smartphone. In this case we're happy to be wrong with our initial release date estimates of December 2013 but prices are likely to be a bit higher this time around due to the weaker Ringgit and a currency exchange between US Dollars and the Ringgit. We expect that on the launch date of 1 November 2013, all the major telcos will release their Apple iPhone 5C or 5S bundles as well but it will also likely be made available at other local retail sellers. Stay tuned and we'll keep you posted as to any new development.

  • Apple iPhone 5C Officially announced

    Apple iPhone 5C Officially announced

    As mentioned in our Apple iPhone 5S report, the other device to be officially announced is the plastic backplated Apple iPhone 5C. Effectively replacing the Apple iPhone 5, the Apple iPhone 5C has nearly the same hardware and tech specs, including the same dual-core A6 processor and chipset, 4-inch Retina display (1136 x 640) and 8MP iSight camera. The only major hardware differences include a bigger battery, a new FaceTime HD 1.2MP front camera and the aforementioned colourful plastic backplates which come in blue, green, pink, yellow and white (sorry, no black yet). At 9mm and 132g the iPhone 5C is thicker and heavier than the iPhone 5. Other tech specs and features include 100Mbps LTE connectivity, WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0. While it packs in an 8MP iSight camera it probably isn't the same as the one on the Apple iPhone 5S as it has an f/2.4 aperture and only one LED flash.

  • Rumours: Apple iPhone 5C tech specs appear - dual-core + 4-inch + 1GB RAM + IOS 7 + Siri

    Rumours: Apple iPhone 5C tech specs appear - dual-core + 4-inch + 1GB RAM + IOS 7 + Siri

    Too many cooks spoil the broth, but too many leaks spoil the anticipation especially where the supposedly low-cost Apple iPhone 5C is concerned. After how many pics of seeing the plastic backsides of the iPhone 5C some more substantial information has leaked in the form of tech specs. This comes from insider information and while it is just as unofficial as all the other leaks it is a bit different from the rest, so it is a bit more refreshing. Tech specs for the Apple iPhone 5C from said insider includes:

    • A dual-core processor and chipset
    • 4-inch display (1136 x 640)
    • 1GB RAM
    • 16/32/64GB storage
    • 8MP rear camera + 1.2MP front camera
    • 124.2 x 58.4 x 7.6mm | 106g
    • Supports iOS 7 + Siri
  • Rumours: Black Apple iPhone 5C appears

    Rumours: Black Apple iPhone 5C appears

    We've seen any number of colourful plastic backcasings for the upcoming low-cost Apple iPhone 5C and we've also seen it in white. However, we've never seen it black, until now. Recently leaked images show the glossy black Apple iPhone 5C and it looks way better than any of the other colours. No idea why it took so long for it to surface but it should offer an interesting option when or if the Apple iPhone 5C gets released. Again, no news on availability in Malaysia although many are guessing it will probably be after the 10 September announcement. Pricing is rumoured to be not so low-cost as initially expected (around $400 ~ $500 or RM1317 ~ RM1646) but it is still better than the upcoming Apple iPhone 5S which is rumoured to cost $650 (RM2139). For now, check out the pics.

  • Rumours: New Apple iPhone 5S and 5C release date for 25 October 2013

    Rumours: New Apple iPhone 5S and 5C release date for 25 October 2013

    Previously Apple teased 10 September 2013 as the date when they would reveal the next Apple iPhone, which would probably be the Apple iPhone 5S. Many are expecting it to come with the final version of iOS 7 and be announced alongside the low-cost Apple iPhone 5C. However, this may no longer be the case as some anonymous tipsters have suggested that both smartphones may be released on 25 October 2013 instead. While this would definitely involve the Apple iPhone 5S and lower cost Apple iPhone 5C, it could also come with the announcement of the new MacBook Air as well. We're thinking that while the Apple iPhone 5S and 5C may be announced on 10 September 2013, they'll only be released and be available on 25 October 2013 which could be the reason for the different dates. However, we shouldn't have to wait all that long as 10 September 2013 is just around the corner.
