The Apple iPhone 6 remains one of the worlds most wanted smartphones even here in Malaysia. The 6.9mm thin smartphone is also one of the first Apple smartphones to have a display larger than 4-inches with features and tech specs on par with any other flagship smartphone. If you've been wondering what the Malaysia local priced version will get you then check out our unboxing video of the 64GB Apple iPhone 6. As expected of such a premium device, the insides are also fairly premium but do check out our unboxing video for yourself in this article.

Apple Malaysia just released the local Malaysia pricing for the Apple iPhone 6 and Apple iPhone 6 Plus tonight. A quick look at the price reveals that the pricing is as expected at RM2399 for the 16GB Apple iPhone 6 and RM2749 for the 16GB Apple iPhone 6 Plus. Like everywhere else, the two smartphones will be available in 16GB, 64GB and 128GB storage options. The Apple iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c get price drops and are stuck to just 8GB, 16GB and 32GB storage options with the complete price listing as follows:

• Apple iPhone 6, 16GB storage ~ RM2399
• Apple iPhone 6, 64GB storage ~ RM2749
• Apple iPhone 6, 128GB storage ~ RM3149
• Apple iPhone 6 Plus, 16GB storage ~ RM2749
• Apple iPhone 6 Plus, 64GB storage ~ RM3149
• Apple iPhone 6 Plus, 128GB storage ~ RM3549
• Apple iPhone 5s, 16GB storage ~ RM1999
• Apple iPhone 5s, 32GB storage ~ RM2199
• Apple iPhone 5c, 8GB storage ~ RM1499

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.

Both Maxis and DiGi have opened up pre-orders for the Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus smartphones. They have also inadvertantly revealed the Malaysia pricing for the upcoming Malaysia release date of 6 November 2014. As it is, the 16GB Apple iPhone 6 will be going for RM2399 while the 16GB Apple iPhone 6  Plus will be going for RM2749. Check out the complete Malaysia pricing for the Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus below:

• Apple iPhone 6, 16GB storage ~ RM2399
• Apple iPhone 6, 64GB storage ~ RM2749
• Apple iPhone 6, 128GB storage ~ RM3149
• Apple iPhone 6 Plus, 16GB storage ~ RM2749
• Apple iPhone 6 Plus, 64GB storage ~ RM3149
• Apple iPhone 6 Plus, 128GB storage ~ RM3549

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.

The folks at TechRax did a drop test for all of the Apple iPhone smartphones. This included a side drop and front facing drop for each iPhone onto a hard driveway, revealing that while most of the iPhones can take a beating from the side, nearly all of them smashed from the front. Granted, the front of the Apple iPhone 3G did not shatter but this was mainly due to luck as it dropped on the side first. While it doesn't seem to show any difference from beginning to end, it does show that if you're going to get any Apple iPhone, the first thing you should do is get a shock-proof casing around it quick because an accidental front drop will probably result in a shattered screen.

While there are still no definite Malaysia release dates or pricing details for the Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, Maxis could be planning to open pre-orders for the smartphones as soon as 10 October 2014. This comes from a teaser image posted by Maxis themselves hinting at the #nextbigthing. Traditionally, the slogan "the next big thing" originally came from the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, however, the teaser image shows toast and a jar of Apple jam, so it could also be for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. The reflection seems to indicate 10 while the toaster is all metal and rounded. As it is, China is expected to get the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus on 17 October 2014. We're still expecting the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus to hit Malaysia in late October or early November 2014 though.

A really dedicated photographer recently took pictures using all of the Apple iPhones from the first iPhone to the latest Apple iPhone 6 and mashed the camera samples up together in a big comparison. While many say that the iPhone takes better camera shots, the mashup clearly shows the evolution of the iPhone camera in terms of depth, resolution and colour reproduction. The photographer offers six types of shots including macro, backlit, daylight, portrait, sunset and low-light. Check it out for yourself in this article.

The Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have already arrived in the US and other select markets. While there are no Malaysia release dates or pricing details yet, many are expecting the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus to reach us in November 2014, so we still have time to decide which Apple iPhone to get. Following the iPhone lineup in the US, we estimate that for Malaysia there will be the Apple iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C. For this comparison we'll see which Apple iPhone you should get as we compare the Apple iPhone 6 vs the Apple iPhone 6 Plus vs the Apple iPhone 5S vs the Apple iPhone 5C. Check out our detailed analysis in this article.

Both the Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have already been released in the US and selected markets. As such, there is already a drop test for both iPhones, this time courtesy of Phonebuff. The drop test reveals that the new metal casing is definitely tough and strong, with next to no damage from the drops apart from a few scratches. However, the supposedly shatter proof glass protecting both screens... shattered, quite badly. Apple has been quite clear in that the glass covering both iPhones is not Corning Gorilla Glass. We also would like to note that the Home button for both the iPhones which is protected by sapphire crystal did not break or crack, and that the larger and heavier iPhone 6 Plus broke faster than the iPhone 6, proving that the bigger something is, the harder it will fall.
