News & Reviews:   Apple iPhone 6 specification

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.

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.

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.

Celcom has revealed their registration of interest page for the Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus with a surprising release date of 6 November 2014. This date is a day ahead of the date revealed by DiGi's registration of interest page but DiGi has followed up by removing their release date completely. This means that we will likely see the Apple iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in Malaysia on 6 November 2014. Stay tuned for more developments in the next few weeks. 

Unlike the other Malaysian telco's Celcom isn't offering any registration of interest or pre-check page for the upcoming Apple iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus. The only thing about this on the site is a teaser image of the iPhone 6 and that it is coming soon to Celcom. Knowing Celcom, their Apple iPhone launch parties tend to be the biggest in the bunch, so it isn't too surprising that they aren't offering any registration of interest page just yet. No news on Malaysia release date or pricing yet for the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus but DiGi says that they will be available on 7 November 2014, so stay tuned.

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. If you've been waiting and wanting a cheaper Apple iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus and you like DiGi's telco plans go check out the registration of interest page and fill up your particulars. We expect DiGi to hold a big launch party for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus on that Friday so better clear up your schedule for it.

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. Check it out for yourself in this article.
