  • Apple Malaysia cuts iPhone 5S to RM1999 and iPhone 5C to RM1499

    Apple Malaysia cuts iPhone 5S to RM1999 and iPhone 5C to RM1499

    While the Apple iPhone 6 and Apple iPhone 6 Plus have yet to arrive in Malaysia, and won't be for another month or so, the Apple iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C have both received a price cut at the Malaysia Apple Store. The 16GB version Apple iPhone 5S now starts from RM1999 (previously it was RM2399), while the 32GB version will be priced at RM2199. An 8GB Apple iPhone 5C on the other hand will be priced from RM1499, with no 16GB or 32GB version available at the Malaysia Apple Store. Colours remain the same though, with the iPhone 5S coming in silver, gold and space gray while the iPhone 5C comes in vlue, green, pink, yellow and white. We expect the pricing at Malaysian telcos to go down even further soon, perhaps even for FREE for the Apple iPhone 5S (the iPhone 5C is already free). We also expect the higher-end 16GB and 32GB Apple iPhone 5C and 64GB Apple iPhone 5S smartphones in stock to either get a quick sale or disappear off the shelves quietly.

  • Apple Watch smartwatch officially announced

    Apple Watch smartwatch officially announced

    The Apple Watch is probably the most anticipated smartwatch around. Going for a thick slab of touchscreen look with rounded corners and a Retina screen it will come in two sizes, one smaller 38mm sized case and another larger 42mm sized case, making it good for both men and women or at least those with small and large sized wrists. Like other normal smartwatches, it is a companion device, meant to work with your Apple iPhone but it is also a fitness tracker. Detailed tech specs are not available yet, but we do know that it has a battery life of about one day, uses an Apple S1 system-on-chip, has a Retina Display and NFC. It is compatible with Apple iPhones from the Apple iPhone 5 and above. Notable features are listed in this article.

    Apple iPhone 6 Plus officially announced, 5.5-inch display + 8MP OIS camera tech specs confirmed

    Confirming many of the rumours, Apple is finally entering the phablet market with the official announcement of the Apple iPhone 6 Plus. Like it's smaller Apple iPhone 6 sibling, the overall thinner design with rounded corners and sides remains the same as all the dummy casings which were leaked lately. The iPhone 6 Plus will be 7.1mm thin and there is no premium version which will have a sapphire crystal glass display. As it is, most of the tech specs and features on the Apple iPhone 6 Plus remain the same as the Apple iPhone 6, except that the Apple iPhone 6 Plus has a larger 5.5-inch display with 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution for a 401 ppi pixel density. Other tech specs different in the Apple iPhone 6 Plus include optical image stabilization for the still 8MP iSight rear camera. The iPhone 6 Plus also has support for landscape mode and some apps can activate a split display while the keyboard also has more keys.

  • Apple iPhone 6 officially announced, 4.7-inch display + 64-bit A8 processor + 8MP camera

    Apple iPhone 6 officially announced, 4.7-inch display + 64-bit A8 processor + 8MP camera

    In what has become the most leaked Apple iPhone to date, the Apple iPhone 6 has finally and officially been announced. Confirming most of the rumours, the Apple iPhone 6 will come in two versions, one with a 4.7-inch display and another with a 5.5-inch display. The 4.7-inch display version will be called the Apple iPhone 6. If you've seen the previously leaked dummy versions, not much has changed with the official iPhone 6. This means you get a 6.9mm thin metal chassis with rounded corners and sides. The most notable confirmed and unconfirmed features include the fact that it will not be using sapphire crystal glass, instead it will be using glass much like Corning Gorilla Glass 3 (Corning Gorilla Glass 3 was not named specifically). While the previous Apple iPhone 5S focused more on health, the newer focus for the iPhone 6 looks to be the camera as Apple are throwing in an image signal processor and faster auto-focus to help the still 8MP rear camera handle things. Notable new features of the Apple iPhone 6 can be seen in the article.

    Apple iPhone and iWatch coming on 9 September 2014?

    Apple has sent out invitations for an event on 9 September 2014. The invite doesn't give much of a hint apart from the title "Wish we could say more". However, many are expecting the event to reveal the Apple iPhone 6 or at least the version with the 4.7-inch display. Already, any number of Apple iPhone 6 clones have appeared, many of which have been confirmed to be how the original will look like. Other devices may also make an appearance such as the Apple iWatch and possibly some premium Audio devices from Apple's recent purchase of Beats Audio. The final version of iOS 8 is also expected to be available on the same date but there are still no details on Malaysia release dates or pricing. If we were to follow the trend we should see the Malaysia launch in November 2014 at $100 (RM315) more than the previous Apple iPhone 5S.

Other measurements incude 138.14 x 66.97 x 6.9mm and 112g for the N61.

    Rumours: Meizu MX4 photos leak, almost no bezels

    The upcoming rumoured Meizu MX4 smartphone has apparently been photographed with a picture showing the smartphone to have nearly no bezels. While the rest of the design follows the Apple iPhone right down to the rounded corners and circular home button, the screen looks to be much bigger. Rumoured tech specs include a versions that will have a 5.5-inch screen with 1536 x 2560 pixel resolution along with a version offering a 5-inch screen and 1080 x 1800 pixel resolution. Other tech specs include 3GB of RAM, a 16MP rear camera and 8MP front camera. No Malaysia release dates or pricing yet and it will likely never come to Malaysia unless through third-party sellers. However, the Meizu MX4 is rumoured to be priced around $320 (RM1011) perhaps to give the Xiaomi Mi 4 some competition.

    Xiaomi recently made their latest flagship smartphone, the Mi 4 officialy with a launching in Beijing yesterday.

  • Apple iPhone 6 clone shows up in video as Wico i6

    Apple iPhone 6 clone shows up in video as Wico i6

    We recently reported on Apple iPhone 6 clones with 4.7-inch displays appearing several months ahead of the actual Apple iPhone 6 smartphone. Well, now you can see it in a comparison video with the Apple iPhone 5s where it reveals itself as the Wico i6. Quite obviously, the 4.7-inch screen is not a Retina Display and the operating system is not iOS. Tech specs and features for the Wico i6 include a quad-core processor, 2GB RAM, 32GB storage, Android 4.4 KitKat and the aforementioned 4.7-inch screen with a 960 x 1704 pixel resolution. The camera has an LED flash but we doubt that the home button holds any form of Touch ID fingerprint scanner. Pricing is around $200 (RM639) to $300 (RM959) and we expect it to appear in Malaysia with third-party sellers anytime now. Be warned though, that this Wico i6 and other clones are not guaranteed to look exactly like the Apple iPhone 6 which is due in September 2014 so you may just be buying a cheap knockoff of a prototype. Check out the videos for yourself in this article.
