Ho ho ho...

I knows it's Christmas but just a short update on the current stocks for the iPhone 5 offered by Digi.

In the website it's stated that All Models Available, but only if you buy online. If you prefer to get one  from the Digi Centre in your area. You better think twice. Most outlets are out of stocks while some are selling fast.

Below are the current stock level in respective outlets as at 3pm, 24th Dec 2012.

Wanna risk? Other options?? Just order online. It's the fastest and easiest way to order. It just CLICK and CLICK and CLICKs.

Good Luck And Merry Christmas.

The SIGN……

Screen Shot from Apple Malaysia

iPhone 5… The latest craze in town. Everyone is crazy about it and some are willing to camp outside the store just to be the first to get it. In Malaysia, the cost price for an iPhone 5 16gb goes as high as RM3500 per unit! And surprisingly people are still willing to pay for it. (I guessed they are using it as an iPod since nano sim are not available in Malaysia yet)

I can't understand the rationale on paying so much to get a phone that are worth around RM2199 without contract. I mean, the launching in Malaysia is just around the corner. Probably just another day or two before Apple announce the availability in Malaysia. 

The SIGN is HERE! Apple going to launch iPhone 5 in Malaysia soon.

The 3 Signs hints that iPhone 5 is ready for launch. The Date? I guess it's on the 29th September 2012. Just watch out for the updates in Apple.com/my that day. Instead of camping outside the store, all you need is to stay tune on my blog or alternatively, you can go to my Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/Connect2Usales. Will update once its out!

How DURABLE is iPhone 5?

iPhone 5….. the latest craze in town. People are willing to Queue overnight just to be the first to own it.   A lot of critics are writing off Apple latest smartphone as it is no longer a INNOVATOR product. But…. by looking at the numbers of people queuing up are more than last year, and the speed of stocks running out since the pre-order in Apple Online Store proves them wrong.

Those who managed to get their iPhone 5.. Congratulations… I have yet to receive mine as Malaysia is always late. Just hope the telcos will be bringing it soon. I have been waiting for it since…

Ok.. while waiting, I did some googling and found this interesting video from www.ifixyouri.com. It's a drop test on the new iPhone 5. These guys are actually dropping the mewl bought iPhone to determine the durability of the new iPhone 5.

Let's enjoy the video.

Drop test - Iphone 5 Vs Samsung Galaxy S3

Marketing War - Apple Vs Samsung - iPhone 5 VS S3

The new iPhone 5 has yet to hit the shelf but Samsung already started running ad to attack APPLE Latest Phone! 

Nice ad, huh…. but I, as a user for both Apple and Samsung phones, both have the own pros and cons and the ad above are a bit misleading. It's like comparing orange to banana instead of the same class.

My View on this.

1. Screen size - bigger screen means bigger phone and not everyone in this world likes to carry a 4.8" phone in their pocket. It relies heavily on user preference over size of the phone.

2. Display - Both company boasts on how clear is the screen. Theoretically, I'm not sure which one is better but practically, I think both around the same. On average, a person eye can't really differentiate the difference between a Retina Display and a HD super AMOLED. Trivia : How many USERS are actually setting the brightness to 100% ? I don't… Do you? Again, how important this comparison will be?

3. Standby - The definition of standby means you just keep your phone aside without using it. NO CALLS, NO SMS, NO WHATSOEVER… So again, this comparison is meaningless… unless there are a genius out there who bought a phone for the purpose of "standby" only…

4. RAM - The higher the ram, the more and the better performance your phone. Again, this will rely on the OS. IOS had proven that they do not need a lot of RAM to give the BEST PERFORMANCE! Just look at iPhone 4/4s. Only 512mb RAM but yet no one complains on it. 

5. Siri and S Voice - Personally I prefer Siri since she can understand my slang better… S Voice probably for those with better english pronunciation. Tried both but Siri seems better for me. S Voice are clear when used to dictate SMS but not in searching for my CONTACTS.

6. Storage - This is the area i guessed Apple need to improve. Having an external storage would be extremely useful especially for people who likes to takes photo and videos. 

7. IOS - I think a lot of people agreed that Android is laggy and problematic although they provides a lot of customisation. But Android 4.1 a.k.a. Jelly Bean improves a lot on the user experiences. I am currently using a Samsung Galaxy Nexus with Jelly Bean update and the performance is superb. The best version I ever use for Android. And since Nexus is a mid range phone, imagine what S3 can offers when they get the Jelly Bean updates. But until that day arrives, I still betting on IOS to be a better OS.

8. Different plug? Thats something I really don't understand. Why? So Apple can make more money by selling an adapter? LoL!!! I vote on S3 on this for sticking on microusb.

9. The rest…. hmm… NFC is practically useless in Malaysia, S Beam is just another name for contact transfer, I can also use my favourites to do a direct call, SMART ALERT? I don't think its very smart though… tilt to zoom? hmm.. how useful is this? Shake to update? I am sure most will turn off this features. Imagine a person goes clubbing and while dancing, the phone keep searching of updates. By the time you finish your dance, your battery life left 10%! Now, how useful is that?

Conclusion - Every phone comes with pros and cons. All the ads out there are created to convince consumers that they are the best. So as a SMART CONSUMER, you should really think on what is your NEED and WANTS when buying a phone. Talk and discuss with your seller and they should be able to advise you. Why pay for RM2K when you only need a phone to Call, SMS and Alarm? A normal phone cost less than RM100 also can do the job… 

Happy Reading and Good night…

Cheers

iPhone 4S - New Pricing

Try and guess what phone is this? It's the latest craze in town and a lot of people are willing to queue for it.

YES. You are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT! It's an iPhone 5 and it just launched on the 12th September 2012 in the U.S. 

It comes with NEW FANTASTIC FEATURES and expected to reach MALAYSIA before CHRISTMAS.

Are you going to get one? 

NO? You don't think its tempting enough to convince you to buy one? Or you still prefer the iPhone 4S?

Ok. As usual, when APPLE launches a new model of iPhone, the previous model will have a drop in price. Today topic is on the new pricing of the iPhone 4S. It might not be the latest one but it does most of the things iPhone 5 expected to offer. You still get SIRI, IOS 6, 8mp Camera and many more. And most important, it COMES with A NEW PRICING!!!!

Here are the prices offered. You do the comparisons ya…

From Celcom Website 

From Maxis Website

From DIGI Website

And finally, from APPLE STORE MALAYSIA WEBSITE

So, that's the pricing for the top 3 telcos in Malaysia and Apple Store Malaysia. If you still prefer the iPhone 4S and want to get one, probably this will help. 

Enjoy… Cheers….

 

Pre-Order of iPhone 5 - Are you going to get one too?

Hi,

As you might already know, the pre-order event for iPhone 5 started this morning and the first delivery expected to be on the 21st September 2012. Currently it's only available for AT&T, Sprint and Verizon, and with countries like US, UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, France and Germany also will be able to make a pre-order. For those who are curious, Malaysia "might" be getting their iPhone 5 after that, probably the second batch.

So are you planning to get one once it's officially available in Malaysia? Or are you going to get a friend to buy one from Singapore? Or you decided not to get one since it's no longer "SPECIAL" post Steve Jobs era? Going through website you will see a lot of comments on the iPhone 5 no longer special and exciting comparing those days when Jobs are presenting it…

Some of the feedbacks from the world….

1. i feel u can go for the s3 rather than i phone 5. s3 is proven to be a gud fone. as for i phone 5 - i feel tht they wd be carrying the same stuff except for the display size. - From GSMARENA

2.  i live in the uk and i'll never buy an iphone 5 or as it should be known as the iphone 4s+ as not enough has changed to make it a new phone, it's 1 row of icons longer, a new cpu/gpu probably still clocked at 1Ghz, 1Gig of ram and a new 19 pin usb connector. wow apple really know how to push the boundaries of technology. couple this with ios 6 and what you got, the same damn
phone as the first iphone and i bet a 6year old could use it as the childish icons need to be worked on to make it more appealing to a grown up (adult). and as for itune its the worst experience of my life it lost over half my music collection (over 200Gb) on its first day on my pc. - From GSMARENA

3. iPhone 5 has better design than Galaxy S3 despite has 4 inch screen. 
The body of iPhone 5 made of high quality metal and glass but Galaxy S3 made of cheap plastic.
For sure iPhone 5 is my choice. - From GSMARENA

So, there are mixed reactions on the new iPhone 5. So which group you are in? 

Regardless whether you are going to get one or not, I am going to grab one for myself. And if the wallet permits, I am going to get it once my supplier got it. 

A glance on the key features of iPhone 5.

• New IOS 6 installed - WOW! Great ! Amazing !
• 4" Retina Display Screen with 326ppi pixel density! 
• Only 112gm - WOW! You said S3 was light? This is 21gm lighter than S3
• New Apple A6 processor - 2x faster processor and graphic performance!
• Low battery consumption - I only hope it can last 24hours on heavy use!
• 4G LTE Network - Faster INTERNET! No 4G in Malaysia? No worries - DIGI is currently under upgrading process to offer LTE service and expected to complete by end of 2012!

A video to make you drool.. Hands on iPhone 5

Enjoy.

Great News for Apple Fans

Most of us knew that the next upcoming Apple Event will be held on 12th September 2012. The main objective for this event is rumoured to cater for the launch of the new iPhone.

Can this be an iPhone 5?

Apparently not… it's just an ad designed by a Apple Fan. Anyway, we will get to know soon enough.

The real GREAT news for this update was actually on the iPad mini. The event was planned sometime around October, one month after the iPhone 5 launch.

According to AllThingsD now backs up the claim with its own sources saying that Apple is planning for an iPad mini introduction in October.

Apple’s next generation iPhone and its so-called “iPad mini” will debut at two separate events this fall, rather than a single one as has been widely speculated, according to several sources. [...] 

Only after the next generation iPhone is out the door and on sale will Apple announce the smaller iPad it’s been working on. That device, which is expected to have a display of less than eight inches, will be uncrated at a second special event, which sources said is currently scheduled for October.

So Apple fans out there… stay tune for the latest updates!!

Enjoy and cheers…
