iphone 6 review

Hi all,

Latest update : i have the iphone 6 already. yea! a birthday present and i am loving it to bits. :) previously, prior to this iphone 6, i have been using samsung s4 and before s4, i have been using the iphone 4s and before that an iphone 3. So, it is safe to say that I am a fan of iphone.i have always loved iphone solely because of its sophistication. i do not know how to explain it but i feel that other phone is filmsy and at the low range in terms of reliability.

The only thing about previous iphones that i do not particularly like is the shape and size. When all of its competitors are striving to sell slim phones with bigger screen display, apple kept its boxy shape and small screen display. That was the main reason why I chose to change from iphone 4s to samsung s4 last year. I was actually curious and intrigued to use android based phone and the slim design and shape of the s4 made me jumped to the shop to purchase it last year's July.

And now after being used for one year and 3 months, the phone started to have major problems that i just could not ignore anymore. (Actually I could, but the iphone 6's too beauuutiful to not be purchased, haha). The s4's started to have symptoms such as when you change to full screen it will be upside down, when playing games, when we tilt the phone to left, it will turn right instead and vice versa. Furthermore, the cosmetic of the phones looked so worn out as if i have been using it for 10 years. boohoo to samsung for low level of cosmetic reliability. And to top it off, 2 weeks before iphone 6 was launched, the phone's camera decided to die on me. T-T. When i want to take pictures, it had to be done via apps such as instagram. That was too much of hassle, wasn't it? But still, i thought "meh, i can still live with this, why waste money to buy new phone when the phone still can be used for basic function such as calling people and whatsapping?".

OK, and then, another issue came up. My mom's birthday's coming up on the 21st of November and us sisters decided to get her the new iphone6 on the day that it was launched - 6th November - for fear that it will be sold out and won't be restocked again. So, there i was asking syafik to go get the iphone on the first day of launching at the new shopping complex - the main place in usj, as his office is just next door. So, being a good husband (I love you ki), he went and bought the phone for my mom. And, the night that he brought home the phone, i fell in love with the phone instantly. Mostly due to the phone's slim shape, but suffice to say, it is everything i ever wanted in an iphone! T-T. still, i kept my calm and convinced myself that there is no need for a new phone.

And then, we found out that the iphone 6 needs to be using nano simcard instead of the micro simcard, I need to go to maxis center to change my mom's sim card since her number is under my account. So off we go to maxis center on a saturday - 8th November - to change my mom's sim card to be used with the iphone 6. We went to the center in sunway pyramid and the center was swamped with people trying to secure the iphone6. boohoo. and then it happened - that feeling of wanting something so badly - i want that new iphone! haha. but i still kept my calm.

Went straight to the counter to change the sim card and the people at the counter asked me " Ms, do you want to upgrade to iphone 6?You can still keep your old plan (i have been paying rm100 for my phone + data plan since forever ), we will waive the rm600 advance payment and simcard change's fee,since you are a loyal customer with good payment history and you can get the phone for rm1.5k++ (cant remember)". And i fell apart. Since hubby's buying as my birthday present, i said yes! haha. why not, right?  Actually you can get the phone for much cheaper if you buy it with maxis' latest plan RM155++ monthly, but so far rm100 has been enough for me throughout the yeasr, i feel that another additional 50++ would be unnecessary and an additional burden to my monthly expenses. So, i got the iphone with my old plan and i am one happy wife. :)

Anyway, focusing back on the phone, I got the iphone 6 and not the iphone 6plus as i feel that the iphone6's size is just nice for me, nice grip feeling and the fit is just nice for my hands' size.if you like your screen bigger and dont mind using the phone with both hands especially during typing, by all means, it is better to opt for the iphone 6 plus as the picture's resolution is much higher than the normal iphone 6. but honestly, being an employee of sony specializing in high definition TV, i can say the the iphone 6's resolution is clear and sufficient for normal high definition youtube viewing. Other than that, the iphone 6 plus also has longer battery life and a better iphone with faster shutter speed or something. Other than that, everything is pretty much the same with the iphone 6. Based on that judgement, i opted for iphone 6 and still pretty much heads over heels with the phone. :) And oh, the battery life for the iphone 6 after using it for almost 2 weeks now, is marvellous! The battery can last 12 hours with heavy usage ! And by heavy i meant continous usage of safari, facebook, youtube, whatsapp & instagram. Teeheehee. that's all i do with my phone anyway. Awesome right? Previously, for samsung, i need to recharge my phone after 4 hours of the same activities ok. So, kudos to iphone for the longer battery life.

Once i got the phone and got to play around with it, i suddenly felt so relieved to be using an iphone again. i never realized how much i loved the sophistication feeling of an iphone. Albeit the fact that i will miss the free apps from android, i feel that everything about the iphone is at a slightly higher level than any samsung phones. Hmm, i do not know how to explain it further, but i bet any of the avid iphone user can understand that feeling, right? :)

So, what are you waiting for?Go get an iphone 6 now! :p
