Recommended Retail Price (RRP) for iPhone 4S in Malaysia!

Hi my loyal readers and one-time readers,

johnkhor.com has been missing for the past 1 month. Many apologies. I need to rush for my Holistic Nutrition degree program final assignments and final examination paper. Phew! Luckily everything is finished and submitted before the 31st December 2011 deadline. God bless! :-)

Moreover, johnkhor.com’s assignments from USM’s Business Management have just been submitted before the 31st December 2011 deadline. This is my worst Christmas and New Year Eve Celebration. This picture describes my feeling very well.

Study LifeEnough of my ranting. This is the first time that I have missed posting the RRP for Apple new products. I know I’m very late for my iPhone 4S posting but still it’s my ritual. So, here are the RRP for all iPhone 4S models. Continue reading

So, this date might, I say might, be true after all since some of the top bloggers do have insiders news about it. Read on for the rumored price of iPhone 4S in Malaysia. Continue reading

A5 chip overheating Delayed ‘iPhone 5′

iPhone 5G/iPhone 4S rumored phone design?

Well, Apple future products always create buzz and rumors. This is the latest one about iPhone 5 or iPhone 4S design.

Consistent with what the Internet says about the upcoming iPhone 5/iPhone 4S, the design of the phone will remain the same like iPhone 4 only with better camera (8 megapixel), A5 processor chip and minor cosmetic changes. The rumored minor cosmetic changes could be this:

iPhone 5G case from Alibaba

A new Chinese case design found on Alibaba, a business to business (B2B) site, rumored to be for ‘iPhone 5G’.

This is what the website says about the iPhone 5G casing:

1.100% brand new high quality crystal case for iPhone 5G.
2. Provides a comfortable grip, added protection against accidental drops.
3. Perfectly fits the iPhone 5G, easy to insert and remove.

We are talking about iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S and suddenly we have iPhone 5G. This is way overboard. So, please don’t buy the iPhone 5G idea. :-p

The design look awfully bad and doesn’t reflect the cool design of Apple products. I certainly hope that iPhone 5 will be something like that. One thing to note is that the rear camera flash has been moved to the right. This is consistent with another Apple-related website, Apple.pro. says about the iPhone 5 design.

iPhone 5 rumored cosmetic changes

Apple.pro iPhone 5 rear camera structure

The above picture show the difference between iPhone 4 rear camera and rumored iPhone 5 rear camera. iPhone 5 rear camera will not have attached flash. This strengthens the fact that iPhone 5 will have flash located separately from the camera. With this design, it will make the photos taken look more natural and better.

I prefer this mock-up design of iPhone 5. Looked much more sleek and cool.

What’s your say?

No iPhone 5 but iPhone 4S for 2011?

iPhone 4 side shot

“According to our industry checks, the device should be called iPhone 4S and include minor cosmetic changes, better cameras, A5 dual-core processor, and HSPA+ support,” he writes in a research note.

But he also says that “industry checks indicate Apple will likely announce Sprint, T-Mobile, and China Mobile as new carriers.”

The above excerpts are quoted from Jeffries & Co. analyst, Peter Misek. It’s rumored that this year iPhone refresh might be the same like iPhone 3G to iPhone 3GS. The better camera spec is rumored to be 8 megapixel camera, supplied by Sony.

Sprint, T-Mobile and China Mobile is rumored to be carrying iPhone by end of 2011.

As for LTE, he says the Qualcomm LTE chipset Apple would have used “is currently not achieving yields sufficient for inclusion in the iPhone 5.” He says Apple had hoped to have the LTE chipsets ready, but was planning a version without LTE called iPhone 4S.

Misek also reported that the Qualcomm LTE chipset is not available in large quantity that is able to support the predicted sales volume of iPhone 5/iPhone 4S.

Well, that’s a big disappointment. I was hoping that iPhone 5 or iPhone 4S will have LTE support, so that I can use Yes 4G, a mobile Internet service in Malaysia that provides 3-5X faster Internet speed than 3G. :-(

Again, I am predicting that iPhone 5/iPhone 4S will be coming to Malaysia in December 2011 or January 2011 if iPhone 5/iPhone 4S is launched in US in September 2011.

What’s your say?
