AlexRRR Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Apple released the 6 end of October last year, quick look on the web and nothing so expect end of October, to make your babe very happy you can pre order your new iPhone by popping into an Apple service centre she than can be one of the first Thais in the country to get her hands on a 6s or 6s+.

phazey Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Probably quicker and cheaper to buy one in your home country and post it over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichCor Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 None of the major mobile carries have any messages up on their store websites yet, pre-orders. The Nation's article stated, "both models will be available in Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, Singapore, the UK and US beginning Friday, 25 September, with pre-orders beginning Saturday, 12 September" Probably not a good idea to buy it through China, but It shows up as orderable on the Apple Singapore website (but, of course they won't authorize shipment to Thailand anymore.) Apple introduces iPhone 6s & iPhone 6s Plus The Nation | Staff Editor | September 10, 2015 Availability iPhone 6s will be available in gold, silver, space grey and the new rose gold metallic finishes for the 16GB model, 64GB model and the 128GB model. The new iPhones will be available from the Apple Online Store apple.com/th and also available through select carriers and Apple Authorised Resellers with a range of financing plans and payment options. iPhone 6s launched with wallpapers from Thai photographer By Coconuts Bangkok September 10, 2015 / 16:49 ICT The prices announced for the US buyers are USD649 - 849 for the iPhone 6s and USD749 - 999 for the iPhone 6s Plus. The phones will be launched on Sept. 25, but as expected, Thailand will have to wait for a few weeks more. I'm with previous posters guestimates of end of October or mid November.

bubba Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Probably quicker and cheaper to buy one in your home country and post it over. Definitely cheaper if you can buy one in the USA. Looks like Apple have caught up with the baht weakness in pricing the new iPhone 6S. For the base model: Price in Thailand (USD equivalent): $622 Price in USA: $549 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lammbock Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Got mine yesterday for 1,069 Euros + 149 Euros for the Apple Care. Will get tax refund once traveling back to Thailand of approx. 171 Euros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbelyeu Posted September 26, 2015 Author Share Posted September 26, 2015 Thanks for the responses.. I was able to find a guy in the US that sold me a 64GB Rose Gold Unlocked GSM model for 900 bucks including shipping to my forwarder in Houston.

bubba Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Are you talking about a 6s with 64mb? If so, in USD that would cost $736 direct from the Apple Store Thailand. If you bought one at an authorised distributor, you could also take another 7% off of that if you are eligible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Has anyone compared the new iPhone 6s plus, to the Samsung Galaxy Note 5? I am leaning toward the note 5, when I upgrade. The screen is way higher res than the new iPhone, as is the camera, and images and videos are stunning on it. Also, the internal Ram is 4gb, vs. 2gb.

The screen is way higher res than the new iPhone, as is the camera, and images and videos are stunning on it. Also, the internal Ram is 4gb, vs. 2gb. I don't understand why people ever compare an Android device to an Apple device since for most the OS is the deal breaker and not the hardware. I love the hardware Apple produces but have tried more than once to get used to the operating systems each time ending in frustration. If some day they make the hardware OS independant then I would be able to revist this and try again. I've read the reviews and will be trading my Sony Z3 in for the Note 5 64GB model when I get back to LOS. AIS is doing a promotion until the 30th of September for 4,000 THB off on the new Note 5's with a 1 year contract. My wife is picking me one up tomorrow. P.S. The wife has decided against the iPhone 6s (prefers android) so I have one for sale. The specs are US Apple store relase Rose Gold, 64GB model which is brand new and still in the box.

Will get tax refund once traveling back to Thailand of approx. 171 Euros. Why do you need apple care for an iPhone? For a laptop or desk top pc its not a bad idea but iPad and phone i think is just a waste of money. I'm on my 3rd iPhone and never had a problem bar once needed a simple reset.

wooloomooloo Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I've purchased iPhone 5, 5s, 6 and 6 Plus and now on 6s Plus and also never experienced a hardware problem. Though, I've only had my 6s Plus since Saturday but don't anticipate any future problems. iPhone 6s Plus is a beautiful machine. I thoroughly research the upgrades to utilise the most from my daily usage and expect the developers to catch up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be sure you actually spend some time using an Android device before you make the switch. I have tried each Android release hoping to be converted. However, I cannot imagine having to use an Android phone. Certainly there are things about Android that are better than iOS. However, there are subtleties in the UI (data entry, keyboard, fonts, consistency, etc.) that I cannot accept. I truly wish that Google would step up to these items to become a serious alternative.

Its a waste ! but not just i phone but all phones,tablets,tvs. There is a 6% chance that any of these may fail and 90% of that 6% are dead on arrival . If your phone works when you fire it up 1st time then your safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Luck with that. if you drop your iPhone twice, I don't think apple will give you a new one.better buy a nice protection for your phone that can sustain a drop.

I paid about 25,000 for my 64GB 5S. Guess that will have to last a bit longer, because there is not enough difference (to me) to warrant 48,000.
