Maxis Launching iPhone 4S on Nov. 25, 2011

It is now widely speculated in Low Yat Net Forum discussions that Maxis will launch by Nov. 25, 2011 according to some insider information (there is a "big event" in Maxis soon).



It might be true due to several reasons:

  • Apple released a press information that there will be another 15 countries to launch by 11/11/11.
  • 70 more countries before the end of the year. This most likely include Malaysia.
  • Singapore have already launched theirs - both at their telcos and the Apple Online Singapore. Malaysia's black market is now full by iPhone 4S sets from Singapore and recently from Hong Kong. Now, Malaysian credit cards can be use to purchase the iPhone 4S but need to be delivered to Singapore address (unlike last year where we can only use Singapore credit cards)
  • Singapore Apple Online only open orders 21 and 22 Oct but later closed for new online orders.
  • However, yesterday, Singapore Apple online opened again (temporary) for 64GB iPhone 4S models. Delivery date is between 1-2 weeks (Shipping 17-24 Nov). 
  • This is what I believed Nov. 25, 2011 will be the date for the Malaysia to launch their iPhone 4S.
  • The staggered launching of iPhone 4S is probably Apple wants to control their supply chain. There is always a shortage of iPhone 4S worldwide.
  • Most probably there will be no Malaysia Apple Online iPhone 4S in order to give the local telcos (Maxis, Celcom and Digi) a good head start.
Do you think this prediction is right?

Celcom defer iPhone 4S launch from Nov. 26, 2011

A ‘little bird” revealed that Celcom would have launch their iPhone 4S on Nov. 26 which is to be 1 day (Nov. 25, 2011) after Maxis launch., but unfortunately for unknown reasons, the launch has been deferred with no specific date.
However today Apple Online US have recently opened for orders without contract.
This can be the other reason why Malaysia is being deferred - to control and manage to worldwide shortage of iPhone 4S.

iPad 3 to be launch in March 2012

Digitimes reported that the new iPad 3 is expected to be launch in Q2 2012.

“Apple's new generation iPad will enter mass production soon with the launch set for March 2012, according to sources from the upstream supply chain; however, the sources revealed that internally Apple does not view the new iPad product as iPad 3, but rather an upgraded iPad 2 and the real iPad 3 will not be launched until the third quarter of 2012 at the earliest.
The iPad 2 upgrade will be thinner than iPad 2, and will offer longer battery life. Due to the Lunar New Year holidays in China in January, Apple has decided to start small volume shipments in the fourth quarter of 2011, the sources noted.
Some channel retailers also pointed out that iPad 2 is still the most popular tablet PC product in the IT market currently and Apple has no need to rush to launch a new model.”

Apple to release a software patch (iOS 5.01?) to fix the Battery Issues .. But will it close the iOS 5.0 Jailbreak?

If Apple release the iOS patch as iOS 5.01, does it mean we will lose the iOS 5.0 Jailbreak?
Everyone have been waiting for the iOS 5.0 Jailbreak and hope it will release soon or it will also be able to Jailbreak the iOS 5.1.

I am sure Apple will close the iOS 5.0 Jailbreak hole if they release the 5.0 JB now...

Malaysia to Launch iPhone 4S before Dec. 31, 2011

As per the latest Apple Press Release.

Beginning Friday, November 11, iPhone 4S will be available in Albania, Armenia, Bulgaria, El Salvador, Greece, Guatemala, Hong Kong, Malta, Montenegro, New Zealand, Panama, Poland, Portugal, Romania and South Korea. iPhone 4S is available today in 29 countries around the world and will be available in more than 70 countries by the end of the year. “

It seems iPhone 4S will be available in Malaysia before Dec. 31, 2011 (unless Malaysia is not even in the list of 70 countries). My best bet would be 1-2 weeks before Christmas. Expect the 2 week of December for iPhone 4S. However, I am not sure whether its going to available Apple Store Online Malaysia or just the local telcos.
