I want to ask there is a different between Singapore set & Malaysia set? Because I want to buy an iPhone 5 and I don't actually know how to differentiate between Singapore set & Malaysia set and what the advantages of having Malaysia set instead of Singapore's.

Price

there is any different with the warranty?

only price different..warranty is the same. and close this thread..

Local warranty. Singapore set means you can only claim warranty from Singapore. Malaysian iPhone, Malaysian warranty.

why cant you guys put this is the official discussion for iphone...

I have ask Apple before, Singapore set or Malaysia set is begin to anywhere Apple Warranty...

If you said so, I'm glad to hear. Thanks.

@zakwanzamri,
The difference between the 2 sets are prices and the warranty. Apple only gives out local warranties for iPhone purchases.

one is SGD and one is RM, malaysia almost have cheapest price for apple product of the world for iphone and ipads

but some of the grey importer in malaysia sell the same thing at the highest markup price in the world

u pay the premium for early adopter... its free market... you can always wait and choose not to buy, or go sg buy yourself...

So if we're malaysian user, is there's any good for us to buy singapore set?

both same ..
different is price .. if u convert sgd to myr
and warranty,spore got apple store,easy to claim warranty,can get replacement unit more faster

Please close this thread. So many iPhone 5 threads and this can be discussed in the iPhone discussion thread...

Okay thanks!

lol i dont think a new thread is needed for this. too many new iPhone threads lately asking small issues like this.

singapore set is exactly the same as malaysian set. both also officially unlocked. sg set more ex since knowing msia's retail price upon launching. warranty wise: sg set must be sent back to sg for warranty. perhaps apple store or telco. msia set warrantied locally, send back to telco, cos msia has no apple store. (not sure whether authorized reseller like machines wud accept warranty claims for the iPhone)

there is 1 more difrent. is model number
malaysia iphone got MY

Yea, Singapore its ZA

Difference is price and warranty. For singapore set, warranty cannot claim here as iphone is the only apple product that warranty is local d. So if ur iphone rosak, u need to send back to singapore to claim warranty. If u dun want to go through all the hassle, i suggest u get a malaysia set

how about second hand value?which one is higher?or same?

local set will have high value for 2nd hand as people can claim warranty in malaysia if still left any warranty

if no warranty on both sets.. then the price will be the same for 2nd hand value

i agree..i will go for malaysian set...better secondhand value..better service..

slightly differences, RM100-RM150 only

Agreed, Singapore set expensive + secondhand no value lol.

Want to sell next time, sell at Singapore

everyone wud definitely want/prefer local set. but with the current scene, i think stock availability might be an issue. not sure thou. you can try your luck.

Sg set more expensive,I bought my 32gb white for rm2700.

Nope if you buy from grey seller yes it is expensive

If you buy from their currently yes it is expensive

But for 2nd hand value local set will be more expensive


That's the reality need to accept when buy from grey seller and Singapore

You are buying the product+gst

Malaysia (Local Set) tend to be more value as once i sold off my Nokia 5800 they will immediately want my sets as when i told them it is from Malaysia. I do not know why? Was told that Malaysia sets is International warranty, if Singapore set then will be In Singapore only. Correct me if i am wrong.

Not international warranty?

i dont think iphone got international warranty..correct me if iam wrong

Most obvious diff is the warranty ...

some claim only those purchase at apple online store will cover for international warranty =)

so singapore is ZA? now I know how to detect singapore's set. thanks again!

Can we claim iPhone Malaysia set in Singapore? Thanks smile.gif

Might be the warranty itself
