Are you sure i6 plus 7-10 days, I only can see i6 7-10days but i6+ 3-4weeks on jp apple store. After browsing a few apple store, i6+ all waiting 3-4weeks, can't find 7-10days unless i6.

In unrelated news, seems that demand for 6+ is higher than what's expected. Production focusing on 6+ now. Source: http://9to5mac.com/2014/10/07/with-stronge...-from-iphone-6/

Should be RM3149. Because last year 5S 64GB is USD849. When it came to Malaysia it's RM3149. This year's 6 Plus is USD849. It would be simple logic if the 6+ 64GB is RM3149 as well.

I think u should compare against 5s 32gb pricing since iPhone 6 64gb is replacing it.

edit. seems like u we're comparing with 6+, so correct

Your price point is correct, assuming there is a 32GB storage space price point to make space for in the offering.

6+ 16GB = 749 6 64GB =749
6+ 64GB = 849 6 128GB = 849

But there isn't laugh.gif


If you're a business, would you make the price point in your product offering such a huge jump from 2399 suddenly jump to 3149? iphone 5s now 1999. Something is occupying the 2399 price point. That's the 16GB version. So.... what would occupy the 2749 price point? Hmmmm I dunnoooooooooooooo

But this is 6+. So last year's iPhone 5S 32GB price will be iPhone 6+ 16GB price. It will follow the same pattern. So, next in sequence would be 5S 128GB RM3149/849USD = 6+ 64GB RM3149/849USD

It would only be logical. I'm sorry early adopters, but you could have a 128GB storage space for less than what you pay now.

October 7, 2014 4:53 AM Apple Takes a Bite From Samsung

Samsung’s smartphone business is facing intense competition at the low-end from Chinese handset makers, and at the high-end from Apple's iPhone.
By AARON BACK

Samsung Electronics has gone from smartphone model to basket case. There could be worse to come.

Samsung said Tuesday its third-quarteroperating profit likely fell 58% to 62% from a year earlier, which was even worse than already low analyst expectations. It was the fourth quarter in a row of declining operating profit. A detailed breakdown won’t be available until Samsung releases full results, but the problem is clearly in the mobile division. Samsung said total smartphone shipments “increased marginally” in the period, but margins declined due to lower selling prices and higher marketing expenses.

Samsung’s smartphone business is facing intense competitive pressure at the low-end from Chinese handset makers, and at the high-end from the iPhone. With the iPhone 6, Appleessentially wiped out Samsung’s distinguishing feature: a big screen size. And with the jumbo iPhone 6 Plus, Apple has now entered into the “phablet” segment that Samsung pioneered.

The third quarter included just 12 days of iPhone 6 sales. Expect the impact on Samsung in the fourth quarter to be much bigger. Nomura analyst C.W. Chung says Samsung’s past few years of strong profitability in mobile devices were an anomaly, driven by Apple’s premium pricing, which supported margins across the sector.

But without essential differentiators like Apple’s, such as design cachet and a software ecosystem, Samsung is headed toward becoming a maker of commoditized hardware. Mr. Chung sees operating margins for handsets and tablets declining to 11% in 2016 from 21% in 2013.

A bright spot for Samsung is its components business, including memory and logic chips as well as displays. Analysts expect components to account for more than 40% of operating profits next year, compared with around 30% this year. Samsung underscored its focus on this area on Monday, when it announced plans to invest $14.7 billion building a new chip plant in South Korea.

Components are less sexy than smartphones, but they can still make money, especially when you are the technology and scale leader, as Samsung is in memory chips, says Mark Newman of Bernstein Research. But Samsung’s smartphone problems could blow back on the component business as well. The company’s smartphones are the biggest customers for its application processor chips and cutting-edge organic light emitting diode displays.

Ultimately, focusing more on components will only intensify the trend toward becoming a commoditized hardware maker. For that, investors have plenty of other choices.

there are people willing to pay premium price for "exclusive moment". For them, $$ not a problem.
no offense to early adopter.

comparing to apple store australia price for 5s and 6+ comparison,

5s 32gb = 6+ 16gb = aud999
5s 64gb = 6+ 64gb = aud1129

so my guess 6+ 128gb will cost between rm3500-3700, just guessing.
