Hello all,

After Apple Keynote last nite, I'm wondering when usually those new items will arrive at Malaysia, for example ipad air 2 ? Thank you in advance

3 months more or less (if lucky)

The new iPad Mini 3 ain't worth it. Same specs as last year's iPad Mini 2 but with gold and TouchID, both useless features.

iPad Air 2 maybe worth looking at but only if it has 2GB RAM. If still 1GB, move on.

Can buy already online Malaysia Apple store. Free shipping.

But remember Red Friday in another 4 months....

That's the old version.. new ones we won't get so soon. Case in point - iPhone 6...

2 months if we're lucky, 3 if we're not

But my guess is we won't have to wait so long as iPads traditionally don't sell as welll as iPhones so there should be enough supply to go around

Yeah i just realized it, but now we can buy iMac 5k and new macmini online already. 3 business day delivery & free shipping

it seems like apple wanted to install the touch id on the iPad mini to enable pay and they don't really want to call it iPad mini 2 updated. In a way, if you were planning to buy an iPad mini, you can spend the same amount of money you initially wanted to spend before on an iPad mini with pay enabled, plus you get the gold option. If you can't be arsed about those features, then you saved $100.

The question is whether the $100 savings will translate to a savings of RM320 by our local resellers? If history is any indication, then it's not gonna be that much.

i missed the keynote last nite, what else they announce beside ipad?
how about macbook?

iPad Mini 2 is already going from RM969 online. I'm considering getting the 32GB model.

Hmm, better wait for Red Friday then hihi

Nice... iPad Air cellular 32GB now starts at 18xx peviously at 23xx

Rumor said it will run yosemite but no. So Disappointed

You are disappointed that it doesnt run on osX when the 12.9in iPad dont even exist yet ???

Yeah

buy buy buy.... must buy Apple now.


/resist the temptation to gadget lust.

depending on their local stock.

mac can purchase instantly (online only, authorise store need to wait), other than mac, need to wait.

Apple Pay still requires NFC unfortunately.

You can purchase stuff online with apple pay

Hmm, after do some research, i noticed, between ipad mini 3 vs ipad mini 2 not so much different >.< hmm, which one should i choose

mini 3 is just mini 2 with touch ID and a gold option. Since the price of mini 3 is the same as the original price of the mini 2, I'd say go for the mini 3. But if you don't mind not having the touch ID for Apple pay and other touch id features, go for the mini 2 since its cheaper

hmmm, i'm confuse now which one to choose >.< mini 3 still late to arrive at malaysia lol

I'm excited for apple pay so I'd go for mini 3

Will not be practical to most of the Malaysian users.
Not even 20% of the retail stores in Malaysia have implemented PayWave for credit cards.
Talking about Apple Pay? Dream on.
Online shopping?
Most of the buyers shop in websites such as Forum lowyat, lelong and mudah which involves COD and Banking in because the seller are not registered to do business.
No Malaysians in their right mind will shop in official online stores except for apple and xiaomi which xiaomi doesnt even have an app to implement the Apple Pay's API. Apple's online store app does, but how often do you purchase a new device?
Basically, I believe most of us here only use it for unlocking their device and installing paid apps, thats about it. Enough said, iPad Mini 2 is still a wiser choice since it has the same specs.

You can use apple pay on pretty much any websites that requires you to use credit card to purchase. I know quite a lot of people who buys clothes and gadgets online. They can use apple pay for that. And lets be honest. How many of us actually upgrade our iPads every year? I'm still using iPad 4 and I'm not planning to upgrade it as much as I want to upgrade my iPhone. Hence, if you think you don't need a touch ID on your iPad mini for the next few years when apple pay is maybe as relevant in malaysia as it is in the USA atm, then be my guest. Save yourself a few hundreds for the mini 2.

Look at the mini 3 as mini 2 + touch ID. same price as the mini 2 before the release of mini 3 but with touch ID and an added gold option.

The API is implemented for websites as well? (Safari only of course)
Well, I stand my point here, I would choose iPad Air 2 than iPad Mini 3 any day because I could actually see an hardware improvement.

its like the keychain access in OS X. instead of filling up your credit card details you can access your passbook and validate it with touch ID. yea definitely Air 2 instead of mini 3. I'm saying that i'd choose the mini 3 instead of the mini 2 just coz of the added feature

You have a strong point here..that why i'm still confuse to get ipad mini 3 or ipad mini 2, since i don't even care about that "Apple Pay"..my focus is on ipad mini for portable purpose

OK, I'd choose Mini 3 if its RM999

Mini 2 then.Unless you insists on getting Gold version. Then I'm speechless.

LoL at Gold version i don't even care about the gold, space gray ftw

Yep! I personally prefer space gray over any other fancy colour!

hope mini 2 still worth to buy

Get for 899!
Hint: Education

I need to order online then ?

yes!
Grab your iPad at a discounted price here!

Is Red Friday sale cheaper than edu pricing?

This... I'm not sure.
Well RM899 for Mini 3 certainly is a great bargain already!

I'm just noticed, the processor use at iPad Mini 3 is same at iPad mini 2 LoL..so the major change in ipad mini 3 is just the fingerprint..Omg...better go ipad mini 2, save more money LoL
