I found out that one of the apple stores is selling an open box device which is Rm400++ cheaper than the retailed original price. Is it okay to buy it? Is opened box device a new device or a refurbished device?

They said open box may mean it has opened by customer but then customer has changed his/her mind or similar reasons. They didn't say it's refurbished one that's why I don't know should I buy it and is that ok to buy sigh

Yup. New devices are like that. But this is an opened box unit so they sell it with slighty lower price. wouldn't think of buying it if other stores got stock for Gold iPhone 6 plus Sigh sigh sigh

Maybe the customer found a small dent or scratch or screen issue etc...
