Is it so important that u have to reply three times?

P.S: I am admittedly sick of waiting for SE that nowadays the last thing I do before I sleep is to visit this thread for updates.

You can do it like me, purposely subscribe to this thread for daily digest. ahahaha!

Thailand selling cheaper than Malaysia haha !!!!!!!!!!!!! 16gig rm50 cheaper

Apparently DirectD has stock? hmmm

It's that time of the day again. Still not selling SE in Malaysia and yet news reports about falling sales on Apple products. Apple should fire their marketing department.

P.S.: A rant a day keeps my blues about Apple SE selling officially in Malaysia away

I really like this size but bad selfie camera and no force touch are really turn offs. I think even iPhone 6s the selfie Cam is narrow angle as well?

I heard high demand overseas for this phone

Even in some country, quite hard to get the SE.

Selfie camera 1,3m is more than enough use for instagram la.

Force touch? I enabled it, but I have yet to actually use it much

So, if budget's a concern, SE is the way to go.

If not, go knock yourself out and get a 6S or S+

In terms of numbers, our market is insignificant to Apple's sales revenue so I doubt releasing the SE in our market faster will boost up their sales figures.

Apple's falling revenues is expected seeing how the "S" upgrade for the iPhone 6 didn't bring any new innovations (I think many are not impressed by Force Touch, including myself). Well, 5 months or less to the launch of the 7.

They could always fire up the old 4S (Will that make it the 4 SE) if they really wanted market share that bad.

Heck, seems a lot of phone sellers are selling "refurbished" 4S phones these days, and although the warranty situation on those phones are not that clear, people are still buying it because of the price (ranges from 700-900).

Or is it because of the price?

Iphone oh iphone.. when are you arriving to malaysia 😆

I believe pricing is the issue.

Rising cost of living and etc to top off the current economy making the idea of spending 4199 for an iphone ridiculous.

If it's price at 2499, till today also still outta stock most probably

It's the price.

People want cheap and at 700 bucks and iOS 8, it's pretty decent compared to other available phone in the market.

i find it difficult to take group selfie and it performs badly in low light conditions

SE biggest attraction is small screen size, not budget

force touch is a attractive feature, just that you dont find it useful , you may have a look here http://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/iphone/11...stions-3626954/

Don't really agree on that part. RM700 could get a lot better phone these days.

Yes, if you don't need iOS, then any midrange Android at RM700 is a far better buy than a 4S or 5 even.

I remember when the resellers had MYR500 off the retail prices a couple of months ago and the phones were flying off the shelf at a faster rate, so in our market it's definitely the price, for sure. But in the bigger picture Apple has failed to come up with a truly innovative product since Steve's passing, so the momentum that they built throughout the years are coming to an end. If the next reiteration of iOS and iPhones doesn't arrest the decline then I'm sure Tim and his management team will feel the pressure.

Again, due to pricing, it's higher in our market.

But in US, most of my friends who were into budget phones are now getting SE instead since the deal with Telco is cheap and they are getting a pretty decent device in return.

Heck, 399 usd is cheap in US.

And as I said, If i were coming from iPhone 6+ range, I will not upgrade to 6S+ for the mere force touch.

There are uses, yes. But it's not practical in my daily life.

Nah, tried buying my old man some mid range android, nearly pulled my hair out teaching them how to use it.

Bought them a 5, works smoothly and almost zero learning curve.

Guess it's up to preferences.

Tbh, not really bothered. I know what i signed up for in Apple ecosystem.

My last iphone 5 lasted me 3,5 years. My longest service HTC could only go up to 2 years before finally giving up

Well, Old Man, maybe. Things are changing though.

The best seller I see among my phone selling friends happens to be the Asus Ze550KL. Big screen, battery that lasted for quite some time when playing games, OK chipset make it very popular with teens and parent of teens who are not going to spend RM2K Plus for a phone. This age group, they are more likely to experiment with different launchers and tech.

Those kids, landing in Android will more likely end up getting high end Androids. iOS may hold no interest to them, unlike many of those who bought the original iPhone.

Partly I suspect that is also why the SE is selling so well. Tons of people on 4s, 5, 5c or 5s that either couldn't afford the 6s or more likely didn't want a bigger phone.

Up to date, both OS still have their flaws and advantages.

End of the day, you need to understand what you are getting.

One man's meat maybe poisonous to others.
