Actually I kinda feel this is the first iPhone with a sensible pricing in a very long time. However, I think Apple kinda make it hard for people when they choose to stick with 1.2MP selfie cam.

I think it all down to pricing. First time ever iPhone below 2k... but if import back, could escalate to 6S pricing... laugh.gif

Actually if you have a old 5/5S, you'll wonder if the extra processing power is necessary for the resolution. The only thing that attract me is the pricing. However the question remains. Should I wait for the discounted 6S few months later.

Same here! Been using my 5 since Jan 2013. It looks almost brand new. Dropped a few times but while in it's case so it never scratched. Had to change the battery last year because it started swelling but I love the design so much that I refuse to get the 6 series.

You didn't check eligible for battery change or not? My wife 5 still rocking. At first battery keep fluctuating, but suddenly Apple announce free battery replacement program. Now back to normal. Performance also not much affected by ios update. Just camera super lacking.

iphone 6S 64GB
SG : SGD$ 1,218
MY : MYR 3,699

so if we try to correlate to

iphone SE 64GB
SG : SGD$ 828
MY : MYR 2,515 (calculated)

extra RM 500 than expected..
let's see how much is the actual cost later.

Yup, that is the single biggest problem right now.

Everywhere else but US seem to cost slightly more than the advertised USD399-499. HK also RM1.8K for 16gb which is not far off from SG pricing. Then you sort of add on scalpers profiteering, it is not that far off from 6S.

Don't see much of a change in design on the SE though. Pretty much looks like 5S a lot.  hmm.gif

Wow, if 5SE also need 2K, better wait for 7 and buy the discounted 6S.

I dont know why you are so paranoid...

If 5SE 64GB is 2.6K then just go ahead and get this instead.

Disappointing pricing... despite the strenghtening of ringgit to below 4, price still sky high.

Price of USD499 only in US, other country have different pricing.
HK after convert around USD552,
TW around USD601, SG around USD611, france around 669, etc.

It is relatively affordable, in my opinion. It costs less than iPhone 5 and 5S when they were launched back then with much more favorable currency rate. I think it was RM 2399 for 16GB.

With the sad currency rate now, it starts below 2k.

QUOTE(torreto @ Apr 6 2016, 01:42 PM)
Based on the review the battery life apparently better than iPhone 6s 🤔 Due to the lower screen resolution.

I dont really care...

Apple announced 399 then should stick with the pricing. I dont care about the battery life nor the features. Obviously it is just the same as 5/5S minus the faster SoC which is probably not going to be fully utilized due to the low resolution.

there is QCD Technology M Sdn Bhd at Berjaya Times Square
I understand that SG non telco set send to QCD Singapore

if not mistaken I have seen someone bring SG set go QCD @ Berjaya Times Square claim before, and is valid

you may dig further, I believe QCD could be SEA Apple Authorize Provider

QCD is quite good. I remembered when I had trouble charging my iphone5 due to burn marks on lightning cable, VR in Jalan Ampang request receipt from Maxis and refused to acknowledge.

When I went to QCD for ipad2 backlight bleeding claims, no need receipt. Then iphone5 battery recall also no need receipt.
