With the current SGD to MYR at around 2.9. My prediction is that the 64GB one will sell in Malaysia for around 2.4k to 2.6k.

On the other hand, below 2k is not possible. We'd be lucky if we get anything below 2.4k.

I, on the other hand, plan to buy from US which at the rate of 4 to 1, should be around 2k.

Just make sure the LTE can use with our telcos LTE.

Actually, my brother in-law called me and said the only version available unlocked in the US is the Model A1662, which is compatible with LTE band 3 but not compatible with band  7. The situation is a bit different from the 6 and 6s, where the US unlocked model could be used by with all the relevant bands for Malaysia and Singapore telcos (3, 7 and 8). After doing some reading (here and here), I decided not to take the chance. Will just pickup a Model A1723 SE from Singapore next month. Must pay more, but at least I'll get easy warranty coverage (the SE is for my mum who lives in J.B, I live in Singapore) if anything goes wrong.

Your BIL is absolutely correct on the LTE band. Buy and use here, become a 3G phone.

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

When will they launch the 7? Next year?

Going to HK next month. Maybe I will buy another unit there too.

Based on the Malaysian pricing for the SE, if you take RM1949/USD399, you find that Apple is using a conversion rate of 4.88 as compared to the actual 3.88 we are having now. I think it's quite expensive in my opinion.

As for the price difference between 16GB and 64GB, it's USD100 in the US and it's RM400 diff here. So more or less correct on that one.

Did you factor in the taxes? Import tax, Excise Duty, GST, etc.....

but should know that we would never fight against telcos, they are always winning.... XDD brows.gif
Like Maxis One Plan, we stick to 2 years and gets a 4G phone....
Celcom offers a Iphoe SE plan with Rm188 ,2 years also... bangwall.gif  bangwall.gif

If there are new packages that are cheaper and with more data, you cannot change to.
Some people don't want to be locked so they can change to the better package.
Some people don't care.

Sifu sifu.. what is the difference between imported set vs malaysia set. I am seeing so many different versions of iPhone SE online. I plan to COD with seller though. Apart from Apple ID lock? How to see whether it is malaysia or imported set?
*
As long as you get the SE model A1723, you are ok to go with Malaysian Telcos.
SE model A1662 doesn't support LTE band 7, thus you cannot get 4G/LTE with local telcos. But you can still get 3G.
Other SE models I am not sure. You have to find out yourself.

They only offer 16gb version right ? For 1669. 16gb seriously not enough.
*
I did not click to check.
I thought it was for 32GB models.
16GB before discount selling for RM1949 is not worth.

As stated by other forumers above, US sells A1662 model mainly.
US has another model however, A1723, which is same with model here, but only with Sprint telco.
You can choose to buy this Sprint version from Apple website, but you need to provide Sprint number and details. 
You can go to Apple Store and tell them you want Sprint version though.
*
Does the Sprint version have problem with the gps if use in Malaysia?

I'm not sure about that, but since it's the exact same model with Malaysia's SE, I think high chance it's fine.
I personally using SE that I bought in Taiwan, which is also A1723, everything (LTE, GPS) works fine.

Good info. Thanks.

Alternatively, why don't you advise him to stay on IOS 11 for a few days? Let the phone finish indexing its contents on IOS 11.

I like 4" because of the size of the phone, very handy

I dislike 4" because of the size of the screen, too small for gaming

Quite contradicting.. hehe... if the rumor is true, SE2 will have bigger screen while maintaining the size then would be good.

The bigger screen of the iPhone SE was the iPhone 6S.
The bigger screen of the iPhone SE2 is the iPhone 8. biggrin.gif

No reason, just said need to pay RM7xx to replace the screen..
then i just go for 3rd party solution.. which just cost me no more than RM200.

i think switch apple dont want to care your phone etc.. they want u to change new phone .
this is my first iphone.. now i already know the warranty mean.. hahahaha..
u buy the new phone also like no warranty at all..  better buy for 2nd hand iphone..
warranty is bullshit for apple product
*
If your internal screen cracked, they suspected you dropped the phone.
That was why warranty became void.
Very unlucky to get a screen cracked out of a sudden.
I feel your pain.
