I wonder why such big difference in terms of pricing in US and SG?

SG 7plus 128GB cost about RM4.2k after converted while US 7plus 128gb cost $849 which converts to about RM3442.

US iPhones are all locked set?

It's also cheaper in Hong Kong by about 400 myr compared to Singapore.

Makes me think twice abt ordering from Sg tonight...

Based on usd price of 6s vs myr price of 6s, Apple uses a conversion rate of 4.92!

For ipad pro, conversion is lower at 4.5.

Im trying to see if buying from Singapore will not be significantly more expensive than buying in Malaysia.

Coz as it is, US is the cheapest. And HK is also cheaper than Singapore!

Really not sure if I wanna order from SG tonight...

Hmmmmmmmm

i just did a bet with a friend for one kfc bucket.

Based on their current 6s price... It's 1048sgd = 3152myr

Its 3199 myr here.

So safe to say it will be same pricing conversion for the 7?

Issue now is...

Early adopter but possibly pay higher + warranty issue

Vs

Possible early Malaysia launch hence paying premium for being an early adopter nullifies the fun.

Vs

Late launch in Malaysia and price almost the same as SG hence being an early adopter is so super worth it.

Hahaha. First world problems.

My next question is to shipped iphone on 16th september. is it safe to say it will arrive on 17th or 18th? or it will arrive on the day itself... 16th?
*
No idea... 16 is a Friday. They might ship earlier so it reaches u on 16th since it's a pre order

yeah, right now USD to MYR is getting better, around 4.0
and not only iPhone get price cut, iPad also getting as well eventhough don't have new model (instead got new 32gb storage option for certain iPad)
so let's hope we get cheaper or same price as last year 6S price
since the price should not have huge difference between current generation iPhone and last year iPhone biggrin.gif
*
If it's same price as last year means sg prices are about the same too.

Means hk and US MUCH cheaper... If u r flying there la.

Since we were on this topic, I just remembered why I upgraded from 6 Plus to 6S Plus even though I said I wouldn't - because after the price adjustments by Apple I actually made a profit by selling off my older 6 Plus in GS and only had to pay a couple of hundred more for the 6S Plus by signing a Telco contract, ha ha ha...

Same here!

Yup, the pretty sounds right to me. I did a quick price comparison between few major countries and all came back within those brackets (+-)

Just called gemfive. The guy said there are two info now...

1) Apple launch is 14 of October. They are trying to get stocks in to ship to pre-orders

2) the eta by gemfive is end of October so all pre order are still expected to receive by end of October unless point 1) above materializes.

So conclusion is... Chill and wait.
