1. are you in any urgency to upgrade? current phone cannot use anymore?  Want to sell off current phone before value drops further? Then , go for Iphone 7.

2. If no urgency to upgrade, but would like the current iphone 8 feature, WAIT for another 12 months.

3. If money not a problem, then go for iphone 8

That's very true... But I feel like daddy chat with me now

What do u think about 8, is this worth for upgrade from 7 to 8?
Haha I can't get the right answer for myself

Lol just get it.. when u put casing u can't tell the difference.
The phone needs casing trust me, else it feels scary each time pull out from pocket
It's perfect with a casing else phone can't rest flat on the table with screen up cause of the camera bump..

All the Augmented reality stuff that Apple is planning can be done with 7 as well..

I believe it has a lot to do with currency exchange rates as well as taxes.

Lets look at the current base model for iPhone 7 Plus (32GB).

US - USD 669 (not including taxes)
Malaysia - USD 799 or RM3,349 (inclusive 6% GST)
Singapore - USD 808 or SGD$1,088 (inclusive 7% GST)

So in terms of pricing in the region, we're not very far off. Of course, you can't compare to the US.
*
Even 799 add gst only 48
847
50 usd the most only 230
If we buy from online store
They locate in Singapore
Doubt need to pay GST
Even pay gst but price tag is not match
iPhone exchange rate roughly 5
In directly charge for DHL shipping if we buy from online store Malaysia

For one, you can't buy from a country specific Apple website unless you have a credit card and a delivery address in that said country. Also tax structures could be different as there could also be import taxes imposed in different countries.

Just pre-ordered 8 plus via Singtel SG.

Decided to skip X since the tech is new and the front camera will crop out a small portion of the video.

iPhone should be X onwards imo. Maybe XS for next year. 9 is no more because seven ate nine.

Besides it will be damn weird to have 9 next year.

Unless you're Sony whom got entirely confused on their own phone naming system.
