When is iPhone 8 plus coming to Malaysia?
Pre-order on Apple Malaysia is not available yet

Eta sometime in october

Hi... I'm in US at the moment, thinking of picking up the iPhone 8 plus. Apart from potential warranty issues, would there be any other downside to getting the phone here?... Even at the 4.2 exchange rate, it'll be much cheaper than the launch price back in Malaysia... Thanks in advance for your inputs...

Can try to ask in Apple outlet.
Don't try to get from any telcos , if they lock then gg

iPhone is the only Apple line of product that may has warranty restricted to the country of original purchase, that's according to Apple's warranty cause. That meant they may refuse when it comes to warranty claim so no ones know for a certain. The best way is to call Apple help line, or Apple store manager and ask them to put that in your profile where you brought the product.

Unless it's iPhone X, i won't get the 8 considering the exchange rate, u still have to put up ~1.5-3% more on top of forex rate to your CC company. I don't think the 8 would be short in stock.

Hi wanna know if iPhone 8 Hong Kong set can claim warranty in Malaysia ? Thanks

It is up to you but if you happen to be in the US again when X comes out totally buy. As for warranty issues, our AASP will reject outright but if you call Apple support and explain to them that you buy as a tourist I don't think you will have any problem.

Last time I went to service my iPhone 6 Plus, the center told me they can only order a replacement iPhone that has the same model number as iPhones sold in Malaysia.

That means you should buy iPhones with an Intel modem inside, aka the T-Mobile or AT&T version. And only buy them from an Store at full retail price. Buy anywhere else, and it might be carrier-locked.

Do note that some other people have successfully claimed warranty for overseas models, but I think that they called Apple Support first (which may be able to override any policies restricting the service provider).

Iphone 7 is transition product much like the iPad Pro 9.7 inch.

Iphone 8 and 8+ should still have marker for those who cannot afford iphone x. I think Apple has thought through this.

If they solely launch one iphone x, they will lose the mid and low tier market.

Go for plus anytime.

Don't think the 8 and 8 Plus target the low or mid-tier market either, well at least not in Malaysia

the Low or mid tier refers to apple's standard, not bolehland standard.

Technically, you can't buy carrier-locked phones as a foreigner in Trump Land. It required yearly contract for a new customer that you can't qualify or existing carrier account that you don't have. The only option is get the unlock version straight from Apple store.

If u can afford 8+, u can afford X.

anyone looking for the ip8 + instead of ip x? I find the ip8 is even more gorgeous without the antenna lines, also now a clean and sleek design. Ip x with the "iBrows" is kinda annoying to me. Plus using face id feel even more insecure to me

Bolehland economy good ma ..4k ringgit for a phone no problem for citizens of bolehland

iPhone 8 Plus vs 7 Plus DROP Test!

My order of iP8+ is on the way while waiting for X, I'll just use this for the meantime.
The notch and no touch ID, you will have to adapt as that's what Apple always do.

iPhone 4, lose connection of coverage - Apple said you hold it wrong
No headphone jack - learn to adapt, it's the future
No fingerprint reader/touch id - learn to adapt, it's the future
Notch ? - Just adapt it for now, next gen will be no notch

Knowing Apple, you have to adapt everything
