Hmm the official prices are crazy af.
But does anyone remember what happened with the iPhone 7 last year? Or earlier this year. There was a massive price cut some time after it was released.

There was a massive price cut some time after it was released. Same thought here. Right after iPhone 8 announced, all iPhones prices revised, the conversion for all iPhone from SE to 7+ is USD to MYR 5.0. Now iPhone 8 is at 5.2, what the hack has happened? Our MYR currency version strong now at 4.2X even with GST and SIRIM there is nothing here there. Something wrong with this. That's bad news for iPhone X buyers as well.

To whoever going for 256gb. Topping up rm750 difference. Why not just subscribe iCloud Storage 200gb for rm11.90?
Let say subscribed rm288 for two years. you saved rm462 and *touch wood* phone lost your photos and doc is not gone.
*just saying*

Let say subscribed rm288 for two years. you saved rm462 and *touch wood* phone lost your photos and doc is not gone. *just saying* iCloud needs data ma, how can the speed comparable with flash memory speed, 50x to 100x speed different friend. I have a case for my friend is he upgraded his iPhone 7 icloud storarge, ended up all his photos gone at iCloud and iPhone, almost cried. Luckily he still have some backup in PC. Ya it sounded RM750 is big deal but that's 4x storage, for the phone you are paying, that's worth. Not to mention you may sell at least RM500 higher for 256GB phone compare to 64GB if you were to sell it after a year. I have an iPad Pro 256GB, so happy with the storage, all the video recording each >1GB still no concern, 60fps is so so smooth and enjoy watching, something you may struggle with 64GB and iCloud. Just sharing my experience, unless you don't take video and minimum photos.

QUOTE(redspothand @ Oct 13 2017, 08:59 AM) GST, Sirim, Tax and they mark up a bit the prices. That's why it's expensive 8 Plus is $799 = RM4149 Note 8 is $930 = RM3999 it doesn't make any sense, at all!

QUOTE(Hinoarashi9 @ Oct 13 2017, 12:13 PM) I find that android is generally not worth paying above 3k for since the next gen is usually packed with a lot of new stuff that the old one just looks paltry in comparison.
