I found Apple is unfairly charge high in iPhone

iPad Pro 12.9" Wi-Fi sold USD 799 in US Store
https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-ipad/ipad-pro

SGD 1188 in Singapore Store
https://www.apple.com/sg/shop/buy-ipad/ipad...space-grey-wifi

RM 3499 in Malaysia Store
https://www.apple.com/my/shop/buy-ipad/ipad...space-gray-wifi

But iPhone 8 Plus price 799 in US Store
https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-iphone/iphone-8

Singapore store is sell SGD 1308
https://www.apple.com/sg/shop/buy-iphone/iphone-8

SGD 120 extra

I think Malaysia will be either RM 3999 or RM 4099

Unfair price tag!

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.

why it does not apply on iPad Pro 12.9" ?

I put both reservation in Digi and Celcom store but haven’t got any call back. They told me need to wait 3 weeks.

Decided to buy online from Celcom, supposed to shipped out within 2-3 days but status still “in progress” after 3 days. If they don’t have stock, should put it in website as sold out like Digi.

digi one is for store
digi online one nobody know
i ordered 1 today and still pending to delivery
they havent update the consignment note
hope tomorrow will get it
