QUOTE(tsg_7 @ Aug 4 2018, 01:02 PM) Well, this phone is for my wife use. So she prefer 1 handed phone. Thats y 4.7" is max for her i think. 2018 iphone will starts with 5.5". So a little too big for her. Hence, i7 or i8. Actually the iPhone X is not that much bigger compared to the iPhone 7 or 8 in terms of dimensions, and does work one-handed quite well. The price, of course, is another story

Dear guys, I'm hoping to get some feedback and opinion here on buying a new phone.
I'm planning to get either Iphone 8 (256GB) - RM2,180 or 8 Plus (64GB) - RM2,615 under Maxis One plan.
But currently undecided whether should I buy it during this last month of GST zero period or should i just wait for the new launch of the Iphone which expected to launch next month?
With the launch of new Iphone. Do you think that the Iphone 8 or Iphone 8 Plus price would drop much with the consideration of SST kicking in too?
Thanks

Thanks Even if there is a price cut after the new phones are launched, the price you get with a Telco subsidy is still much lower. So if you need the phone, just go ahead and get it. If you're not in a hurry, then by all means do wait. Even if there is a 6% tax, the drop in price could be more than 6%.

Thanks for the feedback. I think i would wait till they launch the new iphone before deciding whether to get iphone 8 or other model.

Samsung has showed it's hand, and I must say the price and pre-order offer is rather compelling. Let's see what Apple has in store.
