QUOTE(JustcallmeLarry @ Aug 14 2018, 01:37 PM) lol but among the 3 new releases coming, the LCD display iphone is labelled as a cheap phone. So cheap phone is already consider rm3.5k now? lol Maybe i can say that average RM3.5K for flagship is lower spec and higher spec of coz cost you more. Like recent Note9 release cost you from RM3,699.00. So with bigger storage of course charge you more. Unless you wanna take the free Samseng Smart Watch into consideration then you may think the phone cost you much lesser. But thats during pre-order package only. |

QUOTE(tsg_7 @ Aug 14 2018, 12:05 PM) Is iphone 8 RM3.5k refer to 64GB? Anyway, i agree with @attw, with the new tax system, our weak currency and also, do u see nowadays flagship phone price starts with RM2xxx.xx? Lol. Hardly. Don't think mobile phones will get the SST tax |

Import tax has always been there. Even during GST. But phones will not get SST, unless Foxconn builds a factory here and locally manufacture iPhones. |

When is the next iPhone expected to launch? I ordered an iPhone 8 plus from AEON but if it's another 2 months probably will wait for it.

I think last year was an exception because iPhone 8/8 Plus was not much different from previous generations hence many people in the tier 1 and tier 2 countries didn't upgrade hence Malaysia got the phones a little quicker since Apple had ample stocks. The iPhone X on the other hand didn't make it here till end November. Based on the new designs of the upcoming generation, I would predict November/December before it gets to Malaysia. |

I don't get you, ordered means you have already bought? If yes why this question. iPhone 8 will be the last of touch ID. That's the only thing you should consider. |

That's the only thing you should consider. I guess order can be cancelled since there is no deposit collected. As for touch ID, you will never know if Apple will be coming out with "on-screen touch ID" , rumors spread that some patent registration has been on going regarding this. |

Do u guys think it's worth it to take advantage of the changing battery promo by end of this year, even though it's at 98% health?
