Think will go down as prior of year 2014 without gst in place price for apple product is relatively low (RM2399 for 16gb iPhone 6).
Anyway just bought a MBP 13 TB 256gb few days ago only...sad liew

But they will reintroduce the Sales Tax which if not mistaken was at 10%?

For electronic product I dont think so Anyway see how it goes, the price maintain or not doesnt matter anymore haha money also spent liew

Haha, yeah, exactly. I’m still on the fence whether to buy my 2018 iPad now or later though.

Please put it on hold, wait 100 days (max) and see how it goes

Haha... i'm also considering to get an iPhone... but 3 months is too long to hold... haish...

But one thing that i always thought is... even the new govt have waived the GST, then i dont think the price will drop since the RRP already included (absorb) the GST...

for example the price of iPhone X 256GB is RM5899... So the new price will be RM5899 - 6% = RM5545.06, am i rite?

As for telco price, it is clear and understood on the prices they quoted are exclusive of 6% GST... so they dont have to revise the price. The only thing is just no need to add the 6% during the checkout...

I think the way they calculate it will be slightly different, and it probably won't be as simple as just -6%. Well, lets see

No familiar with Sales tax here but it will replace GST right? So effectively, it would be more expensive? 10% vs 6%?

Yeah, this is my current plan now, for the iPad 2018, although the several visits to Harvey had me interested in the MacBook Pro too.

Haha.
We are on the same boat!
Since iPad 2018 has just been released, I’m pretty sure stock level should still be healthy, even after 100 days.
I will just wait for then.
It’s not like my iPad 2 is broken or anything of that sort.

I couldn’t find any stocks at SenQ 1U yesterday, was hoping to get another year extended warranty free, hehe

This just in folks

GST will be Zero-rated in June!

Apple does not revise the price so often. Only once a year. Even if there is any changes in price due to no GST. It may takes a while before it is effective.

Yeah, possibly in September, after the new iPhone announcement.

What interests me though, is once the GST is zero-rated, the price of everything should no longer reflect the 6% we see in the tax invoice so by default, wouldn’t most things be automatically cheaper?

yes, by rite, it is.

because before GST implemented, bolehland apple products can be cheaper as high as SGD80+ comparing to lion city.

there were one period buying macbook in bolehland is so much cheaper than lion city.

few years back, due to the weakning of MYR, apple revised price 3 times in a year.
two times becos of currency, one time becos of GST.

that's the reason why bolehland price is now higher or same as lion city.

Ya, exactly that. Lets see if the prices get revised come June 1st

Woohooo.

If the price did not go down, I'll be crying...

Well, the poll seems pretty split down to the middle between prices will drop or remain the same. Another week to go before we find out

Waiting to grab imac 5K i7 with good price

Really? Haha.. I’m just waiting for the iPad 2018

If prices reduced ....yahoo great

So many uncertainties with the government's decision. It is difficult to take away the livelyhood of the government when your pockets are thin. Probably after sometime as and when its recovered. Yes, but it does take time though.

Just have to work harder to get more RM in order to what ones desires.

Yeah, but this "tax holiday" window between the abolishment of GST and before the reintroduction of SST is a good time to purchase big value items, like an iMac Pro - or a car

Roughly RM 340 lesser for MacBook Pro too. Yayyers!

But lets wait for WWDC to see what are they going announce.

confirm price drop. no overcharge of gst as profit

Some prices of accessories dropped as well, e.g. Apple Pencil, (was RM419, now RM395) but some accessories remain at the same price, e.g. Lightning to USB cables (was RM89 is RM89).

Edit: Just checked, USB to Lightning cables price down too, was RM89, is RM83.

Price without GST for MacBook is still same price as lion city with 7% GST. Not exactly cheaper seriously.

Price without GST for MacBook is still same price as lion city with 7% GST. Not exactly cheaper seriously.

Buy at Changi and get the 7% GST waived. Cheaper already

yup, even with GST is cheaper, without GST at airport, it is even cheaper than bolehland (even now without 6% GST).

I bought my 2018 iPad in Australia 2 months ago which has a 10% GST at Apple staff price. After claiming GST from airport, I ended up saving over RM400 as compared to Malaysian price minus 6% GST. Had GST not abolished I saved up to RM560.

Staff price not counted ler

First Page Updated with New Prices. Enjoy all!

Is time to go shopping~~!!

Yes it is

anyone know what is the "agak agak" price after SST later this year?

I want to buy a new MacBook but the latest WWDC sucks. No hardware at all. I might wait for few months.

I'm guessing up by 5-7%?

got your ipad attw?

Yes, I did

RM2263 for 128GB WiFi and Cellular.

oo nice, help me justify the need of cellular vs wifi only version ipad. wanna cancel wifi only order for cellular version.

The reason I went with Cellular rather than WiFi only: -

1. Cellular models have GPS, sometimes I use Waze on my iPad
2. Cellular models have slightly better resale value
3. I’m too lazy to switch on hotspot

I doubt those are good enough reasons to justify spending another 500 bucks though

Good thing for cellular version of iPad is that if go overseas and u buy a data Sim u can use it as a hotspot for ur mobile phone and other devices. This is good if one does not have a mifi device etc.

Wow new thread by TS.... Congrats.


Whats the price of the coming Iphone XI ?

This post has been edited by TOMEI-R: Jun 7 2018, 05:22 PM

pretty much good enough if those are really important. this is my first ipad, so I'm not sure if I will go for cellular or not. 500 is ok to spend for such benefit imo.

good for frequent traveller.

Old one la, haha..

No crystal ball, so can’t predict your iPhone XI price, haha...
