"At this time", I guess its because MY have not launched the XS yet?

"At this time" could also mean because we don't have an official Apple Store yet laugh.gif

Apple claims 98% CSAT, so I think if the resellers here deny you a warranty claim, an email to Apple should help, especially after spending over RM5k on the phone.

true that, but anything could happen here... especially resellers tend to reject anything out of the norm..... #bolehland

Ya, just that extra bit of effort to contact Apple MY might be a bit troublesome for some people.

Cant blame the AASPs too. They are only Apple Authorized Resellers and Service centers. If everybody buys overseas sets and be able claim their overseas sets here, there is no point in them investing and opening their showrooms and service centers here. Its a totally different situation in Singapore and Hong Kong as Apple has their own stores and service centers there.

AASPs here also need to compete with Lazada these days biggrin.gif

Don't understand why Malaysia always is slower than the neighbour countries

We're more of a Samsung land... Not only do we get their latest and greatest fast over here, they even have their global unpacked event here in MY

How's that for some love? smile.gif

wow T&L gold is complete sold out, both 64gb and 256gb. why not silver since u already used grey before.

edit: yeah the gold is really classy this time. i always go for black/dark color when i buy a phone, even the last ipX i had was grey. this time i pick the gold without a doubt
*
I had a gold 8 Plus and to be honest, while the color was nice to look at in the beginning, the novelty faded within a month and I found myself yearning for the classic Space Grey instead laugh.gif

Isn't the price standard as per RRP as the retailer at Changi is an AASP?
*
QUOTE(yewfatt @ Sep 21 2018, 06:21 PM)
Changi got tax deduction about 5% gst.
*
I think if you buy at the retailer (iStudio) at Changi Airport itself, the phone is tax exempt so it's minus 7% directly

is it confirmed?

how about if i fly to singapore and buy from apple store, can i claim gst at airport?
*
Yes. If you fly into Singapore, buy at the Apple Store and fly out, you can claim the GST refund, but it won't be the full 7%, there'll be a 1% to 2% processing fee charged. Where else if you buy from the airport, the item is already tax free.

That's right, there's both the prices displayed. I converted and price was about the same as HK (minus the long queue too).

Yeah, the HKD has strengthened compared to a year ago.

Wow much cheaper then than TL at only RM5,019 rough conversion with 7% discount for the max 64gb. Great, will get one from the airport then since I’m heading there coming Friday  tongue.gif

Unfortunately that's not how they calculate it.

Phone is SGD1799, but tax is SGD118, so it's 1799-118 = SGD1681, and given current rate of 3.02 = RM5076... Oh well, close enough smile.gif

Bear in mind though, if you swipe your credit card, the bank rates would be a different animal.

Malaysia should launching very soon. 3 devices approved by Sirim on 21 Sept

Yes, I noticed it too. Strangely enough the XS (model no. A2097) is listed as having 1 SIM, 1 IMEI. Hopefully it’s just a typo laugh.gif

Ya, the other two models are listed as 2 SIM, 2 IMEI. Could be a typo, I guess.
