QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Sep 21 2018, 06:19 PM) 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% directlyhttps://www.istudiosg.com/save-more-istudio |

QUOTE(cHaRsIeWpAu^^ @ Sep 21 2018, 06:46 PM) is it confirmed? 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.how about if i fly to singapore and buy from apple store, can i claim gst at airport? |

QUOTE(StarPrimo @ Sep 20 2018, 04:17 PM) Why choose SG set over the HK set with the double nano SIM card phone ? I've never used 2 SIMs in the past and I don't plan to use it in the future. |

QUOTE(zerohunter @ Sep 21 2018, 04:14 PM) wow T&L gold is complete sold out, both 64gb and 256gb. why not silver since u already used grey before. I got the 3rd last unit in Gold. Upgrading from 6s Plus Gold Hehe.. Anyway, Shopback gave a RM100 cash back after I completed the transaction. So yeah, I think 11street gave a better deal now, as can also use Bcard points.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 |

Great, will get one from the airport then since I’m heading there coming Friday 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  Bear in mind though, if you swipe your credit card, the bank rates would be a different animal.

True bout cc rates but doubt it’s higher than the diff of RM200-300 compared to TL and GoMobile price Phone is SGD1799, but tax is SGD118, so it's 1799-118 = SGD1681, and given current rate of 3.02 = RM5076...
