I guess majority failed to understand the fact that majority of the demographics in Malaysia is the B40 group - mobile phones are not essential ‘needs’ therefore it doesn’t require them to splurge as much when affordable ones are easily and readily available in the market.
It doesn’t really matter if the penetration statistics for iPhone is lower than most countries - there’s so much more choices (entry level) here in Malaysia compared to America / Europe.

QUOTE(mikiejones @ Nov 23 2020, 11:50 PM) Now, you can get an iPhone for a little more than RM1k for the older models. Not many people know about that. So... with that little bit of RM1k, you can expect to use the phone for around 4 years. That's a good bargain.  Not many can even afford a RM1k phone. The phone price range that sells the highest volume here in Malaysia is between the RM300-RM400 range.

Yup, until everyone does something for the nation (a completely different topic altogether) it will never happen. In the meantime back to the topic, whilst iPhones may get cheaper as well as 2nd hand and pre-loved units are available, most folks here in Malaysia are also used to the Android ecosystem so the pain of migrating across (especially for the non-techies) is real.

Well... I guess Malaysia will never be an Apple nation. I will accept it. And that Apple Credit Card, Apple Pay, Apple News and Apple Fitness Plus.... AND HomePod Mini may never make it to our shores. I can decide to go to America to live in. Better yet, live in Apple Park. I get everything Apple there. FREE maybe????

QUOTE(mikiejones @ Nov 18 2020, 12:09 AM) Apple phones still last longer than Android phones. There apps are supposedly better than Android. I am a writer and I have apps to write that is not on the Android platform. It all boils down to function. For photographers, music creators, and filmmakers, Apple iPhones are still far superior. But how many of us are in these categories anyway?  Yes, iphone takes pictures very well, unlike some Samsung phones using Android operating system, I personally like to use iphone because of its high security.

One thing that bugged me while converting to iPhone is the lack of official support for chat transfer from Android to iOS

One of the top reasons people getting an iPhone is iMessage which is not really popular here in Malaysia.

Anyway... iPhone versus Android is a no fight in Malaysia. You come in with your iPhone, you get attacked alive.
