your pricing comparison should be not during launch day, usually maxis dont allow MOP98 during launch, it allow only later after few months

only MOP128 or above during launch day for many past years experience

cos normally those ppl can claim company for those telco plan....

so indirectly, the company is paying for the plan and you are buying the device cheaper.

so i'm also still waiting for telco plan and probably gonna wait until january only get it (tax planning).

Yeah, the pricing is taken from current store prices. Noticed got a bit of discrepancy compared to the image upload earlier.

If you are already on the cheapest plan on your telco, for example Rm48/month on Maxis, then it makes no sense to buy from Maxis as they will "upgrade" your plan to minimum MOP 128 with the Iphone package. Difference per month is Rm80 x 24 months = Rm1920. Rebates on the Iphone will be around Rm1-1.3k depending on MOP package. So even after rebates you are pay more (RM1920 - Rm1300).

So it actually makes no sense to buy from Telco unless you really need the bundled telco packages.

absolutely right
only for those already using that higher monthly commitment plan and for people company pay telco bills make sense
trying to pay more to get subsidy and lock down our own for 24 months is nono

because over the time in few months after launch, telco also do promo subsidy more and lure new customer haha

Well telcos are banking on the desperation of would be Iphone buyers into signing into their expensive 2 year contracts .

Like how I would say everyy year, Be patient. There are lotsa of stocks for everyone.

any idea what time Apple Store Online would be available ?

Does anybody know if 13 pro max screen protectors will work with 14 pro max? Thanks

As for cases, I assume not due to slight difference in thickness.

last year iphone 13 pro max 256gb was rm5799 retail, maxis under 128 offers phone price around 4.3-4.4k, so it was well over 1.3k..

the same time as every other pre order, today midnight 12.01am

Yea bro especially this year, i think there will be ample of stocks available..

Just wonder why would you think there will be ample of stock this year?

more expensive ar... and looking at the early launch in many countries outside US, i also think Apple prepare a lot stocks for the pro models

this is something like a tradition, those years that iPhone design did not get major change like 11 to 12, less people buying

from iphone 5s to 6
from iPhone 7 to X
from 11 to 12
from 14 to 15 if design change
those years sure selling like hoke cakes

think there are not many people who plan to upgrade their phone this year, especially those who are using iPhone 13's...alot are waiting for more upgrades like the next one for usbC and etc... just a personal thought tho..

shouldnt think this way..
like that 11pro = 12pro = 13pro (design wise not much different at all)

11pro and 12pro didnt upgrade to 13pro

then they upgrade to 14pro (atleast for the dynamic island)

well that's also a way to see it, but somewhat I still think it'll be more stocks than demand this year

You can gauge the reception of the new iPhone in Malaysia by judging how fast the thread move.
So far this thread macam tak laku.

Last year IP13 thread you come back from lunch already moved 3-4 pages.
