considering to buy ipon from Malaysia and use in Singapore. Will there be any complications?

Last time I bought Samsung Note 10+, cannot get rewards in SG, have to claim the rewards in Malaysia.

Hardware no problem to use anywhere

It’s the Apple ID Country that you need to worry about

I use Japan iPhone 11 Pro (cheapest place to get iPhone back then). Using SG Apple ID. Put in Celcom SIM. My only problem is I can’t use MY locked Apps like Shopee MY. No big deal cos I don’t shop there

No problem, if you'll be mostly in SG, get an SG AppleID so you can use SG billing methods. You can also get another AppleID for MY if you need it.

Myself, I have AppleIDs in the US (no MY App Store back then), NZ (first to cross intl dateline and therefore get new releases), JP (for Taiko no Tatsujin) and MY (main).

Just change your Apple ID address to Malaysia or get another Apple ID, what's the issue?
