I pre-ordered from umobile. After some calculation, it's cheaper to buy the phone with U68 plan compared to buying it from Apple Store. Currently using GX55 postpaid plan with unlimited high speed internet but only 5gb for hotspot. The U68 plan offered by umobile for the phone bundle is a lil bit more expensive with only 300gb of data but can be shared as hotspot. Honestly I don't even use that much data from the line as I've wifi everywhere at home and office. In average, just around 10-20gb/month so 300gb will be good enough for two years. But someone who doesn't have any other internet options might needs more.


I pre-ordered Iphone 16 pro 512gb. Device price offered by Umobile is around RM 5409 compared to retail price RM 6499. So in my case, I save a lot more in device price while the postpaid plan is not much different (55 vs 68). Plus Im buying it cash without using epp or any instalment so the lower device price is always good lol.

Last time Iphone 15 first time the price got discount kaw kaw from official resellers probably due to price correction for the iphone prices sold in our country. Official resellers get the stock from Apple with newer cheaper prices so they sell it at discounted prices. This year Apple already priced all the iphone variants 500 lower than last year so Im not sure there will be high discount like last year from official resellers.

Last year also the rumors base iphone will start at 256gb and non-pro lineup will get 120hz. A year later, we still have 128gb and 60hz.

Im buying from umobile since I already use their gx55 plan before. Have to upgrade to u68 to buy the phone but the difference not much RM 55 to RM 68 so dont care much on that. The good thing this my iphone 16 pro 512gb only cost RM 5477 from Umobile while the RRP from Apple store is around RM 6499. So I saved a lot on device price although need to pay slightly higher for the mobile plan.
