hard to say, don't forget the US tariff

Oh no. Not this topic again, don’t trigger so-called “economic expert” posts later.

Because the iphone price in china now is stupid low , even if they might increase the retail price in US , but i'm sure they will give highly discount for their auth dealer outside of the US to bump the sales. Look at how iphone 15 and 16 get high discount price. Unless u going to purchase at the first batch

Apple no tariff right, or just a show also?

From my understanding , smart phone & computer part doesn't effect to the tariff because it have been excluded in the tariff list.

But trump do actually force apple to make the iphone in America or they might be facing the 25% tariff , so the deal stil going and i think they will found some solution for both party.


Maybe next time , might have two price? Macam china phone , the xiaomi phone sold in america is super expensive if u compared to RMB day & night

I am anxiously waiting for this year's iPhone. Hope no delays for the Malaysian market like my MacBook.

I waited so long for my M4 MacBook Air. Love the TRX Apple buy on the spot experience...

Anyway, a few weeks after I got my Mac I found out that my previous Mac was received on the same date April 11 exactly 10 years apart. Such coincidence. At that time it wasn't out for the Malaysian market yet but Apple allowed us to order early before the GST kicks in.

Last year no delay for iPhones in Malaysia. We were in the first batch, so this year will be the same.

True!
But only if the battery can last more longer too.

praying that if the actual unit looks great.

if i'ts LTPO screen , then should be no problem , because it will change to 1hz when u are not scrolling , and if very powerful user will definitely skip the 17 and go for pro max for the bigger battery , i think iphone 17 stil can easily surpass 1 day usage for like replying email/msg and some socmedia , or might need to topup in the middle of the day for the battery percentage anxiety

At this moment i stil will purchase iphone is because only iphone able to give better quality video and in-app camera for whatsapp / IG and tiktok live streaming , need this badly because of my work , other than this really no excitement for the new iphone

I'm still using 128GB 12PM since it launch, while my Android dy change twice.... I still game on it... but occasionally need to charge during 3-4pm if extensive use (gaming) Most my game also played on iOS/iPadOS.

And finally plan to make iPhone my primary phone. (cause I trust Apple more than Xiaomi *cough * cough

Android have more excited thing to upgrade, especially the improvement of the SoC and the cooling system from china phone which can let u gaming for long time without drop frame , thank to the 8Elite & 9400 , but for working phone , stil cant leave without iphone , that i have to admit , their video & camera optimization for app stil next level.

Let see what can they bring for the iphone 17 series , as a consumer i hope both will fighting hardly , only consumer will get the MAX benefit. Just look at the new mac mini m4 and macbook air m4 , the price was super , hardly believe that was offer by Apple actually , hope they will do something on iphone too

Sure nice one!

^^^ this!!!

You didn't take advantage of the education free AirPods promo?

No, the promo wasn’t there when I was buying it.

Let's guess what's the expected price for the base model of 17PM. For 16PM - 256GB it was priced at RM 5999.

I do have an Apple gift card of RM 1150 to use, and I plan to trade in my current 16PM. Last year I traded in the 15PM 256GB for 3.7k. Since I have no plan to use the gift card on other stuff, I will just use it for the 17PM.
