Im planning to buy an iPhone this friday, but im wondering if it comes to malaysia would it be cheaper than buying it now..Im buying a 16GB iphone for 2.6k is it worth it..?

iPhones from US apple retail shop

8gb = 400USD
16gb = 500USD

if you do a convert with the current currency, it's roughly 3.2 (giving them some more bonus) So it's about 1600RM.

essentially you're paying an extra 1k for the iPhone.

woha u buy from which shop ???

at the garage sales thread u can already get a 16GB iPhone around RM2150
the price itself is not inclusive of tax when u buy it at the Apple Store. and not inclusive of the cost bringing it here (custom, sirim, delivery, etc etc).

kasi smuggle balik lor.. hahahahahahaha

Bought a Iphone 16GB 1.1.4 from a Lelonger. RM2150. Good Deal.

PM me for contact no.

One post count and you're doing alot of effort promoting the other guy.

For example 32GB itouch now is selling the same price as 16GB iphone so when iphone release in Malaysia then it'll cost around 2k

Personally I don't see the point in getting the touch. Why pay so much for what is essentially a dumbed down iPhone? Unless you desperately want that extra storage I say just get the iPhone.

I doubt the iPhone will make it to malaysia anytime soon and if it does, if there is no carrier subsidy its gonna cost around 3k I feel. So yeah hehe..

good deal ! i got mine at 1780 thru LYN dealer. Trustable and superb sales after service. Better than alot of handphone dealers. Thanks LYN.

my advice is just wait for Singapore to carry the iPhone 3G. It's coming out this summer and SG will probably have it in sept.

wow that's a really big questionmark there.

I really doubt SG would be the 1st among all Asia countries to get the iPhone. It has been debated before and the smartest move for Apple would be releasing the iPhones either in China/HongKong, Japan or those in the iTunes list rather than countries like Singapore or Malaysia based on their current marketing strategy.

Yep. Hong Kong first i would say. China? I doubt it why? cos' got 'china' iphone

Yeah, with all those Hiphone, Meizu, and iPhones look alike hahaha

Vor nice skin he he he which one ure using? or u made on your own?

Anyway i dont think Msia iphone for 16G would be cheaper than RM3k
as the one u bought in US is partially subsidised by AT & T
Unless as said Umobile is in talk with Apple to bring the phone ere
well u might get cheaper than 3k yet u have to sign up with Umobile

I am not using any of them at the moment but planning to get either the 1st or 2nd one hehehe

Are you sure it's subsidized? It is not. Apple and AT&T are just doing profit sharing concept which iPhone profits will be taken totally by Apple.

i think none of the local telco wants to pair up with Apple now seeing so much iPhone flooded in market..

if they were to pair with apple, they would have to subsidize the phone and knowing malaysian, all will just buy the phone but using other carrier provider....

it's something like malaysian government subsidize the petrol/rice but being smuggled/used by singaporean/thailand

eventually the government loosing money

so if its true iPhone will launch in Malaysia, would the price higher or chepaer than right now?
