The iPhone SE will be available for pre-orders in first wave countries tomorrow which includes the US, UK, Australia and Singapore. For Malaysia, there’s a chance that we could be getting it pretty soon as Maxis has started its registration of interest for the iPhone SE.
The pre-registration isn’t a booking but you’ll be informed once their plans and offers are officially available. We expect Maxis to bundle the iPhone SE with their iValue and MaxisONE Plans that come bundled with calls, text and data all-in. For easy ownership and the option to swap phones every year, it is likely that Maxis will offer the new compact iPhone on Zerolution.
To recap, the iPhone SE is a 4″ iPhone that’s powered by an A9 processor and comes with a 12MP main camera like the iPhone 6s. It is expected to be priced starting from under RM2,000 for its 16GB model based on its pricing overseas. For those holding on to their iPhone 5/5S, the iPhone SE is a viable upgrade with better specs, improved camera and it carries a more attractive price tag. The exterior is identical to the iPhone 5S and it comes in 4 colours including Rose Gold. According to Apple, the iPhone SE will hit 110 countries by late May 2016.
