iPhones are now more expensive in Malaysia

It seems that the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are going to be more expensive from here on out, and it hasn’t even been six months since they became available for the Malaysian market.

Thanks to a tip from one of our readers, we have the latest pricing for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus which all show a marked increase:

iPhone 6
iPhone 6 16GB – RM2,399  RM 2,549
iPhone 6 64GB – RM2,749 RM 2,949
iPhone 6 128GB – RM3,149  RM 3,349

iPhone 6 Plus 
iPhone 6 Plus 16GB – RM2,749  RM 2,949
iPhone 6 Plus 64GB – RM3,149 RM 3,349
iPhone 6 Plus 128GB – RM3,549 RM 3,749

The price for the iPhone 5s has also increased, despite being slashed down by Apple late last year

iPhone 5S

iPhone 5S 16GB – RM1,999 RM 2,149
iPhone 5S 32GB – RM2,199 RM 2,349

Lucky for us, it appears that the iPad and the iPhone 5c are still retaining it’s original pricing. The reason for the markup might just be due to fluctuating exchange rates after our currency took a hit in recent months against the Dollar. The iPhone was already carrying a premium price tag before the increase and there’s no signs of slowing down especially when it hit record sales last quarter.
