The iPhone and iPad gets another price hike in Malaysia

Shortly after the announcement of the latest iPhone 6s, iPad Pro and iPad mini 4, the Malaysian Apple Online Store has made some price revisions on its product line up. With no surprises, most of the current iPhone and iPad models are getting a price increase, no thanks to our weakening currency exchange rate.

The iPhone 6 Plus costs as much as RM149 extra while the iPad gets price hike as much as RM459.

Overall all models are getting an increase with the exception of the iPhone 6 16GB and iPhone 5S 16GB which have gotten a slight dip of a couple of ringgit. For the iPad range, the iPad mini 2 gets a slight reduction which is to be expected for an ageing model.

Below is the current full price list with the old post-GST price.

For the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, this marks the 3rd price increase since it went on sale late last year and the recent hike was when the 6% GST came into effect on 1st April. When the iPhone 6 Plus 64GB was initially launched, it was priced at RM3,149 and now it is sold at RM3,699. That’s RM550 more since launch which is about 17% increase after a year. Suddenly buying iPhones are looking like an investment if you bought one early.

Apart from having the 128GB version discontinued, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus no longer has the Gold colour option. So if you’re looking for gold, you need to look for the latest iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus.

So for the newer iPhones, be prepared to pay more once they get here. From the looks of it, it would take probably another 2 months and we can only hope that our currency doesn’t slide down further against the dollar.
