Apart from the latest Apple Watch 5 and Apple TV 4K box, Maxis is also offering the latest range of iPad models on its Zerolution instalment program. This includes the iPad Pro, iPad Air, 7th gen iPad and the iPad Mini. The devices come with WiFi + Cellular support.

The higher Postpaid 28 Tablet option costs RM28/month and it offers 10GB of data plus the option to use more data from your MaxisOne postpaid data pool. This means if you need more than 10GB, you can always use your available data from your main postpaid line.
