UPDATE: Maxis has revised its iPad Air pricing making it similar to Apple retailer pricing.
The Malaysian iPad Air outright pricing has been revealed by Maxis this morning from as a low as RM2,049 for the 16GB model. Since it is being offered on contract, they are only offering the WiFi + Cellular version which supports 4G LTE connectivity. The iPad Air with 4G connectivity support is priced as follows:
iPad Air (WiFi + Cellular) 16GB –
RM2,049RM2,029
iPad Air (WiFi + Cellular) 32GB –RM2,299RM2,349
iPad Air (WiFi + Cellular) 64GB –RM2,649RM2,679
