Apple iPhone Price in Malaysia Increases
When Apple restricted their iPhone purchasing limit many consumers over here in Malaysia didn’t think how this’ll affect the prices. They may have believed; “no need to worry-la, we sure can get stock wan.” Needless to say, the only stock getting whilst avoiding the recent Apple iPhone in Malaysia price increase is if you bought directly from the United States.
Recent news I’ve heard is the supply is scarce and the demand is still at an all time high. Apple iPhone resellers in Malaysia are jacking up their prices because their suppliers are demanding higher prices. A friend told me that Hong Kong now are selling the anySim (or other open-source unlocked) Apple iPhones at RM2500+.
Looking for low-priced Apple iPhones in Malaysia is now even more difficult. Even the local Apple iPhone website I know of is selling at RM2699 now while previously was lower. Mind you, these are not unlocked with iPhoneSimFree (paid iPhone unlocking software) but some open-source method.
The cheapest I’ve seen online now are in the LowYat forum. The lowest is at RM1999 and any lower than that, the seller has a very minimal quantity. I’d also like to add that RM1999 is only for a virgin Apple iPhone. Virgin meaning it’s not unlocked and you’ll receive it sealed.
In order to use the Apple iPhone in Malaysia, you need to unlock the Apple iPhone for Malaysia. If you’re a new Apple iPhone owner then you’re just in time as Maxis announced nationwide coverage for the Apple iPhone. I suppose it was threatened by the many users hopping on to DiGi at one time.
Anyway, so if you have a friend or relative flying back from the US and seriously want an Apple iPhone then you better make a special Christmas request. Otherwise, who knows what price will the Apple iPhone in Malaysia reach.

I am wondering if you get a unit in US, can it be used with any telco here? Do I have to unlock it?
baby:
Yes, in order to use in Malaysia with any telco (Maxis, DiGi or Celcom) you’ll need to unlock it. There are a number of unlocking methods mainly iPhoneSimFree (paid license software) and open-source (free).
Another factor to consider is the Christmas season–driving up the demand everywhere else. Anyone planning to buy one should wait till after christmas.
That is really true as well. Countless times I’ve heard suppliers holding stock while laying the excuse of “no stock” when in fact they’re just doing it to manipulate the market.
Hi Danny,
I’m having problem with my iPhone. Now, it always quits applications unexpectedly, this include iPod, SMS and even contacts. It happened after I downloaded applications into my iPhone. What could cause this? And ever since then, my EDGE is always on. How do I switch it off?
Thanking u in advance.
Xander.
Hmm, I get this when sometimes browsing Safari and yes, the iPod or while watching movies. However, it doesn’t happen as often. But still it’s weird it does this to me as well.
As for the EDGE, you could just remove the settings from your General > Network > EDGE. Then because the settings are input it won’t be able to connect.
Regards.
