iPhone 6S Malaysian price list has officially been revealed
It's just a little past midnight and the major telcos in Malaysia have finally started to announce their price plans for the new Apple iPhone 6s and 6s Plus.
While the launch of any new iPhone is usually preceded by much anticipation and speculation, this year's release in Malaysia is especially interesting because consumers here have been waiting to find out how much higher the price of the new devices would be, taking into consideration the weakening Ringgit.
Digi and Maxis have set up pages with their pre-order prices and a list of prices for each device
DIGI'S RRP (Recommended Retail Price):
iPhone 6s
iPhone 6s 16GB – RM 3,199
iPhone 6s 64GB – RM 3,699
iPhone 6s 128GB – RM 4,199
iPhone 6s Plus
iPhone 6s Plus 16GB – RM 3,699
iPhone 6s Plus 64GB – RM 4,199
iPhone 6s Plus 128GB – RM 4,699
It's good to note that the price list provided by Maxis had a different RRP as compared to Digi's.
MAXIS'S RRP (Recommended Retail Price):
iPhone 6s
iPhone 6s 16GB – RM 3,099

29 September: After launching in certain countries last week, Malaysians will finally have a chance to get their hands on the highly sought after iPhone 6s and 6s Plus on 16 October
Apple has just released the dates for the next batches of iPhones and Malaysia will be getting the phones on 16 October, along with India and Turkey. Taiwan, however, will get the phone in the first October wave (that includes most of Western and Eastern Europe) on 9 October.

Apple Malaysia's official site confirmed the release date with a new tab dedicated to the two new smartphones
At this moment, pricing and telco plans have not been announced. But with only two weeks left, we're expecting more details to be revealed.
Both iPhone 6s models look identical to their iPhone 6 equivalents, with the exception of a new Rose Gold colour.
More significant upgrades are under hood - 2GB RAM, 3D Touch, A9 chip and better cameras for both devices.
The new iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus are visibly the same as the previous iPhone 6/6 Plus with the exception of a new Rose Gold colour as pictured above. However, it gets a significant upgrade underneath with an improved aluminium 7000 shell while the display has 3D touch which is similar to the Apple Watch’s Force Touch.
The performance claims to be double of its predecessor with a new A9 chip that’s mated with 2GB of RAM. For taking pictures, the iPhone 6s gets a larger 12MP main sensor while the iPhone 6s Plus model gets added Optical Image Stabilisation. For selfies, you can expect better and brighter pictures with a 5MP front cam which uses the Retina Display as a soft flash in low light situations.
