Apple has finally launched its long-awaited next generation smartphone - the iPhone 7 - earlier this month. Sadly for us, Malaysia is not in the first wave of countries that'll be receiving the device. :(

The smartphone went on sale on 16 September in first wave countries which include Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, US and the UK.

Now don't feel too sad just yet! Yes, Malaysia isn't on the list but a number of online shops and retailers have managed to get their hands on the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus!

If patience isn't exactly your virtue or you wouldn't mind dropping a few extra stacks, below are the places where you can buy the highly-anticipated phone before it officially releases in the country:

1. Lazada

Apple fans keen to get their hands on the device can place their orders and get their phones from the famous online shopping with a one-year local supplier warranty.

Prices start from RM3,149 for the 32GB model and RM4,839 for the 32GB iPhone 7 Plus model. The colours available includes jet black, matte black, silver, gold and rose gold.

Do note that the jet black or matte black colour comes with a heavier price tag, partly due to the popularity of the newly introduced colour choice.

There are a number of sellers over at Lowyat that are selling the phones at different prices. Do proceed with caution if you're planning to buy from a stranger and always go for cash on demand whenever possible.

Keep in mind that the phones listed above are imported by the sellers and you'll be claiming your warranty from them, not Apple

Or you could just wait a little longer for the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus to officially launch here. We're expecting the devices to arrive in a month or two.

Not a fan of the iPhone 7? Good news because the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus are on sale!

Proceed with caution if you're planning to get the "Jet Black" colour!
