I am pretty sure by now everyone is already aware that the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will be made available officially in Malaysia on the 6th of November with telco providers already setting up pre-orders which seems to cause their bandwidth to be always maximized causing us, the customers unable to access and even make a smooth purchase in some cases. The reason being this post exists is to simply guide you the ultimate price list of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in Malaysia, doesn’t matter if its on contract, or off contract, the difference of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, all of these under one roof.

iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus?

This is the mainstream question that will be running on most people out there eagerly waiting to own one of these and having trouble to decide which one is a better buy and despite the official price in Malaysia is rather cheaper than most of the other regions out there, previously everyone was like ” it is impossible to buy the iPhone 6 Plus as its gonna be priced at above RM3k so better just get the iPhone 6 only I guess”, despite its pricing for the lowest storage capacity is far much lower than what we expected it to be this starts to be a dilemma again for those who decided to settle with the iPhone 6 rather than the iPhone 6 Plus.

For me using an Android smartphone as a daily driver seems to get used having a larger display rather than a 4.x-inch smartphones, I would certainly crave for the iPhone 6 Plus especially for its stunning size and believe it or not, a far much best ever iPhone ever made till date even in front of the iPhone 6. Why do I say so? Take a look below:-

Why iPhone 6 Plus?

– Full HD Display 1080 x 1920

– Optical Image Stabilization on the main 8MP camera which allows crisp and clearer images without much noticeable shakes or blurs.

–  A mouth watering 2915mAh battery capacity which would provide a 14-hour screen on time while watching videos. We already know that the iOS consumes less power than any other OS out there.

The iPhone 6 weighs at 129g and measures a thickness of only 6.9mm while the iPhone 6 Plus weighs at 172g, the heaviest iPhone yet with a remarkable thickness of only 7.1mm despite its huge outlook.

How to get the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus cheaper and off contract?

There are a few popular forums which specifically has a huge community whereby those who craved for only the new iPhone(s) plans rather than the phones will tend to sell lower than the retail price. Not much of a saving but still it would be a sealed official Malaysian telco set, you save around RM100-RM300 depending on how flexible the seller is. For me saving up RM1 is also a big deal as every penny matters right? Browse around and keep on the loop on Malaysian forums. Are you scared of being scammed or cheated by these mediums? Well, you can suggest them to walk in to the telco centers and make sure that the set it out from the telco center itself or of course by the side of the sealed box, you will be able to see the official service card attached to it and if that exists, you have nothing much to worry about.

Does storage matter to you? Well why not get the WD Passport Wireless? No idea what it is or how it works? Check out our post on WD Passport Wireless here.
