Maxis and DiGi reveal Malaysian iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus price plans

Apple fans thronged the websites of the major telcos, namely Maxis Bhd and DiGi Telecommunications Sdn Bhd as the companies revealed the price plans for Apple’s latest iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus smartphones.

In fact, the rush caused a deluge of traffic at each telco’s site, resulting in a near complete standstill when trying to access the respective price plan pages.

Celcom Axiata Bhd, the third major telco, has not yet offered its price plans for the new devices.

Generally, there are no surprises with the pricing plans, with Maxis and DiGi largely reworking their pricing plans from the previous iPhone 5s but with some new rate plan additions and tweaks.

Overall, though, upfront payment was slightly lower than with the iPhone 5s, which is not too bad considering that with the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, the consumer is getting more phone for their hard-earned ringgit, with larger screens and more memory for the same general price range.

The websites also revealed the non-contract price of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus, where the 4.7in iPhone 6 will be RM2,399 for the 16GB version, RM2,749 for the 64GB version and RM3,149 for the 128GB version.

The larger 5.5in iPhone 6 Plus will go for RM2,749 for the 16GB, RM3,149 for the 64GB and RM3,549 for the 128GB version.Following on the chart we started creating last year, we’ve produced a price plan comparison for the various telcos which we’ve reproduced here.
