KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 11 — Now is probably the best time to pick up the iPhone 8 or iPhone XR as Apple Malaysia has slashed its official pricing following the launch of the iPhone 11 series.
The iPhone 8 is now Apple’s most affordable offering on the official online store and you can get it from RM2,199.
iPhone 8 / 8 Plus
Announced in 2017, the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus are the last remaining Apple models to retain the classic iPhone appearance with Touch ID. It runs on the same A12 Bionic chip as the iPhone X which is still pretty decent.
With the current revision, Apple has discontinued the 256GB storage option for the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, but they have introduced a new 128GB storage variant for those who want more storage than 64GB.
The base iPhone 8 64GB was previously priced at RM2,899 and now it’s going for RM2,199. Meanwhile, the iPhone 8 Plus price has been slashed from RM3,299 to RM2,699. The difference between 64GB to 128GB is only RM200.
