Comparison Price of iPhone 4 Malaysia vs Singapore

So it has landed, the iPhone 4. All are happy lining up to get their ‘first’ of 60 in Malaysia. I live in Johor Bahru (JB) and people always ask me about the price of iPhone in SG and they said it cheaper and even push me to buy it for them. 

Here is the breakdown of the price of iPhone in Malaysia and Singapore

Malaysia iPhone 4 16GB - RM2290 (unlock) *by Maxis

Singapore iPhone 4 16GB - SGD888 (unlock) *from Apple Store - roughly about RM2073

So it is cheap to buy in Singapore, but not adding the cost of travelling down south (for KL people), toll, ERP, parking in Singapore that could add up the bar with the price in Malaysia. 

And ONE MORE THING. You have to be a Permanent Resident (PR) or having a working permit of Singapore to buy those phone on any Service Provider (Singtel, M1, Starhub). You can also avoid this and jump straight to Sim Lim and buy the phone there (dunno the price there).

My RM0.02, just buy it here from Maxis, you will save so many hair if you have to deal with the warranty later.
