iPhone and iPad price rise after GST

This put a tough decision for anyone who wants to own high-tech and high-fashion gadgets with an Apple logo because it’s going to cost you even more. This happens right after the price rise of iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and iPhone 5S.
A 6% increase is applied for all products but the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus witness the the highest hike. The iPhone 6 is now priced from RM 2,702 for the 16GB version, which is RM 303 higher compared to its first price last year. As for the phablet iPhone 6 Plus, the price now reaches the height of more than RM 3,000. It is RM 3,126. Other products don’t increase that much since they remained unchanged after the revision a few weeks ago.
