When Apple announced 8GB versions for earlier iPhone models, it was meant to be entry level models to make it affordable for the masses. That doesn’t seem to be the case here until recently.
Apart from the iPhone 4 8GB which can be bought for RM1,799 outright, reader David had pointed out that Apple Store is also offering the iPhone 3GS 8GB for RM1,199 outright. This makes it cheaper and can be a choice for mid level smart phone buyers.
The iPhone 3GS is still decent smart phone with access to a huge library of apps on the App store. In terms of software, it is still on par with the latest iPhone as it supports iOS 5 albeit with reduced new features. Other smart phones within that price range are Sony Ericsson Xperia ray, LG Optimus Black, Samsung Galaxy S Plus and Samsung Galaxy W.
As comparison, Maxis iPhone page is still showing the 3GS 8GB priced at RM1,790. There’s an i3GS promo plan which offers the phone for RM199 with 24 months contract.
For more information, head over to iPhone 3GS product page.
Thanks to David for tipping us at the comments!

Before
After
Maxis has started cutting down its iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS 8GB pricing, an expected move before the new iPhone makes its debut. In addition, they are also giving Free Maxis WiFi service for 3 months if you purchase an iPhone with their plans.
Compared with its initial iPhone 4 pricing, iValue plans bundle price see a reduction of RM100-200 depending on model and contract duration.
Just a few weeks ago, they have introduced iValue Lite plan of RM70/month which is on limited time offer until end of next month. There’s no change on the iPhone 4 pricing for the Lite plan except for the 24 months contract price for the 32GB iPhone 4 which was reduced from RM2390 to RM2290.
Check out the iPhone 4 pricing here and 3GS 8GB here.

Maxis reveals 8GB iPhone 3GS prices

Maxis officially revealed pricing of iPhone 3GS 8GB which is exactly the same as the leaked figures.
As expected, the price for the new 8GB iPhone 3GS is similar to the old iPhone 3G price of the same capacity at the time the iPhone 3GS was introduced back in 2009.
With the entry-level 8GB 3GS introduced, it looks like the iPhone 4 is not far away from being launched in Malaysia. We may be off in our predictions on when the iPhone 4 will be launched but in terms of pricing you can expect it to be roughly if not exactly the same as the iPhone 3GS when it first came into the market here.
Also in terms of plans, we don’t expect much to change from the previous iPhone offerings. But if you recall, DiGi was the first to open registration of interest of the iPhone 4 on its website back in July 2010. So with the added competition from DiGi — who may or may not release the iPhone 4 earlier than Maxis — we’re expecting some deal sweetening offers from both sides.
Although the price of the phones might not change much the two telcos may go out on a limb to offer rebates and value-add freebies to get you to sign-up with them.
It’s going to be interesting to watch.

Maxis iPhone 3GS 8GB Pricing Leaked

While waiting for the iPhone 4 announcement, a lowyat forum user rynstar has posted the leaked pricing of Maxis’s iPhone 3GS 8GB. The iPhone 3GS 8GB is the new “entry level” iPhone launched together with the iPhone 4.
From the partial shot above, the iPhone 3GS 8GB retails at RM1990 and it can be free on an unnamed plan over 24 months. We believe the upper part of table could be bundled pricing for iValue plans while the lower 2 could be for Prepaid users judging on its higher price tag.
No updates on their website yet but this could indicate that the official Maxis iPhone 4 launch is imminent.

Maxis confirms iPhone 3GS 8GB in Malaysia

Earlier, we asked the question to DiGi and Maxis on whether they will bring the 8GB iPhone 3GS to Malaysia.
Today, just a day of the iPhone 4 launch in the US and a few other lucky countries, Maxis confirms on twitter that they will be bringing in the iPhone 3GS 8GB version which was announced together with the iPhone 4. No word on when but we have a strong feeling that it will be in August.
The iPhone 3GS 8GB will become the entry level iPhone and it will come with iOS 4 installed.
It is highly possible that the iPhone 4 will be introduced by Maxis at the same time.
With this latest development, we would be expecting pre-ordering for the iPhone 4 pretty soon.

The new entry level iPhone 3GS 8GB which was announced together with the iPhone 4 is reported to have the latest OS installed. As seen in the photo obtained by Engadget, the iPhone 3GS 8GB box is showing the iOS 4 running on the screen.
So far there isn’t any official announcement of price reduction or even this latest entry level iPhone 3GS from Maxis & DiGi. Perhaps we can expect to hear something when the Malaysian iPhone 4 launch draws near.
