Maxis outs iPhone 4 plans

Maxis has just released full details of its iPhone 4 plans ahead of the telco’s official launch of the device this Friday, 24 September.
As far as we can see, there are a few enhancements in the new iValue and iData plans but we’ll get into the details of that a little later. For now, we’re seeing that the contract extension offer to existing iPhone 3G and 3GS owners is very encouraging and is similar to what the AT&T are doing.
Maxis has done a good job with this contract extension offer and it definitely makes iPhone 4 ownership to existing customers a tremendously attractive proposition, to an extent that we, as iPhone 3GS owners are also considering on taking up the offer.
Incidentally, there’s not even a peep from DiGi as to what their iPhone 4 offering will be. Looking at what Maxis has to offer, DiGi has to come up with something very special to counter.
At the end of the day it’s us, the consumer who wins, and that’s a good thing.

UPDATE: Maxis iPhone 4 pricing and plans now official.
We gotten a heads up on the purported iPhone 4 offering by Maxis via twitter.
What’s interesting is that there will be a contract extension program offered during launch for existing users of iPhone 3GS up to a maximum of 30 months, inclusive of current contract. This will come with a fee of RM50.
The grand event is purportedly happening on 24th September at 12am-4am for invited guest only. More details to come soon as we get it.

If you’ve registered your interest with DiGi for the iPhone 4, you should have gotten a little teaser email this evening. DiGi says that the iPhone 4 is here and it will be available next week, making it anywhere between 19th-25th of September. Maxis is believed to be launching next week as well. Who will launch first? We will find out next week. This is it people, the iPhone 4 here in Malaysia next week!
Don’t forget to claim your free bumper from Apple as the case program ends 30th September.
iPhone 4: Malaysia launch close

Those who’ve registered their interest for the iPhone 4 with Maxis will have received another update email about the iPhone 4.
To the iPhone veteran, the email talks about the most mundane of things related to the device, in this case the emails give readers a brief overview on how to backup, setup and sync you iPhone.
Nothing new, but what caught our attention is this particular sentence right at the beginning of the email: “the iPhone 4 will be arriving any day now”.
It is by no means a clear indication when exactly Maxis will launch the iPhone 4 but it does give the impression that launch day is eminent and when it does happen, you’ll be sure to get the latest here at SoyaCincau.com.
We wonder if DiGi will put an early iPhone 4 launch and beat Maxis to the punch? They are already offering Micro SIMs.
This is going to be fun!
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 reveals iPhone 4 clues on Facebook

As we’re drawing closer and closer to the date we predict that the iPhone 4 will launch in Malaysia, Maxis have been dropping clues on Facebook that an iPhone 4 launch is near.
First up, Maxis has ran out of the 16GB iPhone 3GS and there are “limited stock” of the 32GB 3GS. This is not much of a surprise, everyone knows both Maxis and DiGi are clearing 3GS stocks to make way for the iPhone 4 and the 8GB 3GS.
But what’s interesting is that Maxis, on its FB page have indicated that they will launch the iPhone 4 sometime in “August or September”. We might have to revise our prediction slightly but we still feel that an August launch is probable.
Now, it’s just a matter of Maxis making the announcement.
Speaking of device launches, it appears that DiGi and Maxis are not as enthusiastic about bringing the BlackBerry Torch to Malaysia as they are with the iPhone 4. Even Celcom, a telco that’s big on Berrys are not saying anything about the Torch.

UPDATE (20100920) : Maxis iPhone 4 plans for launch leaked. Read about it here.
UPDATE (20100917) : DiGi confirms iPhone 4 stock in Malaysia. To launch week of 20th September 2010. Read about it here.
Ok so the official word is out, DiGi and Maxis have opened registration of interest for the iPhone 4 but little else has been revealed.
We don’t know the pricing, we don’t know the plans and we don’t know when will the iPhone 4 be available in stores.
But we know the industry enough to be able to put out some predictions that’s pretty accurate. Earlier we predicted that pre-order, or more accurately, registration of interest (ROI), will happen after 19 July and it did.
Now that the ROIs are out, we can with some degree of accuracy predict when the in-store dates for the iPhone 4 will be. It will be roughly two weeks from today. If you count the exact days that puts the iPhone 4 launch on 3 August. But we’re going to go slightly conservative on our prediction put the iPhone 4 launch sometime within the week starting 2 August.

UPDATE: DiGi confirms iPhone 4 stock in Malaysia. To launch week of 20th September 2010. Read about it here.
Well, well what do you know, DiGi silently with no fuss beat Maxis to the announcement.
Yes people, DiGi is the first telco in Malaysia to offer pre-orders registration of interest for the flawed iPhone 4.
It also turns out that our predictions on the pre-order date is correct but we got the telco completely wrong. We predicted earlier that Maxis will open pre-orders for the iPhone 4 sometime this week. It turns out DiGi quietly beat them to it.
No launch date has been released but if our predictions are true, Malaysians could be officially getting their iPhone 4s early in August. We wonder if DiGi’s move is actually a pre-emptive strike to defuse something that Maxis is planing to announce soon?
We still have a feeling that Maxis will announce something about the iPhone 4 soon.
Head on over to DiGi’s iPhone pre-order page for details

(UPDATE 1929hrs 12072010) Maxis made the announcement and sorry guys, it’s not what you think. Still no word on when the iPhone 4 will be here.
Maxis via tweeter today indicated that the telco will be announcing something exciting today.
Naturally, many of you, including us, are wondering if this impending announcement will have anything to do with the iPhone 4 coming to Malaysia soon.
We don’t know. It could be an announcement about the iPhone 4 or it could very well not be. So we’ll have wait for the official word from Maxis.
We predicted that iPhone 4 pre-orders will be open on Maxis sometime around 19 July, could this tweet mean that they are opening the pre-orders earlier? Let’s wait and see.
But if the recent DiGi revision in its own iPhone packages and the recent spate of announcements from Maxis upper management is anything to go by, this announcement could be the one many are waiting for.
Watch this space.
