Not my word, but this is what Maxis emailing everyone who has registered for iPhone 4 update. The terms used ‘very soon’ , is very tempting and signaling that iPhone 4 is very close to hit our shores.. , just a matter of time.. Is this for real?? I’ve no idea. On the iPhone 4 roadmap release, there is 1 batch of countries to receive iPhone 4 by end of August, well, probably Malaysia is one of them. Here is the email.
“Dear Sir/Madam,
We would like to thank you for registering your interest in the new iPhone 4, which will be arriving in Maxis stores very soon. Until then, we want to make sure that you stay up-to-date on this new Apple smartphone.

iPhone 4 will be available in another 18 more countries by the end of July, and we all know that Malaysia is not one of them. More countries will be added later but there is no confirmation which countries and when it is going to be. So when Digi and Maxis start put up iPhone 4 pre-registration page on their website, that’s the clearest sign ever that they iPhone 4 will hit our shores soon, probably by end if August. Apple strict style won’t let their partners to speculate the rumors, unless something has confirm black and white, just like in this case. Digi appears to be the first to have the registration page went live this evening, followed by Maxis soon afterward. It’s close ‘war’ of marketing, but I do not expect the price war ahead. Price? Unfortunately there is none, so stay tune.

Maxis is having iPhone special mid year sale from now until 31st July 2010. No surprise with the ‘special’ term here as we knows that iPhone 4 will be here in a month or two. The price for iPhone is slashed between RM200 – RM600 depend on the contract you’re opt to. The price cut is however available for 24 months contract. Keep in mind as well that, prepayment of monthly fee is required which will be credited back for your monthly bill.
For the sake of comparison, the cheapest monthly bill available from Maxis is RM100 which already includes data and voice+sms, versus Rm60 by Digi.
Now I can call this is the real iPhone price cut.

There has been a lot of speculation when iPhone 4 will available in Malaysia, but none as clear as this one. This, comes directly from Maxis’s COO, Van Overbeke, who provide hints that Maxis might eventually bring iPhone 4 to Malaysia market this coming August, and that’s all, no further details has been shared.
When it comes to Apple product related things, it common to see even the highly rank exec to stay tight-lipped, right until the deal is being finalized. But if this is indeed true, we have 2 more months to go before you can enjoy iPhone 4.
Maxis’s iPhone first birthday celebration is so sweet that they’re offering further Rm200 discount of any iPhone package until 20th April. It’s not just gimmick as the price cut is real. You can view the original price over here.
So next time you’re thinking to buy or upgrade iPhone, wait for its next birthday. More info here.
p/s : I can sense the price war soon..
