Is it worth buying the iPhone 5 in Malaysia?

Hi guys! I'm going to Malaysia in a few days where the iPhone 5 retails for 700 for the 16 and 780 for the 32GB model. So that's about $100 cheaper than it is in Australia. So I was just wondering if it's safe and good to buy it in Malaysia. I will be using it in Australia so will my cellular data still work although I'm purchasing it from Malaysia? I'm also going to buy it from an Apple Premium seller, so I don't think that I'd be frauded and sold a fake iPhone.
Thanks in advance.

Here's the deal, if you purchase your phone in Malaysia, your warranty/support will only be valid there. Any issues, & you'll have to physically return the phone to Malaysia for all warranty/support issues...you can't mail it back.
Is that worth saving a hundred bucks? Might want to think about that.

If i buy an iPhone in Malaysia,will it works in India?

I am currently living in Malaysia and I am going to study my Medicine in India soon.
As we all know iPhone 6 will be released real soon rumored to be around September 2014.
So my question is if i buy an iPhone 6 in Malaysia,will it still works when I move to India? As I know,you can't use an iPhone which has been brought directly from US due to the SIM -lock I guess..
Will it be the same if I buy an iPhone in Malaysia and can't use it in India or I need to do some kind of unlock process in India?
Thanks in advance..

I see..Let's say if it is an unlocked iPhone which I'm able to use it in Malaysia,so i will also be able to use it in India right?
The locked iPhone is only usable in US whereas the unlocked one will be usable in anywhere outside US?
Thanks for replying ^^
Oh ya,I know that initially all iPhone were only subjected to AT&T carrier which is the US carrier..So is it means we can use it on whatever carrier at anywhere outside of US after we have unlocked it?

I buy my Iphone at Malaysia, can i use it in South Korea?

I buy my Iphone at Malaysia, can i use it in South Korea?
If can how? if i sign v their telecommunication service, their sim card is same like Malaysia ?

If you use a credit card from a financial institution in the US,
with a verified billing address in the US, and ship the order to
the US. Warranty will be valid only in the US and LTE will not
work in EU. The low prices you see for some iPhones are
because the iPhone requires a 2 year contract with a wireless
carrier in the US. Prices for unlocked (useable with any carrier)
iPhone 5 are $649 for 16 GB, $747 for 32 GB, and $849 for 64 GB
+ applicable taxes which will vary with shipping destination within
the US. Still interested?

Is it worth buying the ipad 2 when ipad 4 is already there in market ?

Is it worth buying the ipad 2 when ipad 4 is already there in market ?
I was planning to buy Apple iPad 2 64 GB + 3G but is it worth when iPad 4 is already here cuz I cannot afford the 3rd gen or 4rth gen ?
Will it be able to work fine even after 2 yrs or so ? Will get ios 7 or whatever update after ios 6 ?

Apple does not currently sell a new 64GB iPad 2; only a 16GB model. Do you really need a 64GB model? The iPad 4 has more features than the iPad 2 and is much faster. Since this is a user to user forum, and not Apple employees, we have no way to know Apple's plans for iOS 7.

Be sure to make an appointment first...

I want to buy iPhones (4S and 5) and want to buy them in US $. But want Apple to ship them to Pakistan. I will pay the charges of shipment once told. I want to buy the iPhones in Contracts. I'll unlock them myself no problem. Is that possible? Apple ans?

No, you can't do what you want. Apple will only ship a US iPhone to a verified billing/shipping address in the US.

What does that mean? What is your technical support question?

Worth buying the Xperia Z3 Compact ? And a question about headphones.

Worth buying the Xperia Z3 Compact, compared to Xperia Z3?
And a doubt. I have had other Xperias, and headphones from other brands did not work well with him, this ''Z3 line'' is yet? It only works with Sony headphones?
Thank You!

Well, the headphone jack is designed to be compatible with Noise Cancelling headphones from Sony, that uses 5 pins in the pole, however, a regular 3 segments headphones should work without issues... the problem is if you try to use incompatible Headsets (the ones with microphones) since the use an additional segment and it my be located in a different way than what Sony uses.
My advice is, if you are not the most hardcore audiophile, that you get a medium range Bluetooth Headphones. Those will be compatible with your phone...
I have had Altec Lansing BackBeat 906, 903... Plantronics BackBeat 903+, and currently use the BackBeat Go2.
Out of those the Go2 are the best sounding headphones for me (I do not care for tons of bass, so the amount of bass with those is very good)... but the battery is bad, around 3.5 hours. The fit is good, people complain when trying to use as advertised, but I actually found a better way to place them, making a loop around and front of my ears...... Price ~70$
All previous ones had a battery of 7 hours, but the rubber material of the piece around your ear hardens with time and breaks (after a couple of years of use)... the Go2 seems to be better built.
Finally I would recommend to you the Jaybirds Bluebuds X if you are willing to pay 140~160 $.... with excellent battery life, and sound quality.
If you want to go cheaper... Sony's SBH line has plenty of option with good reviews... SBH20 being the cheapest
And if you want to go crazy expensive, Parrot Zik are over 400$ but apparently they are the best all around. I tried them once.

What if it's a Verizon iPhone?
Are all iPhones originally made "for" a carrier? If I'm in an electronics store (not a carrier store) and they have an iPhone for sale, do I need to ask what carrier it is for? I know for sure that it works with AT&T phones which are GSM.
I heard Verizon iPhones can't be unlocked for foreign GSM SIMS except by Verizon, who will only do it for customers, ie if u have a contract.
iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1.2

So if I buy the IPhone 4s unlocked, can I use a prepaid plan for At

I would like to buy the IPhone 4s but I dont want to pay alot of money.

AT&T does not support iPhones on pre-paid plans and when (not if) they discover you using one, they will shut down the account. You MUST go with a post paid plan on AT&T, though if your phone is unlocked, there is no need to tie yourself down to a contract.

Can u buy the iphone 5S unlocked in america

Can u buy the iphone 5S unlocked in america?

Yes. Doing so with the intent of using it in a different country, however, is not wise. The warranty is not valid outside of the U.S. and it will not work with LTE frequencies used outsided of North America.

Glenn,
I tried upgrading to leopard, even bought the software and brought it home but it wouldn't let me. So i went back to apple, gave them the specifications of the machine and been told my machine is simply too old for leopard. This is incredible to me because it really isn't THAT old (i think just a little over 6 years maybe) and yet i'm left out on the curb when it comes to using newer apple products. I understand technology moves on but the mindset that i am supposed to dump a perfectly working machine after a couple of years or face not being able to use any other apple product is counter to what thought apple was about.

To buy or not to buy the iphone 4

hey guys, i kno im new here but thought id share my thoughts.
ive neva had an phone before, used to have a nokia n96 and decided to buy the iphone 3gs back in feb this yr from the apple store which cost me £450. i gotta say its an awesome phone ( have the ipod touch 3rd gen as well ) and when hearing bout the iphone 4 i thought i had waisted my money on the 3gs, so i waited until iphone 4 launch and then all the complaints startd pouring in. i gotta say i really do like the deign sum wat and the screen is amazing but with all these problems with the phone i think im gonna wait for iphone 5, plus o2 wanna charge me £260 to upgrade early which is a rip off if u ever saw one. so i feel bad for all of u that have paid for a unusable phone and those of u that also sold ur previous phones. if iphone 5 is no better than the iphone 4 then its back to a nokia again. but my iphone 3gs is still the best phone ive ever had the pleasure of using ever.

IF you can wait I would honestly say wait till they fix the problems...other wise the iphone 4 is a hit or miss. Some people have problems and some don't.

Can I buy the Iphone off the Apple site?

So I am eligible and will be getting the $25 plan, I know that you can pre order on the 15th on the apple site. I have some questions though.
1.I can buy the Iphone 4 from the apple site and they will ship it to me?
2.All I have to do is pick the $25 plan and thats it?
3.How do you pre order? Do you have to pay a certain amount then pay on the 24th?
Thanks in advance!

1.I can buy the Iphone 4 from the apple site and they will ship it to me?
*If you are eligible, yes, you can pre-order and have it shipped to you.*
2.All I have to do is pick the $25 plan and thats it?
*$25 is data plan you must also have a voice plan and maybe a text messaging plan, if you do text messaging.*
3.How do you pre order? Do you have to pay a certain amount then pay on the 24th?
*You go to apple.com on morning of 15th and find pre-order page. Enter your info and credit card info and phone number. Your credit card will be charged when the phone ships. If you are a new AT&T customer, which it sound like you are, you will have to select a voice plan and a data plan and optionally a text messaging plan.*
