Before we get into the telco prices, let’s talk about the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Pluses’ recommended retail price.

While Apple themselves have yet to officially announce the local pricing of the phone, and indeed, have yet to open pre-orders on their own site, Apple resellers such as Machines and Switch has since revealed the official pricing of the phones.

They are as follows:

iPhone 8 256GB RM4,399
