According to the sources, the iPhone 5 preorder date is updated again to 23rd of November and the launch date will likely come on the 30th November.

* Maxis iPhone 5 Promotion - 5th to 11th Nov 2012 @ Mid Valley Megamall's North Court.

According to the sources and Mid Valley Megamall's North Court Events Schedule, it shows that Maxis have had booked the space from November 5th to 11th of 2012 for "Maxis One Club Promotion" and it should be the Maxis iPhone 5 Promotions Event. Also, the iPhone 5 Malaysia release date will very likely be on Friday (9-11-2012). So, it is a good start for Maxis, or other telcos to do a pre-registration of interest or pre-order to beat the crowd one the 9th.

Maxis possibly will revamp its iPhone plans to offer more value and data. We also expect a special deal for One Club members as usual. In terms of iPhone 5 Malaysia price, we do expecting it to be approximately RM2200 for 16GB, RM2600 for 32GB and RM2900 for 64 GB.

According to the sources - Malaysia will be getting the iPhone 5 on October 26 (Delayed). That is just more than a month away from now. However, the tentative launch date may get pushed if demand is high. If demands are within Apple’s projection, the October 26 launch date (Delayed) for Malaysia should remain unchanged.

In terms of iPhone 5 price in Malaysia, we don’t expect any big difference compared to the iPhone 4S that starts from RM2,199 for the 16GB. In Singapore, the iPhone 5 pricing on Apple Store is identical to last year. Anyway, the actual pricing may vary when it's launch.
