iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro pricing in Singapore

With Apple Watch Series 5 pricing

Published

on

The iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max are now all available!

While the iPhone 11 is the successor to the iPhone XR, Apple is stressing the fact that it is a flagship, pricing it lower than the iPhone XS. Inside the iPhone 11 is Apple’s newest processor — the A13 Bionic. This means it still is more capable than iPhones of the past and can perform much of the same tasks as the Pro models.

The first thing that will jump at you about the new iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max is the triple camera module. It’s these cameras and what they can do that put a lot of the Pro in the iPhone 11 Pro. Apple’s calling it the (hold your breath) Cutting-Edge Pro Camera System. The three cameras will give you three different views: Ultra Wide, Wide and Telephoto.

Pricing and availability

The new iPhones are now available in Singapore. The iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max will be available in 64GB, 256GB and 512GB models in midnight green, space grey, silver and gold starting at SG$ 1,649 and SG $1,799, respectively.

Meanwhile, the iPhone 11 will be available in 64GB, 128GB and 256GB models in purple, green, yellow, black, white and PRODUCT(RED) starting at SG$ 1,149.

The Apple Watch Series 5 (GPS) is also up for grabs and starts at SG$ 599. The Apple Watch Series 5 (GPS + Cellular) starts at SG $749.

In Malaysia the iPhone 11 family will be available starting Friday, September 27. Authorized resellers in the Philippines are still mum on pricing and availability but we’ll get the information to you as soon as we get it.
