Prices & Release Date of iPhone 4 in Thailand

Iphone 4 in Thailand

At the moment we still don't have any official news of release dates and prices for the iPhone 4 in Thailand. However, the TrueMove website is already advertising on their front page for the iPhone 4 to be "coming soon" to Thailand. At the moment, we are expecting the iPhone to be released during September 2010. However, can you really keep saying "coming soon" for the next three months? Is there any chance that the iPhone 4 will be released in Thailand earlier than expected? The people at www.siampod.com speculate that it could be earlier. In fact, they reckon it could before 15th August 2010 for the release of iPhone 4 in Thailand.

UPDATE ON 29TH JUNE 2010: The iPhone 4 was on sale at MBK over the weekend with prices in the grey market settling at 16GB 54,000 baht and 32 GB 59,000 baht.

If this mid-August release date is true, then that would only be less than two months after the official release of the iPhone in the USA. In America, people will be able to buy the iPhone 4 from 24th June 2010. We are then expecting this to arrive in the grey market in Thailand in early July. Prices of course will be very high. But, if the official iPhone 4 will be sold only two months later by TrueMove and DTAC, is it a good idea to buy on the grey market? As we all know, the prices in the grey market always come down once news of the official release dates are released. At the moment we have news that iStudio in Thailand will be officially selling the iPad as early as the end of July 2010. This news (or speculation) has already resulted in price drops for the iPad at MBK and Fortune Tower. We are still waiting for official prices but it could be just a little more than America.

So, how much can we expect to pay for the iPhone 4 in Thailand? I think the first indication of an imminent release will be a price drop for the iPhone 3GS in Thailand. At the moment, 3GS handsets still cost 24,500 baht (16GB) and 28,500 baht (32GB). The prices don't include the 7% VAT. The reason these prices for the 3GS must fall BEFORE the iPhone 4 can come out is that we are expecting these to be the Thai prices for the new iPhone 4 in Thailand. If you want to buy a 3GS iPhone then it is best to WAIT until the price drop expected in August. If you want to sell your 3GS iPhone then it is obviously best to do it NOW before prices drop! Obviously for me, as I use my iPhone 3GS for work, I cannot sell this one until the new iPhone 4 comes out. There has been news that True might be setting up a second-hand market for iPhones in the near future. This is something I will be keeping a close eye on.
