Apple iPhone 5S
RM 1,258.00
Price last checked: 3 Jan 2020. Confirm current price before buying.
The iPhone 5S price in Malaysia starts from RM1258, putting it well below current flagship territory. This reflects its age rather than any current-gen value; it runs on the Apple A7 chipset paired with just 1GB RAM, which was solid in 2013 but limits what you can run smoothly today. The 4.0-inch IPS display is compact, and iOS support tops out at iOS 9.2.1.
Camera-wise you get an 8MP rear sensor with dual-LED flash and 1080p video, functional for basic shots but nothing close to modern computational photography. Battery capacity sits at 1560mAh, small even for this screen size. Touch ID was a genuine first for iPhones at launch, and storage options go up to 64GB, though there's no way to expand it further.
