Apple hardware and software, from iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch to AirPods, Apple Pencil, and accessories.
The Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Dock retails for S$118 in Singapore, but I bought mine in Bangkok at iStudio Paragon for about S$131, S$13 more even after the VAT refund. It's surprisingly small, at 10.4cm wide, yet much heavier.
The Apple USB-C Charge Cable retails for S$42 in just one 2m length; I wish it also came in 0.5m and 1m. Its reversible plugs mean no orientation markings on the ends, much like Apple's Lightning cables.
The Apple iPad Pro, a 12.9-inch iPad, is now available for pre-order in Singapore and 39 other countries, with delivery from 13th November 2015. It comes in silver, gold, and space grey, in 32GB and 128GB.
I pre-ordered the Apple TV (4th Generation) on 26th October 2015 and received it on the 30th October release day. In Singapore it retails for S$248 (32GB) or S$318 (64GB); I chose 32GB, unsure I'd need more space.
Apple Pay is coming to Singapore, alongside Hong Kong and Spain, in 2016 for American Express cardholders. First revealed by Tim Cook on Apple's Q4 2015 earnings call, Amex confirmed it would let members pay with an iPhone.
The Apple iPhone Lightning Dock launched in May 2015 at S$58, in plastic and only white. For the iPhone 6/6s Plus launch, Apple added an aluminium variant at S$68, S$10 more, now offered in colours including this gold.
The Apple iPhone 6s Plus Leather Case retails for S$68 and, like the 6 Plus case, shipped well before the phone itself. It comes in five colours, Midnight Blue, Saddle Brown, Rose Grey, Brown, and Black; I chose Midnight Blue.
I bought the Apple Watch 42mm Milanese Loop for S$218 from the Apple Online Store, since it was sold out at every authorised reseller. I ordered on 2nd July 2015 and received it on the 7th, despite the five-to-seven-day shipping.
I picked up the Apple Watch 42mm Black Sport Band, along with the Magnetic Charging Cable, while on holiday in the UK. It costs £39, about S$83, before the tax refund, versus S$78 in Singapore, and comes in two variants.
I bought the Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Cable while on holiday in the UK, where it cost £25, about S$53, before tax refund, likely matching the Singapore price after the refund. It comes in two lengths, 1m and 2m.
I was meant to attend the Apple Watch media launch at Nubox Raffles City if they could reserve me a set. They never got back to me, so by the time I was in the queue, I forwent the event.
Apple officially launches the Apple Watch in Singapore, alongside Italy, Mexico, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, and Taiwan, on 26th June 2015. It'll be sold via the Apple Online Store, authorised resellers, and Malmaison, with prices starting from S$518.
Pioneer says it's the first aftermarket car entertainment brand to bring Apple CarPlay to Singapore, with two in-dash multimedia receivers, the AVH-X8650BT and AVH-X8750BT. The AVH-X8650BT retails for S$1,049, a 2-DIN DVD receiver with a 7-inch WVGA touchscreen display.
Apple Watch launches in nine countries on 24th April 2015, Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, the UK, and the US. Singapore isn't among this first tier, so I estimate the prices we can expect when it arrives.
With a US credit or debit card, you can use Apple Pay in Singapore, no US iTunes account or US IP required. Just set your region to United States, then open Passbook, tap Set Up Apple Pay, and add one.
I asked my mom to grab the Apple 60W MagSafe 2 Power Adapter from iStudio at Changi Airport, since she was flying to Hong Kong. It retails for S$108, but tax-free at the airport it's about 7% cheaper, around S$100.93.
The Apple iPhone 6 Plus Leather Case retails for S$68, and my brother ordered it with the iPhone 6 Plus. The case shipped first and arrived yesterday, while the phone stayed stuck on Processing Items. It comes in five colours.
During the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus pre-order on the Apple Singapore Store, I was among many who couldn't buy because clicking Select did nothing. It should redirect you to add it to your cart, so here's a direct URL.
I took my old Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter to the office, so I needed another for home. I picked one up at VivoCity's Infinite for S$38, surprisingly absent from Challenger, which only stocks the VGA version.
Apple announced the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus this morning, and Singapore is again among the nine first-wave launch countries on 19th September 2014, alongside the US, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Australia, Hong Kong, and Japan. I'd expected China too.
My company gave me a MacBook Pro Retina 13-inch (Late 2013), which uses MagSafe 2 rather than MagSafe 1. With a spare 85W MagSafe adapter at home, I picked up Apple's official converter for it.
My work laptop had been a MacBook Air 13-inch (Mid 2011), now a three-year-old model. Under migme's policy of replacing laptops every three years, they bought me a 13-inch MacBook Pro Retina (Late 2013), with a 2.4GHz dual-core i5.
