Rumor: XL Axiata to release iPhone 4 in Indonesia on April 26

Iphone-4-white-black

It seems that we're getting information about XL Axiata's imminent iPhone 4 launch. XL has been actively contacting app developers who have agreed to have their apps featured during the company's launch of the iPhone 4 and recently it has increased its communications with the group. Additionally, plans for the launch have been leaked on Twitter.

According to the leak, XL will launch its iPhone 4 in a week long event from Tuesday, April 26 to Sunday, May 1 at Grand Indonesia in Central Jakarta, in partnership with BNI. While the phones' outright prices won't be any different from Telkomsel's (16GB IDR 6.999 million, 32GB IDR 7.999 million), interested customers can also purchase the iPhone on an installment basis. BNI will accept an upfront cash payment with credit card installment for 12 months.

Telkomsel iPhone sales surged

Telkomsel_iphone_4


Telkomsel's VP channel management Gideon Eddie Purnomo on Monday revealed that the company had sold 25 thousand iPhone 4s since its launch in December. This far exceeded the company's sales rates of both the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS, with the most popular model being the one with 16 GB storage, clearly for being more affordable. 

Availability of iPhone 4 in Indonesia had been very thin since mid January and only in the past week we've seen handfuls of units trickle in to the channel. Apple resellers in Bandung and Jakarta had whatever stock they had depleted in less than two days while Jogjakarta hadn't seen an iPhone 4 in stock in weeks.

At the 3GS launch in February last year, Purnomo projected sales of 25 thousand units for the year, down from 30 thousand for the 3G. When asked about the reduction, he said that he was being conservative as Indonesians were still captivated by BlackBerrys.

This past quarter however, the pull of the iPhone 4 seemed too difficult to resist and Telkomsel had been both blessed and cursed by the surging demand. Its entire stock for the year, based on previous years' sales had sold out in less than a quarter and it's now ruing a missed opportunity. This however would bode well for future orders of iPhones for Indonesia especially with XL coming into the picture as it clearly showed a significantly much stronger demand for the iPhone this time around.

XL's iPhone 4 to come in black and white

Iphone-4-white-black

Following the confirmation that XL is set to release its own batch of iPhone 4s into the Indonesian market, word got out that the company has placed an order for 25 thousand iPhones and that they would be the white variant as opposed to the current black models carried by Telkomsel.

Apple only just yesterday confirmed through a message on Twitter by SVP worldwide product marketing Phil Schiller that white iPhone 4s would ship in spring, which would be between now and June.

XL's launch will therefore probably be timed to match or follow the release date of the white iPhone 4s. However, despite what was said yesterday, we received information that XL's iPhones will not be all white. There will be a mix of both black and white iPhones according to a source and that the company has confirmed the shipment of black iPhone 4s while waiting for word from Apple about the white units.

The prospect of all white iPhones from XL and all black iPhones from Telkomsel as differentiating factors between the two carriers' offerings would be rather intriguing and would make an interesting market study but it looks like we won't be seeing that situation any time soon.

Should you get iPhone 4 from XL?

With Indonesia's XL Axiata releasing the iPhone 4 “in the coming months,” it immediately begs the question posed as the title of this piece. Should you get it from XL?

Since 2009, Telkomsel has been Indonesia's sole iPhone carrier but it hasn't managed to meet the demand for iPhone 4, having sold out since January and is quickly selling out its latest shipment. While sales of iPhone 3G and 3GS were disappointing (50 thousand units in two years combined), Telkomsel can take heart that the iPhone 4 is in extremely high demand, despite having almost no more in stock.

In a few months Apple is expected to release the next version of the iPhone which is clearly still under wraps but word around the web says it will feature at least Near Field Communication, possibly a dual core processor and better graphics processor, matching or perhaps exceeding that of iPad 2.

When the iPhone 4 was launched in the US last year, its hardware specification leapt over that of the original iPad. It is perhaps reasonable to expect the same this time around, although no one can be sure until the actual launch day which is still unannounced.

Historically Indonesia, as well as the rest of Southeast Asia had always been on Apple's last few waves of roll outs. In Indonesia in particular, iPhone 3G was launched in March of 2009, 3GS in February 2010, and iPhone 4 in December 2010.

With the next iPhone looming, should anyone wait for XL to release its iPhone 4?

Telkomsel iPhone 4 pricing

Along with the official announcement of iPhone 4 launch, Telkomsel also revealed its postpaid pricing for kartuHALO customers alongside the prepaid simPATI Turbo outright pricing we reported yesterday.

Iphone4_telkomsel_pricing

Those who wish to purchase iPhone 4 under a postpaid plan will have three options, just as before when it launched iPhone 3G and 3GS and as with before, these plans are active for 12 months. Again, Telkomsel may well be the only mobile operator, if not one of the few, that offers a 12 month commitment as opposed to 24 months.

Unlike simPATI Turbo package, kartuHALO packages do not include sales tax which means the amount you'll find on your monthly bill and what you'll pay up front will be slightly higher than what you see on the list above.

Telkomsel to launch iPhone 4 next week

Iphone4_preorder

Following yesterday's leak of iPhone 4 pricing from Telkomsel, the company today revealed its actual plans for the launch day which will be held this very month. iPhone 4 will be officially available for sale next week, 17-19 December 2010

Unlike in years past when it took Telkomsel somewhere between two to three months following the pre-order period to launch the phones, this time the company wasted little time.

On 17-19 December, Telkomsel will hold two concurrent events in two cities. Jakarta will have its launch at Senayan City while Surabaya will have its launch at Tunjungan Plaza 3 level 5. Events will then continue at Mall Kelapa Gading 3 in Jakarta from the 20th to the 26th.

The first 500 iPhone 4 buyers at each venue on the weekend will receive a free case and Telkomsel customers will receive cash back by redeeming their Telkomsel Poin.

Those who switch their iPhone 4 Simpati Turbo package number and bonuses to their existing kartuHalo postpaid plan will receive an extra 500MB data allowance per month, making it 1GB of data every month for 12 months.

Telkomsel iPhone 4 pricing leaked?

Tselip4brochure

We have received from id-iPhone mailing list what may be Telkomsel's pricing plan for its upcoming iPhone 4 which as of right now is still under pre-order period. We have yet to confirm the authenticity of this leaked brochure but if it is real, it's good news for iPhone enthusiasts. An iPhone reseller partner confirmed the prices to us along with a possible launch location in Jakarta, Score at Cilandak Townsquare.

As it is only one side of the brochure, there's no telling what information are given on the other side. As it stands, the brochure states that the 16GB iPhone will sell for Rp 6,999,000 and the 32GB for Rp 8,199,000 and will include 500MB of monthly data and 20 MMS for 12 months on prepaid plans. This means iPhone 4 in Indonesia could be selling for very slightly less than its iPhone 3GS counterparts which are still selling for 7,1 million and 8,3 million accordingly. 

Bear in mind Telkomsel has historically announced iPhone pricing plan less than one week prior to launch day, so these are not confirmed prices.
