  "account": "Maxis is offering customers the opportunity to finance their iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max purchases through a 48-month installment plan. This is part of a trend among telcos, as they also extended this option to Samsung foldable devices two months ago. While this provides more financing options, it may lead to choice paralysis. The 48-month option is only available for certain Maxis postpaid plans, including 139, 169, and 199. For those who prefer to pay upfront, there are also subsidised prices available for the device, but customers will need to pay the full amount upfront and have it rebated over a 24 or 36-month period.\n\nCelcomDigi, on the other hand, offers iPhone 18 Pro-related plans through the Easy360 instalment option. All these plans are available for a range of postpaid plans, starting from the Postpaid 5G 100 2026 tier, up to the Postpaid 5G 190 2026 plan. As customers move up the tiers, they gain more perks. For instance, the 100 plan offers 500GB of mobile data per month, while the 120 and 140 plans come with a 50% discount on roaming passes and an AirTag with eligible add-ons. The 160 and 190 plans replace the AirTag with AirPods Pro 3. It's important to note that, despite Easy360 being the only purchase option, customers are required to pay for the device upfront, with that amount being rebated over their chosen 24 or 36-month period. To view the prices, customers must log into the CelcomDigi site with their phone number and MyKad number.",
