Datastream Digital Sdn Bhd (DST) launched its new Mobi Bundles featuring the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro at the DST Airport Mall branch yesterday, where customers queued as early as 5am.

The event was officiated by DST Chief Operating Officer Ang Kian Han and Bank Islam Brunei Darussalam (BIBD) Deputy Head of Retail Banking Group Junaidi bin Bahrum.

Muhammad, the first customer to buy an iPhone 16 Pro Max, said, “I was assisting a friend in buying the phone. The Mobi Contract Bundle offers great value and is more affordable than the usual prices. I arrived at 5am to avoid long lines since I missed out last year.”

The bundles start at BND989 for the iPhone 16 with the Mobi 80 plan, offering unlimited local calls, SMS and data for a monthly fee of BND80. Data speeds are capped at 512Kbps after 65 Gigabyte usage, ensuring connectivity without extra charges. DST is also running a promotion for BIBD Credit cardholders.

The first 100 customers who use their cards for upfront payments on any iPhone 16 models will receive a BND50 rebate. – James Kon
