Hand-carried iPhone 7 begins to appear in Vietnam at 'exorbitant' prices

(Baonghean.vn) - Today, September 16, is the day that Apple officially delivers iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus in some countries around the world. Very quickly, the first portable devices were brought to Vietnam, of course in small quantities and at a not-so-pleasant price.

Only 28 countries will receive the iPhone 7 duo in the first batch, including China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore. These are also the countries where merchants will buy to “carry” to Vietnam as soon as possible.

Currently, due to the scarcity of goods, the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus have quite high prices compared to the genuine price. According to a store in Ho Chi Minh City, the 128GB iPhone 7 will cost 34.2 million VND, while the Black color (matte black) is 1 million VND more expensive. The iPhone 7 Plus is rarer and costs from 37.2 million VND. There will only be a few memory and color versions due to the limited quantity of goods brought in.

To buy the first iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, merchants had to camp out in front of the Apple Store 2 days ago to line up. Therefore, it is not surprising that customers in Vietnam have to spend a lot of money if they want to own the hottest device today as soon as possible.

Although the iPhone 7 has not changed much in design, it has added two new colors: matte black (Black) and glossy black (Jet Black), which are also the two most sought-after colors by users. Of which, the most beautiful color, Jet Black, was announced by Apple to be "sold out" just a few hours after it was released for sale.

The iPhone 7 is expected to be officially sold in Vietnam on October 15 with prices starting at VND18.3 million for the iPhone 7 and VND21.9 million for the iPhone 7 Plus. As mentioned above, if you want to be one of the first to own an iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus, you will have to spend about VND35 million for the hand-carried version. Of course, the price of hand-carried iPhones will "cool down" in the coming days when the supply is more abundant./.
