No more queuing up overnight to buy iPhone 17 in Vietnam

(Dan Tri) - Speaking with Dan Tri reporters, representatives of many major retail systems confirmed that the iPhone 17 product line will officially be on shelves and delivered to users in the Vietnamese market from 8:00 a.m. on September 19.

Currently, dealers have opened registration portals for users to receive information about the iPhone 17 product line. By 7:00 p.m. on September 12, customers will be able to pre-order the product.

No more queuing up overnight to receive your iPhone

This is the first year that the Vietnamese market has opened early sales of iPhones, along with other key markets of the company such as the US, Singapore, Japan, etc. At the same time, users no longer have to wait in line overnight to receive their devices.

"The iPhone 17 generation has been strongly upgraded in terms of screen, processor chip, camera system and more optimized battery. We are taking careful preparations so that users can own genuine iPhone 17 from mid-September to October," said a representative of theFPT Shop system.

In previous years, the Vietnamese market opened iPhone sales 1-2 weeks later than many other countries. In order to deliver the devices to users early, dealers chose to deliver at midnight on the opening day. This made customers wait from the night before and queue up all night to receive the device.

This year, Vietnam was upgraded to a Tier 1 market by Apple. As a result, the company also tightened its requirements for retail units.

All authorized dealers will need to comply with Apple's regulations and deliver at the same time. This regulation also makes the situation of users having to queue up to receive iPhone overnight disappear in Vietnam.

iPhone 17 Pro Max will still be the best seller

Apple's early release of the iPhone 17 is good news for many iPhone enthusiasts in the country. Not only that, this is also considered the end of hand-carried iPhones in Vietnam.

"We expect purchasing power to explode as more and more customers prioritize choosing genuine devices to ensure after-sales benefits. Users now no longer have a reason to look for hand-carried goods or go abroad to queue to buy devices," said Mr. Nguyen Minh Khue, representative of the Viettel Store system.

According to predictions from dealers, the iPhone 17 Pro Max version is likely to continue to lead sales in the Vietnamese market during the initial launch period. This has been a typical consumer habit of Vietnamese users for many years.

A representative of the Mobile World system said that based on data from the last 3 iPhone seasons, most Vietnamese customers are interested in the Pro and Pro Max product lines. It is expected that the iPhone 17 Pro Max will continue to lead sales this year.

"Meanwhile, the standard iPhone 17 version will become the choice for customers who want to upgrade from older devices such as iPhone 12 and iPhone 13," said a representative of Mobile World.

The iPhone 17 Pro Max has a series of improvements in design, camera, configuration and battery. The device also integrates the latest technologies such as Bluetooth 6 and WiFi 7. In Vietnam, the network operator FPT has supported WiFi 7 modem so that users can take full advantage of the wireless connection performance of new devices.

This year, the selling price of the iPhone 17 product line has been adjusted to increase sharply compared to previous generations.

Accordingly, the price of iPhone 17 starts from 25 million VND for the 256GB version. iPhone 17 Air has prices starting from 32 million VND for the 256GB version, 38.5 million VND for the 512GB version and 45 million VND for the 1TB version.

The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max duo start at VND 35 million and VND 38 million. This year, the iPhone 17 Pro Max also has a 2TB memory version for the first time, priced at VND 64 million. This is also the highest selling price Apple has ever set for an iPhone.
