iPhone 14 to come earlier than previous models in Vietnam
In this article (5)
Vietnamese might get the new iPhone 14 two weeks earlier than previous models since Apple has lifted Vietnam up a scale in its priority markets.
“The iPhone 14 will be officially sold in Vietnam three weeks after they are launched in major markets such as the U.S., Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan,” a media representative of a retail chain told VnExpress.
Apple has moved Vietnam from the fourth priority level to third, and could make it second or even first within two or three years, he added.
Last year the iPhone 13 was sold in Vietnam four weeks after major markets.
The iPhone 14 is set to be delivered starting September 16 in major markets.
Apple CEO Tim Cook said recently that Vietnam is one of four emerging markets that contributed to the company’s success in the second quarter of 2022.
The company recently appointed Nguyen Thai Hai Van, former managing director of Grab Vietnam, as its first Vietnam country director.
Apple is said to have established a marketing team in Vietnam in June.
