iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus are here in Singapore. As per every iPhone launch in the recent years, Singtel has held the event at Marina Bay Sands (MBS).
If you happened to be on social media, you might already see some of your friends posting pictures of them.
This time, it is interesting because Apple has launched 3 iPhones and only 2 have arrived. The hottest one, the iPhone X, will only be here from November. I am sure Singtel will host such an event for the iPhone X (my opinion).
Check out the picture above. They are the first 10 Singtel customers to get hold of the iPhone 8 or 8 Plus. And here is the Media Release.

A Singtel customer since 2008, Mr Eng’s first iPhone was the iPhone 3G. “I’m very excited to be the first Singtel customer in Singapore to get the new iPhone 8 Plus. I got one in Space Grey and another in Gold – I’ll let mom choose which colour she wants!”
