<\/p>\nApple reported a\u00a0record number of first day pre-orders of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. In just 24 hours, 4 million units were snapped up. This is expected as many consumers are waiting for an iPhone with bigger screen size. And Apple not only deliver one but two options of bigger screen iPhone for them.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What is interesting from my observation is that China is not in the first or second tier of countries to get the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. This can only mean that the rich in China will try all means to get their hand on the latest Apple devices.<\/p>\n
First Tier Countries<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
US, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Puerto Rico, Singapore and the UK<\/p>\n
Second\u00a0Tier Countries<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Isle of Man, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey and United Arab Emirates.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
On the grey or black market in Asia, I believe many people will be willing to pay a higher price to get their hands on an unlocked version of the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus. Not sure why Apple drop China from the list of initial countries. But Apple will not even feel a dent since the demand is so high.<\/p>\n
Anyway, congrats to Apple on their success. For Singaporeans, you can get the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus via the Telcos (SingTel, StarHub, M1) or through the Apple Store.\u00a0You can pre-order now on Apple Store but I think the delivery will be in October (since most, if not all, are unavailable now).<\/p>\n
