Apple has re-released iOS 18.3, but this time specifically for a special line of iPhones that are six years old and are still being sold officially in Vietnam as new products.
Despite being on the market since 2019 and having been discontinued by Apple for a long time, authorized Apple dealers in Vietnam still sell the iPhone 11.
Apple is offering significant discounts on its products to boost sales during the off-peak shopping season, while also preparing for the launch of the iPhone 14.
Although not yet officially launched, the domestic iPhone 12 market is already buzzing with speculation about pricing, arrival dates in Vietnam, and a range of accompanying accessories.
The iPhone 11 has just been discounted by 300.000 to one million VND at many retailers. According to the stores, this is a move to make way for the iPhone 12.
Less than half a year after being available in official stores, the prices of the iPhone 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max have fluctuated and are no longer at the announced prices.
In a tweet sent on October 25th, US President Donald Trump, who currently uses a government-issued iPhone, complained about the phone lacking a Home button.
For only 30.490.000 VND, customers can immediately own the genuine iPhone 11 Pro Max, saving several million VND compared to the current market price, and receive an additional 1GB of data and 200 minutes of MobiFone internal calls per month for 12 months.
At around 7 PM on September 19th, a pizza shop brought 50 boxes of pizza to hand out to people waiting to buy the new iPhone, but Apple employees stopped them and asked them to leave.
Experts consider the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max to be the best smartphones currently available, especially in terms of camera, but they don't see significant differences compared to the previous generation.
