The purchasing power of iPhone 15 series is decreasing, in order to stimulate the demand of Apple enthusiasts amidst a difficult economy, authorized Apple dealers and mobile phone retailers have recently rushed to reduce the prices of this product line, especially the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which has decreased the most, up to 6-7 million VND.
Accordingly, many iPhone users also believe that the listed price of iPhone Pro Max in Vietnam is the lowest compared to other countries in Southeast Asia such as Thailand, Singapore, the Philippines…
According to the Apple Vietnam website, the iPhone 15 Pro Max with 512GB storage capacity is priced at 40.99 million VND and the 256GB version is priced at 34.99 million VND.
Meanwhile, based on surveys at Apple Stores in some countries in the region such as Thailand, the iPhone 15 Promax 512GB version is being sold for 40.3 million VND (57,900 Bath) and the 256GB version is listed at 33.8 million VND (48,900 Bath). In Singapore, the price of the iPhone 15 Promax 256GB version is converted to 36.97 million VND, while the 512GB version is priced at 42.9 million VND, much higher than the listed price in Vietnam.
In other countries without the Apple Store such as Malaysia, the iPhone 15 Pro Max 512GB is listed at 38.9 million VND and the 256GB version is 33.76 million VND…
However, those are the listed prices announced by Apple in each country, while the actual selling prices at retail systems are usually much lower. For example, at Thế Giới Di Động’s Topzone stores, the iPhone 15 Pro Max with 512GB storage capacity is currently priced at 37.99 million VND, and 30.99 million VND for the 256GB version. These prices do not include promotional discounts worth from 50,000 – 200,000 VND if customers pay via e-wallet. These prices have decreased by 3-4 million VND, equivalent to 11% compared to Apple’s prices.
Similarly, at CellphoneS, the price of the iPhone 15 Pro Max with 512GB storage capacity has been reduced to 38.99 million VND, and 30.89 million VND for the 256GB version, for the Green Titan version, not including the accompanying store promotions worth from 200,000 – 300,000 VND. If customers buy through the trade-in method, the price can be reduced by an additional 1-2 million VND. While other color versions are about 1 million VND higher.
The Viettel Store system even “goes big” by listing the price of the iPhone 15 Pro Max 256GB in Blue Titan at only 29.99 million VND.
Based on surveys at some other stores, the selling price of the iPhone Pro Max 512GB is also reduced by 5-7% compared to the listed price, ranging from 37-38 million VND, and the iPhone 15 Pro Max 256GB is reduced by 7-10%, to about 30.5-31 million VND.
In addition, if purchased on e-commerce platforms or through live streams of stores, Apple enthusiasts can hunt for the iPhone 15 Pro Max 256GB version for about 28 million VND.
Second-hand iPhone lock available in Vietnam
In relation to the most popular iPhone 15 version, recently there have been many advertisements for the sale of second-hand iPhone 15 Pro Max with 256GB storage on buying and selling websites and social networks at prices ranging from 20 – 22 million VND (cheaper than the price of new genuine iPhones by 6-7 million VND).
According to a retail iPhone store owner in Thu Duc City, the reason for the surprisingly low price is because they are locked devices (iPhone locked to foreign networks).
