At a store in Ho Chi Minh City, the iPhone 13 ordering program was implemented from September 11, three days after news that Apple was preparing to hold an event.
Some other major systems post information about Apple smartphones in the form of rumors and users can leave contact information if interested in the product.
`After two days of opening for sale, the store received about 60 iPhone 13 deposit orders, including people who bought 2-3 units,` said Mr. Xa Que Nguyen, Director of a mobile retail system in Ho Chi Minh City.
The website of a retail system in Ho Chi Minh City announced that 40 customers had deposited iPhone 13.
Ordering iPhones before the product is announced is not new.
A representative of an Apple authorized store (AAR) explained: `Apple only allows authorized retailers to open pre-orders a short time before the product goes on sale. Order time is usually only about a week.`
According to this person, the `Apple standard` iPhone selling process takes place in three stages.
`As an authorized partner, the store is required to comply with this regulation. Therefore, most large stores in Vietnam do not allow pre-orders until the allowed time,` this person added.
