800 people flocked to Apple store on Orchard Road for iPhone X
THE long-anticipated Apple iPhone X was launched in Singapore's Apple store on Nov 3.
As the doors opened at 8am, the horde of fans who had lined up overnight outside the Orchard Road store rushed in. The Apple team began a countdown that roared through the crowd, and welcomed the crowd with huge applause.
Within two hours of the store opening, more than 20 iPhone Xs were being offered for resale on online marketplaces such as Carousell. They were priced at S$2,500 or more, reaping resellers at least S$600 in profit.
