[Apple Orchard] iPhone 8/X availability and discussions [No Sales/Trades/Flip]

[HZYiLong]

I think quite possible. They estimate around 10 million iphones are produced for the first launch wave Nov 3rd, for 55 countries (FYI, iPhone 6S had 13 million in the first wave). Doing some simple math:

• Assuming Singapore has the average, that means 10 million/55 = 182k iPhone X
• Assuming the number is splitted equally for Apple Store Online, Singtel, Starhub, M1, HarveyNorman, Courts and WALK-IN
• That means there will be 26,000 phones available for walk in

Of course this estimation is nowhere near the real number, as apparently the distribution of iPhone X won't be equal everywhere like assumptions above. But my point is: given there are 10 million iPhone released in 55 countries, 1000 phones for people who walk in in Singapore is quite a feasible number.

With that said, I felt the low stock hype was exaggerated. I hope those flipping becareful, it might not earn a lot or easy to let go.

But to be honest, if I went to Q, I won’t sell de lor, the efforts and sweat. Damn! Not worth to sell!

Hopefully Apple Orchard Road can live up to that later too.

Play play around animoji and left liao haha.

Currently got 32 people queueing for online collection. Staff very strict about collection. If your timing in the afternoon, only can collect at that timing.

It’s okay to be late but you cannot collect earlier than your timing.

How's about the walk in queue there? Does the queue grow in the morning? Does everyone have a queue number? What is the biggest queue number now?

 

[Nights]

No more update liao. Store open already?

 

[civicguy]

Any fighting ?

I sense a deadly silence here... It seems like everyone who queued are getting their phone, so there is no noise. The supply shortage might be the hoax spreaded by Apple to push the demand further... Flippers watch out

Walk in queue I think don’t waste time.

If you have pre-paid/preordered, it’s easy peasy. For me my slot 9-930am... went to side Q at 8.55am, enter store at 9.03am. Walk out 10mins later (went to lvl2 to see see look look though)
