Wow, I haven't been following up with Apple prices for a while and an iPhone costs $2,000 now!? Bizarre that so many people are willing to pay so much for a phone that really is no different from other much cheaper phones.

I understand in a lot of poorer countries like Vietnam, Philippines, Cambodia etc. iPhone is seen as a status symbol like a Hermes bag, but I don't understand why in Singapore it is so popular despite the highly inflated prices.

His one is considered cheap. 256 storage is $2,000 plus.

Buy branded stuff online must be careful. There are always some tell-tale signs. Someone here also bought a fake moonswatch from Lazada.

For phone, if the storage is big and the screen size is big, the battery consumption is very fast. 2-3 hours, iPhone, the battery is halved. By noon, it is left with 25%.

Why not the other way the buyer received the phone and make up story saying he didn’t received ?

The risk is very low if you don’t be like a blur sotong. I have ordered from so many platforms.

Ya, this is why dont listen to 1 side of the story.
Just feedback to Shopee customer service personnel. They are quite friendly.

So big company wont makan your small $$$.
