According to Tri Thuc - Znews, the iPhone 17 series is the first generation that Apple sells in Vietnam at the same time as the world . Domestic users will no longer have to wait for products for a long time like previous years.

The above information was confirmed by Apple's authorized dealer, distributor and media company participating in the upcoming sales program.

“The product launch event will take place on September 9. The product will be sold 10 days later, on September 19,” NC, an employee of an Apple device distributor in Vietnam, told Tri Thuc - Znews .

According to this person, the launch event will take place on Tuesday or Wednesday, immediately after which the company opens pre-orders for priority markets. Apple's phone delivery schedule is fixed on Friday, usually the week after the launch, that is, after about 10 days.

Last year, the company released the genuine iPhone 16 series in Vietnam just about a week after the “group 1” markets. With information from the distributors, it is likely that this year Vietnamese users will receive the iPhone 17 on the same day as Australia, Singapore or the US.

Dealers usually deliver the device right at 0:00 on the delivery date. Thus, in just one month, the iPhone 17 will reach Vietnamese users.

In May, a company said it told dealers to “plan for an earlier launch of the new iPhone.” Business planning meetings were also held a month earlier. The company recently finalized a plan to launch the iPhone 17 on September 19.

The early sale of the iPhone 17 is good news for domestic customers in need. Users no longer have to wait to own the product. On the other hand, the scene of queuing in neighboring countries such as Singapore and Thailand to carry Apple phones by hand may also completely disappear.

Shortening the time gap between domestic and international iPhone sales is also a long-term trend. From the previous gap of nearly 3 months, Vietnamese users now only have to wait about 7 days. This is not only true for iPhones, but also for MacBooks and accessories.

In Southeast Asia, Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia are group 1 markets, with Apple Stores and sales on the first day of the sale. Vietnam currently only has an online store. There are also countries where Apple Stores are built but sales are very late, such as Korea.

According to many sources, the iPhone 17 Pro/Pro Max will have a major change in the rear design. In particular, the expensive iPhone will have a zoom camera upgraded by the company. The price of the device is also likely to increase slightly compared to the previous generation.
