The iPhone 11 series has been officially sold in Vietnam since November 1, 2019, with the cheapest price belonging to the standard iPhone 11 version, 64 GB memory is 21.99 million VND. After nearly 5 years on the shelves, this device is still doing well and has undergone many price reductions. Currently, some AARs list the device at 9.69 million VND, belonging to the mid-range segment of the market.
Apple has stopped selling the iPhone 11 in many markets after introducing the iPhone 14 series in September 2022. Even the online Apple Store in Vietnam no longer has this product. But a few markets, including Vietnam, still sell new devices through AARs. This is not inventory, instead Apple continues to produce. Dealers in Vietnam confirmed that there are no signs of limited supply so far, but only two colors are sold: white and black.
iPhone 11 is still attractive in Vietnam
According to a representative of the FPT Shop system, the iPhone 11 contributes a significant proportion to the total iPhone sales from here, showing that the iPhone launched 5 years ago still retains a certain appeal. "The iPhone 11 is still in the company's business product line in the low-price segment, so the system is selling it at all stores. Supply is still fully guaranteed throughout the system," Mr. Nguyen The Kha - Commercial Director of the FPT Shop system shared with Thanh Nien .
This AAR leader also commented that an old-generation high-end product (like the iPhone 11) from Apple when sold at a low price will be much more attractive than a new device but positioned as "low price". The reason given is that iPhone users in Asia, especially Vietnam, always prefer Apple's high-end product line.
"High-end phones have a high level of product completion and at the same time give users a sense of enhanced experience. Products positioned as cheap, even new ones, cannot solve the above two points," said Mr. Kha.
Sharing the same view, Ms. Phung Phuong - media representative of the Mobile World system said that iPhone 11 is always the preferred choice of users thanks to its more stable experience compared to used products in the same segment. "Currently, this is also a cheap iPhone model that meets well, almost all the needs for features on the iOS operating system," Ms. Phuong added.
The iPhone 11 has been consistently among the best-selling smartphones in Vietnam for a long time since its official launch. In 2022 alone, statistics compiled by AAR and market research firms confirmed that this model was the phone with the best sales and revenue at retail chains across the country.
However, users should also consider when choosing a product with a fairly "deep" lifespan at this time. According to tradition, Apple will support software updates for the iPhone for 5 consecutive years since its launch, which means the iPhone 11 has reached the limit of its life cycle and iOS 18 (expected to be introduced at WWDC 2024 in June) will probably be the last major operating system version that this device can update.
With a lifespan of up to 5 years, the iPhone 11 is no longer powerful in terms of configuration but only meets the needs of common use. iPhone 11s with high operating system versions may not be as smooth as expected, and there is a risk of battery draining quickly, the device overheating abnormally during use if it regularly handles heavy tasks such as playing games, watching videos for a long time...
