Benefits of shopping at the Apple Store

Apple Stores will also offer student discounts. A third party will verify whether a person is a student or not.
Owners of older iPhones can upgrade to a new model by selling their old device back to Apple. Buyers simply fill out a few simple questions about the condition of their old device, and the system will determine the condition of the device and offer a corresponding price for the new device. The device will be picked up and delivered at the buyer’s location.
In addition, users will receive free shipping on the Apple Store. After purchasing, the goods will be delivered to customers through reputable shipping units.
Shopping Guide is a feature that people can use if they do not know which product is really suitable for their needs. Technical support and sales specialists will all be Vietnamese.

Users will have to wait a long time to connect with a support staff or expert.

Apple will have an installment payment policy for its products through cooperation with MoMo. Providing information and purchasing installments will be convenient and fast, users can perform operations right on the Apple Store online.
