5,000 billion VND used by Vietnamese people to buy iPhone 16

After more than 1 month of launching in Vietnam, the preliminary sales and revenue of the iPhone 16 series have just been revealed.

iPhone sales have been affected as the market has not fully recovered. However, the figure of thousands of billions of VND shows that this is a large source of revenue for domestic retailers.

This year is the first year that the iPhone goes on sale right at midnight. Previously, the iPhone 13, 14, and 15 all went on sale from 6 a.m. The number of genuine iPhone 16s sold in Vietnam on September 27 alone reached 37,000 units, mostly the Pro line, helping revenue surpass a trillion VND.

The Gioi Di Dong is considered the best seller in the market when it activated 3,000 devices on the opening night and sold about 60,000 iPhone 16 devices after the first month. The revenue is about 2,000 billion VND. This is the leading retailer in the market with the largest number of points of sale.

FPT Shop delivered 10,000 units on the first day, earning VND300 billion in revenue. The company announced that it sold 40,000 iPhone 16 units, bringing in revenue of about VND1,300 billion.

CellphoneS representative shared that the unit sold about 30,000 iPhone 16s in 1 month and 16 Pro Max accounted for an overwhelming proportion of about 70% of the total.

Thus, the total revenue from the above 3 units is about 4,300 billion VND.

The Southern market recorded little change in iPhone market share among retailers. In which, Mobile World accounted for the majority with about 40 - 45%.

Accordingly, the Vietnamese market is estimated to absorb about 130,000 - 150,000 iPhones in the first month, equivalent to revenue of 4,500 - 5,000 billion VND.
