Getting rich is not difficult: After ‘iGai’ costs 500,000 VND, Apple continues to sell SIM poke sticks for 100,000 VND
From April 27, Apple began to allow users to replace the iPhone’s battery, screen, camera … without going to Apple Store stores or authorized stores.
This program is currently only applied in the US, and will later expand to other markets. This seems to be good news for iPhone users because in the past, they all had to bring their iPhone to Apple’s authorized stores for repair at a cheap price or accept a less secure form than Take it to a repair shop that is not approved by Apple.
Apple’s $4 SIM poke stick.
The user’s job is now to sit at home, order the necessary components from Apple’s website to conduct self-repair. At this point, a bit of “trouble” begins to arise.
For example, the battery of iPhone 13 Pro Max is being sold by Apple for $ 71 while if brought to Apple’s service center, the user fee is only $ 69. However, if the user returns the damaged battery to Apple, the price drops to only $47 – which means users can also save about more than 20 USD compared to taking it to a service center.
However, to be able to fix your iPhone – unless you already have the tools to disassemble the device – you will have to rent a tool kit from Apple for $49 for a week.
Searching for components that Apple sells, people discovered that a fairly common “accessory” is a SIM stick – in the group of components that support fixing the SIM tray. This item is being sold by Apple for 4 USD – nearly 100,000 VND.
In Vietnam, if you go to e-commerce sites, users can easily buy SIM sticks for 1,000 VND/stick – 1% of Apple’s selling price. There are even places that sell SIM sticks in batches for 18,000 / 100 sticks, which means 4 USD, users can buy 500 SIM sticks.
In Vietnam, users can buy 100 sticks for 18,300 VND.
Apple’s sale of this accessory reminds people of a washcloth – which Vietnamese people call “iGie” for 20 USD (nearly 500,000 VND) not long ago.
