As Apple unveiled its newest iPhone model – branded “the future of the smartphone”, with its full-display design and an arsenal of features such as seamless support for facial recognition – a number of Hongkongers are already planning to make money reselling the devices across borders.
Hong Kong, mainland China and Taiwan are among the first of 55 countries and territories where one can pre-order the most expensive iPhone ever, the iPhone X (pronounced “iPhone 10”), from October 27 at a minimum price of US$999. Purchases of either its 64-gigabyte or 256-gigabyte versions start from November 3.
