Apple iphone X arrives officially in Cambodia
Apple’s iPhone X to launch November 24 in Kingdom
Thu, 9 November 2017
US tech giant Apple announced yesterday that the new iPhone X will officially hit Cambodian shelves on November 24, giving grey market importers in the Kingdom nearly a month of a head start to sell the latest model that was released in 50 major countries last week.
According to Apple’s announcement, Cambodia is among 13 other countries including Thailand, Malaysia and South Korea where the iPhone X will be officially made available for consumers later this month.
While Apple did not provide details on the price of the phone in Cambodia, the starting price globally for consumers purchasing directly from Apple weighs in at a hefty $999. The company noted that prices may vary through authorised resellers and carriers.
Local telecom giant Smart Axiata and iOne, Cambodia’s leading retailer for Apple products, are the only two authorised sellers of the iPhone in Cambodia.
Nevertheless, local grey market importers said they have already been selling the phone since November 3, albeit at a huge markup.
Chhim Sang Heng, owner of Hak Se phone shop in Phnom Penh, claimed that he has been selling the new model since Friday. While his shop is not an authorised dealer, he said that he has a business arrangement with a partner in Singapore who purchases units and ships them the same day.
He added that he initially was selling the iPhone X for $2,000 a unit during the first few days, but has been gradually lowering the price to $1,320 for the 64GB model and $1,550 for the 256GB model as of yesterday...

Apple/Steve Jobs, a cancer on society.

He can't afford one, hence the contrived wrath.
Believe you me, if he could, he'd get one in a snap and would be contentedly scrolling through his massive hoard of 'The Far Side' and 'Tin Tin' comics with his sweaty sausage fingers, happier than a pig in shit.

Someone's going to be very happy. Mostly He will be.
Always "hope" but never "expect".

The amount of money people are prepared to pay, just to show others they can spend money, funny.

The market dictates the price.
I look at the 3 current flagships. That being the iPhone x, Samsung Note 8 and Google Pixel 2 and I see them all priced within 10% of each other. If the price bothers you, don't buy it.
Having the latest release in tech has always been expensive. It's certainly not a trademark of Apple and Steve Jobs.
