UAE iPhone Fans Willing to Pay Extra DH1,000 for First-Day Access

iPhone fans in the UAE are excited to get their hands on the iPhone 15, even if it means paying an extra Dh 1,000, above the standard price, for early access.

iPhone pre-orders in Dubai are skyrocketing, with many locals eager to pay a premium to be among the first to own the new device. Local mobile stores are reporting an overwhelming response from customers, with some people willing to pay up to Dh 1,000 more than the standard price to get their hands on the iPhone 15 on the first or second day of release.

“We have received many inquiries about the availability of the new model on 15 and many enthusiasts have told us that they will pay extra to get the phone on the first day,” said Moideen Mustafa, manager at Phone Line.

iPhone 15 pre-orders started in Dubai on Friday at 4 pm, and residents were eager to get their hands on the new device. Some residents, such as Bilal Ahmed, were unable to reserve an iPhone 15 Pro Max in the first days, but they are still planning to buy one on the first day of release, even if it means paying a little extra.
