What I've learned over the years with apple (iphone4-iphone 5), and just getting older. It's not worth it to do all lining up just to be the first few to use the phone.

I understand some do this to resell to China but I find if you're using a new product, I don't mind waiting for the first month so you can check out the reviews. Whether the phone has any battery issues or the spring in the power button. I find it that it's wise to just wait and see how good this thing is.

Does he already have a source to sell them all to or is he selling individually through China's buy and sell websites?

Only 15??? I would have expected more from you.

Pretty sure StevenDuang would be flying at least 200+ units back with tonight's midnight flight.

30k CAD profit from a phone...? how much do they sell for in asia holy fuck

ForbiddenX 09-19-2014 03:09 PM

Does anyone have any experience using the App Store in two different countries? I have a bunch of apps that I bought when I had a Canadian credit card attached and now that I have a US one, I cannot download my Canadian apps unless I switch back to a Canadian card and vice versa. Does anyone know if there are work arounds for this?

just go to settings click on itune/app store whatever button. click ur itune user id. change your country to canada or us or vice versa which ever one you are trying to use. select none for credit card. download the stuff you already paid for and done.. as for trying to pay for in app purchase that's from another country.. unless you have that countries credit card.. you are sol

last I saw on fb, ppl from HK r buying phones for $16000HKD and reselling for about $19000HKD to china. google conversion of $19000HKD to CAD is about $2600CAD... these were launch prices for any color 128GB 6+, may be less by now
