The two latest models of the Apple iPhone were officially sold by FPT from November 13. Until this morning, November 15, the two authorized dealers Viettel and Vinaphone began selling these products.

At the Vinaphone store on Huynh Thuc Khang Street, Hanoi, before the official opening, about 30 people lined up. Mr. Vu Trong Manh, the shop guard, says that over 10 customers waited in front of the shop at about 5 am.

Mr. Phan Hung from Thai Binh province said he was the first who bought an IPhone 5S this morning. Hung said he had to go to Hanoi and waited in front of the store from 1 am.

Meanwhile, at Viettel stores in Ngoc Khanh and Thai Ha streets, Hanoi, some users also queued before 8 am. Unlike Vinaphone, Viettel allowed pre-order of iPhone 5S and 5C from a few days ago.

However, the number of officially-delivered iPhone that the two dealers launched this morning was not too large. At Vinaphone shop on Huynh Thuc Khang Road, iPhone 5S in gold and black colors were sold out quickly after just half an hour after the opening.

A Vinaphone official said that each store had only about 50 iPhone 5S and some of them are in gold yellow. The 16 GB version was sold best since its official price is much lower than the market prices.

At Viettel stores in Hanoi, customers had to draw lots to buy iPhone 5S. In HCM City, a number of Viettel shops are selling iPhone 5S and 5C this afternoon.

At FPT, the iPhone 5S have sold well in the last few days, for the good price and good warranty policy. The gold and dark gray colors are the top choices.

The users seem to dislike the iPhone 5C. Mr. Dang Quoc Tuan, Director of the iShop system in Hanoi, said that in the last two days, the iShop system did not sell a single iPhone 5C, while the number of iPhone 5S was sold out.
