The businessman said, “Earlier, the sale of iPhone in Dubai started weeks before the beginning of the sale in India. So, it was a different experience to fly to Dubai to own the new model of iPhone. Now, the sale starts in Dubai and India on the same day. Still, I decided to purchase from Dubai hours before the beginning of sale in India. It gives you a special feeling when you purchase the phone as the first customer when thousands of people are waiting outside the shop”.
