Apple fans queue from 5.30am for Singtel iPhone 7 launch

Fans of the newly released Apple iPhone 7 queued outside the Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre from the wee hours of Friday morning (16 September) for Singtel’s iPhone 7 launch.

Friday marks the first day of the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus sales in Singapore. The iPhone 7 has exciting new features as compared to previous models.

The latest iPhone is said to be waterproof and has double the internal capacity of the iPhone 6 released last year. In addition, this new model has done away with a headphone jack and now uses wireless earbuds.

First in line for the iPhone 7 was 38-year-old IT architect Wellson Lee who started queueing at 5.30am.

“I’m actually quite surprised that I managed to be first. I just wanted to be one of the first 40 people to get the iPhone so that I can go to work on time,” Lee said, grinning as he clutched his black 256GB iPhone 7.

Customers can purchase their new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus phones at the Singtel launch at Marina Bay Sands from Friday (16 September) to Sunday (18 September).
