Local newspapers reported that the first batch of iPhone 6S arrived in Vietnam last week, while the first products were sold on September 25.

The iPhone 6S now available in Vietnam were brought to the country across the border gates by travelers, not by ones distributed by authorized dealers. However, their prices are still sky-high.

The cheapest iPhone 6S is now sold for VND23.9 million (16 GB, grey), while the most expensive, 128 GB, is sold for VND37.9 million. Meanwhile, iPhone 6S Plus is sold at no less than VND27.9 million (16 GB, grey).

Vietnamese dealers can easily sell iPhone 6S at such high prices because of the very high demand from buyers. 

An analyst commented that rich Vietnamese are willing to spend big money just to be able to buy iPhone 6S before other people. They are also willing to queue up in front of shops to become the first clients who can touch iPhone 6S of the latest generation.

The analyst predicted that the prices would drop by VND5-6 million when the supply is more abundant.

Meanwhile, a technology expert said he cannot see any significant technological improvement in iPhone 6S in comparison with previous-generation products.

Regarding the operating system, iPhone 6S is installed with the latest version iOS 9.0, while iPhone 6 runs with iOS 8.0. There are no big changes in interface. Meanwhile, 

In terms of design, the expert said, iPhone 6S and iPhone 6 have similar appearance. 

There is only a small difference in size: while iPhone 6S has the width of 67.1 mm and the length of 138.3 mm, the figures for iPhone 6 are 67 mm and 138.1 mm, respectively. Meanwhile, iPhone 6S is even thicker than iPhone 6 (7.1 mm vs 6.9 mm).

Both the versions iPhone 6S and iPhone 6 are made of aluminum as the main material. iPhone 6 is even 14 grams lighter than iPhone 6S. They use the same display technology, have the same screen quality and resolution.

As for processor unit, iPhone 6S uses A9 chip, which is advertised as having the processing efficiency 30 percent higher compared with A8 chip equipped for iPhone 6. However, if the operation speed is just a few percent of one second, this will not be noticed.

There is no detailed information about the chip for graphics, RAM capacity and battery capacity. However, the time limits for voice call, music playing and film watching are nearly the same for both iPhone 6 and iPhone 6S.
