MTS reported that it was among the first Russian retailers to begin selling virtual certificates for the iPhone 16. They allow you to be among the first in Russia to receive the new product.
The cost of the virtual certificate is 25 thousand rubles. You can buy it in the MTS online store, the cost is paid when buying a smartphone. That is, you will only need to pay the remaining amount.
Virtual certificates for iPhone first appeared in MTS last year. The most popular smartphone at the pre-order stage was iPhone 15 Pro Max (57% of certificates sold). The TOP regions in terms of demand for services include:
► Moscow
► Saint Petersburg
► Krasnodar region

In Russia, as in the rest of the world, there is traditionally great interest in Apple technology. The number of people wishing to purchase new products is, first of all, great. For example, last year, the share of certificates for the purchase of the iPhone 15 series was 31% of the total number of pre-orders. We are confident that the demand for new products will be no less high this year.
— CEO of the MTS retail network Andrey Gubanov
MTS specifies that immediately after the official presentation of Apple, MTS employees will contact each certificate holder to clarify the details of the order.
