The certificate costs 25 thousand rubles and is already available in the MTS online store. Upon receipt of the device, the customer will have to pay the remaining amount, minus the funds already deposited. The press service of the company RB.RU reported that after the official presentation of Apple, MTS representatives will contact each certificate holder and clarify the details of the order.
Note that MTS introduced this practice for the first time in 2023. At the pre-order stage, 57% of certificate holders ordered the most popular iPhone 15 Pro Max. Most often they were purchased in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Krasnodar Territory, Belgorod Region and Yakutia.
“In Russia, as well as around the world, there is traditionally a great interest in Apple technology. There are a huge number of people who want to be among the first to buy new items. For example, last year, the share of certificates for the purchase of the iPhone 15 line accounted for 31% of the total number of pre-orders,” says Andrey Gubanov, general director of the MTS retail network.
He also said the company is confident that demand for new products this year will not be any less high.
Earlier, RB.RU reported that Apple had begun developing a smart home device with a display and a robotic hand.
