The experience of using an Apple device is unparalleled. Products designed by Cupertino-based company are known for their cutting-edge feature and of course, the great looks. So, it's only fair some people are crazy about Apple products. None more so than?this Kerala man.
Dheeraj Palliyil, a Kochi-based businessman, travelled all the way to Dubai, to become one of the first owners of the new model of iPhone.?
Palliyil flew to Dubai on Thursday and had to wait in long queues to get his hands on the new product. The wait was finally over as, on Monday, around 7am IST, he got his hands on iPhone 14 Pro from a premium reseller in Mirdif City Centre in Dubai.?
In doing so, Palliyil?became the first person among the hundreds of people who were eagerly waiting outside the Apple store to purchase the new iPhone.?
According to The Times of India, this?is the fourth consecutive time that Palliyil has?purchased a new edition of iPhone on the very first day of sale after travelling to Dubai.?
Palliyil reportedly spent around Rs 40,000 for ticket fare and?splashed?out?Rs 1,29,000 (5,949 AED) for a deep purple coloured 512 GB storage model of the new iPhone.
"It was during the launch of iPhone 8 in 2017 that I came to Dubai first to purchase it," he told TOI.
"I managed to purchase the iPhone 11 Pro Max first from the same seller in Mirdif City Centre when sales started in Dubai in 2019, even weeks before the launch of the model in India. I was also the first customer when the sale of iPhone 12 and iPhone 13, started in Dubai," he added.?
Earlier this month,?Apple launched 8 new products at the Far Out event.?These include:?iPhone 14;?iPhone 14 Plus;?iPhone 14 Pro;?iPhone 14 Pro Max;?AirPods Pro;?Apple Watch Series 8;?Apple Watch SE, and?Apple Watch Ultra.
Apple?wants to make its devices as indispensable as ever. The new iPhones and Apple Watches have a crash detection feature, for example, and your iPhone will be able to send emergency messages via satellite connectivity.
All those additions are on top of the normal enhancements you'd expect ¡ª a new chipset for the iPhones, camera improvements across the iPhone lineup, a temperature sensor and low-power mode for the Apple Watch, and improved audio features in the AirPods Pro 2.??
