Apple launched the new iPhone 13 line-up on Tuesday, comprising iPhone 13 mini (5.4-inch display) with a starting price of 25,900 baht, iPhone 13 (6.1-inch) with a starting price of 29,900 baht as well as the more advanced iPhone 13 Pro (6.1-inch) with a starting price of 38,900 baht and iPhone 13 Pro Max (6.7-inch) with a starting price of 42,900 baht. "In the first two weeks, iPhone 13 Pro Max is likely to see a shortage of supply, similar to what happened with the similar model last year," he said. The launch of iPhone 13 series will help drive sales volume of iPhones in Thailand in the fourth quarter, he said, noting iPhone is already in the top 5 brands in shipment volumes.
