UAE witnessed a surge in international buyers as they flew in with the opportunity to sell devices at an even higher cost in their home countries. These buyers were willing to pay a premium of Dh1,500 to Dh2,500 above the retail price to get their hands on the device.
Some resellers in the UAE faced massive financial losses, with some losing as much as Dh200,000. This came as supply flooded the market and prices significantly dropped within days.
