The mobile phone market in Viet Nam began in 1994 with only 3200 users. Today, there are 148.5 million (VietnamNet 1). Many people are using smart phones and one of the favorite brands is Apple, especially in Viet Nam where there is one of the fastest growing smart phone markets. Thanks to the growing domestic economy, Vietnamese people have more disposable income for smart phones. Despite the fact that many people in the world prefer using Android, Apple still is the best smart phone choice for Viet Nam. Apple, with its large offering of applications (apps), user-friendly technology, and superior speed compared to other brands make it the best smart phone option for consumers in Viet Nam.
The first advantage of Apple as the best choice for Vietnamese smart phone users is its large offering of apps. According to Forbes, there were 998,919 apps as of Dec 9 and 138 apps being added everyday. Nowadays, not only are children addicted to video games but adults too.
