1. How much does the iPhone 12 Plus (iPhone 12 Max) cost?
Considered as a new member of the 2020 iPhones, the iPhone 12 Plus is expected to have a price starting from 749 USD - approximately 17.42 million VND. The iPhone 12 Plus will also offer 2 internal memory options: 128GB or 256GB. However, this price is only in the US.
