Ooredoo’s iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus launch event at its HQ1 on Friday night was described “a huge success”.
The event, which was open to those who pre-ordered the new iPhone, gave new device owners the chance to try out their phones with other Apple enthusiasts, as well as speak to Ooredoo’s iPhone 8 specialists.
The devices, which are now available in main Ooredoo branches across Doha via the eShop, feature a new glass and aluminium design in three finishes — space grey, silver, and a new gold; the devices start at just QR2,949.
As well as Ooredoo customers, a host of Ooredoo employees attended the event including Ooredoo COO Yousuf Abdulla al-Kubaisi.
On top of the new iPhone devices, the new Apple Watch Series 3 (GPS), which includes intelligent coaching features, water resistance to 50m, a 70% faster dual-core processor, and a barometric altimeter, is now available in Ooredoo’s shops and via the eShop.
Ooredoo is an official distributor of Apple in Qatar, and the strong connection between the two companies means that customers can enjoy the latest software upgrades and the security of a one-year guarantee for iPhones.
The new iPhones also have the option to manually switch on VoLTE, which provides crystal-clear voice quality over Ooredoo’s 4G Supernet network.
To enable VoLTE, iPhone users have to update their iPhone to the latest iOS version (at least iOS 10.3.0), then go to Settings — Cellular – Cellular Data Option – Enable 4G, and then ‘Voice & Data’ should be selected.
