Huawei Trolls Apple Fans! Gifts Powerbanks To People Queuing For The iPhone XS

If you’re an iPhone user, I would suggest you take a deep breath, calm down and enjoy the friendly trolling by Huawei. Because let’s admit it, there’s no freaking need to queue up to buy the brand new iPhone. Like all things in life (e.g. waiting until the plane reaches a halt at the runway), this too can wait.

Huawei staff were spotted giving out free powerbanks to Apple fans queueing overnight for the new iPhone Xs and Xs Max in front of the Apple Store along Orchard Road. Well played, Huawei!

Kudos to the marketing team at Huawei for this sneaky little stunt. You have our blessings (*cough* Android users *cough*)

Well played Huawei! Now can you send me that powerbank too, I’m not on iPhone, but my battery dies too, you know! 🙁
