Huawei Singapore staff were seen giving free power banks to the group hoping to purchase Apple iPhones yesterday with a message “Here’s a power bank. You’ll need it. Courtesy of Huawei.” on the box.
The fuuny incident was reported by Singapore-based Tech360.tv, which posted images of the activity at the Orchard Road Apple store. It was comprehended that around 200 power banks were given out that night and the unexpected giveaway had set off a smaller than normal craze as a few people were seen chasing the staff with the expectation of free power banks.
