iStudio Apple Premium Reseller

Handy Apple Reseller At Changi Airport Singapore

iStudio is an Apple premium reseller in Singapore.

Been to several of their stores, Plaza Singapura and at Changi Airport, Terminal 2 and Terminal 3.

If you want to purchase something at the airport while transiting a good idea is to check their website first before arriving to see if they have what you require. All shops have plenty of accessories, but if you are looking to purchase an iPhone, iPad or MacBook make sure to check. Otherwise you can always order online and pickup later. I wanted an Apple Pencil as I bought an iPad Pro 12.9 for my daughter several weeks earlier at home in Australia and the Pencil was out of stock. She wanted the iPad with her so she could draw while on the plane and during our holiday. I checked their website and went to Terminal 2 (as Terminal 3 didn’t have any) and bought the Pencil and a Lightning Cable, both minus the 7 percent GST (tax).

So if you want to purchase something, it is best done at the Airport where the GST is automatically taken out of the price. In other words tax free. If you do it in their other stores you need to either pick up the eTRS ticket or use a credit/debit card as a token and then go through the process when at the airport.

Prices are very similar worldwide. A little more in some cases compared to Australia, but they are there just in case you need Apple accessories. The staff I’ve met over the years have been good too.

Do I recommend shopping at their airport stores? Make sure to get clear answers from the staff and know they have the stock available first. Then I would say yes. Remember though there isn’t much to save buying Apple gear in Singapore unless there is some huge sale or you have accumulated many Changi Dollars (a promotion run by Changi Airport aimed at transiting passengers from certain countries), like I did on another visit when I had $SGD120.00. Then by all means check them out.
