On the occasion of the upcoming release of Apple’s new iPhone, the old second-hand iPhone should increase its price.
Recently, Wise Finance learned from various second-hand channel vendors that the current price of second-hand iPhones is on the rise, with iPhone X rising by about 300 yuan, iPhone 8 series of around 150-200 yuan, and iPhone XS series of 200-300 yuan. about.
It is reported that there are two main reasons for the increase in the price of second-hand iPhones. One is that users expect a decline in the new iPhone, and the other is that there is no difference between the new iPhone and the old iPhone. And the new generation of iPhone does not support 5G is an important factor for most consumers to buy.
“There are still many old models. The most shipped today is X, followed by the 8 series.” A Zhongguancun second-hand channel dealer said to Wise Finance. At the same time, there are still many downstream merchants who come to get goods. They mainly come from mobile phone shops in various districts of Beijing.
A mobile phone shop owner said that the iPhone will have an increase every year, usually before and after the new machine. The reason is that Apple’s new machine will almost always be exposed before, which will greatly affect consumers’ desire to buy new machines. “When everyone sees the new machine, there is no function, who is going to buy a new machine? It is estimated that all the yellow cattle in the same industry are bought.”
According to him, the privacy of the new iPhone is not as good as it used to be, and many features and appearances will be revealed in advance. “This has not happened before. It is generally the market of the second mobile phone after the release of the new machine.
Whether the sale of 5G mobile phones will have an impact on second-hand iPhones, many channel operators said that they are not worried about this issue at present. “The first-tier cities will have some impact, but the real popularity of 5G has to be one or two years. You see that I have no signal, and 4G is still the main force.”
Another channel store owner said that the 4G mobile phone market still exists, and the second, third and fourth-tier cities are still the main buyers. “It’s all 5G news, but is 5G really so easy to use? I don’t think it will be for two years.”
At present, the production capacity of 5G mobile phones is still limited, especially Huawei’s first 5G mobile phone has become the scent of mobile phone channel vendors. Online channel under the machineThe premium once reached 500 yuan.
It is reported that because the mobile phone supports SA/NSA dual mode, it is sought after by many consumers. However, this mobile phone directly displays the out-of-stock words after the e-commerce releases the goods, which shows that the inventory is extremely limited, and whether it is actually released. It is doubtful. As a result, many consumers have spit on Weibo.
5G phones don’t work, and most consumers choose second-hand 4G phones for iterative transition. Among these models, the choice of iPhone is very large. On the one hand, due to the high value preservation of the iPhone, on the other hand, the stability of the used iPhone is better than that of the used Android machine. Therefore, consumers who purchase the second mobile phone still choose the iPhone.
According to the channel, there are as many as 50 used iPhones that can be sold every day, and this has not been added to the number of shipments to the outside.
“The card sticker machine is the cheapest now, that is, the network lock must be used in conjunction with the crack card.” It is understood that this kind of machine is generally nearly 1,000 yuan cheaper than the lock-free machine, because the high cost performance has also been not Less consumers favor. But the machine also has certain risks, after all, once the cracking of the vulnerability is blocked, it can only sit still.
A channel provider said to Wise Finance, “The most afraid of being blocked, once you are blocked, you have to wait for the next loophole, but often it is a month.” That is, he is in this month. The cracker that is in your hand will not be sold, so the damage can only be borne by yourself.
A number of second-hand channel vendors said that Apple will generally block the loopholes in the lock-up machine before releasing the new machine, because it will inevitably affect the sales of new machines. “If everyone buys a second-hand lock machine, the new machine sells it.”
And for this year’s new machine, there are also many Apple channel vendors that will see the market. “I don’t plan to enter too many goods this year, or I have to press my hand again.”
“There is a new color match this year, but the situation is not optimistic. Just like XSM had gold last year, it broke the next day.” They are generally pessimistic about Apple’s market this year, although they still have a new color match. Can not stop the decline of Apple.
“Or continue to sell two mobile phones, but also insurance, the ups and downs will not be too large.” A second-hand channel dealer finally said.
