With the arrival of National Day, many netizens have started a 7-day holiday model, and the offline market has ushered in a peak sales season. Among them, the mobile phone market has attracted the attention of many consumers, especially the latest Apple iPhone 14 series. As we all know, due to different supply and demand situations, two of the three new models launched in the iPhone 14 series have a premium in the spot market. For users who want to buy this new phone during the National Day holiday, although the premium in the spot market of is confusing, it also raises a question: What is the spot market of the iPhone 14 series during the National Day holiday? Is it worth buying?
During the National Day holiday, the spot market of iPhone 14 series
According to offline third-party sellers, the sales quotations for iPhone 14 series on the National Day on October 1st, the 128G, 256G and 512G versions are:
- iPhone 14: 5980 yuan, 6680 yuan, and 7980 yuan.
- iPhone 14Pro: 8800-9000 yuan, 9500 yuan, 11300 yuan.
- iPhone 14ProMax: 9800-10200 yuan, 10700-11000 yuan, 12700-12900 yuan.
Relevant industry insiders believe that due to the National Day holiday, the spot market price of iPhone 14Pro & 14ProMax has increased slightly compared to the end of September. However, with the start of a new round of Apple's shipment on October 2, the premium in the spot market will be reduced. However, it should be noted that the ordering period of the official Pro models has been scheduled to mid-November, which also shows that the premium phenomenon in the spot market will continue for a period of time.
During the National Day holiday, is the iPhone 14 series worth buying?
From the above content, it can be seen that the iPhone 14 has completely broken the issue price, and the Pro model still has a premium of nearly 1,000 yuan in the spot market. Moreover, according to the analysis of relevant industry insiders, the Pro model will still maintain a premium during the National Day holiday. Based on this situation, whether the three new iPhone 14 series are worth buying can be considered by the following:
- iPhone 14: For users with a budget of more than 5,000-6,000, the comprehensive break of this new phone is undoubtedly good news. It should be noted that the biggest pain point of this phone is that it has not made much progress compared to 13. The biggest highlight is that the memory is upgraded to 6GB. The upgrade of memory means that the service life of 14 is better than 13. Currently, the offline price of 13 is 5,200/6,000 yuan, which is not much different from the spot price of 14. If we look at this aspect, the iPhone 14 is worth buying.
- iPhone 14Pro & 14ProMax: For users with a budget of 10,000 yuan, the Pro model is undoubtedly a good choice. The biggest highlight of this phone lies in the improvement of performance, screen and image. However, it should be noted that the phone currently has a premium of nearly 1,000 yuan in the spot market, and is expected to return to normal prices in November. This means that the new phone bought through the price increase may drop by more than 1,000 yuan in one month. For users who pursue cost-effectiveness, it is obviously not worth buying at this time.
