This year, the "scalper" made a big profit with the iPhone 14 Pro series - the iPhone 14 Pro series currently needs to be purchased at an additional price, but compared with the initial stage of its launch, the current price increase is very low. The main reason is that Apple has improved the production capacity of the iPhone 14 Pro series, so the cycle of consumers directly purchasing from the official is greatly shortened.
Of course, although the iPhone 14 Pro series can be purchased officially, the delivery cycle is not certain, and some consumers have a long delivery cycle; therefore, in order to get the machine in advance, many consumers still choose to buy from "scalpers".
iPhone14 and iPhone14 Plus have no highlights, so the sales and popularity of the machine are not very high; while the iPhone14 Plus, which was launched recently, "breaks the issue price" on the day it was launched - the price of third-party channels was up to 600 yuan lower than the official website. The "breaks" of the listing price means that the phone has not won the market recognition, and it also hits the scalpers who want to raise prices!
As the "middle cup" in the iPhone 14 series, the iPhone 14 Plus has a large screen and a large battery, and other configurations are almost the same as those of the iPhone 14 - Apple's A15 chip full-blood version, 6GB of running memory, 12-megapixel dual camera, and 60Hz screen. The other configurations are fine, but this 60Hz screen has really discouraged many consumers. The starting price of
iPhone14 Plus is 6999 yuan, but it is still the previous generation chip and a 60Hz refresh rate screen. At present, the price of iPhone13 Pro in many channels has dropped to around 7,500 yuan. The latter seems to be the better choice - the same full-blooded version of Apple A15 chip, the same 6GB running memory, but it has an additional 120Hz refresh rate screen and a more powerful camera module.
For this machine, many netizens expect the price to be 5,000 yuan. Xiaozhai also believes that it is more reasonable to sell the machine for 5,000 yuan. After all, it is an old chip and a 60Hz screen. It is indeed not suitable to sell such a machine for 7,000 yuan; in addition, the top version of the machine is priced at tens of thousands of yuan, and the 60Hz refresh rate screen is unique at this price.
Apple wants to attract consumers to buy Pro series machines through differentiation, but the configuration of the standard version and Plus version is too shabby; there are reports that the next generation of iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus still has a 60Hz refresh rate screen, but it adopts the "Lingdong Island" appearance design. So are you looking forward to the next generation of standard version and Plus version of iPhone?
