With the arrival of late October, major e-commerce platforms have successively launched preheating activities about Double 11 promotions. Among the many merchants participating in Double 11 preheating activities, Apple has attracted the attention of many consumers. At present, Apple JD self-operated store has launched related preheating activities, with the theme of "Entertainment is all because of love". As a "pioneer", iPhone 13 has given a 400 yuan active price reduction discount. After the price reduction, the lowest price is 4,999 yuan. Compared with iPhone 14, the difference is 1,000 yuan. Many netizens have questions about this: Is the iPhone 13 worth buying after the price reduction?
We know that price is a key factor in measuring the cost-effectiveness of an electronic product, and in addition to the price, reference objects are also a key factor. Since the iPhone 14 has not been significantly upgraded in appearance and configuration, many netizens not only questioned the iPhone 14's lack of sincerity in upgrading, but also subconsciously regarded the iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 as two mobile phones of the same level, and used these two mobile phones as references for purchase.
That is to say, the difference and price difference between and iPhone 14 has important reference significance for the question of whether iPhone 13 is worth buying.
Comprehensive official information, it can be concluded that the main differences between iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 are as follows:
- processors: both A15, the former has 4 core GPUs, the latter has 5 core GPUs;
- memory configuration: the former is 4GB, the latter has 6GB;
- camera: the parameters are close, the latter has added the optical image engine and sports mode functions;
- others: the former is Bluetooth 5.0, the latter has Bluetooth 5.3, and the latter has new accident detection function.
It is not difficult to see that the main difference between iPhone 13 and iPhone 14 is the processor and memory configuration. iPhone 14 has slightly higher comprehensive performance.
It is worth noting that since the iPhone 13 takes the lead in price reduction, how much will the iPhone 14 reduce its price during this Double 11 event? Judging from the current Apple JD platform, Apple has launched the iPhone 14 trade-in promotion, and you can get a 600 yuan discount for the old trade-in promotion by receiving coupons, which means that for this Double 11 event, iPhone 14 may eventually give the same 600 yuan discount.
In this way, the lowest price of iPhone 13 is 4999 yuan, the lowest price of iPhone 14 is 5399 yuan, and the difference between the two phones is 400 yuan. The iPhone 14, which has slightly better performance and image, is obviously more cost-effective.
To sum up, although the price of iPhone 13 has been reduced due to the preheating of Double 11, the key reference for measuring whether iPhone 13 is worth buying is iPhone 14. Based on slightly higher performance and images, if iPhone 14 also gives active price reduction and the price difference with iPhone 13 is small, then choosing iPhone 14 is more cost-effective; on the contrary, if there is still a significant price difference after the price reduction, then choosing iPhone 13 will be more cost-effective. What do you think about this?
