Xiao Lei’s colleague booked the purple color of iPhone 14 Pro last week. He went to queue up early today to pick up the machine, and a live broadcast will be held in the spot unboxing. According to that colleague, the Apple store was still as long as ever, but it was more normal than in previous years, at least there was no crowd. , however, it may be because they went there early and a large number of users did not arrive, which can be said to have avoided the "peak period". In addition to ordinary consumers and digital enthusiasts, there are also many scalpers who pick up their phones in Apple retail stores. After getting the new iPhone , the first thing they do is to find buyers outside the store and sell at a higher price, taking advantage of the first sale of the new phone to make a big profit. colleagues who went to the tray machine said that the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max will have to add a lot of money to buy from scalpers this year. The Pro will have to be priced at about 1,000 yuan, and the maximum price of the super-large cup will be increased by 1,600 yuan.

What makes Xiao Lei feel outrageous is that the popular iPhone 14 will be priced at 300 yuan. , if you count it like this, scalpers with more machines in your hands can make a lot of money today. After all, there are many friends who cannot get the first release. They also hope to buy a new phone as soon as possible, so it has become the "target" of scalpers.
With the standard version squeezing toothpaste, the iPhone 14 Pro series has become the most pre-ordered model for Apple this year. Especially the iPhone 14 Pro Max. It is said that Apple has prepared a lot of goods for the iPhone 14 Pro series this year, and even temporarily added 20 million units to the supply chain. The popularity can be imagined. However, Xiao Lei believes that Apple will be sold in a short time, and everyone can buy it at the original price. What scalpers earn is only quick money for a while, and you can wait if you don’t rush to buy it.

Besides, the first batch of iPhones will have some quality control problems, such as large gaps in the back cover and abnormal screen display effect. In addition to trying out new things, Xiao Lei actually does not recommend everyone to grab the first release. Once you encounter the above problems, you have to go to the after-sales service to change the phone, which is quite troublesome. The best time to buy a phone is probably to wait for the new iPhone to be launched, or wait for nodes like Double Eleven and 618. You don’t have to add money to the scalpers, and you can save a few hundred more.
