is the Apple scalper incident recently. Since the overall mobile phone market has shown a downward trend, these scalpers thought they could take advantage of the popularity of Apple and make a fortune. However, they did not expect that everyone's consumers were very rational and would rather wait a moment than spend money in vain, so they lost...
As a classic photo of scalpers, we can see that these scalpers were directly unsold in the environment of ignoring the economic downturn/everyone's pockets had no money.
As for some friends, they may say that scalpers cannot suffer any losses. As long as they are not Kaifeng, the original price will be pushed to Apple. But you don’t think about it. Will scalpers buy iPhones at the original price? That must have been purchased from the first batch of users at a higher price. Not to mention whether there are invoices that can be returned to Apple, if you sell them at this original price, you will definitely lose money. What’s even more exaggerated is that some netizens shared their experiences that they sold them to scalpers at 1,600 in the morning of the first release, and bought them back at the original price of 100 in the afternoon. They made a net profit of 3K in 36 hours. Thank you, Scalpers... I’ll find you next year.
Recently, there were screenshots posted by dealers. He spent 764,000 yuan to purchase the iPhone 14 series, and the final sales were more than 750,000 yuan. He lost a lot of rice, but he actually lost a iPhone 14 Pro.
Now it seems that scalpers want to make thousands of dollars like the iPhone in the past, that is a delusion.
In addition to the scalpers, there is also information feedback from dealers through multiple channels. The price of the standard version of iPhone 14 has completely broken the issuance, and the prices of some channels are lower than the prices of Apple's official website.
Currently, the official website of the 128GB version of iPhone 14 is priced at 5999 yuan, but the channel price of is already 5910 yuan, the official website of 256GB version is priced at 6899 yuan, the channel price is about 6600 yuan, the official website of 512GB version is priced at 8699 yuan, the channel price is directly 7730 yuan, and the highest price drop is nearly 1,000 yuan.
As for other Pro series that are available for sale, it still looks strong, but the price is updated every day, and the overall trend is showing a downward trend. The reason why
iPhone 14 "collapsed" after three or four days of its launch is that Apple is not sincere enough. Not to mention the appearance, just compare the configuration. It is not much different from iPhone 13, and the price is 5,999 yuan. Why not buy iPhone 13?
In this regard, some industry insiders said that if demand for iPhone 14 and the iPhone 14 Plus that has not yet been released does not improve, Apple may adjust its shipment forecast within a few weeks and cut its orders.
What do you think about this?
