1. What is the reasonable selling price of the Apple iPhone 12 series?
The price of new Apple iPhone models is usually affected by the model.Supply quantity (supply and demand situation)、Door number washing machine spaceandSales strategies for individual channelsThere is a premium (rare) or discount market.The most credible way to understand the latest market trends of the new iPhone 12 series is to go to the [ePrice website] to check the lowest price of this model and to go to major [famous telecommunications stores] to refer to their quotations for new iPhones.
The lowest price on [ePrice website] usually represents the lowest cost obtained by the communication bank, and the quotation from [Famous Communication Store] usually represents the lowest possible transaction price. Therefore, if you see a price on social networks that is lower than the price marked in these two places, you can conclude that it is a bluff or a scam.
According to the [lowest price on the ePrice website] and [quotation on the official website of famous communication stores], the current quotations of iPhone12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max, and iPhone 12 Mini are all compared to the quotations on Apple’s official website. iPhone12 has already seen a 3~5% discount due to sufficient supply; iPhone 12 Pro 128GB is even sold at a premium due to serious shortages.
If you refer to the price of the previous generation iPhone 11 or SE2, you can see that the maximum discount for older iPhones is 90%, and 94% to 95% is a more common price. If you deviate from these discount prices, there must be something fishy. Don’t be greedy for petty advantages and fall into the trap of fraud.
2. Where is the most cost-effective place to buy an empty iPhone 12 series?
The cheaper channels for purchasing an empty iPhone 12 series are often through famous telecommunications stores, Costco, and online store platforms. All three channels have their own advantages, but the favorable prices also mean that the supply of goods is unstable. Popular models are easily out of stock, so you have to try your luck.
The following are suggestions for purchasing empty iPhone 12 models:
A.iPhone 12:
Since iPhone 12 is currently in large supply, there is a lot of room for discounts. If you shop around, it’s not difficult to find a sales channel that can offer a discount of more than $1,000. Currently, the lowest price among all channels is found in the Communication Channel. If you are willing to buy with cash, you can consider it. In addition, because online shopping platforms and stores currently have many promotional activities at the end of the year, if they are combined with promotional activities, it is also a good way to save money.
B. iPhone12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max:
Currently, iPhone12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max are almost always sold at the recommended selling price, and the cheapest sales channel is COSTCO.
However, most of them are out of stock on COSTCO’s official website or stores. The moderator’s suggestion is that as long as you can buy it at the recommended selling price and have it in stock, it’s worth buying!
C.iPhone 12 mini:
Since the iPhone 12 mini has just been launched today (11/13), it is still on sale at the recommended selling price. but. The moderator believes that the small-screen iPhone 12 mini is not very popular in Taiwan, and there should be room for discounts in the future. If you are not too anxious to grab the first wave, you can wait for the December 12 or Christmas period, and you should have the opportunity to enjoy discounts.
As the launch of 5G drives the sales of 5G mobile phones, the moderator believes that the new iPhone 12 series should be able to sell well until around the Lunar New Year next year. Therefore, the discount space for purchasing new iPhone 12 series models should not exceed 5%. The popular iPhone 12 Pro can only be purchased at the recommended price even in the short term.
Therefore, if there are claims on social media about the availability of very cheap iPhone 12, please do not believe it to avoid falling into the trap of fraud.
