Want to get an iPhone 14 cheaply? You may want to wait until the launch of the Apple iPhone 15 in September, and wait for the iPhone 14 to drop in price before buying! But how much can you actually save? If we look back and calculate from the experience of the iPhone 13 series, the price reduction seems to be very limited, and even instead of falling, it has risen.
According to the practice of previous years, Apple chooses to hold the iPhone launch conference in September. If it is aimed at purchasing the old model of the previous generation after the launch of the new machine in September and October, and wants to save a fortune, actually review the iPhone 13 series in 2019. The channel price changes between July and October last year did not go so smoothly.
According to the store prices provided by Jiesheng Communications, observing the price trend of popular models such as iPhone 13 128GB, iPhone 13 Pro 256GB, and iPhone 13 Pro Max 256GB from July to October 2022, they will gradually increase between July and August. It fell slowly, and reached the lowest point after the release of the iPhone 14 in September, and the price rebounded from October:
Apple iPhone 13 price changes from July to October 2022 (unit: yuan)
iPhone 13 128GB：22,390 (July), 21,590 (August), 21,390 (September), 22,790 (October)
iPhone 13 Pro 256GB：32,890 (July), 31,790 (August), 31,790 (September), 34,690 (October)
iPhone 13 Pro Max 256GB：36,390 (July), 35,690 (August), 34,990 (September), 36,790 (October)
Looking at the data, the price of the iPhone 13 series reached its lowest point in September 2022, but it was only a difference of up to 700 yuan from August, and it rose to nearly 3,000 yuan in October. According to the analysis of Jiesheng Communication, this is because after the launch of new models, the old models will be removed from the shelves and production will be discontinued, causing the inventory to begin to decrease, leading to an increase in market prices.
A similar situation also happened to this year’s iPhone 13, which has only dropped by about 4,000 yuan after being on the market for more than a year. The value preservation is quite high, and the price has not continued to drop as expected. Part of the reason is that Apple’s iPhone 14 has limited upgrades in specifications, which has led to market demand for consumers to switch to iPhone 13. In addition, the physical channel has gradually entered the inventory clearance stage of the iPhone 13, and the number of circulation has decreased, which also makes it more difficult to operate the price.
However, whether the iPhone 14 can follow the price trend of the iPhone 13 is still unknown. It still depends on the buying momentum of the iPhone 15. However, the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max have a high probability of being removed from the shelves and discontinued, and they may face inventory. few cases.
It will be different if you don’t insist on buying a “new phone in a box” but turn to a second-hand phone. According to a report by SellCell, a second-hand recycler, according to the statistics of the second-hand price changes from iPhone 7 to XS, whenever Apple’s press conference ends, the old iPhone will immediately plummet by 30% on the same day, and the new iPhone will also drop by 30% in the first month. A substantial depreciation will take some time to gradually stabilize. Therefore, if the public wants to pick up a bargain, choosing to buy a second-hand mobile phone will be another more cost-effective choice.
