With the rapid development, the renewal cycle of electronic products is getting shorter and shorter, especially for smart phones. The frequency of launching new products by manufacturers is faster, and the replacement of smart phones is also more diligent. The cost of purchasing the latest models is too high, but If you want to try new technologies and new features, will you consider the 'old-for-new' plan? When it comes to 'old-for-new', it will also think of the mobile phone's hedging rate (recycling price).
According to the foreign media 9to5mac report, the latest data of the clearing company B-Stock pointed out that the iPhone X, which was released in September last year, is not only the most expensive iPhone, but also the most valuable mobile phone.
iPhone X hedge ratio
B-Stock revealed that the average selling price of the used iPhone X is equivalent to 85% of the original price, about 850 US dollars (about 5800 yuan, the original price starts at 999 US dollars), even if the public users buy iPhone X from the retailer and then return the goods will have to pay About 75% of the retail cost. This price is significantly higher than the old iPhone model that was sold simultaneously during the product life cycle.
The iPhone 4 used price reached 85%, because Apple iPhone X has strong demand in the US market, and the used iPhone X meets the demand for fruit powder that wants to save money and want to try the functions of the former bangs, Face ID (iPhone X's uniqueness). The data shows that the current iPhone X sales have reached nearly 80 million, of which the US market accounted for more than half of sales.
Compared with the Android camp, Apple iPhone can be said to be the most valuable mobile phone in the mobile phone industry. After all, only one new iPhone is released every year, and the style is two or three.
So, when you want to upgrade your smartphone, would you choose to go directly to the official website and Applestore to buy (or participate in the 'old-for-new' service) new iPhone? Or lower the standard to buy a second-hand iPhone?
It should be noted that many analysts have pointed out that Apple will discontinue the current iPhone X this year to concentrate on creating 2018 iPhones, including iPhone X II (5.8-inch OLED screen) and iPhone X Plus (6.5-inch OLED screen). And 6.1-inch cheap iPhone (LCD screen) and other three.
Apple iPhone Yearly Renewal Program and Apple Giveback Reward Program
If iPhone X keeps the current trend, it will be quite cost-effective to use the current iPhone X to participate in the 'old-for-new' service after the release of the 2018 iPhone. I wonder if the 2017 iPhone X discount will be the highest? More than the current maximum of 2105 yuan?
