After the release of the iPhone 13 series, the scalper’s busy season officially began.
In the early morning of September 15, Apple officially released the iPhone 13 series at the autumn conference, which are iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max.
The starting prices of the four models of the Bank of China are: 5199 yuan, 5999 yuan, 7999 yuan, and 8999 yuan. Compared with the iPhone 12 series, under the same configuration, the starting price of the iPhone 13 series has dropped by hundreds of yuan. Under the same 128GB storage specification, the starting price of the iPhone 13 is 800 yuan cheaper than that of the iPhone 12.
According to the information on Apple’s official website, the above models will be pre-ordered at 8 pm on September 17 and will be on sale on September 24. Each consumer is limited to two purchases of the same model. Even if the purchase restriction is used to restrict the hoarding of scalpers, it still cannot block the scalpers’ purchase channels.
Jiemian News asked a number of scalpers about the delivery time. Most scalpers indicated that they are guaranteed to be in stock on the day of sale, including iPhone 13’s new light pink color scheme, which can also be guaranteed on the second day of sale, but it depends on the premium that day. A scalper revealed that the goods will arrive on September 22, but they can only go on sale at 9 o’clock on September 24.
This is roughly the same as the time node disclosed by an agent in Xinjiang. According to the agent, the goods will arrive on September 22 or 23, and then the goods will be distributed to the states under the Xinjiang Autonomous Region before the 24th to ensure the supply of goods in offline stores on that day.
The reason why it can only be sold on September 24 is that Apple will monitor the activation of the device to ensure that the product is confidential. AI Finance and Economics has previously reported that once a new machine activated in advance is found, Apple will track down the corresponding dealer through the IMEI code, fine it according to the contract, and cancel the dealer’s agent qualification.
As for the price, the scalpers have different opinions. Some scalpers have repeatedly emphasized that the price will be consistent with the official price. Some scalpers have bluntly stated that the price will be increased on the basis of the official price, but the specific range will vary from day to day and will change with market conditions.
In addition, e-commerce platforms such as JD.com and Suning have simultaneously launched the iPhone 13 pre-order page, and have made appointment benefits one after another. Suning’s pre-order page shows that the purchase of iPhone 13 plus purchase value will enjoy two-year AppleCare+ official protection; JD.com also proposed that users who purchase the new iPad can receive a 30-day worry-free trial, one-year quality issue replacement, and one-year extended warranty service. It is understood that only one hour after the Jingdong page went online, the number of appointments for the iPhone 13 series has exceeded 200,000.
But the enthusiasm of consumers does not seem to affect the capital market. On September 14, Eastern time, the day of the autumn new product launch, as of the close of US stocks, Apple’s stock price fell by 0.96% to US$148.12, with a market value of US$2.45 trillion.
Among A-share companies, the share prices of many Apple industry chain companies have also shown a downward trend. As of the close of September 15th, Apple’s major supplier of camera modules, connectors, antennas and other major suppliers of Lixun Precision’s stock price fell 2.68%; Apple’s screen supplier Lens Technology’s stock price fell 1.75%; battery and battery module supplier Xinwangda Shares of He Desai Battery fell 0.51% and 1.96%, respectively; Apple’s AirPods foundry Goertek shares fell 2.24%.Return to Sohu to see more
