September 20th is a lively day in the mobile phone market, Huawei Mate XT triple folding screen mobile phone is on the market, and the iPhone 16 series is also on sale on this day.
The two phones have different official purchase channels and prices, as well as different performances in the secondary market.
Let's talk about the official purchase path of the Huawei Mate XT triple folding screen phone.
There are both online and offline methods.
Online is a limited sale on Huawei Mall from 10:08 a.m. every day, as long as the day's stock is sold out, it will be gone.
Offline, there is no stock in the store, so you have to make an appointment.
There are already tens of thousands of people queuing, and the store does not charge a markup, although it is not clear how long it will take.
iPhone 16系列在官网的价格很明确,iPhone 16是5999元起,iPhone 16 Pro是7999元起,iPhone 16 Pro Max是9999元起。
Then take a look at how these two phones fared in the secondary market.
Less than 48 hours after the launch of the Huawei Mate XT triple folding screen mobile phone, the scalper price collapsed.
On the day of the listing on September 20, a blogger in the Northeast took the top-of-the-line Mate XT to ask the scalper, but only one scalper was willing to increase the price by 6,000 yuan to recycle.
On September 21 and 22, the price of Shenzhen Huaqiangbei Mate XT scalpers has increased to varying degrees compared with the official website, but the price has dropped sharply within a day.
Take the black 16 + 512G version as an example, it fell by more than 4,000 yuan in one day.
A mobile phone recycling blogger in Foshan, Guangzhou, described the price as collapsing like a jumping machine, with a price per hour.
Now scalpers are only willing to recycle the red version, and they have to sell it at a price of about 10,000 yuan, and no one dares to accept the black version at all.
On the second-hand trading platform, the average price increase of the black version is about 6,000 yuan, and the price of the red version is about 10,000 to 13,000 yuan.
This is compared with the price of 6, 70,000 yuan or even 380,000 yuan when it was first released and not yet listed, it is simply an "epic" crash.
Those users and scalpers who bought at a high price early can lose a lot.
The scalping price of the iPhone 16 series is also not optimistic.
Before the launch of the new iPhone on September 20, there was a subsidy on the third-party platform, and the subsidy price of the iPhone 16 started at 5399 yuan, a drop of 600 yuan; iPhone 16 Pro's subsidized price is 7599 yuan, a drop of 400 yuan; The subsidized price of iPhone 16 Pro Max is 9599 yuan, a direct drop of 400 yuan.
On the morning of the sale, scalpers increased the price of 800 1000 yuan to recycle the mobile phone, but it broke in the afternoon of the same day, and it became a 200 yuan increase in recycling.
On the second-hand trading platform, most iPhone 16 series mobile phones are resold at a price increase of no more than 300 yuan, and the overseas version of the iPhone 16 is sold at a lower price than the national version in the name of purchasing agents.
So why is there such a return to rationality in prices? For the Huawei Mate XT triple foldable phone, there are two reasons.
First, the acceptance of the triple folding screen by ordinary consumers is not high.
This kind of triple folding screen is not needed by the public, and the target consumer group is relatively niche, and it is not a necessity for most people in daily life.
Second, the price is not close to the people.
Even if it is the original price, it is not something that ordinary consumers can easily afford.
So as a niche model, the situation of high price rush at the beginning will definitely not last long.
For the iPhone 16 series, the main reason is the lack of innovation.
Compared with before, there is a lack of that kind of "revolutionary" innovation, and the national version does not have Apple's smart function, so there is naturally a lack of pursuit in the market.
Let's talk about the positive significance of the scalper price crash.
The fact that mobile phones are hyped by scalpers to raise prices has always made consumers very disgusted.
The faster scalper prices crash, the more rational consumers are.
In this way, consumers can choose to buy the goods at the original price and do not have to buy them at a higher price.
To sum up, the Huawei Mate XT triple foldable screen phone and the iPhone 16 series have not performed well in the secondary market after their launch, and the price has fluctuated significantly.
This reflects some characteristics of the product itself and changes in consumers' purchasing concepts.
In the past, the situation of being inflated by scalpers may become less and less as consumers become more rational.
For the average consumer, this is a good sign.
Everyone wants to be able to buy the mobile phone they want at a reasonable price, instead of being led by scalpers.
This situation also allows mobile phone manufacturers to see that factors such as product price and innovation have a great impact on the market, and if they want to achieve good results in the market, they have to work hard in these aspects.
