Recently, with the gradual severity of the epidemic situation, many provinces and cities in China have carried out strict epidemic prevention and control, and many enterprises and factories have stopped work and production.
Kunshan has suspended Wistron and Pegatron from producing equipment for consumer electronics manufacturers, both of which are Apple's supply chain partners.
As a result, some Apple products, including the iPhone and iPad, may face a brief shutdown.
Even so, the iPhone 13 series released last year is the best-selling smartphone today.
According to Counterpoint's research report, Apple's share of the high-end mobile phone market in 2021 exceeded 60% for the first time since 2017.
Obviously, the iPhone 13 contributes a significant portion of this data.
For users, the price of the iPhone 13 series is also a matter of great concern to everyone.
As the time to market for the iPhone 13 series has been extended, the price has gradually stabilized.
Although Apple will not adjust the price of the iPhone 13 on the official website for the time being, according to the latest news, the price of the iPhone 13 on the third-party platform has an "avalanche" trend.
Taking the quotation of the third-party platform as an example, the 128GB iPhone 13 price point is as low as 5280 yuan, which is about 700 yuan cheaper than the official website price.
At the same time, the price of iPhone 13 on several well-known domestic e-commerce platforms such as Taobao, JD.com and Pinduoduo has also fallen to varying degrees.
Among them, Taobao's iPhone 13 128GB price is 5188 yuan (after the coupon), and Jingdong is 5399 yuan, which is about 600-800 yuan lower than the official website.
The price reduction of Pinduoduo is even more exaggerated, and the price of 128GB iPhone 13 has fallen below 5000 yuan to 4999 yuan, which is 1000 yuan cheaper than the official website.
For users who need to change machines, now is actually the best time to get started with the iPhone 13.
The phrase "buy early and enjoy early, buy late with discounts" is one of the well-known guidelines for buying consumer electronics.
Judging from the development of smart phones in recent years, the second half of the sentence "late buy with discounts" is still valid, and the phrase "buy early and enjoy early" needs to be interpreted more dialectically.
Although the first purchase of a new product means that you can be the first to taste the early, but it may also become the first batch of users to face product problems.
Since Apple's autumn conference last year, I think everyone has remembered the "rollover" incident of some of Apple's new products.
For example, the Studio Display display that has just been released has the problem of low camera quality, and the Vietnam-made AirPods 3 has obvious burr, glue overflow and current sound problems.
It is true that the release of a new product, in addition to the quality of the product itself, Apple is bound to optimize its system.
At the same time, some software and new features must also be adapted, and it is normal for product quality problems to occur at this time.
However, with the increasing stability of the iOS 15 system, coupled with the sharp price reduction of third-party platforms, now is undoubtedly the best time to buy the iPhone 13.
In addition, according to the news from the outside world before, it is expected that this year's iPhone 14 standard version model will not change much in performance and appearance, and its competitiveness is not as good as the iPhone 14 Pro series.
At the same time, there is still half a year to go before the release of the iPhone 14 series, and it is also very cost-effective to start with the iPhone 13 at a lower price.
