The high price of Apple accessories has always been one of the topics that netizens are keen to discuss.
For example, the previous 145 yuan screen wiping cloth, the official claim that this polishing cloth is soft in texture and can safely and effectively clean various displays.
At the beginning of the sale, this product was complained about by many netizens, but in the end it was still sold out of stock.
There is also a $60 iPhone card pin. That's right, here's the one.
This 60 yuan "sky-high price" card needle surprised netizens.
However, clear-eyed people know that this is a picture of the netizen PS spoof, and Apple has not sold the iPhone card pin separately.
Even if Apple is willful, it will not be "mad" to this extent.
But no one would have thought that recently, Apple really set a price for a small iPhone card pin.
Recently, Apple officially launched a "self-service repair service", mainly for iPhone 12, iPhone 13, iPhone SE 3 series users.
Apple's self-service repair store shows that the official price of the iPhone SIM card pin accessory is 4 US dollars (about 26.52 yuan).
Although there is no 60 yuan of netizen spoofing, the price of 26 yuan also makes netizens fry the pot.
An entry that "Apple SIM card needle sells for 26 yuan" quickly rushed to Weibo's hot search and once ranked seventh on the list.
Is a small card needle worth so much money? Guo students were curious to go to other platforms to see, did not look at it, did not know, a look frightened.
The price of other platforms is surprisingly low, 31 card needles are only 2.8 yuan, and the focus is on free shipping.
Although the 26 yuan card needle is very expensive, from Apple's point of view, this SIM card needle may break the record of Apple's screen wipe cloth and become the official "cheapest" single accessory.
In addition, Apple also listed the iPhone SIM card tray, which costs $7.20 (about 47.74 yuan) each.
It is reported that the self-service maintenance service launched by Apple is currently only open in the United States, and will be extended to more regions at a later date.
According to the operation process provided by Apple, users first need to read the repair manual of the relevant product, and then purchase and lease the necessary parts and tools to carry out independent repairs.
For the 26 yuan iPhone card needle, some netizens joked that "he can obviously grab your money directly, but still gave you a needle", "Is there an Apple label?" I don't know the price without me."
There is a saying that the wiping screen cloth sells for 145 yuan, and the Apple logo is also printed, but this card needle is really unremarkable.
Because there is neither a redesign nor other features, and the ordinary card needle is no different, is it really worth the price?
Although the netizens' complaints are incessant, if the card needle is listed on the Apple Store, guo students are expected to have many people buying it.
This can be seen from the situation of Apple's screen wipe in front of it. As we all know, Apple's profits in product accessories are much higher than those of iPhone, iPad and other products themselves.
Currently, the SIM pin is also included with the iPhone package. I don't know if in the future, in the name of environmental protection, Apple will no longer give away the card needle, but put it on the Apple Store to sell it separately?
