July 4 news, Apple iPhone 13 series of popularity should have heard, last year's first sale of 6.5 million units, this year's 618 sold nearly 7 million units, this should be Apple's best selling 5G mobile phone. But you may not know that in addition to the new machines selling well, the iPhone13 series is also popular with second-hand phones.

Data from the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology shows that in the "large market" where the overall shipment of mobile phones in the new machine market has declined, the shipment of 5G mobile phones in the second quarter has resumed growth. In April and May this year, the shipment of 5G mobile phones accounted for more than 80%, of which May set a new high for a single month.

The transfer group released the "2022 second quarter mobile phone market quotation report", the content shows that in the second-hand trading market, mobile phone trading volume, search volume and recycling list, the top ten models are all Apple iPhone. Apple's trading volume in the second-hand market accounted for 34.79%, ranking first. This means that for every 10 second-hand phones traded, at least 3 are iPhones.

The data publicly shows that the iPhone 11 has topped the list of second-hand market sales and recycling for three consecutive times. In the list of trading volume top 10 models, the iPhone 12ProMax and iPhone 13 entered the list.
Even Apple's latest and market-selling models such as the iPhone 13 have begun to be sold by young people, indicating that everyone's demand for replacement machines still exists. Judging from the trading situation in the second-hand market, everyone's enthusiasm for buying second-hand mobile phones is much higher than that of buying new machines.
In fact, the reason for such a contradictory phenomenon is also very simple. Because an iPhone is completely fine for 3 to 4 years, and the Android flagship will depreciate more seriously than the iPhone after the new flagship is listed in the second year. If it costs three or four thousand to buy a domestic Android phone, and it takes three or four thousand to buy a second-hand iPhone 13, I believe that most consumers will be more inclined to choose the latter.

Editor's comments: After entering the third quarter of this year, the domestic market will usher in the peak of new machine releases, and major mobile phone manufacturers may open a new round of competition. If Android mobile phone manufacturers want to improve their competitiveness against the iPhone, in addition to improving quality and performance, they need to improve the experience and service.
