Since the release of Apple iPhone 5 in September, although there have been problems such as paint peeling, it has still failed to erase consumers' desire to buy. Since its launch, the price of this machine has remained high at more than 7000 yuan. After more than two months, it has finally fallen back to about 5000 yuan so far. Due to the lack of complete warranty services, this price has little advantage over other channels. Compared with other channels, the parallel iPhone 5 still has some room for price reduction. Subject to multiple factors, it is expected that the aircraft will have a decrease of about 500 yuan in the next 1-2 months.

First of all, Apple recently announced the price of the iPhone 5 in China: 5288 yuan for the 16GB, 6088 yuan for the 32G and 6888 yuan for the 64GB version. Compared with the lowest listing price of 4988 yuan of the previous generation of iPhone 4S, the new generation of iPhone 5 is 300 yuan more expensive, and the price is not low. However, compared with the parallel products, the lowest version of 5288 yuan has an advantage over today's 5300 yuan (quoted today), and the licensed products have warranty service in China, which is more worth buying.

Secondly, in addition to the above Hong Kong version, there are other regional versions, such as the American version. At present, the selling price of the US unlocked version is about 4041 yuan. Although domestic users cannot directly purchase it through these channels at present, it is conceivable that a large number of smuggled goods will flow in. At that time, the US version of iPhone 5 will occupy the smuggled goods market at a premium price, driving down the price.

Moreover, for domestic operators, although China Unicom and China Telecom have not announced the detailed plan of the contract package, there has been news that the price of Unicom's customized iPhone 5 16GB is 5880 yuan, and that of China Telecom's customized iPhone 5 is 5780 yuan. Although the final price may change, it is estimated that the change will not be significant. For users who are in demand, the contract machine offers a great deal of discount in terms of bundled services, and the overall cost performance is also quite excellent.

In general, influenced by licensed products, American version machines and operator contract machines, the parallel iPhone 5 should show a sharp decline in recent days. It is suggested that friends who have purchase needs can wait and see, and finally choose appropriate channels to purchase.
