With the launch of the iPhone 13 series, Apple further adjusted its mobile phone lines. The iPhone XR, which completed its historical mission, was officially retired. The Face ID function iPhone was changed to iPhone 11, and the cheapest iPhone was still SE2. In addition, after last year’s iPhone 12 Pro, it’s the iPhone 13’s turn this year to keep the price unchanged and double the storage, making the price more attractive.
For many users, the iPhone 11, which is efficient enough to use, replaced the retired iPhone XR and became the entry-level model of the iPhone with Face ID. After the reduction, the 256GB configuration of the mobile phone was removed. The new price of 64GB was $4,299, and the new price of 128GB was also reduced to $4,799, following the iPhone SE 2, which maintains the admission fee of $3,399, as a mid-priced iPhone product choice.
Taking into account that iPhone 11 and SE 2 do not support 5G, after the release of the iPhone 13 series, Apple still retained the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini as more suitable 5G iPhone options. Among them, the cheapest iPhone 12 mini with standard 64GB is reduced to $5,199, which is $800 cheaper than the entry price of the iPhone 13 mini; and last year, the iPhone 12, the world’s most user-chosen, 64GB standard price was also reduced to $5,999, which coincided with the entry price of the iPhone 13 mini same.
Although both the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 mini retain the 128GB and 256GB options, due to the iPhone 13 series’ “additional volume without price increase” relationship, the former has a price advantage of only $300 in the same storage configuration, which makes it obvious except for the 64GB version of the iPhone 12 mini In addition to the price advantage, other configurations are still more cost-effective with the iPhone 13 series.
This year’s standard upgrade to the iPhone 13 series with 128GB storage, the cheapest entry fee is still the 128GB version of the iPhone 13 mini priced at $5,999. The 256GB version is sold for $6,799, and the 512GB version is available for $8,499; the iPhone that may be considered by the most users 13, the 128GB version is priced at $6,799, and there is also a 256GB version priced at $7,599, followed by a 512GB model available for $9,299.
Compared with last year’s iPhone 12 series, the price of the iPhone 13/iPhone 13 mini is significantly more attractive this time. In addition to being able to double the capacity from 64GB to 128GB at the same admission fee as last year, the 256GB models of the two devices are also different from last year. There is a $500 reduction; as for the newly added 512GB models of the iPhone 13/iPhone 13 mini, the pricing is exactly the same as the standard 128GB models of the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max ($8,499 and $9,299), so that users can more clearly Choose between larger capacity or better body experience.
As for the flagship iPhone 13 Pro series, there is no iPhone 13 Pro/Pro Max with the 256GB configuration as rumored earlier. This is definitely good news for users; this time, the Pro series will add a 1TB version on top of 512GB, so It has four storage configuration options.
The iPhone 13 Pro Hong Kong version is priced at $8,499 with 128GB as standard, and other storage configurations are available at $9,299 (256GB), $10,999 (512GB), and $12,699 (1TB). The iPhone 13 Pro Max Hong Kong version is priced at $9,399 (128GB). ), $10,199 (256GB), $11,899 (512GB) and $13,599 (1TB).
The positioning is different from the iPhone 13 series. The high-end iPhone 13 Pro/Pro Max maintains the old price except for the newly added 1TB configuration. Because it has been upgraded from the standard 64GB to 128GB last year, the price has not been changed this time. Reasonable. All in all, this year’s iPhone 13 series “does not increase the price” to make it more affordable, and it is estimated that the 256GB model considered by the most people is $500 cheaper than last year, or to focus on performance and price than the user’s choice.
