It was reported that the number of units sold was 2.7 times and the number of units sold was about 1.6 times that of the same period.
This is the first time that sales have increased sharply in the first week of September.
According to the mobile phone market, the same tendency is seen on the mail-order sites “Minna no Sumaho Rakuten Ichiba” and “Minna no Sumaho Yahoo! Shopping” operated by the company, and the company’s own site “Minna no Sumaho”. It is said that it is the first time that sales have increased sharply in the first week of September when the information ban is lifted.

September 1st week Top 10 used iPhone sales ranking
Looking at the sales ranking in the first week of September, iPhone8 (64GB), which is the mainstream of used iPhones, ranked first, followed by iPhone7 (32GB). The iPhone 8 (64GB), which ranks first, has fallen from 6,000 yen to 8,000 yen compared to the same period last year, and it seems that it has become an easy-to-buy price range.
Attention is the 5th place iPhone SE (2nd generation). Since it has only been about one and a half years since it was released, many of them have good batteries and exterior conditions, and the price has dropped by about 7,000 yen compared to the same period last year, so it can be said that it will be a hot terminal in the used smartphone market in the future. increase.
Mr. Takeshi Matsuzaki of the EC1 Department of the Mobile Market explains the background of the rapid increase in sales in the first week of September as follows.
September is the time when the iPhone will be released. September is the time to refrain from buying, but this year sales of used iPhones are strong. If the price range is in the latter half of 30,000 yen, iPhone XR and iPhone XS can be purchased, and it can be said that the lineup is easy to purchase as a whole. The new iPhone is too expensive to buy. I’m not asking for specs that much. It may be proof that used smartphones have been gradually recognized by some customers.
