Were There Any Other Price Cuts?
This comes after reports in China hinted that the 128GB version of the iPhone 12 would retail for 4799 yuan ($744) on some platforms. This is a massive 2000 yuan ($310) shy of the official price of 6799 yuan ($1,054). As we all know, when the iPhone 13 series arrive, the sales of the iPhone 12 could drop significantly.
This is the risk that many sales platforms can not afford to take. Thus, they activate these price cuts to sell off their remaining stock of the iPhone 12.
Although the iPhone 13 will come with a couple of upgrades this year, its starting price will not rise. However, due to the addition of the 1TB storage version, the high version will cost over $2,000. Considering the pricing, many iPhone 12 users are now getting set for an exchange with the upcoming iPhone 13.
