iPhone 6 Plus is out of stock: Second-hand iPhones are selling for more than the original price

Generally speaking, for a technology product, "it will lose value once you start using it." However, for the iPhone 6 Plus, its second-hand price can even be higher than the original price, mainly because it is in serious shortage. Gene Munster, an analyst at investment institution Piper Jaffray, has tracked the second-hand price of the iPhone 6 Plus for nearly one and a half months, and the result is: even though it has been on the market for more than 40 days, the price of the iPhone 6 Plus is still 124% of its suggested retail price.

It is understood that Gene Munster and his team select at least 50 iPhone 6 Plus units through eBay and other platforms every week for value assessment. After 42 days of tracking and investigation, they found that the resale price of iPhone 6 Plus is still higher than the original price, and its price increase exceeds that of iPhone 5s last year. Gene Munster made a chart about the "price drop gap" between Samsung Electronics' smartphones and iPhones in the past two years, and we can see more intuitive data.

We can also see the tight supply of iPhone 6 Plus through Apple's online store. Currently, iPhone 6 Plus in Apple's online store worldwide almost always takes 3-4 weeks to ship, while iPhone 6 only takes 7-10 days. As for the pre-order self-collection of the Chinese version, iPhone 6 Plus is basically out of stock as soon as the pre-order opens at 8 am every day.
