Inflammation in the mobile market; How much did the iPhone become more expensive after the news of the import ban?
Digito’s reviews of the mobile market indicate that a variety of iPhone models are rare. Online stores have dismantled most models of this mobile phone, and sellers in the physical market generally refuse to offer prices and so-called “do not sell.” Those sellers who offer iPhones also sell this phone up to 10 million tomans more expensive than before. Some sellers claim that the passenger registration of iPhones has also become difficult, and this will increase the price of the iPhone even more.
IPhone import ban Since the beginning of the year seriously by Some representatives It was followed, today, by changing the priority of importing these phones to product group 27, it became a reality. The iPhone is already in product group 23, and its presence in group 27 means that from the policy-maker’s point of view, this phone is a luxury product and its import is not necessary.
But this decision, which was unprofessional in the opinion of the Association of Mobile Importers, caused the market of these phones to ignite in just a few hours; Most online stores have opted to temporarily remove Apple-branded mobile phones from their websites.
Also, the stores that announced the prices of different types of mobile phones on the Telegram and Instagram platforms also refused to announce the prices of different types of iPhones today.
Those sellers who have continued to sell iPhones, offer such phones up to 10 million tomans more expensive than before. A mobile market activist told Digito:
“All iPhone models have increased in price between 8 and 10 million tomans. The price of iPhone 13 Promex has reached 57 million Tomans from 47 million Tomans today. “The price of iPhone 13 Pro has changed from 44 to 52 million Tomans and iPhone 13 from 30 million Tomans to 40 million Tomans.”
Another mobile market activist in Aladdin Passage, who specializes in selling and offering Apple products, also confirmed the increase in prices in a conversation with Digito: “iPhone 13 Promex with a capacity of 256 GB, which was offered yesterday at a price of 46 million Tomans , Today is priced at 55 million tomans. “The 13 Pro model with a capacity of 256 has experienced a price increase of more than 7 million Tomans since yesterday, and has increased from 45 million Tomans to 52 million and five hundred thousand Tomans.”
Calling such an event in the current economic situation in the country bitterly, this mobile market activist tells Digiato that the rise in iPhone prices directly affects the flagships of other brands in the mobile market: “It will be because the price difference between the flagship models of two or more brands can not be so different.”
The mobile market has gone through days of unrest in 1401, and such decisions have exacerbated the unrest. It is not clear whether this inflammation is caused by a sudden atmosphere or will continue, but in any case, it seems that today and in the coming days, the mobile market will suffer from many shocks.
Over the past two months, the Association of Mobile Importers has repeatedly warned that any ban would have economic consequences and increase prices.
