Reduction in the price of mobile phones in the market
Over the past month, the dollar rate has been declining, which has led to a decrease in the price of mobile phones. Of course, it should be said that the drop in the price of phones is not the same; Some models are back to late 1401 prices and some are still more expensive than late last year.
According to Digiato report, mobile is a consumer product in the world, the need for which is increasing day by day, but unlike most countries in the world, this essential tool is becoming a luxury product in Iran. The increase in the dollar rate, or rather, the devaluation of the rial in recent years, on the one hand, and the decrease in purchasing power and inflation on the other hand, have led to the fact that fewer Iranians can afford a flagship phone these days.
In 1402, the price of mobile phones had reached its highest level in recent months, but with the decline of the dollar rate and its 15% decrease since the middle of May, we are witnessing an 8-15% drop in prices in the mobile phone market as well.
