Why did Apple products become expensive?
Due to the rising cost of storage and memory chips, it has become expensive for Apple to make products. The company said in its statement that we had never seen such a rapid increase in the prices of any component before. Till now we had been protecting customers from this price increase, but now we have reached a point where we will have to start increasing the prices of many products.
Why can there be a boom in the refurbished market?
expensive price- Now customers will have to pay more for Apple’s new products. The price of many products of the company has increased by Rs 70,000. In such a situation, budget-sensitive customers have no other option except the refurbished market. This is the reason why the increased prices of Apple products will now push customers towards the refurbished market.
Great quality- Refurbished products are no longer just about selling old products. There are many authorized sellers in the market, who sell the products after complete testing and customers are also given certificates regarding quality. Due to this, customers have started gaining confidence in refurbished products.
Premium experience at low cost- The demand for premium phones has increased in India in the last few years. People are now ready to pay more for premium experience. This is the reason why the demand for iPhone has increased in the refurbished market. Now after the increase in prices, there are speculations that people will turn to the refurbished market.
Keep these things in mind while buying a refurbished product
