The iPhone 11 series entered the market with strong sales driven by its camera performance, and the iPhone 12 series, Apple's flagship model to be released this year, is expected to increase its market share in the second half of the smartphone market through innovative specifications. The model is anticipated to feature a triple camera and the A14 chip, which is expected to deliver performance comparable to that of the 15-inch MacBook Pro. Additionally, the PRO model in this series is predicted to be equipped with a Time of Flight (ToF) 3D depth camera sensor capable of generating 3D images, raising high expectations among many users.
Samsung Electronics has already launched its first budget smartphone this year, and Apple is also expected to introduce an entry-level model. This model is considered a successor to the iPhone SE but is expected to have specifications comparable to the iPhone 11 series, leading to predictions that it will be released as the iPhone 9 rather than the iPhone SE2. The model is expected to feature a 4.7-inch display, a home button with Touch ID, and the A13 chip, with a design similar to the iPhone 8. No other rumors have been reported so far.
As the release of Apple's flagship model approaches in about six months, the iPhone 11 series is also receiving attention. Various sites are offering price discounts on this model, but consumers seem more interested in sites showcasing products like the 7th generation iPad and AirPods Pro than in these price reductions.
A representative from the ‘NewBusPhone’ smartphone group purchase cafe stated, “We are providing gifts such as the 7th generation iPad and AirPods Pro to customers who purchase the iPhone 11, PRO, and PRO MAX,” adding, “Since the conditions for receiving these gifts vary depending on the carrier, it is necessary to check through the site, and all colors are available for purchase without waiting.”
The site has already been an issue with the repackaged Galaxy S10 product, which is sold starting from 0 won. This product is a used device that has been used for about a month after trade-in, repackaged after inspection, and sold at a more reasonable price. Additionally, new Galaxy S10 models are also being promoted at reasonable prices, starting from as low as 30,000 won, and consumers are reportedly torn between choosing new and repackaged models.
Furthermore, with the official subsidy for the Galaxy Fold being increased, the site is offering high-level discounts, making it possible to purchase the device with benefits worth about 1 million won. The site, which is providing exclusive car mounts on a first-come, first-served basis, is also showcasing various free models such as the LG G8 and V40 ThinQ, targeting a wide range of consumers. As a result, a large number of consumers seeking to purchase smartphones at more reasonable prices are flocking to the site.
Detailed information about the site's promotions can be found on the ‘NewBusPhone’ Naver cafe.
