Is Now the Buying Chance for iPhone X, 8, 7 Ahead of iPhone SE2 Launch? 'Phone Master' Special Sale Sparks Buzz

The iPhone SE2, which has generated countless rumors about its release since the year before last, is expected to be launched this March.

According to major foreign media such as AppleInsider, it is predicted that Apple will begin production of the iPhone SE2 next month and release it in March.

The iPhone SE2 is expected to feature a design similar to the iPhone 8 but with a slightly larger 5.4-inch display compared to the 4.7-inch screen of the iPhone 8, and will include FACE ID, the facial recognition feature introduced with the iPhone X.

Apple, which has so far focused on high-priced flagship models, is expected to lower the entry barrier for consumers toward iPhones by releasing an affordable series priced at $399 (approximately 470,000 KRW), easing the price burden.

Meanwhile, ‘Phone-ui Dalin,’ an online smartphone group purchase cafe with 500,000 members, announced that it is conducting pre-orders for the iPhone SE2 while simultaneously offering special discounts on existing iPhone series, drawing significant attention.

According to the announcement, the iPhone SE2 pre-order gifts include high-value items such as an iPhone SE2 unlocked device, iPhone SE2 at half price, iPad PRO, AirPods 2, and Apple Watch. Simply applying also grants free SMS notification service along with a Starbucks Americano gifticon.

Additionally, the discount sales on existing iPhone series have received a warm response; the iPhone X has been significantly reduced to the 200,000 KRW range, the iPhone 7 is offered for 0 KRW, and the iPhone 8, which is difficult to find in stock both online and offline, is being sold at around 100,000 KRW as a rare stock.

Furthermore, premium gifts such as the iPad 7 and AirPods 2 PRO, previously offered only with the iPhone 11 series, have recently been extended to purchases of the iPhone XS and XR series, easing consumers’ burden of high retail prices and receiving positive reviews.

A representative from Phone-ui Dalin stated, “As the release of the iPhone SE2 approaches, we have decided to clear out inventory of existing iPhone series. Due to high demand for the iPhone 8, early closure is likely, so we encourage quick applications.”

In addition, Phone-ui Dalin is selling Galaxy S9 and LG G8 models for 0 KRW, and Galaxy S10 models in the 100,000 KRW range.
