Apple Price Increases Lift Some Used MacBook Prices on Resale Platforms

Some Apple devices have risen in price on secondhand trading platforms after Apple increased prices across multiple product lines, including Macs and iPads. According to Jin10, a report said that on the resale platform Zhuanzhuan, the minimum transaction price for the high-end 2021 MacBook Pro rose by 400 yuan compared with June 28 and by nearly 1,000 yuan compared with June 21, based on the most recent seven-day period. The minimum transaction price for a lower-priced MacBook Pro model using the M1 chip also increased by about 300 yuan over the same recent seven-day period. Data found on Xianyu showed the overall average price for Apple laptops was about 2,560 yuan, with prices rising recently and up 6% week on week. The report noted that this average is heavily influenced by a large number of low-priced accessories, such as disassembled speakers and hard drives, as well as a mix of newer and older models, meaning actual prices for complete laptops are much higher.
