iPhone 17โค Recyclingโ Prices Surge, Pro Max Leads Demand -โฃ 11 AM Update
Initial reports from theโฃ Xianda Plaza morning market on september 19th indicate strong performance for the iPhone โ17 Proโ Max, withโฃ some models already achieving recycling prices โ above thier original โretail cost. This โคcontrasts with a more mixed market for theโ iPhoneโ 17 Pro โคand limited interest in the iPhone 17 Air.
The iPhone 17 Pro Max is currently leading the market, with all colorโค and storage configurations showing positive returns. Notably, the 2TB version is provingโฃ notably popular, boasting a recycling price of 19,600, generating a profit ofโ $2,601โฃ for sellers based on its original price of โข16,999.
Color preference appears to be leaning towards theโ newly introducedโ “orange” finish. For example, theโข 256GB iPhone 17 Pro Max in orange isโข recycling โfor 13,000, a $2,801 profit over its original โฃprice of 10,199.โค This is slightly higher thanโ the profit margin seen on theโ same capacity โmodel in blue or white ($2,701).โฃ Similar trends are observed in the 512GB and 1TB versions, โsuggesting increased market demand for the new โคcolor option.
The iPhone 17 โProโฃ is experiencing โคmore moderate market activity. while the 256GB and 512GB models in โblue and white are showing slight profits, ranging from $1 to $201, notโข all Pro configurations are currently profitable. โฃ
A โขnotable outlier is the 1TB iPhone 17 Pro, which is currently selling โค below its originalโฃ price, with a recycling price ofโ 12,700 – $99 lessโฃ than its retail price of 12,799. This “reverse erosion” suggests weaker demand for the higher-capacity standard Pro model, potentially with consumersโ opting for the moreโ powerfulโข Proโข Max instead.
Demand is โvisibly high, with reports of significant queues forming at Xianda Plaza as fans launch the new devices. โขHowever, the iPhone 17 Air is reportedly experiencing very limited interest.
The market isโ expected to remain dynamic, โand further updates on recycling prices will be provided as the day progresses.
