I have a question towards samsung, htc, nokia and sony phone.
Why their price drop so fast? i mean compare to iPhone, since some of their phones are designed to fight against
iPhone like Galaxy S2 (no offense) but yet its price drop faster than iPhone.
For example, new set of S2 when first launched is about rm2.2k (i guess only), iPhone 4 same. But now, compare them again, how come S2 price drop so fast and new iPhone price still higher than S2 even it launched earlier than S2...any idea?
Because it's Apple own policy to have a fixed price for their products or for any authorised dealer selling their products? Do you not notice there're no price drops at all for any Apple products? Unless it's a worldwide discount or education price or refurbished products..
Anyways, any electronics is bound to have a price drop when it's halfway through it's lifespan.. S2 have been relatively strong because of its dominating specs/performance when it was first released, even till now it's still a very strong phone, in fact I just got mine in White few days ago.. If you look at some other mobile phones, their lifespan is even shorter... They can afford to do so too because new products are launched, old products surely need to clear stock by selling at a cut.. As for Apple, they only release new iPhone once a year, obviously they are less worried about lowering their prices because price was never a significant factor when ppl are buying iPhone anyways...
