about Mobile Cellphone

Apple, cellphone manufacturer headquartered in Cupertino seem to have made consumers willing to spend for buying-in products such as the iPhone 5.

But apparently, as reported by Bloomberg Businessweek, Apple's smartphone is "hot" it is not the iPhone 5, but older models like the iPhone 4 and 4S second hand used aliases.

Business buying and selling a used iPhone device reported experiencing a boom in the market of developing countries that are sensitive to price.

Because of the large volume of sales of second-hand iPhones, a number of cellular retailers in the United States are now competing to offer trade-in the old iPhone to the consumer in the land of Uncle Sam.

T-Mobile, for example, open a trade-in program the iPhone 4 and 4S with the iPhone 5 worth the price of the device when purchased, while AT & T gave a price of 200 U.S. dollars to one unit of the iPhone 4S or equal to the price of the iPhone 5 16 GB version (with contract).

iPhone and polished former obtained by contracting some sort ERecyclingCorps and Brightstar to eliminate physical disabilities and delete data. After that, then channeled to the iPhone former distributors for resale, usually in Asia.

Currently only 15 percent of mobile phone users who sell old cell phones before buying new models. However, the figure is expected to grow as more and more users are aware of the advantages of selling old mobile phones.

Israel Ganot, CEO of Gazelle retailers, one of the players in the business of buying and selling a used iPhone's, said that the value of second-hand sales of its iPhone will be doubled to 100 million U.S. dollars in 2013.

Gazelle mengkapalkan nearly half of its products to the regional level reseller based in Hong Kong, China.

"The desire of consumers in the United States to follow the trend, along with a very high growth in emerging markets has created tremendous opportunities," said Ganot offering price of 210 U.S. dollars to buy an iPhone 4S 32GB through Gazelle site. Smartphones are usually sold back for $ 450 U.S. dollars.

Apple itself as the manufacturer of iPhone for the iPhone consider selling the business as a stumbling block because the former rivaling sales of new goods.

Even so, is like a double-edged sword, a former iPhone boom also helped Apple faced two problems at once, ie empty the stock of the iPhone 5 in the U.S. and provide affordable iPhone offer to consumers in Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.

Without iPhone former in these areas, Apple will be increasingly difficult to compete with Android smartphones, which is now controlled 59 percent of the global market, compared to Apple's 19 percent share.

"It's like a win-win for Apple. (Former iPhone) Android Helps against invasion," said NPD Group analyst Stephen Baker.

Apple is also reportedly preparing a cheap version of the iPhone which is made of plastic material in order to expand to segment out "premium" which occupied the iPhone for this product.

"Apple has not had a middle-class product. (Cheap version of the iPhone) is a way to open up their ecosystem to a wider audience," said group President Brightstar trade-in Bela Lainck.

However, Stephen Baker of NPD found, with the former booming iPhone sales, it is actually not necessary.

"Why bother making something substandard? Apple already had a low-end version of the iPhone, called the iPhone 4 and 4S," said Baker.
