With further increases in mobile phone prices, many consumers now have much fewer complaints about the carton problem, and consumers will enter and leave mobile phone repair shops more frequently, leaving mobile phone repair shops on the street with more and better businesses, which may become an unusual feature of the mobile phone industry。
In fact, the resurgence of mobile phone maintenance began seven to eight years ago, and the decline in previous mobile phone repair shops was due to the previously intense competition between domestic and foreign mobile phones, for example, where prices were as low as $300 in 2014。
The price of such low mobile phones has left consumers less interested in repairing their phones, dropping them when they are broken, reducing their replacement to 18 months, or even a year, when domestic consumers are happy。
The domestic market, which peaked at 470 million by 2016, has declined since then, naturally linked to the non-intensity of domestic mobile phone prices。
Data from 2017 show that the market share of the four largest domestic mobile phones combined with apples is close to 80 per cent, that domestic mobile phone market patterns are stable, that several large brands have a dominant market share, that they have begun to turn to profit, that mobile phone prices have naturally risen, and that since then mobile phone repair shops in the domestic market have flourished again。
This change can be clearly felt in guangzhou, where mobile phone maintenance needs were so small that many practitioners were small accessories such as plaguing membranes and selling cell phone shells, but when mobile phone maintenance was increased, the practitioners stopped posing and rented shops for mobile phone maintenance, which also showed that the increase in mobile phone prices had led to a significant increase in profits from mobile phone maintenance。
In daily use, cell phone bumps are inevitable, but the official maintenance prices of mobile phone businesses are too high, some mobile screens are broken, and the price of replacing a screen in authorized mobile phone repair shops may be $400, although a second-hand mobile phone is worth only $600。
For those high-value curvature screens, folding screens, etc., the price of replacement screens is even twice as high as second-hand phones, such as the tristar galaxy z flip4 replacement screens, which are now sold at less than $1,200 in the second-hand market, and in which case the profits from mobile phone maintenance at street maintenance shops are quite high。
The normal oled screen official replacement price is $400 and does not change the lcd screen for consumers, while the street maintenance store can replace it with a lcd screen at around $100 or even lower; the folded mobile phone mentioned above, which consumers do not want to lose their mobile data, can buy from the internet a second-hand folding screen as low as 600, or buy a second-hand mobile phone and have it removed from the street maintenance store to their own mobile phone, and the host can sell it to a second-hand mobile phone store at a low cost。
In addition, the biggest demand for mobile phone maintenance is actually batteries, which are the most frequently replaced accessories for these old phones, with an official battery likely to cost $200, while a third-party battery is as low as $70, and replacement batteries are now one of the largest mobile phone maintenance operations since batteries will decline in about two years。
As mobile phone prices rise, the demand for such mobile phone maintenance is bound to increase further. After all, it is not surprising that many consumers now use a mobile phone for four to five years, especially if it is iphone, even six years ago that the iphone is much more effective than the latest national mobile phone, which is similar to the national flagship mobile phone, which is often three to four years ahead of the middle cell phone, has a better experience of using the old one than the new cell phone, and in such a long time, mobile phone bumps are bound to be quite numerous and naturally required repair。
