What is the current price of an iPhone 12 mini lock phone?
All variants of iPhone 12 mini lock come with similar designs, configurations, and performance as the regular versions, featuring 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, Apple A14 Bionic chip, high-resolution OLED Super Retina XDR display, FullHD+, etc., but at a lower price compared to international or official versions.
According to market research, the current price of an iPhone 12 mini lock device is approximately 3 million lower than the official version, varying depending on the seller. The reference price for an iPhone 12 mini lock is 13,990,000 Vietnamese dong.
Is it advisable to purchase an iPhone 12 mini lock at this time?
Previous models of iPhones have often attracted Apple enthusiasts with tighter budgets due to their significantly lower prices. What about the iPhone 12 mini?
In reality, the iPhone 12 mini lock model in 2021 is being overlooked by users. Currently, very few retailers are importing iPhone 12 mini lock units, mainly focusing on the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro Max.
Primarily, the genuine iPhone 12 mini has failed to captivate customers. Despite its compact design and strong specifications, users encounter issues with battery life and screen size, making it unsuitable for media consumption. Consequently, despite its powerful chipset and configuration, users cannot fully utilize its performance, resulting in significant waste.
Using an iPhone 12 mini lock requires adding a SIM adapter to use it in Vietnam, and eSIM functionality is unavailable. However, installing a SIM adapter on the iPhone 12 mini lock is not as smooth as previous iPhone models. It immediately prompts errors and requires connection to a PC or Mac running iTunes. Thus, spending nearly 14 million VND on a device that lacks reliable call reception is unwarranted. Furthermore, if the purpose of purchasing an iPhone 12 mini is for entertainment, we advise against it due to its poor battery life and small screen unsuitable for gaming and multimedia consumption.
Regarding pricing, the difference between locked and genuine iPhone 12 mini models is not substantial, which is something to consider. There are better options available for the same price, such as the iPhone 11 lock or smartphones from Samsung or Oppo.
Considering the aforementioned reasons, purchasing an iPhone 12 mini lock is not a particularly wise choice at this time. Especially when the genuine iPhone 12 mini also receives many promotions from distributors.
Not only the iPhone 12 mini lock but also other iPhone products are truly suitable for individuals who want to own the latest iPhone generation early, as it is only available in select key markets and not officially distributed in Vietnam.
