Apple’s iPhone 6 Plus, despite the #bendgate issue, continues to do very well as this marks the first time that Cupertino has taken the step to enter into phablet territory. After all, bigger is better when it comes to displays, don’t you think so? Apart from that, it comes with a 5.5” display that is sure to please the masses – at least for those who would want a large screen iPhone after waiting all this while. As Apple continues to find it difficult to keep up with the demand for the iPhone 6 Plus, this has led to a high resale value for the device on websites such as eBay and Taobao. Piper Jaffrey analyst Gene Munster alongside his team has kept tabs on the last 50 auctions for each iPhone 6 Plus sold to get a better grasp of the situation.
Munster saw that 42 days after launch, the Apple iPhone 6 Plus was being purchased at approximately 124% of the smartphone’s retail price on average, now how about that? This is markedly higher compared to the resale price for the Apple iPhone 5s at a similar time juncture in the previous year. As for the iPhone 6 that has not been affected by supply concerns so far, it is sold at 94% of its retail price.
