“多数中国消费者感觉新款iPhone太贵”

2013年9月12日

中国大陆首次成为最新款苹果多功能手机的首发区域。德语媒体指出,这是苹果公司对具有举足轻重地位的中国消费者的“认可”,或有助于扩大在华销售市场;另一方面,对大多数中国消费者来说,新款苹果机仍然过于昂贵,成为扩展中国市场的障碍。

(德国之声中文网)根据苹果公司日前公布的一项出售计划,最新款iPhone 5C和5S定于本月20日开售,中国在首批9个开售国家中榜上有名。这是中国首次获此“殊荣”,凸现中国消费市场的重要意义。9月12日一期的《南德意志报》“经济”栏目上的一篇署名文章指出,新款iPhone的价格过高,让数百万中国消费者失望:

“新款iPhone本周三在北京与公众见面,这是苹果公司面对中国消费者的‘跪拜’行为。世上没有任何其他什么地方有着比中国更多的潜在消费者。他们希望受人重视,受商家青睐。苹果公司决定在北京首先展示新款手机,看来是明白了今春所受批评的含义。今年3月,中国中央电视台猛烈抨击苹果。其要点是,美国人视中国人为二等消费者。苹果以为,这一指责的分量现在至少可以减轻些了。

“尽管如此,这家美国康采恩仍让中国人失望。据称是廉价版的5C售价4488元人民币,相当于550欧元,对许多中国人来说依然过于昂贵。……不过,这一价格却让少数苹果迷有正中下怀之感。因为,通过做出这一高位终端价格的决定,这家美国康采恩确保了可借以傲视群雄的那个标志。在中国,苹果产品始终是身份的象征,这一点对那些忠诚的所有者来说至关重要。

“数年来,对新一代中产者而言,iPhone和iPad这样的技术产品起着抛光形象的作用,他们有意要让别人看到自己与低收入阶层之间的不同之处。在市场上处于领先地位的三星手机根本不予考虑。”

双款并举战略

同一天的《法兰克福汇报》在“企业”栏目上的一篇文章也认为,从多数中国消费者的心理出发分析,苹果的双款并举战略似乎不会收到预期效果:

“分析家们曾预期,苹果此次会以比iPhone 5S低得多的价格推出iPhone 5C,以便在中国这样的新兴市场获得新的购买群体。但是,iPhone 5C一点都不便宜,……

“迄今,苹果还没能宣布人们预期已久的同中国移动结盟这一消息。若以用户数衡量,中国移动是全球最大移动通信康采恩。不过,两家联手不过是早晚的事情,而且,苹果刚从主管机构那里获得了许可证,可以同中国移动合作。苹果在中国多功能手机市场上失去了某些地盘。该公司在最新季度报告中承认,在中国的销售量减少了14%。”
