In Russia, the cost of charging the iPhone has increased by 1.5-2.5 times. In February, official retailers sold them for 1.9 thousand rubles, but now the price has risen to almost 4.5 thousand rubles.

Charging prices for the iPhone increased 2.5 times

The price increase affected the demand for these devices: in the first half of the year, the market for adapters for smartphones sank 40% in units and 30% in money. It also refers to original and unbranded devices, Izvestia reported.

The reason for the price increase of the chargers is that there is practically no competition in the market of the “grey” shops. Sellers are in no hurry to import chargers to resell for a small profit.

Another explanation for the skyrocketing prices is declining demand for smartphone chargers. In 2021, buyers have stocked up on accessories, so they are in no rush to get new ones. Therefore, retailers raise their prices to make money on such devices.

At the end of June, Apple service centers in Russia began to experience shortages of spare parts for the iPhone. Above all, there are not enough screens and batteries.

Smartphone repairs can now take an average of three to five business days, including delivery of replacement parts. However, the term may be extended.
