Why It Matters

蘋果今年推出新一代iPhone系列,包括摺疊機種iPhone Duo與iPhone 18 Pro系列,價格普遍高於前代,引發消費者討論。

Font size

蘋果今年新iPhone價格明顯往上走,首款摺疊iPhone Duo售價7.49萬元起,頂規版更逼近12萬元,iPhone 18 Pro系列也同步漲價,連多款舊機售價都跟著調高,讓不少果粉看完價格直呼「真的買不下手」。

買哪支看財力?網友4級分類笑翻

Threads上就有網友發文分享「iPhone財力分級表」,直接用今年準備換哪一款iPhone,對應不同「經濟狀況」,引起熱烈討論。

請繼續往下閱讀...

這名網友寫道,現在要判斷經濟狀況其實很簡單,「富裕」就是今年直接換iPhone Duo;「小康」則是換iPhone 18 Pro;「清寒」就等iPhone 17降價再入手;至於最後一級「貧困」,則是繼續抱著手上的iPhone 13,告訴自己「還能再戰5年」。原PO也不忘自嘲,自己正好就是最後一級。

貼文曝光後迅速引起不少網友討論,許多人看完都忍不住開始對號入座,也有人笑稱「看到最後一級突然笑不出來」、「我的iPhone 12是不是已經不在表內了」、「原來不是不想換,是財力不允許」。一個玩笑性質的「果粉財力分級」,意外成為今年新iPhone價格之外的另一個熱門話題。

玩笑背後太現實 換機先過荷包這關

這份分級之所以會讓這麼多人有感,也和今年iPhone整體價格明顯往上拉有關。iPhone Duo本來就定位高階摺疊旗艦,售價自然不便宜;iPhone 18 Pro系列也比前代貴上一截,依容量不同漲幅約5,000元至21,000元,iPhone 18 Pro售價44,900元起,iPhone 18 Pro Max則從49,900元起跳。也難怪不少果粉開始重新盤算換機計畫,是直接衝新機、等前代降價再入手,還是乾脆繼續讓手上的舊iPhone「再戰幾年」。

當然,網友提出的「iPhone換機身價」純屬趣味玩梗,並不能真的拿來判斷一個人的經濟狀況。不過若從行政院主計總處公布的2026年台灣薪資PR值來看,今年上半年薪資中位數,也就是PR50,為39,283元,代表有一半受僱員工的月薪低於39,283元。再往上一個級距,PR60為43,603元,意指月薪達到這個水準,已經高於約6成受僱員工,但仍低於iPhone 18 Pro的44,900元起售價。

Wei Xun responded to the U.S. commercial litigation case: lawyers will be appointed to study legal countermeasures and take legal action as appropriate.

The arbitration dispute between Liwei, a subsidiary of Weixun, and Ascion continued. The U.S. Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan ruled twice on July 23 and July 30, confirming that the arbitration judgment was only made against Liwei and did not include Weixun in the scope of confirmation and execution. The Bank of China Law Firm appointed by Wei Xun stated that Ascion's external statement that Wei Xun was jointly and severally liable for compensation was inconsistent with the actual content of the judgment, and it would appoint a lawyer to study the legal liability and take legal action as appropriate.
