– iPhone 15 Pro Max continues to play the card game, lowering prices sharply after Tet, making it difficult for Galaxy S24 Ultra to compete

Right after Tet, the price of iPhone 15 Pro Max had a sharp decrease, making it continue to become a concern for the sales of Galaxy S24 Ultra and Xiaomi 14 Ultra.

As is customary, every after Tet, smartphone prices on the market drop sharply due to low demand and iPhone 15 Pro Max is no exception. Even though there are competitors like the Galaxy S24 Ultra or Xiaomi 14 Ultra, the iPhone 15 Pro Max is still the king of the high-end segment, so when the iPhone 15 Pro Max drops in price, it will be difficult for its competitors.

During the pre-Tet shopping period, the lowest 256GB iPhone 15 Pro Max version costs about 31 million VND. However, now, its popular price is currently at 30.59 million VND even with some large dealers famous for selling at high prices. However, this is a direct purchase price. If you buy an old one for a new one, Vietnamese customers can still save an additional 1-2 million VND and take home the latest iPhone 15 Pro Max for only spending more than 29 million.

iPhone 15 Pro Max 256GB: 30.59 million VND;

iPhone 15 Pro Max 512GB: 38.39 million VND;

iPhone 15 Pro Max 1TB: 44.89 million VND.

Meanwhile, the main competitor of the Galaxy S24 Ultra is still at a listed price of up to 33 million VND. Although there are many promotions included, it seems that the Galaxy S24 Ultra does not want to compete with the iPhone 15 Pro Max during the current off-peak period.

– Many cryptocurrencies increased in price hundreds of times

While many platform blockchain projects, application development, and networks have little fluctuation, meme coins have increased in price sharply.

The cryptocurrency market has entered a period of strong growth in recent weeks. Bitcoin is closely following the ATH (all-time high) level established since 2021. However, overall, the world’s largest digital currency has only increased in price by less than 60% in the last 30 days. The group with the strongest increase in price is meme coin, increasing its value many times in just a short time.

For example, the Pepe coin, inspired by the green frog character, increased nearly 800% in the past month. The total capitalization value of this token is currently at 3.3 billion USD, surpassing a series of “serious” projects. Shiba Inu (SHIB) also increased nearly 400% in the last 30 days. Since October 2021, the price of the digital currency has reached this milestone again.

Dogecoin, Bonk, Floki, Maga… also grew strongly. The meme coin group comes from jokes and famous characters on the Internet. Cryptocurrencies of this type do not yet have many practical applications. They are developed by small teams and do not have complex underlying technology.

Meme coins often fluctuate strongly compared to major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or ETH because they are highly community-based and heavily influenced by investors’ emotions. The price of this asset is influenced by social networks and online users’ FOMO.

This is also the group of cryptocurrencies most likely to be scammed. As the market grows, many projects follow famous events to appropriate user assets.
