At the break of dawn on September 10 (Beijing Time), during Apple's autumn new product launch event of 2026, the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and Apple's inaugural foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo, were unveiled. In the wake of the event, the scalper market sprang into fervent action. Reporters from BlueWhale Tech conducted interviews with a number of scalpers and channel distributors. It was revealed that this year, scalpers exhibited a heightened eagerness to procure products, offered higher quoted prices, and engaged in stockpiling on a larger scale compared to previous years. This phenomenon was mainly attributed to the cross-regional price disparities and the initially tight supply.
