There are some differences in price, warranty, network format, and other aspects between the Chinese and Hong Kong versions of Apple phones. The following are specific comparisons:
1. Price:
The selling price of Guoxing mobile phones is usually higher than the Hong Kong version. This is because China Mobile's entry into the Chinese market requires payment of certain taxes, while the Hong Kong version does not. Therefore, under the same configuration, the price of Hong Kong version mobile phones is usually more competitive.
2. Warranty:
Apple provides limited warranty services for Hong Kong phones, but only for Apple phones purchased in the Hong Kong region. If there is a quality issue with the phone, users can repair or replace it at an Apple authorized repair point in Hong Kong. On the other hand, BOC mobile phones can be repaired or replaced at Apple authorized repair points in Chinese Mainland.
3. Network format:
The network format supported by the Hong Kong version of mobile phones is usually the same as that of China Mobile phones, but there are also some differences. For example, the Hong Kong version of the iPhone 13 Pro Max supports the N79 and N78 frequency bands, while the Chinese version supports the N78 and N79 frequency bands. The differences between these frequency bands may affect the quality of signal reception.
Overall, the Hong Kong version of the Apple phone may have more advantages in terms of price and network format, but it is not as good as the national mobile phone in terms of warranty. Therefore, users need to make choices based on their own needs and the actual situation in their region when purchasing.
