On September 5, it was reported that a familiar rumor had become popular recently - analysts predicted that Apple would launch a new iPhone that was small and "cheap".
It is reported that iPhone sales have been declining for several quarters in a row. Apple is trying to stimulate sales through the trade in plan to attract consumers to upgrade their phones. Apple has even lowered the price of the XS series and XR of the iPhone in some regions. In the past, the official price of the iPhone would not be lowered unless new products were introduced.
At present, the name and price of the successor to the iPhone SE have not been announced. It is said that the iPhone SE will be released in the spring of 2020. Analysts predict that the sales of iPhone 11 will continue to decline. Apple launched the small screen iPhone to challenge Samsung, Huawei, OPPO and Google Pixel 3a at a lower price
It is reported that the new cheap iPhone uses a 4.7 inch screen like the iPhone 8, and uses a cheaper LCD screen instead of using OLED like Apple's flagship phone. JDI will provide most LCD panels for Apple, and LG Display will supply the rest. This new model may use the same chip as the flagship model, perhaps a rear single camera, but it should be the same as the main camera of the flagship model.
However, the author would like to pour cold water on people who are looking forward to the small screen iPhone. It is said that the 4.7 inch new iPhone may not appear in the market. One of the most important reasons is that the mobile phone of this size is not popular with many people at present. The most important thing for Apple at the moment should be to increase its profits, The author believes that the launch of this so-called cheap iPhone will not make Apple's book look good.
In addition, Apple will not meet the requirements of a small number of fruit powder in its products. Everyone knows that this is unrealistic. In fact, many people just want a mobile phone that is easy to operate with one hand, and the iPhone 8, iPhone X and iPhone XS can meet this demand. It is more realistic to expect that the price of these models will be significantly reduced in the future than that of Apple's successor to the iPhone SE.
