| Apple plans a smaller and cheaper iPhone in March |
According to Bloomberg's report, Apple plans to launch a smaller and cheaper iPhone soon. Giant technology providers began bundling affordable iPhone models in February, the first model since the iPhone SE to help the company recognize the device. in March.
The new phone set is divided into Foxconn, Pegatron, Wistron and Wistron.
Reports, rumors and predictions were released about cheap iPhone models last year. Some of them come from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who has proven to fulfill Apple's expectations.
Analysts have already announced that the next low-cost model will look like the iPhone 8 with a 4.7-inch screen and will run on the Apple A13 processor, which also runs the iPhone 11.
IPhone 8 is still on the market and is currently selling $ 449. The company sold the iPhone SE when it launched in 2016 for $ 399.
It turns out that the most expensive iPhones are popular with consumers, including the newer iPhone 11, which starts around $ 50 off the usual Apple price.
Another Bloomberg report said that iPhone manufacturers recently asked TSMC to increase A13 processor production this quarter, as demand for the iPhone 11 was higher than expected.
Bloomberg not only mentioned the screen size of the device and processor used, but also said that the device will have the built-in Touch ID in the main button that will reuse the familiar Apple technology instead of the one used under the screen like most modern Android competitors choose the built-in fingerprint sensor.
The device does not have the Face Recognition feature in the Apple Face ID because it is unclear if the device is named for the iPhone SE 2.
It should be noted that low-cost iPhones can help strengthen Apple's position in the most competitive and dynamic emerging markets, especially India. IPhone sales in India are still struggling and affordable Android devices are becoming more and more popular. ,
Cupertino hopes to increase its share of the global smartphone market before launching the iPhone 5G cellular network later this year. Apple hopes that after targeting more than 200 million devices, mobile phone shipments will increase again this year. By 2020, the successor of the iPhone SE will play an important role in this goal.
