Apple makes mistakes. Apple often closes large projects, but after while reviving them. For example, it was with Macintosh Portable. So it was with social network iTunes Ping, which became part of Apple Music. Something similar happened with the service MobileMe, which is the prototype of modern iCloud. The most unfortunate Apple project is considered to be iPhone 5c.
Long before official announcement iPhone 5c there was an opinion about budget version iPhone. As a result, it was found that budget smartphone for only $100 cheaper than flagship iPhone 5s. Of course, iPhone 5c has another advantage, such as five color choices, however it was not enough. iPhone 5c sales failed.
Apple is not used to leave behind good ideas. At this time, the company decided to take the design iPhone 6, multiply it by the size of iPhone 5 and add hardware stuffing iPhone 6s. A great smartphone for the middle segment. Apple receives new smartphone in familiar form factor, with the same rounded edges, but more compact.
Recently, all we are talking about iPhone 5se. The usual form factor, familiar design, easy to use with one hand. Many users do not like the fact that the company decided to increase the size of iPhones, that’s why many of them began to look at Android smartphones. As you know, the range of Android devices is very wide: diagonal from 4 to 5.5 inches, actual hardware and software, restrained design. It seems that Apple was frightened and decided to release 4-inch iPhone.
Also, do not forget that many people are using older models, such as the iPhone 4, 4s, 5, 5s. All of them will be easier to upgrade to iPhone 5se in terms of size and habit. It’s worth noting that iPhone 5se will not be much cheaper than the current iPhone 6s. Probably the cost will be the same even at the time of the announcement of a new model of smartphone. Apple iPhone 7 will be announced in autumn 2016.
Actual Apple’s smartphone lineup is as follows: $450, $550 and $650 for iPhone 5s, 6 and 6s with 16GB of memory. By autumn the position will change: iPhone 6s will take the place iPhone 6 and it will cost $550. New iPhone 5se will belong to this price category.
According to the latest news, iPhone 5se will receive a pair of processors A9 / M9. Also iPhone 5se not necessary to have 3D-touch display. This would allow Apple to save on the cost of the new smartphone, reducing its retail price – a key indicator for the end user.
If all predictions about future iPhone 5se are correct, then new smartphone will be reborn iPhone 5c. But this time Apple does not make the same mistakes with the spoiled first impression. Now all call iPhone 5se as an alternative to flagships. Excellent phone with great features. We are waiting for the official announcement iPhone 5se to make final conclusions.
