Apple's cheaper iPhone SE successor may arrive next year
The new model would be Apple`s first low-cost smartphone since the launch of the iPhone SE in 2016, which started at $399.
Aiming to take on Huawei and other Chinese rivals, Apple is reportedly mulling to resurrect the cheaper iPhone SE for emerging markets, especially India and China, early next year. The new model would be Apple`s first low-cost smartphone since the launch of the iPhone SE in 2016, which started at $399.
