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.
Though the name and price of the new model hasn`t been decided, it is viewed as the latest generation of the iPhone SE, the Nikkei Asian Review reported on Wednesday. Reported to be similar to the 4.7-inch iPhone 8 that was launched in 2017, the new iteration would arrive next year.
