Just a week ago, Bloomberg, citing sources familiar with Apple's plans, confirmed the imminent launch of the new budget iPhone. Its production should start in February, and the official announcement will take place in March. This data was partly confirmed and supplemented by the top manager of the Cowen investment company Chris Sankar. About it writes AppleInsider.
Sankar noted that Apple will release 46 million iPhones of various models in the first calendar quarter of 2020, up 12% from the same period last year. Of these 46 million, there will be six million "iPhone SE 2", which will sell for about $ 475 (≈30,000 rubles). Earlier it was believed that the novelty will cost about $ 400 (≈25,000 rubles).
Chris Sankar predicts that Apple will ship approximately 195 million iPhones in FY2020. At the same time, the main competitors of the company will not be able to greatly improve their positions - production Huawei smartphones year on year may decline by 10%, while Samsung's performance will remain at the same level.
Recall that the new budget Apple smartphone should be a direct successor to the iPhone SE, but in size it will be closer to the iPhone 8. It is credited with a 4.7-inch screen, the classic Touch ID fingerprint scanner in the button below the display, and the flagship A13 processor, like the iPhone 11. The novelty will be targeted at emerging markets where it is difficult to sell smartphones with price tags of $ 1,000. The device can be named iPhone 9.
