In the coming weeks we are seeing Apple's new Apple. In fact, one of South Korea's most important telecommunications companies has already announced its pre-bookings. It wouldn't be a high-end model, as it was introduced in September last year, though signal for modest features. This will have an impact on his share price, which will be less than $ 500.
Some believe its price will be about $ 475. However, there are other ways that guarantee its retail price will go down: $ 399. It's the same exit cost that the iPh one SE had in 2016
The “affordable” price to enter the Indian market
Several analysts believe that Apple needs a mobile phone cheaper than the brand usually offers if it wants to be an option in India, the world's second-largest smartphone market in the world (after China). The company has big plans of that region, and that is that it will finally open its online store and its first physical store by 2020.
Except that the $ 399 iPhone will be an incentive for Indian consumers, who tend to pay less than $ 200 for an Android smartphone, and why Xiaomi is so popular in the region. it may attract the attention of the Chinese market, it's very competitive and where brands such as Huawei, Vivo and Oppo are competing for cake. But something is not only moving with these two countries, but the interest is global.
Not everyone wants / can spend 800-1,000 euros on a smartphone, but they may be willing investa An estimated 400 euros in use lasting a few years and providing good performance
This could be "iPhone 9"
In the absence of an official name, the "iPhone 9" would have been a device comparable to what the iPhone SE had in its day: a smaller-sized smartphone with good value for money. However, in this case I will have one 4.7 "IPS LCD Retina display (not 4 "as SE) with a design similar to that of the iPhone 8, that is, with borders.
IPhone will install the Apple A13 Bionic processor with a Neural engine
In terms of security, I would not have a face recognition ID system, but a fingerprint sensor Touch ID. And that with the same design of the iPhone 8 we'll have a physical launch button on the front.
If the $ 399 price is guaranteed, we have to see how much it comes from in Spain and abroad, since it is possible that 1: 1 matches can be retained, in addition to the need to think about taxation. Currently, Apple is offering the iPhone 8 64GB for 539 euros, so its withdrawal is almost guaranteed once the "iPhone 9" is obtained.
