While Apple has several versions of the iPhone, which the company updates annually, there is a whole layer
More available
At that time, Apple did not want to associate itself withcheap and affordable devices, they have only the best and only expensive. Since then, the situation has changed dramatically, the brand has lost its cult status, now these are just good smartphones that almost cost the money they ask for them. So, insiders say that the company is ripening a plan to release an additional modification of the new affordable iPhone 9 - the older version, possibly 9 Plus. The information became available due to a leak in the code of the operating system iOS 14. It states that some larger model will also receive the A13 Bionic, as well as a cheap iPhone. Recall, for the first time this processor appeared on the iPhone 11 smartphones, which are now relevant.
What's new
The standard SE 2 will have a diagonal of 4.7 ", then the plus version will have a larger screen, most likely 5.5". The new model will be released next year, it will be simplified as much as possible, Face ID will not be available, in place of which the old Touch ID interface will return. Some experts believe that increasing the diagonal of the new smartphone means that the company has decided to completely get rid of the eight, and instead of it nine will now be sold in emerging but numerous markets such as India and others.
Most likely, Apple conceived a peculiarrebranding eight to nine. After all, everything is the same there, there are simply 8 and 8+, just in the new smartphone there will be a more efficient processor and new components that support new versions of the operating system. iPhone 9 will receive a familiar home button, but not a physical one, but a touch response with the Taptic Engine. Such a button appeared already on the seven four years ago.
According to rumors, the price tag of the iPhone 9 will be 399dollars, but for more prestige and more profit, the plus version with a 64 gigabyte drive will be $ 100 more expensive. In principle, the price tag for both versions will be very attractive, taking into account the brand and level of performance. If anyone does not remember, the processor showed test results that are superior to all existing smartphones and many laptops. It is comparable in performance to the quad-core i5 processor from intel.
The company already realized how important todayaffordable smartphones. And although the equipment, functionality and level of technology for the same price you can buy flagships of Chinese manufacture, the brand has not yet been canceled the attractiveness of the brand. The company hopes that the inexpensive nine will become as demanded as the last flagship. In this case, Apple will release additional batches of low-cost smartphones, and in the future will fix a special affordable version in its gamut.
