Is Apple’s iPhone X a Disappointment or Not?
Notably, the iPhone 5S was the first iPhone to finally get rid of that rounded-square icon on the home button, thanks to the implementation of the Touch ID fingerprint sensor. A new report claims that, the iPhone SE 2 would come with 2GB of RAM with 32GB and 128GB of Memory Storage configurations. Audio will be routed via the Lightening connector and Bluetooth instead. As was always expected, Apple might remove the headphone jack on the iPhone SE 2, but that shouldn’t be a deal-breaker for some as the iPhone SE 2 is also said to feature wireless charging and packs Apple’s A10 Fusion processor, which powers the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.
The X’s sky-high price may have been a big factor, and recent rumours suggest Apple is working on a far cheaper iPhone SE 2 to follow the original that came out two years ago. According to the iPhone case maker Global sources, mobile Apple is developing iPhone SE2, its second generation phone and the company may launch it in May. A tech publication shared information that, according to their findings pertaining to the internals of the iPhone SE 2, they found more than ten variants in existence.
Rumors about an iPhone SE 2 have been piling since late previous year, too. “The iPhone X is dead”, analyst Neil Campling of Mirabaud Securities said in a research note to clients reported CNBC.
Being an low-priced iPhone edition, the new iPhone SE 2 would also skip the 3D sensing.
The iPhone SE is a popular model and is selling well in emerging markets like India. The S&P 500 sank 22.99 points, or 0.85%, to 2,670.14 at the close. A new leak now reveals some hardware details of the phone.
KGI Securities’ acclaimed analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has predicted the phone will be shelved pretty soon. There’s no iPhone like the iPhone X, that much is crystal clear.
There are many speculations about the next release in Apple iPhone series for the past few months.
That’s important for Apple, particularly in emerging markets where cheaper smartphones are more successful, which have become increasingly important for the Cupertino company in recent years. Some macro factorsare at play, too.
Wall Street brokerages forecast that Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) will announce $2.69 earnings per share (EPS) for the current quarter, Zacks reports. All we would see in the new generation iPhone SE would be a more powerful Chipset with new functionality with its software.
