Having ambitious goals to capture the smartphone market is excellent for Apple. However, the manufacturer does not fully understand that people are willing to spend their money on high-performance products rather than buying a bitten apple for fun or status. The new Apple iPhone SE 2022, announced for production at the beginning of 2022, may repeat the fate of the iPhone Mini, as its starting price does not seem attractive. Looking back at all the phones in the SE series, there is no doubt that in terms of performance, they will significantly lag behind the main models.
Apple iPhone SE 2022 May Repeat the Fate of iPhone Mini
The problem is that even with 5G support, a smartphone with reduced specifications cannot cost $900. That is the price Apple indicates. More precisely, the price of the Apple iPhone SE 2022 will be less than 900 US dollars. It could be $899 or $888. Definitely, the cost will be above $800.
A pleasant aspect of the new product is the large screen. It will be over 6 inches. There is even information that the Apple iPhone SE 2022 will be available in two versions – 6.1 and 6.7 inches. But this does not change the essence, as what matters most is convenience in use, not design, 5G, or minimal Apple product prices. We have already encountered a similar issue when the Apple iPhone SE 2020 was released. No one expected the new product to be so terrible. This particularly concerns the reduced battery, which does not last even a day.
It is very desirable for Apple to respect its fans. If budget-friendly devices are offered, why not make the display smaller? Or save on wireless modules with memory. Reducing chip performance is the wrong approach.
