Ming-Chi Kuo returns to the fray with his predictions. This time he wants to talk about the iPhone Special Editio, which this first time was an iPhone with the facade of an iPhone 5S, but inside it kept all the power of the latest iPhone model at that date, we are talking about the iPhone 6S, with its brand new 2GB of RAM and a camera with the best of the best. However, little or nothing Apple spoke about this new range of iPhone so special. However, according to the Chinese analyst, Apple will not present another SE model in 2017 due to various circumstances.
According to Kuo, Apple will sell between 40 and 50 million units of the iPhone during the beginning of 2017, something quite similar to what was offered during the last quarter of 2016. These very conservationist perspectives are due to the drop in demand for the 4,7-inch iPhone model in China, in favor of the units with more screen offered by the smaller national companies, such as Oppo or Meizu. However, perhaps comrade Kuo is overconfident in Asian companies, a fairly closed market.
For all these reasons, Apple will not launch another edition or an update of the iPhone SE, thus preventing the cannibalization of the sales of its other devices. Apple has sold around 40 million units of the iPhone SE in mid-2016, something that would decrease slightly in 2017.
However, the reasons from my point of view are much more logical, the iPhone SE has a scandal price for what it offers, and having enjoyed it since the day of its launch, and having an iPhone 6s at home, I can attest that the performance is so exceptional that we could classify it as superior, in a restrained design thought by and for the comfort of the user.
