When Samsung took the risky step of launching the first Galaxy Note, it was absolutely right. It was not about getting users to choose a bigger phone, but about offering us more size options. When phones began to "grow", not a few iOS users turned to Android looking for larger screens and that is the reason why I am surprised by some data from Slice that tells us that the iPhone SE is attracting Android users.
Slice Intelligence data shows that the iPhone SE is getting more switchers than previous models of the apple smartphone. It never ceases to amaze me for several reasons: the last iPhone to be launched has been an iPhone 6s / Plus that has risen to 2GB of RAM, has increased the number of megapixels of the main camera by 50%, multiplied by 4 the front camera and it has a 3D Touch screen, while the iPhone SE has a 2013 design, the front camera is the same as that of the iPhone 5s and has arrived without 3D Touch.
The iPhone SE is attracting more switchers than iPhone 6s
According to the first data from slice intelligence, the iPhone SE could help Apple gain a foothold in the iPhone user base. Only 35% of iPhone SE buyers had purchased another iPhone in the past two years, while 16% of them were Android users. The iPhone 6s was bought by 49% of users who came from another iPhone and 10% of the total changed an Android device that they had bought less than two years ago.
Slice Intelligence also provides other data such as that more than half of the buyers of an iPhone SE are between 45 and 54 years old, while the users with that age who bought the rest of the devices were only 18%. 77% of those who have bought the new 4-inch model are men, something that is also surprising if we take into account the size of the hands of both sexes. In any case, the data from Slice only confirms that it gives users where it gives us and that it is difficult to know what will happen in the future.
I see it logical that men prefer more 4-inch iPhones than women, it is not for their hands, it is for comfort, women use bags, they like big and long things, they are more administrative and they are more entertained with social networks so they consume more multimedia. Men, on the other hand, are simpler, more "comfortable" many for work on site or work that is not comfortable to carry a panel or it is logical to think that they want 4 inches. but there is everything, I only speak of what has been said in the article that men buy it more, since you find it curious and I have shared my point of view that there is nothing curious about it, I say that I already see it coming to feminists and other sects.
