IPhone SE concept (6c or 5se)

Analyst Ming Chi Kuo has presented a report for KGI investors in which he talks, in addition to some of the specifications of the iPhone that is currently known as iPhone SE (name that in Spanish has its grace due to the play on words «iPhónese»), of its price, which according to the Chinese analyst will be around the 400-500 $. He does not dare to give specific deadlines for when mass production will start, saying only that it will start soon.

Kuo believes that Apple will ship (which is not the same as selling) 12 million units in 2016 and assesses the possibility that the iPhone 5s see its price reduced, something that might seem logical but it is not so much if we take into account that it already lowered its price last September. Total shipments of 4-inch iPhones will, according to the analyst, grow 131% over last year, reaching 37 million units.

iPhone SE: A9 processor and 12MP camera

The clearest difference between the design of the iPhone 5s and that of the 4-inch iPhone SE will be in the "2.5D" glass coating, which refers to the rounded-edge glass that first came in on the iPhone 6. According to the leaked renders, the other big difference will be the position of the sleep button that will go from being at the top to the right side, as it is also on the iPhone 6 and 6s. Inside, Kuo believes that the iPhone SE (although the analyst never mentions the name) will have A9 processor (and therefore M9 co-processor), 12MP main camera y chip NFC to be able to make payments with Apple Pay. What nobody talks about is the Touch ID that will arrive with the next 4-inch iPhone, but most likely considering everything it has inside is that it is the second generation that is present in the iPhone 6s / Plus.

The iPhone SE, or 5se or 6c, will be unveiled at an event expected to take place on Winners will be announced in March, although a last rumor that comes to us from Korea ensures that it will be delayed one week until the 22nd. If the forecasts are met in the rest of the periods, it will be available for sale 3 days later. Are you going to buy the iPhone SE?

    Well if Ming Chi Kuo says it, we will all have to believe it ... because it is clear that everything Ming Chi Kuo says is an official source for you, as a kind of direct connection with the god of bitten apples or something like that. It is your iBuda ...
