Domestic mobile phones have begun to play cost-effective again!
The first thing that needs to be explained is that it is not said that domestic mobile phones are not good, and cost-effective products are not good. On the contrary, in recent years, domestic brands can be said to have made rapid progress!
Thousand yuan machines have popularized more than 30W fast charging, and even 120W flash charging. The workmanship materials are also increasingly aligned with large manufacturers, and the quality of domestic mobile phones has become the norm.
There are also some well-known magic machines.
At the same time, the smartphone market has reshuffled after a brief period of price increases. And due to the maturity of 5G technology, the cost of components is reduced. So everyone started to play value for money again!
And the consequences are:
"Thanks to" the Snapdragon 888 / 888 Plus pull-and-cross, the 870 model is instead of the latecomers. As a result, the product lines of major manufacturers have become extremely chaotic. For a time, nesting doll models emerged in an endless stream, the price range was too large, and the user group was once confused.
Just when Guozi was writing, Blue Factory was about to release 888 nesting doll machine iQOO Neo5s...
As the first Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 moto edge X30, the original price of 3199 yuan, the first taste price of 2999 yuan, but also disrupted the market routine.
Looking around, next year's domestic mobile phone market may have only one word to describe: chaos!
I don't know if this Xiaomi 12 Lei will always be an overnight shui service executive. (Funny)
Considering the power consumption experience performance, although Guozi is a die-hard Android user, he also wants to defect to the Apple camp for a while!
Recently, according to industry news, Apple will launch a new iPhone SE 3 early next year, and the exposure of the iPhone 14 is also endless.
Let's dig up relevant reliable news, right? Even if you don't buy it, you can know yourself and know the other, which is not a bad thing.
The iPhone SE 3SE was born with a small and convenient selling point. Before the advent of the iPhone mini series, the SE series was the representative product of small screen mobile phones.
At present, there is news that in the first quarter of next year, Apple will launch the SE 3 model. This news is not nonsense. Previously, Apple said that the iPhone 12 mini sales were "not good".
Of course, this is for Apple itself, in fact, last year 12 mini achieved the tenth place in the world's sales. After the release of the 13 series this year, the industry said that it may not continue to release the mini version, and turned to the mid-range model SE 3.
Therefore, SE 3 must be a chip equipped with 5G signals, and this is also the first time that the SE series has been used, and the processor currently has A14, A15 rumors. According to personal experience, apples are likely to use A14, in order to reduce costs, and then sell for a real price! In addition, in terms of memory, according to the exposure information, 3G memory will still be used, and the storage will start from 128G. Personally, I think that for iOS, 3G memory is not very problematic under moderate use.
The FRUIT SE 2 serves as a backup machine, and the experience is decent. (The system and software are the latest version) And, due to the principle of the background mechanism of the iOS system, you can use it as you go, and you don't have to clean up the background too much. This ensures background retention and fluency.
At the same time, to the appearance that everyone cares about the most, Guozi believes that first of all, in terms of camera, it will still use a single camera of 12 million pixels. On the front of the screen, some people say that it will be a cut-out screen, with side fingerprint recognition. There are also rumors that it will continue to use the traditional three-stage approach of the iPhone 8 (SE 2) with TouchID.
Fruit let me tell you my personal opinion! At present, as far as Apple is concerned, it is generally difficult to make drastic changes to the appearance of mid-range products (after all, the appearance of digital series is changed once every few years). And whether it is design planning or re-opening the mold, it is not a small cost. This is not good for controlling costs and increasing profits.
Therefore, I personally prefer to use an XR-like FaceID notch design, although FaceID is still the unlocking solution of Apple's flagship, but now the cost of components can be well controlled.
The FaceID with the LCD screen can be properly castrated, which is perfect. The refresh rate may still be 60Hz, in short, I don't believe that Cook will give you a high brush on a mid-range machine! In fact, because of the poor sales of the mini series, the task of the SE 3 is to continue to take over the mission of Apple's small screen mid-range machine. As Apple's cost-effective model, the SE series is definitely the best choice to attract Android party into the pit Apple ecology! Not perfect, at least not at all! At present, the price of the SE 3 will be more favorable, and the starting price will be lowered, lower than the 3299 yuan of the previous generation! iPhone 14 everyone often ridicules: every time Apple opens a conference, then the year-long warm-up begins! Guozi is also paying attention to the information of the iPhone 14. You know, since the birth of the full screen concept, Android manufacturers have been out of control on the road of 100% screen ratio. And since the birth of the bangs screen, Apple seems to have been tireless about it, and by next year 2022, how to say that it should be changed?
Like the Android camp such a conventional punching design, I don't know if everyone is still dissatisfied? Or is it faceID irregular digging like this?
How it feels more and more outrageous... Although the industry has been speculating that the iPhone 14 will use a cut-out screen design. But in fact, Guozi personally believes that after experiencing the "thirteen spices", this matter is really difficult to say. If you use the front camera's cut-out screen alone, it means giving up FaceID. At the same time, isn't this the same as the Android camp? It's not Apple's style!
With faceID under the screen, Guozi believes that the current technology may not be so simple. And Apple will not use the immature program, you see that the fingerprints under the screen are mature, Apple is still not used?
The fruit is more inclined to continue to shrink the bangs like the iPhone 13. Of course, the above two possibilities are not excluded: give the user a surprise! Hopefully Cook can punch me in the face!
At the same time, as mentioned above, the next generation of products will abandon the mini series, so there will be: iPhone 14 / 14 Pro / 14 Pro Max models. In terms of performance configuration, TSMC's A16 processor of 4nm process will once again brush up the leaderboard, leaving little time for Snapdragon.
In terms of appearance, the Pro and Pro Max are expected to use titanium alloy process frames, and other models will continue to use stainless steel or aluminum alloys. At the same time, there is also news that the iPhone 14 series will continue to use BOE screen supply, which is currently being evaluated.
By the way, in terms of screen refresh rate, it should be consistent with the 13 series, and the standard version is only 60Hz.
In addition, as Apple has brought computational photography and ProRes RAW to mobile phones in recent years, the demand for data space such as users' applications and files has also continued to increase. The iPhone 14 Pro Max is expected to carry 2TB of storage (which is larger than some PCs), but there is a "bad" message: the flash memory particles will use QLC, not the current TLC.
Because the consumer market demands the large capacity of NAND flash memory is much higher than the rate and lifetime. Therefore, we have witnessed the birth of MLC, TLC, QLC. Simply put, the more data can be stored in the same volume, the more data can be stored. But that's only one advantage. Because the transmission rate and service life are decreasing. If the iPhone 14 wants to achieve 2TB of storage in the same size, then QLC is a nail in the coffin. In fact, the life expectancy can meet the needs of users for more than 5 years. In terms of speed, if there is not enough space left, it will really affect the experience of reading and writing files. So when it comes to big storage, what else do you think of? TypeC interface, of course! The Ligtning interface that Apple has been using for years may be abandoned next year! As for the reason, everyone should know, right? Slow charging, USB 2.0, poor versatility, whichever is a fatal factor affecting the user experience.
Since you all use 2TB of storage, it is not appropriate for me to use USB 2.0, right? Simply be cheerful, TypeC, USB 3.0, fast charge I want! At present, the exposure news of the iPhone SE 3 and 14 series is also like this.
To sum up: as a mid-range model, the SE 3 will continue to maintain a relatively affordable price and balanced performance configuration. In the eyes of the fruit, this is the real cost-effective product.
And the 14 series, there is currently a big controversy, whether Apple continues to eat the old bangs, or a blockbuster under the screen, or the crowd follows the digging hole.
Leave that to time, I hope it will not disappoint you! After all, compared with the Android camp, Apple's hardware performance has been far ahead, and in terms of follow-up maintenance, system optimization, software ecology, etc., Android manufacturers still have a big gap with Apple. This is probably the reason why apples eat old books in some aspects!
