As an entry-level model, the reason why the iPhone SE series is not popular is mainly because of these three major pain points: 4.7-inch small screen, ancestral non-full screen design, single card single standby. Except for Apple, no mobile phone manufacturer dares to make such a thing out in 2022. It can only be said that fruit fans are too tolerant.
One of the most criticized is the shortcoming of the small screen. Also apple entry model, the iPhone SE3 castration is more difficult to accept than the iPad 9. Although the iPad 9 uses the A13, which is two generations behind, the screen is also 10.2 inches, which can meet the normal needs of users.
But the 4.7-inch small screen, even playing with the entertainment is eye-catching, let alone the video experience. Theoretically, the iPhone SE3 was so backward in design that it should have been obsolete. But helplessly, Apple gave it an A15 chip, so that it and the 6,000 yuan iPhone 13 have the same top performance, which has a certain purchase value.
But at the end of the day, the iPhone SE3 has always been a deformed product. As semiconductor technology slows down, it becomes increasingly difficult for Apple to empower the iPhone SE series with advanced chips. Iphone 14 is still using A15, but I can't arrange an A16 for iPhone SE4. The latest news came, and the iPhone SE4 did have new actions.
According to the well-known foreign media Jon Prosser, the iPhone SE4 design will usher in earth-shaking changes, bringing a total of two major changes, and the fruit powder has finally arrived.
First of all, the iPhone SE4 will abandon the old design, but will use a full-screen design similar to the iPhone XR, and the screen size is the same as the XR, that is, the 6.1-inch LCD full-screen. It can be judged that from 2023, the small-screen iPhone will face extinction.
Second, the iPhone SE4 will cancel the front Home button, but it is still in the testing stage, and the follow-up should choose one of the two schemes of Liu Haiping + Face ID and Liu Haiping + Side Fingerprint. Personally, I think it is most likely a side fingerprint scheme, otherwise it will not reflect the difference between the iPhone SE and the genuine iPhone.
It is reported that the release time of the iPhone SE4 is in the spring of 2023, and the iPhone 14 is staggered. If the news is true, I estimate that the sales of the iPhone SE4 will hang the iPhone 14, becoming the annual incense machine that is more fragrant than the iPhone 14 Plus, and the only suspense is the price.
Imagine if the iPhone SE4 solved the two pain points of small screen and single card, and could maintain a pricing of about 3500 yuan. Even if it continues to use A15+4GB storage, Android manufacturers will face great pressure at that time.
Compared with 120HZ high brush and 120W fast charging, many people will prefer to choose iOS system. Maybe the LCD screen of the iPhone SE4 is still a plus for some people. What do you think about that? Discussion is welcome.
