It has been a year since its release, and the cumulative evaluation is only 2W, and the sales are 100 times worse than the iPhone 14. You may also be curious about a question: as the cheapest A15 model at present, why does the iPhone SE3 have no sense of existence at all, and has fallen to the point where no one cares? I have summarized 4 reasons.
1, because of the small screen, the internal space of the iPhone SE3 is very limited, and it must sacrifice battery life, audio and video experience, and gaming experience, and the only benefit is that it is more portable. Mobile phones are already a digital product that we rely heavily on, with an average of nearly 5 hours of daily use. Sacrificing the screen for the feel is really not necessary.
2, according to the average 3-year replacement cycle, the replacement model of iPhone SE3 is the model after 2018, that is, the iPhone XR, iPhone 11 batch. As the saying goes, "it's hard to get back", people who are accustomed to using a large screen of more than 6 inches will no longer accept a small screen of 4.7 inches.
3, at the price of 3,000 yuan, iPhone SE3 has no advantage over Android models. Android at the same price has Snapdragon 8+, with 100-watt fast charging, high brush, high-frequency dimming, and 12GB large storage. The only thing that the iPhone SE3 takes is the A15 chip, and everything else is a short board.
4, more critically, the standard version of the iPhone SE3 starts at 64GB. Writing here, I subconsciously looked at the data of the iPhone storage space, as of March 2023, the latest version of the installation package of Genshin has been 21.72GB, and the glory of the king has been 12.45GB. Installing two games at random, the 64GB flash memory is half occupied, and it cannot be used as the main machine at all.
The small screen form is out of touch with the needs of the times, and the target users are unwilling to change the machine, compared with the Snapdragon 8+ model of the same price, it lags behind everywhere, and the standard version of flash castration cannot meet normal needs. To be honest, a product like the iPhone SE3 is normal that it is not easy to sell. The dismal end of the iPhone SE3 can only be said to be expected.
For Apple, the mission of the iPhone SE series is only to clear inventory and take care of the low-end market by the way. But the author wants to say: even if it is to clear the inventory, at least consumers must be willing to pay - adults, the times have changed, not to put an apple label to call a good product.
In short, the iPhone SE3 is a performance upgrade for the iPhone SE2. But if you use the same routine a second time, the effect will be halved. It is certainly out of time to continue polishing old molds.
It is reported that the screen of the next generation iPhone SE4 will be changed to a 6.1-inch OLED notch screen, similar in form to iPhone 14, and will try Apple's self-developed 5G baseband for the first time, and the charging interface will be replaced with USB-C, and the price will be set at about 3500 yuan - this is our ideal iPhone SE series. What do you think about this, welcome to discuss.
