New iPhone 9 - or New iPhone SE - would be released in April 2020 by Apple
The conception of this new iphone model originates from Apple's 2019 sales report, in which the company concluded that users would accept a new, smaller iphone with a home button.
In this sense, Apple wanted to develop a new model with these characteristics, the iPhone 9. The forecast before the pandemic was that the iPhone 9 would be launched in March 2020 and it was expected that the sales volume would exceed 30 million units since There are Apple users who would love to get a smaller iPhone with a home button in the iPhone 6,7 and 8 design. This design would be especially attractive to emerging markets and can sell for less than $ 440, a great price if you do. we compare with the launch of iPhone SE with a starting price of 399 USD. The test phase that ended in January 2020.
The ihone 9 is a cheaper mobile that is expected to have a Plus or larger variant that will consist of a 5.5-inch screen that runs the A13 Bionic 2019 chipset, and that also matches the current line of iPhone 11.
The new iPhone 9 lineup will replace the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus 2017 as the cheapest entry points to the iOS realm.
But the design of this new iPhone should be different enough to persuade iOS users to renew their iPhone 8. The iPhone SE launched with the same camera and processor as the iPhone 6S.
The market clearly welcomes lower-priced iPhones, as evidenced by strong demand for the iPhone 11 and iPhone XR before it, but it's unclear whether the consumer will accept the iPhone 8's design that has become a bit dated in the past. the one this new duo is based on.
Both the iPhone 9 and iPhone 9 Plus are likely to keep the TouchID security option and the generous chin that comes with it. However, their arrival has been delayed indefinitely as the supply chain suffers from the COVID-19 outbreak.
According to a new report, the company held an internal meeting to discuss how to proceed with the launch of this new mobile, and the conclusion of this meeting is that the iPhone 9 will be made official on April 15. It will then be available on April 22. It's unclear whether the company plans to hold an online event for the launch, or will simply issue a press release and wrap up.
The iPhone 9 will supposedly start at $ 349 or $ 399, making it an intriguing new entry in the mid-range price war.
As for the design of this new model of mobile, expect a blast from the past, with huge screen bezels and a physical capacitive touch ID sensor on the front, below the screen.
The final name is also not completely defined as there are strong rumors that the iPhone 9 will be launched on the market as the new Iphone SE.
As far as the release deadline goes, given that we are still dealing with a pandemic globally, it goes without saying that Apple's plans could change once again.
Let's hope they don't, and maybe Google will also choose to announce the Pixel 4a soon so that it can fight with the iPhone 9 for the hearts and minds of consumers who aren't willing to pay double or triple for a smartphone, especially given the situation right now.
