    If only they could give it a unique feature that would put it in a class by itself...hmmm.

    Maybe make it smaller than the other models?  Like, say, the size of the SE that it's supposedly "replacing"?
    Isn't the differentiating factor for the SE its smaller size rather than price per se, as it appeals to those who don't want or like the larger sized iPhones. Sure,, price can be adjusted down by using older tech, but a current specs smaller iPhone would be very attractive. Whether they go with a shrunken version of the current form factor of iPhone 11 or use the SE template would be an interesting consideration. Plus we would be in the upgrade cycle for those who purchased SEs and are looking to upgrade to a new smaller sized iPhone. It's all about the size.

  • iPhone 11 Pro versus Pixel 4 - comparing the best smartphone cameras

    It feels crazy that nowhere in this comparison did you mention which camera got closer to what the scene looked like in real life. That's a far more important metric than just comparing one against the other. Personal preference is going to factor a ton when just comparing one to the other, but I don't care about the style of each camera. I want to know which one was closer to capturing reality. I have a sneaking suspicion that because of the way the iPhone saturates colors and makes things generally look brighter (which people subjectively tend to like better) that the Pixel was closer to reality for the most part.
    "It feels crazy that nowhere in this comparison did you mention which camera got closer to what the scene looked like in real life."

    Spot on. To critique and say the colors are more vibrant or the shot is darker is not a failing if that is what the situation was.

    Everybody ain’t me.
    A smaller sized phone (not the price per se) would be attractive to a large enough iPhone base. I recently bought the Se and that's the size I want. I wonder if Apple are just waiting another year or so for that SE base to move into the typical "upgrade phase" to release a smaller sized iPhone 11 equivalent?

  • Apple's iPhone sales down 13% in Q3, accounts for less than half of total revenues

    People upgrading their iPhones on a longer timeframe is not a surprise. The need to upgrade is less compelling as the phones remain highly functional over many years. 

    This change in growth is best seen as a correction in the "market". Where the high yearly growths of the past reflected the advances in iPhone models, but also people’s reaction to them. It became a thing to upgrade your phone to the newest model.   The market and mindset is probably a lot more mature and settled and this may become the new normal.

    The financial markets have this obsession with consumers to spend-spend, and for this to drive growth-growth. Whereas, what we should be hoping for is consumers showing careful and considered spending. That makes for a more sustainable economy and in turn drive longer term benefits.
