Whats Going To Happen To The iPhone SE?




Image result for iphone se
The iPhone SE was released all the way back in 2016 and it has been the saving grace of everyone whos a fan of small phones. The iPhone SE takes after the iPhone 5 which was released all the way back in 2012. But for a 6 year old design it looks and feels premium and surprisingly - modern.

So Whos The iPhone SE For?

Apple aim the iPhone SE at a demographic that prefers smaller phones, But whos not willing to skimp on the specs. A small but persistent demographic. For the last two years the iPhone SE has been the only small phone with decently modern specs. On it's release the iPhone SE could go toe to toe with the flagship iPhone at the time, The iPhone 6s. Thats mainly due to the fact that the SE is basically the 6s in an iPhone 5 body. The iPhone SE has an A9 chip, 2 gigabytes of ram, a 12 MP camera. All just like the iPhone 6s. The iPhone SE allowed all the people who were holding out from getting a new iPhone since the iPhone 5s to finally upgrade.

The iPhone SE Did Sell Well

Now most of you might be confused by this. You might  not have seen a whole lot of iPhone SEs over the past two years but the iPhone SE did sell in places you woudn't really expect it to. With the iPhone SE Apple found themselves in a price bracket they hadn't really broken into before. The iPhone SE retailed at $349. Earlier the entry level iPhone cost about $459 but with the iPhone SE you now had a phone that was dirt cheap but with decent internals. To anyone on a budget the SE was a bargain. The iPhone SEs attractive price point made it really attractive in price sensitive markets , That is the developing world. Over in India and markets as such. Price is king. A recent statistic revealed that in India most phones sold are below $230. The iPhone SE is well placed to take advantage of this price sensitivity. Now you could get an iPhone ( Which most people see as a status symbol) for a relatively cheap price and this tactic has worked. The iPhone SE has exploded in popularity in India. It is so popular that Apple decided to set up a manufacturing plant in India just to manufacture the SE and sales have skyrocketed.

So What Will The iPhone SE 2 Be Like?

Not like that. Whatever the iPhone SE2 looks like it won't be like that. There have been rumors that the iPhone SE will be getting the iPhone X treatment. With smaller bezels, Face Id and wireless charging. But according to industry experts this wont be happening. The iPhone SE is beautiful for it's price point. Sure the iPhone X version of the iPhone SE would be cool but it would cannibalize the sales of the iPhone X. Which would mean that Apple would be losing on the SE. In my opinion  the SE will release with an upgraded processor a better camera and maybe a glass back for wireless charging.
I know a lot of you were waiting for the new and revamped SE but it probably wont be happening.

So Which Is The Best Browser For Your Mac?

With all the chrome bashing that's been going on of late, It got me wondering and a bit jealous cause I was missing out on the aforementioned Chrome bashing. Does it really matter what browser you use? I mean they all fundamentally do the same thing, It turns all the ones and zeros of the internet into things that you can actually read on your screen. But as is turns out a whole lot of things have to happen for your favourite website to be displayed to you, In the shady back alleys of code that our browsers run on, It turns out that each browser does things a little bit differently. So what are our options? The Three main browsers that we'll be taking a look at today will be Safari, Firefox and Chrome.  Safari Safari is the browser that comes with your iPhone or iPad or your Mac as we are discussing in this case. It's a fast fluid responsive modern browser. It's my browser on choice. Safari a few things going for it. First off it's a first pa...

Why Google Is About To Pay Apple $9 Billion To Do Nothing

There's a saying as old as time itself, "Its about quality not quantity" this couldn't be more true for Apple. By no stretch of the imagination does Apple dominate the smartphone market. In fact it just got passed by Huawei as the worlds second largest phone manufacturer. With such a small market share, You'd think that Apple would be at the mercy of much larger and just as established OEMs. But as with many things in the tech world Apple enjoys an advantageous position in the market and that lets them do a few things that most if not all other OEMs can't do at scale. From making a chinless phone by bending an OLED display to making $150 dollar wireless headphones that would have most likely failed had another company made them.This vantage point given to Apple by its grip on software and hardware and it's almost cult like following has made it a force to be reckoned with.I mean they're about to sell their 2 billionth iPhone , With such a huge ...

Why I Love The iOS Files App

iOS has long been guilty of being terrible with files, You had third party file managers that promised to give you a great files experience. But most of them fell pitifully short, some did almost come close to being good but none came close to the flexibility and power that a file explorer on Android, Windows or MacOS could ever hope to give you.That all changed with the introduction of the files app on iOS 11. Why Bother With A Files App? Apple has been talking about  replacing the PC with an iPad for quite a while now and to truly replace a PC you need a few desktop features on iOS which is primarily a mobile OS. Ask anyone and they'll tell you that the ability to manipulate files is one of the most basic things that you'd expect a computer to do. After all one of the first GUI apps was a file explorer. So it makes sense to bring over the file explorer to iOS. But you just can't port finder over...
