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.

The Huawei Ban Is Justified (Hear Me Out)

So a few a year or so ago I talked about the consequences of using a Huawei phone here  and more than a year later things aren't all that different. Recently Huawei was accused of being a security threat by the United States and has asked all American companies to not do business with Huawei. So that means that Huawei is now cut off from Intel, Qualcomm and most importantly Android. Now this might seem harsh at first glance. The US is unfairly targeting a law abiding company just for the fact that it is Chinese. But a closer look reveals much more.  How China Does Business Unlike in the west and much of the world. China does not have a protections for intellectual property. That means that no ones protecting your idea from being ripped off by someone else and then being brought to market. In most of the world if someone violates a patent you can sue them. Case and point look at pressy a small Kickstarter that makes a small button that plugs into your phones headphone jack (

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 party brows

My iOS 13 Wishlist

Around this time last year I wrote the  iOS 12 wish list , And to my surprise most of my prayers were answered, and iOS 12 has been wonderful for the last 5 months or so. But now we're coming up on another WWDC, Yes its still 5 months away but that hasn't stopped the rumour mill from speculating what the next version of iOS will be.Here are a few features that I'd like to see on the next version of iOS. A New Look For iOS 13 Ever since iOS 7 iOS has looked the same more or less, With its flat icons and punchy colours. I feel that the time for a refresh is long overdue. Don't get me wrong it looks great but, Its stale and I fresh new coat of paint can go wonders in making iOS 13 feel radically different. Apple has their work cut out for them if they do decide to go down this route. Finding a new design aesthetic isn't the most easiest thing in the world. When you consider that the new design refresh will have be loved and should be simple to use for millions
