Anonymous, 08 Oct 2020No man, I said iPhones are for those *willing* to pay more ... moreApple definitely came with iPhone 5C. But it was priced at €300, approximately $350. This was the problem. If it was priced at about $200 consumers might have accepted it. The main reason why iPhones are expensive is because of their honest services they provide for a span of 5 years. I really like Apple Inc. Moreover, Apple devices are more secured than Android devices. Even if a person accepts Apple's Quality and Services, he/she should have deep pockets to procure one of their devices. Hence, it goes without saying that Apple products aren't affordable by all. What I actually want from Apple is to become the global market leader. This is possible only if Apple wishes to provide budget devices like Android. They can introduce a budget product line if they wish. Apple definitely have the capability to do it. It is not necessary that iPhones should look and feel the same way tomorrow. Such high quality is not needed by everyone. Just presume budget Android devices with Apple's iOS. It is the software that makes the mark. You might say that this iPhone SE is comparatively cheaper than other iPhones but, this SE doesn't have the size and looks of a budget Android device. Let's take my case. Though I can afford iPhone 12 Max, I'll not purchase it because I am not ready to waste my hard earned money on it. For some, Apple iPhones have become a status symbol. For me usability is more impotant than aesthetics. For me, small screens are not usable for all works. Phones can be used only for urgent tasks though people extract more from it. For urgent tasks (booking a cab, messaging, calling, WhatsApp, to refer things in www, etc.) I use an Android device and for other tasks like e-banking, editing photos and browsing the web for a long time, I use a Apple Tab. I don't play games because it just kills my time. To my belief, to really enjoy playing games a tablet suits well more than a mobile. Moreover, I rely mostly on my computer than tablets and mobiles. But, if Apple introduces budget mobiles like Android, I'll definitely prefer it over Android. I said all the above for the betterment and enrichment of our beloved world.

To end up, everyone have their own beliefs and they have got every right to frame their own. It is not necessary that you should accept everything what I say. Life is nothing but a infatuation for things. Above all, I know that every dream can't become a reality.

    This could have been a good phone, if only they had at least 3000mah battery and better screen and, though not required, notch display. Well, there are plenty of good Android alternatives anyway.

      Subramanian CN, 07 Oct 2020You said that iPhones are for those who can pay more and no... moreNo man, I said iPhones are for those *willing* to pay more not less for the extra quality, not CAN pay more, let's not make this a strictly poor or rich thing please, not so rich people can have taste for what they personally use, and that doesn't necessarily mean apple BTW.

      Now people buying in the $200 or less price segment are people who don't have understanding or appreciation for quality or user experience, apple customers in contrast expect quality from their products, when apple came out with the plastic iPhone 5C it was immediately rejected, again apple customers are willing to pay more but they also expect more in return, apple never came out with a plastic phone ever again. See?

        NewUser07, 08 Oct 2020I don’t want an IPhone SE which is not an SE, also I don’t ... moreThanks for your suggestion. But the point is that I never asked anyone to suggest. I just expressed my taste and views. If you want only a SE go with it. My views are not for anyone except me and Apple Inc. I used to write in these option columns just to convey something to the manufacturers. It is their wish to take it or leave it. For you information all messages with importance to Product Design and Development would be forwarded to the respective manufacturers by the owners of respective sites. It is for this reason these websites exist.

Really for its specs the IPhone SE is perfectly balanced regarding all points, design, components, price. So stop saying any of you oh it would be better if it would had a bigger battery or screen or whatever it comes in your minds. If you want something with bigger etc and etc go look for something else. Clearly this product is not for you.

            The word "Bargain" doesn't only mean bargaining for money. It also means bargaining for betterment. I only meant the latter.

              Anonymous, 07 Oct 2020I said, iPhones are not for people looking for a bargain, w... moreYou said that iPhones are for those who can pay more and not less. Well. Coming to the point, if the name SE bothers you, I am sorry. I didn't mean a SE phone, by the way. I just meant a better device than this SE. As you've said, today, Apple might not interested to compete with Google. But, no one knows about tomorrow. Will not Apple manufacture today's iPhones in high volume, if there are plenty of takers? Definitely, Yes. Coming to iPhone 12 Mini, let's wait to see what it is.

                Subramanian CN, 07 Oct 2020If Apple mobiles are only for the rich, they wouldn't ... moreI said, iPhones are not for people looking for a bargain, who said anything about rich anywhere.

                And AGAIN you don't have any idea of what an SE iPhone is so I will have to tell you, an SE iPhone is a previous generation case with up to date electronics and software, in this case the iPhone 8 case is used, same happened with the original SE, it was the 5S case with 6S internals. Current iPhones don't use fingerprint scanners anymore.

                Apple doesn't compete in the android most popular $200 segment nor is looking to sell their phones in high volume.

                The iphone 12 mini will have the larger screen, the improved battery in a similar sized body, it's going to be $650 in case you want it.

                  Anonymous, 07 Oct 2020You don't have any idea of what an SE phone is, anyway... moreIf Apple mobiles are only for the rich, they wouldn't have introduced this mobile. Moreover, I haven't said anything about its price. If the head and chin space gets reduced by moving the fingerprint scanner to the side, it'll pave way to increase the screen size without compromising on the size of the phone. By increasing the size of battery by another 1200 mAh, the phone will become little thicker which can easily accommodate the finger print scanner on its side. If not, it can be shifted to the back. As you have said, I admit that I am not rich as you. So what. Tomorrow, if Apple provides budget devices as cheap as Android budget devices, it will give them the opportunity to attract more consumers from Android. If this happens, I believe that you'll not be jealous of me or Apple.

                    Another thing you fail to understand iPhones are for people willing to pay more not less for the extra quality and not for people looking for bargains.

Needless to say, a bigger battery say 3000 mAh. Nothing more. The phone size would remain the same. Is it a decent bargain ?
