        AnonD-92238, 31 Oct 2017In other words apple wants to maximize their profit margin ... moreSo you're suggesting they lose money doing business? You should be thankful you have a job bud, cause with your childish mentality, every company in the world (including the one employing you) should go bankrupt, sack every staff (you too) and leave people poor (you). Brilliant.

            Good move Apple. Give smaller manufacturers a chance to prove themselves. Qualcomm is a now giant fat cat, filled with suits and bankers who likes to abuse patents

                Whocares, 31 Oct 2017My question is if that "leaked" Iphone SE2 is really true o... moreYes, its true I got to play with it.
                It will get FaceID and lose the Home Button like the iPhone X, only that it will get a 4.9 inch screen that's basically an iPhone 5 display that's extra long/bezelless.

                I think they will call this second SE model: The iPhone SE X.

                  well of course qualcomm won't give them any software. Apple haven't paid them any royalty for using their chips.

                    So next iPhone is gonna be 2000$? Development is the most expensive part of product, if something goes wrong it will be included in final price of product.

                      Anonymous, 31 Oct 2017You are 100% right. That's just the nature of this company.... moreOh damn son! The truth in reality for Apple, that gonna hurt them XD

                              Good on you Apple. Give other smaller underdogs a better chance. Don't let the big suppliers abuse the price hikes!

                                Vegetaholic, 31 Oct 2017Apple soon will be making everything itself, no surprisesSomeone believes in unicorns too? They will never make things themselves. They steal, they copy, they file patents so they can sue for things they stole and they keep the sheeps.

                                  Smart move, since they got caught abusing patented things.

                                    Apple soon will be making everything itself, no surprises
