It Might Be Time to Say Goodbye to Apple’s Cheapest iPhone

January 18, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Tech News

It seems sense to want an iPhone that performs almost as well as the iPhone 14 while costing around half as much. Evidently, no. If analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is to be believed, Apple may decide against releasing the next generation of its budget-friendly iPhone SE next year.

On Jan. 6, Kuo stated in a Medium article that “the supply chain has received orders from Apple indicating that the manufacturing and distribution plans for the 2024 iPhone SE 4 have been scrapped rather than delayed.”

The 2024 iPhone SE could have been scrapped by Apple as its Pro line becomes more well-liked

If Kuo’s forecasts come true, Apple alone will be aware of the cancellation’s rationale. However, studies and news reports indicate that there could be a straightforward solution.

The popularity of more costly iPhone models may make Apple feel less motivated to pursue less expensive devices like the iPhone SE. The third-generation iPhone SE, which was released in March, has a starting price of $429 and is effectively an iPhone 8 with an iPhone 13’s internals.

In his iPhone SE (2022) review, CNET’s Patrick Holland dubbed it a “mind-blowing deal,” but he also pointed out missing features that made it feel archaic, like as the absence of a full-screen design or night mode for the camera.

Similar strategies were used in earlier iterations of the iPhone SE; the 2020 model, for example, basically had the same design but used the iPhone 11’s processor. The 2016 variant combined an iPhone 6S chipset with an iPhone 5S chassis. According to YouTube celebrity and gadget leaker Jon Prosser, a speculated fourth-generation iPhone SE would feature a new design that was reminiscent to the iPhone XR.

Think about the modifications Apple just made to its iPhone 14 range to get a sense of why it may have decided to scrap the upcoming iPhone SE. In contrast to the previous two years, Apple did not introduce a more affordable “Mini” model of their brand-new flagship iPhone in 2022. Instead, it unveiled the iPhone 14 Plus, a bigger version of the standard iPhone 14 that costs $100 more than the $799 model. This move raises the entry-level price for consumers.

The move may be explained in part by the fact that more costly iPhones frequently sell well, according to the evidence. According to Counterpoint Research, the average selling price of an iPhone increased 7% year over year in the third quarter of 2022.

Additionally, the market research company stated in June that Apple held a 62% share of the worldwide premium phone market in the first quarter of 2022. Considering that the third-generation iPhone SE starts at $429, it’s vital to keep in mind that Counterpoint considers premium phones to be those that cost $400 or more. However, the research did state that the iPhone 13 series was mostly responsible for Apple’s gain in the premium segment.

According to Josh Lowitz of Consumer Intelligence Research Partners, during the previous two years, the iPhone SE has barely contributed to 5% to 8% of quarterly US iPhone sales. According to Munster, the Pro versions generally account for 35% to 40% of sales of the most recent iPhone models in a given year, while the iPhone SE accounts for roughly 20%.

The $100 price difference, or even a $200 price difference, “isn’t that much each month because you’re paying over such a long period of time,” said Lowitz.

Questions regarding the future of the SE line in general are raised by the possibility that Apple may have scrapped the 2024 iPhone SE. In 2020, Apple introduced the SE logo on the Apple Watch for the first time, and in September, the company released a follow-up to that device.

Apple Launches New M2 Pro & M2 Max Chips In The MacBook Pro & Mac Mini

January 18, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Tech News

The M2 Pro and M2 Max versions of Apple’s M-series processors have been added, and the upgraded 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models as well as the Mac Mini desktop are now available with these chips.

According to Apple, the M2 Pro architecture is scaled up to provide up to a 32GB of rapid unified memory, a 12-core CPU, and a 19-core GPU. The features of M2 Pro are expanded upon by M2 Max, which offers a GPU with up to 38 cores, twice the unified memory bandwidth, and up to 96GB of unified memory.

The latest 14-inch and 16-inch MacBooks promise battery life up to 22 hours and add Wi-Fi 6E

The M1, M1 Pro, and M1 Max CPUs from the older models have been replaced by the new chips in the new MacBooks and Mac Mini, which have the same design as their predecessors. The M1 Pro and M1 Max variants of the MacBook Pro as well as the M1 Mac Mini have all been tested and reviewed in the past.

M2 Pro/Max added to MacBook Pro

When the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro computers were introduced in October 2021, a change from the prior MacBooks’ softly bent lids to a more structured, squared-off form with a flat lid and sharp corners became apparent. These computers also lacked the touch bar interface found on earlier MacBook Pro models; only the 2022 M2 13-inch MacBook Pro retains this functionality along with the vintage appearance and feel (for now).

Apple’s claim of a battery life of up to 22 hours—the “longest battery life ever in a Mac”—is the largest change, aside from the processor generation. Additionally, the MacBook Pro upgrades its Wi-Fi to Wi-Fi 6E from Wi-Fi 6 and has an HDMI connector that now supports 4K and 8K screens at up to 240Hz and 60Hz, respectively.

According to Apple, the M2 Pro processor does image processing in Photoshop up to 40% quicker than the M1 Pro, while the M2 Max can render effects in Cinema 4D and color grade in DaVinci Resolve up to 30% faster than the M1 Max.

Price:

The price for the new 16-inch MacBook Pro with M2 Pro starts at $2,499 (£2,699, AU$3,999), while the price for the 14-inch MacBook Pro with M2 Pro is $1,999 (£2,149, AU$3,199).

The First Upgrade To The Mac Mini Since 2020

The M1 CPU, which eschewed Intel, was added to the Mac Mini at its most recent version in 2020. The M2 and M2 Pro chips are both available in the updated version.

According to Apple, the M2 version of Photoshop can perform up to 50% quicker than the M1 version, while the M2 Pro edition of Final Cut Pro can transcode up to 4.2 times faster than the M1 Mac Mini. There wasn’t a Mac Mini M1 Pro version available for direct comparison.

A variant of the Intel Mac Mini, which was still available (along with the M1 version) until this announcement, has likewise been discontinued by Apple. The only remaining Intel-based Mac that you can buy straight from Apple is the Mac Studio desktop. If you really, certainly must have one, several merchants, like Best Buy, still carry the Intel Mac Mini.

For the M2 version of the new model, prices begin at $599 (£649, AU$999), and for the M2 Pro version, they start at $1,299 (£1,399, AU$1,999).

The new Mac Mini and MacBook Pro will both be available for pre-order starting on January 17 and will begin shipping to consumers and retail locations on January 24.

The 24-inch iMac, the Mac Studio, and the Mac Pro desktop are further items that might potentially receive M2, M2 Pro, or M2 Max processor improvements later in 2022.

And no, there isn’t a touchscreen yet, despite some recent speculations.

Apple is rumored to be preparing to unveil two new Mac products during its WWDC 2022 event in June 2022. Apple is expected to debut its much-anticipated MacBook Air only a few months after the Mac Studio and the Studio Display, according to speculations.

The Cupertino-based tech company has announced that the World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) will begin on June 6 and run through June 10. WWDC 2022 will be held in Cupertino, California. Apple normally announces operating system upgrades during their WWDC event, but Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says that the company is considering announcing more than just significant OS updates.

Gurman claims that Apple will finally show off the next-generation MacBook Air, which was previously revealed by Jon Prosser. While Gurman hasn’t revealed any specifics regarding this year’s MacBook Air, it’s rumored to include an Apple M2 SoC and a new chassis. The Apple M2 is said to include 8 CPU cores split evenly between performance and efficiency, as well as 9-10 GPU cores.

To put it another way, the Apple M2 will have the same number of CPU cores as the Apple M1, but two more GPU cores. Other enhancements over the Apple M1, such as a smaller TSMC N4 manufacturing process, are said to be included in the Apple M2.

According to the rumor, Apple will not only show off iOS 16 and WatchOS 9, but it will also show off the next-generation MacBook Air, which will include an Apple M2 SoC and a revamped chassis. The Apple M2 is said to include 8 CPU cores split evenly between performance and efficiency, as well as 9-10 GPU cores.

In essence, the Apple M2 has the same number of CPU cores as the Apple M1, but it also has more GPU cores. Other features of the Apple M2 over the Apple M1 include a smaller TSMC N4 manufacturing process.

Furthermore, according to the source, Apple is going to announce a second Mac device at the WWDC, but he did not specify which device this would be, though he has suggested that it might be a new 24-inch iMac, an iMac Pro, a Mac Mini, a Mac Pro, or a MacBook Pro 13.
