"One of Cybart's warning signs is that "India is not the next China," despite being positioned as one of the next big growth markets for iPhone. India has reportedly rejected Apple's request to import and sell refurbished iPhones in the country, following a similar proposal rejected in 2015, and its regular-priced iPhones are too expensive to attract significant market share in the region."
I believe you're wrong. It makes no sense to hold back on features just to "have a selling point" a year later. That just gives the competition a chance to move ahead.I believe the company could have added it to the iPhone 6, but chose to defer it a later to have a selling point. If you think otherwise, you are likely fooling yourself.
Sure they work on features for years. They're working on a car, too. Why not release the car this year? Is it to get us to buy more of them three or four years down the line?So the evidence proves Apple works on a lot of features years and advance. I am sure many are ready years in advance too, but of course, marketing and company leadership might choose when to release it.
I think Trump wants an iPhone SE so that his fingers will look longer.She has trouble picking up and holding my 6s Plus, and she even has problems with my daughter's 6. Although my wife has tiny child like hands.
I experience is a little different. I went from the 5s to a 6s Plus thinking that the larger screen was better. I do enjoy the larger screen, but only when I am stationary, like sitting and can have both hands on the phone. For one handed use, I hate the 6s Plus. Also, finding places to store the 6s Plus is becoming a problem. Example, I do not have anywhere to put the phone in my cars while driving.Had the SE launched at the same time as the 6s, I'd have gotten the 5SE, better design and much better value for money.
Many still consider the iPhone 5 design as the last design from the days is Jobs at Apple, with the iPhone 6 being influenced by Samsung and Htc designs.
Good point. This is true for at least me. I thought the larger phone would be better, but now I want to go to the smaller one.Customers have no idea what they "truly want". I couldn't agree on that more with what Steve Jobs said about this subject in the past.

I could never go back to the tiny iPhone. I think they will keep all form factors going forward IMHO.Many still consider the iPhone 5 design as the last design from the days is Jobs at Apple, with the iPhone 6 being influenced by Samsung and Htc designs.

I just have this gut feeling that the iPhone SE will backfire on Apple. Their basically decreasing potential iPhone 7 sales just to obtain numbers today.
As soon as mobile announced their uncarrier pricing, I knew this would become a problem. Over the last year I have bought 5 new older model phones for around (50$- 100$) each, 2 nexus 5, 2 LG g3 and an iPhone 5S. Although Canada still has 2 year contract, I would have to pay nearly 50$ a month more to get an iPhone 6s for the amazing subsidized price of 300$. No phone is worth that much for a slightly better user experience.This is what happens when U.S. carriers abolish the former two-year subsidy plans and cost-conscientious consumers are pinching pennies.
Peeps laughed at a 4" phone but 1 month later and I'm still loving mine.

Apple is suppressing supply to create artificial scarcity and hype around the phone
Someone on hear last week was saying that the SE models were collecting dust on the shelves. My wife works for Verizon and they've been sold out and having to direct fulfill all storage sizes of the SE for awhile now.

Just out of curiosity, what all do you keep on your phone? I take a lot of photos and video and 64GB is more than enough for me. Could not do a 16GB without having to regularly delete things, but I could make it work.
Seems far more likely that Apple was just ignoring everyone who wanted a flagship spec small screen phone, and since they were living in their fantasy world didn't recognize how high demand would be.Nice try Schiller. Manipulating demand by constraining supply is the oldest trick in the marketing book.
At least one person was gullible enough to believe.You're right of course but most of the people in this forum are gullible and won't believe you.

Lots of carriers around the world have.. its not just the u.s.This is what happens when U.S. carriers abolish the former two-year subsidy plans and cost-conscientious consumers are pinching pennies.
