What to Expect From the 'Apple Launch' Next Week

Maybe they should focus on the SE as the budget option rather than keeping older iPhones on sale.

I tend to think this is a new product line over a spec bump. Unless they’re announcing a major refresh of existing.

I am expecting disappointment.

If Apple were to launch the iDisappoint, it would likely come in four models:

• iDisappoint Mini – For those who hoped for innovation but got a recycled design.

• iDisappoint SE – Same disappointment as before, but at a slightly lower price.

• iDisappoint Pro – Now with a premium price tag and an adapter you didn’t ask for.

• iDisappoint Ultra – The most advanced disappointment yet, featuring exclusive “Pro Grumble™” technology.


And of course, all models would be available in the exciting new color: “Space Letdown.”

It's for a new product line, likely related to smart home technology with AI. It seems to be a competitor to Alexa but with a screen—something like HomeHub.

Whatever it is, I hope the remember to include some sort of bump on the bottom housing so the thing wobbles like the iPhone. That is design, people.

We're four pages in and no one has mentioned the obvious?

Apple Car.

You saw it here first 👍

Guys, I don't think it's a new product.

It's probably just the SE, but with a new name. Family of iPhones. Or as somebody mentioned before: the new Apple 5G chip (inside the SE).

16E makes more marketing sense than the SE 4 based on rumored specs. But with the expected price gap, I would not be shocked if Apple went to $599 for the 16E and stopped selling both 14 and 15 at the same time.

Then you have Good, Better, Best Apple loves to do:

$599 16E
$799 16
$999 16 Pro


EDIT: Adding that when the 17 launches in the fall, that is the perfect time to drop the 16E price to $499 as it will have 'old' hardware compared to the new models. This would also allow Apple to offer AI on all sold phones. This makes perfect sense IMO.

That might just happen considering the nomenclature of 16e.

It also might mean the starting price will be greater than $500.
