The iPhone 16E is the fourth generation of models that are historically sold at dramatically lower prices.
Apple has released Elegantra and a more expensive version of his iPhone with the lowest prices in attempting to expand the audience for an artificial intelligence technology package that the company hoped will revive the demand for its most profitable product line.
The iPhone 16E presented on Wednesday is the fourth generation of a model that is sold at a dramatically lower price than the iPhone standard and premium models. Previous models for the award were called iPhone SE, and the last version was published in 2022.
Like Greater price iPhone 16 lineup Discovered last September, the iPhone 16e includes a Supena computer chip needed to process a series of AI features that automatically summarize text and sound and create emoji in flight, at the same time reducing virtual assistant devices, Siri. It will also have a more powerful battery and camera.
All these upgrades will turn into a higher starting price for an iPhone 16E to $ 600, which is a 40 percent increase compared to $ 430 for the last iPhone SE. But the iPhone 16e will be more affordable than the cheapest standard iPhone 16 to $ 800. The new phone will be available in stores on February 28, but it can be pre -registered at the beginning of Friday.
Maximize the reach of vs profit
Apple also tries to balance his desire to offer a more affordable iPhone that will lure more people in their sphere of interest in maximizing earnings from the sale of products with higher prices, according to an analyst forrester Research Dipanjan Chatterjee.
“The problem with a lower product in the luxury portfolio is that you want to be good, but not so good that the cannal of the crown’s gems,” Chatterjee said.
Although Apple was Ai -focusing Since last June, the complete set of features has not yet been published in the United States, and technology is still not available in some parts of the world.
Delays in the production of iPhone AI – called “Apple Intelligence” – everything is available through free software updates of Dinged the Cupertino, California Company last season of the holidays, when the sale of the device dropped slightly from their 2023 levels.
Apple was primarily lost by the soil in China, where it is not yet stated when the iPhone AI technology will be available. But the company recently hit AI partnership with Alibab in China, which could open the way to the technology that comes to iPhones in that country in the first half of this year.
In addition to being able to deal with AO for the first time, the iPhone 16e has a different look from the previous models. It has a 6.1-inch screen, slightly larger than a 4.7-inch screen on the model and no longer has a button for the starting screen it had. The new iPhone 16E will include the ability to identify the face to unlock the device, just as models with higher prices do.
