Back in 2015, we were worried that Apple had decided to ditch the 'C' range from its iPhone line-up and stop making 4-inch iPhone after a huge success of the 4.7-inch iPhone 6s and iPhone 6 and the 5.5-inch iPhone 6s Plus.
If you are Apple fan, you must know about the best Apple analyst in the world- Ming-Chi Kuo. In the latest reports from him hi tells, that Apple has cancelled the idea of the up-gradation of iPhone SE.
In the recent research note written by Kuo and obtained by MacRumors say that Apple won't be releasing the 2017 version of iPhone SE. For those who have forgotten about this mini 4 inch iPhone, it was a hit and after the launch of iPhone 7, reports The Tech Bulletin.
There are 2 reasons behind the dropping the idea of the iphone SE 2. One is to increase margins on the 2016 iPhone SE as its older components reduce in price. And other reason state that it will reduce risk of cannibalisation that a 2017 iPhone SE could have sales of the mare profitable iPhone 7.
Previously Apple did the same thing with iPads as well as MacBook Pro upgrades. People were waiting for the new upgrades but the company moved at its own velocity. However, in that time the already existing models worked perfectly well for all requirements.
Right now still there is no official statement from the company and Kuo is also not correct always. But every Apple leak or news has been accurate since last 18 months by Kuo.
