The iPhone 9 looks set to launch in the near future, finally bringing a new cheap iPhone that many have been waiting for since the iPhone SE was unveiled back in 2016.
However, where the previous budget model from Apple was designed for those that love a smaller phone, the new iPhone 9 (or maybe iPhone SE 2) looks set to be larger, aping the design first used on the iPhone 6. There may even be an iPhone 9 Plus.
While the cheaper iPhone 9 is likely to be popular in most countries, Apple will likely be bringing this out to also service more emerging markets, where cheaper phones sell well. These territories might have been able to buy the older iPhone 8, but offering a 'new' iPhone to them will have significant marketing power.
The new, lower-cost handset from Apple was originally expected to launch in March, but it wasn't unveiled alongside the iPad Pro 2020 or New MacBook Air.
The idea makes sense - although, if they go with the name "iPhone 9", then it'll be really confusing, since their main release line is up to "iPhone 11" now . Indeed, it sounds like this is aimed at the same segment of the market as the iPhone SE - so, to me, it'd make more sense to call it the "iPhone SE 2".
Of course, knowing Apple, they'll probably come up with something else, completely out of left-field !
