Considering the market response following the release of iPhone 6s, 6s Plus and SE, Kuo and KGI Securities are “skeptical” about Apple’s projected growth for 2016.

This is exactly what the folks over at Chipworks have done. The question now is whether you should purchase the discounted iPhone SE or wait for the new device? The teardown shows the A9 application processor and 2 GB of SK Hynix DRAM as well as an NXP 66V10 NFC controller, a six-axis inertial sensor and a Qualcomm MDM9625M modem. It explained that the chips inside the iPhone SE are already improved which means the power consumption factor has also been developed. Depending on the model, the iPhone SE’s cost and performance-optimized RF section supports up to 18 global LTE bands, which is about the same as the iPhone 6 but less than the current 6s. Apple has been working on new sales strategies, but never before has the iPhone been dropped down to such drastic lows! The company is aiming the SE at people who haven’t upgraded for several generations of the iPhone, as well as at consumers who prefer a smaller phone and a lower price tag.
The new iPhone SE failed to impress with its sales the first weekend after its release, according to statistics from Localytics, Sina.com reported Tuesday. Come Friday; it will cost Rs 49,000, which is Rs 10,000 more than the base 16GB model.
Speculation that reached the web before Apple actually took the wraps off its new 4-inch iPhone pointed to various names for the device, including iPhone 5 SE, iPhone 6c, and even iPhone 7. The main reason is its small screen.
The screen size as well as the resolution of the iPhone 5SE is same as the iPhone 5, while there are some alterations made to the mechanical components such as the modified enclosure.
The Apple certified refurbished phones stand a good chance as they will be seen as being of good quality, Kaur said.
“The larger screen models and the iPhone 5S all had better opening weekends than the iPhone SE”. If the analytics of Wall Street is right then, Apple will sell its billionth iPhone anytime in this summer.

Daniel Gleeson, senior analyst at IHS Technology, said that the market can not expect the same fanfare for the opening of iPhone SE as compared to other iPhone launches. “Not everyone can carry around a 6” phone in their pocket, and the new SE promises big specs in a tiny body.
