With Apple’s cheaper iPhone expected to launch in March, it’s time to get the production lines ready for the iPhone 9, presumably to build up stock for a release shortly after Apple’s potential March event. Apple's new 4-inch iPhone SE packs almost all the power and features of the iPhone 6s into a package as small as - and even more affordable than - the iPhone 5s it replaces. The assembly work for the new handset will be split among Hon Hai Precision Industry, Pegatron Corp. and Wistron Corp., the people added.”The iPhone 9 (née iPhone SE2) is going to play an important part of Apple’s iPhone strategy in 2020. It is the much vaunted ‘cheaper’ iPhone, with a price expected to be in the $449 to $499 range depending on storage capacity. Curiously this is a price that Apple pitched the current iPhone 12 at on its website (although that is a price after you trade in your older iPhone).
