iPhone SE 2 / iPhone 9 Price Will Reportedly Starts At Around Rs. 28,500

According to a previous report by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, iPhone 9 / iPhone SE 2 will start at $399 (around Rs, 28,500). This is also the starting price of the iPhone SE that was launched in 2016. Today's report of Fast Company also confirms this information, citing the supply chain of Apple's iPhone.

In 2016, Apple launched its cheapest iPhone called iPhone SE, which was priced at only around Rs. 28,500 for the 16GB model, having the same hardware configuration as the iPhone 6s Plus, which was the top-end model in the iPhone lineup.

Apple can continue to apply this strategy to the iPhone 9 (some sources suggest that it could be called iPhone SE 2), but in a new way. The handset will reportedly have a 4.7-inch screen, bigger than that of its predecessor iPhone SE but smaller than the iPhone 11. The design will be similar to the iPhone 8, with the Home button and Touch ID sensor. Under the hood, it will be powered by the Apple A13 Bionic chipset.

For Rs. 28,500, the phone will be equipped with 64GB storage instead of 16GB like the iPhone SE. Meanwhile, the 64GB model of the iPhone 8 is still priced at Rs. 36,999. Obviously, if you choose the iPhone 9, it will be much more beneficial. For example, the iPhone 9 / iPhone SE 2 will have a newer A13 Bionic chipset.

Explaining Apple’s decision to set the iPhone 9 at a price of Rs. 28,500, the report says that the US-based giant is focusing on services like Apple TV +, Apple Music or Apple Arcade and it wants more and more users to use their devices with the latest version of iOS.

An affordable iPhone will be an attractive upgrade option for users who still have iPhone 6, or even iPhone 5. Moreover, there are currently many Android smartphones available on the market for the same price that offer powerful performance and arguably the same as what the iPhone 9 could offer.

However, this is not official information from Apple, so you should take it with a grain of salt. A recent report suggested that the handset could make its debut in mid-March, so we might get more details in the near future.
