Release of successor model of Apple "iPhone SE" April 16 at 10:13

Major US IT company Apple has announced that it will release a low-priced version of the "iPhone," the successor to the "iPhone SE." There is concern that the sales of smartphones will slow down due to the spread of the new coronavirus, and it will be important to see if this will lead to a rise in demand.

Apple announced on the 15th that it will release the low-priced version of "iPhone", "iPhone SE", in more than 40 countries and regions around the world.

This is the successor model to the "iPhone SE" released four years ago, but the screen is 4.7 inches larger than the previous model.

The price starts from $ 399 in the US and over 40,000 yen in Japanese yen, and in the US the reservation will be accepted from the 17th of this month.

The number of smartphones shipped around the world has reached a ceiling due to longer replacement cycles, and there is concern that sales will slow due to the spread of new coronavirus infections.

In February, Apple announced that sales for the past three months until last month could not meet the initial forecast, and it will be noted whether the release of a new model will lead to demand digging.
