The iPhone mini looks much more modern than the iPhone SE

A little less than two years ago, Apple surprised with the entire range of iPhone 12 phones. There were four different models for each userand without a doubt one of the most attention-grabbing was the iPhone 12minifor being the smallest mobile that had been launched to date compatible with 5G networks.
With the iPhone 13 mini, Apple repeated the strategy. Smaller phones but that do not skimp on performance or technical specifications and are the same as the top model, only with a smaller body and, therefore, a little less battery. However, it is curious that the iPhone SE does not share design with them.
The 3rd Generation iPhone SE came with the same body as the 2020 model, which in turn repeated the design of the iPhone 8. We are talking about a phone with exaggerated frames and a low-quality LCD screen, but which despite this shares a chip with the iPhone 13. With the arrival of the iPhone 14 this year, the range is expected to disappear iphone minialthough the iPhone SE could take its place.
Can you imagine an iPhone SE with the design of the new iPhone?
Broadly speaking, the size of the iPhone SE and that of the iPhone 12 mini or the iPhone 13 mini are very similar. However, there are two crucial differences: the OLED type screen (not LCD) occupies the entire front and has Face ID thanks to the notch on the top. Instead, the iPhone SE has some big frames in which it incorporates the start button with Touch ID or the front speaker.
We talk about an outdated design for the present. If we look at the competition, the vast majority of firms already have models with “all screen” designs even close to 100 euros, while the iPhone SE costs 5 times more and arrives like this. The advantage is that it is a compact phone, but the iPhone 12 mini or iPhone 13 mini also turn out to be compact.
For this same reason, a good idea would be for Apple to use the body of the iPhone mini for its next iPhone SE of 4th Generation. We are talking about much more modern designs that attract more attention. In addition to having much higher quality OLED screens on the front and making much better use of space, they also have much better cameras than the iPhone SE, or at least we can already talk about them in the plural.
The strategy of the iPhone Xr could be repeated with the new iPhone SE 4
If something is clear it is that Apple learns from mistakes. We have recently seen presentations such as that of the , a most interesting device since it imitates the concept of the iPhone SE only that, in this case, it is much superior in many aspects, since Doesn’t cut as much with respect to options of large sizes.
However, this is not something new for Apple. Some years ago, along with the iPhone Xs we saw the arrival of the iPhone Xr, a device that despite the passing of the years. It was a mobile that copied the design of the superior models, and I only cut in aspects such as the camera or the screenwithout much importance for many of the users.
It was a huge sales success, but for some reason Apple ruled out this strategy in favor of the iPhone SE. It is quite clear that, at present, about buying an iPhone SE 3rd Generation an iPhone 13 mini is a better option or even an iPhone 12 mini, since they are the same size but improve in many aspectswhich is why Apple would have to consider a change in strategy.
Taking into account this brutal success and that it is a phone that continues to be sold today, it would not be surprising if Apple took the design of the iPhone 13 mini and adapted it to the iPhone SE in the next years. It would comply with the current values of the company, integrate in a compact size the maximum power.
Furthermore, the price at reduce components such as the screen or the battery It would not have to be so high, and having the best specifications in a small mobile is something that more and more users really appreciate.
Another option that would not be bad at all and that many users will surely love would be that Apple completely recovered the strategy of the iPhone Xr. Same size as the most modern iPhone, with reduction in features like the screen or the camera but that, at least in broad strokes, meet the needs of the vast majority of people.
Ultimately, it’s not clear why Apple is continuing with an outdated design and decadent features in the current 3rd Generation iPhone SE, but it’s understood that with the next model they should change things given the competition, at least if you want to get good results. And, select the design of the iPhone 13 mini or iPhone 12 mini as a base it can be a spectacular idea.
