if you look at how the iPhone 16 has been performing across the world, right, it's not meeting expectations according to some analysts. But if the company comes out with a phone, obviously, they've been planning this for multiple years that brings down the price point of features like an edge screen, Face ID, this thinner look with the squared-off edges globally at a sub-$500 price point. They're going to be bringing something quite compelling to the market. Now, the reason this is not so much about India is because in India, the market share leaders, they're not sub-$500 phones, they're sub-$200 phones, right? So, they're still not playing in that particular market that would boost market share significantly in India, but this would help them make additional strides globally. Mark project code name v59, what are sources telling you about a refreshed iPhone SE? Yeah, so that's the iPhone SE, that's the new low-end iPhone, and this is going to look similar to the iPhone 14 from a few years ago. It's going to have

the internal specifications to support Apple intelligence. There's going to be upgraded cameras over the prior SC. The current SC launched in '22. That's when they added 5G to it, but it still has the home button, right? It's the only iPhone left with the home button. In fact, it's the only Apple product that hasn't been updated to remove the home button. They've already transitioned the low-end iPad, right? They cut the price of that and made that a full-screen design. So, this was the lag in the product line, and that's going to change now. And this is going to make things easier for Apple. They don't have to support older operating systems for that much longer that support a home button. They're able to move to a user interface that's consistent across all of its devices. So, this is a big deal for the consumer and for Apple as a company. And I think this is going to be an extremely strong seller.
