What We Want is Single Hand Operation Rather than iPhone SE

What good is mobile phone with small screen size? I am afraid that this question should be really difficult to answer because any product has its value. But after careful thinking, we can easily find that most people are keen on small-screen mobile phones. Is really love the small screen? With doubt, we will analyze it for you.

In fact, we didn't have the concept of a small-screen cell phone before. The reason why this concept would have to be traced back to the moment when the iPhone SE was born. In 2016, most of them were large-screen mobile phones. Even Apple had introduced two series of large-screen mobile phones, the iPhone 6 and 6S. In this period, Apple abruptly reversed its actions and released 4 inch at the beginning of the same year. The screen of the iPhone SE. The launch of this phone caused a lot of controversy at the time.

First of all, the appearance of the iPhone SE is like the iPhone 5S, so that many people are questioning whether Apple has to do it in order to clean up inventory. But in fact, at the Apple conference Cook explained that the iPhone SE was launched. The reason is "For some people, they still only like small-sized mobile phones."

However, since the second half of 2017, most of them are full-screen mobile phones. Whether it is 18:9 traditional full-screen or 19:9 bezel-less screen, it has injected fresh blood into the smart phone market. It is also due to the arrival of a full screen to further enhance the screen share of the mobile phone screen. The advantage of the ultra-high screen ratio is that the larger screen has a smaller size, and what follows is more suitable for one-handed grip.

For iPhone X, it's easy to see that the iPhone X has a 5.8-inch screen, but the overall size of the phone is only comparable to the iPhone 8. It can be said that the size of the iPhone X precisely has the visual experience of one-handed operation and also has a large screen.

We went back to the controversy that was encountered at the very beginning of the first generation of the iPhone SE and left behind whether Cook had really designed it for him to take care of users who liked small screens, but he may also want to clear inventory. In Lenovo's new iPad in March of this year, just upgrading the CPU and supporting Apple Pencil as a new product.

Seeking truth from facts, Apple products are indeed very high in the level of industrial design, whether it is iPhone or iPad can their strength. However, in recent years, Apple has indeed made some slow progress on the road to innovation, but it is an indisputable fact that the iPhone 8 series still continues the appearance of the iPhone 6 era. The iPad series still follows the design language of the first generation iPad Air. Of course, there is no big problem in simply upgrading the core hardware under the classic look. However, after so many years of precipitation, the user had aesthetic fatigue.

There has been a lot of exposure videos and photos on the iPhone SE2 on the Internet, but Apple still has no news whether to launch or not, and we don't have much guesswork here. However, returning to the theme, if Apple really continues to introduce iPhone SE around 4-inch screen, will you buy it? Presumably everyone should also come up with their own answers.

One-third of 2018 has already passed. Looking at the current smartphone market, mobile phones that can really buy so-called small screens are really rare. Especially in the Android camp, there are very few mobile phones below the 5-inch screen.

After all, when a full-screen mobile phone is in the limelight today, traditional small-screen mobile phones no longer have any advantages. Therefore, a small-screen mobile phone can basically be a niche product. And if the iPhone SE2 is really released, I think it may not be able to find any other reason that can attract users besides the price advantage.

What do you think about the second-generation iPhone SE that may be released? If it is really released, at the same price point, are people more willing to purchase a full screen mobile phone with a higher screen ratio or an iPhone SE that is willing to purchase a small screen?
