Apple might launch a low-cost iPhone SE successor in spring 2020
The purported 4.7-inch iPhone would be a response to Apple's sales decline, according to Nikkei.
Apple might revive the iPhone SE next spring.
Apple will unveil its iPhone 11 lineup for 2019 next Tuesday, but we might already have a glimpse at what it expects to do in 2020. The Cupertino, California, company plans to add a cheaper iPhone -- its first since 2016's $399 iPhone SE -- to its lineup next spring to win customers back from competitors like Huawei, Nikkei reported Wednesday.
In July, Apple reported that iPhone sales slid 12% to $26 billion in its fiscal third quarter.
The name and price have yet to be decided yet, but the size will be comparable to the 4.7-inch iPhone 8 from 2017. The phone will share most components with this year's iPhones and use a cheaper LCD display to keep the cost low, according to the Japanese paper.
Apple didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
