Apple launched the budget iPhone SE 2 last month and it is currently the most affordable smartphone in the iPhone lineup. Still, the Indian prices are crazy as always, but if you ever wished to get the SE 2 but the pricing seemed insane then you might be lucky. A new report suggests that Apple could lower the affordable iPhone SE 2 pricing even further.

The official Indian pricing of the iPhone SE 2 is โน42,500 but there are some bank offers that lower the pricing making it to be under โน40,000. With the HDFC bank cards, the smartphone comes down to โน39,990. This is great but according to Apple Insider, the smartphoneโs pricing could go down even further globally.
The primary reason for Apple to lower the pricing is Googleโs upcoming smartphone Pixel 4a. The Google Pixel 4a has been tipped to arrive at $349 that is โน26,500. To compete with Googleโs flagship, Apple could lower the pricing and attract potential Android users.
Moreover, Apple has the most cost margin with the iPhone SEs as the outer shell and some hardware parts are the same as the other old models. For example, SE 2 has the same cameras and front design as the iPhone 8 making Apple save a lot.
After the company lowers the pricing of the new SE 2, the company doesnโt have to worry much about the margin as new users in the segment would have already entered to the world of iPhones.ย This will help Apple to create a new customer base who go for OnePlus or other cheaper midrange devices.
Currently, there arenโt any details on what exactly will be the pricing. But considering flagships like iPhone XR go lower in festive sales, we expect the device to be somewhere near the XRโs pricing.
