This week, it became known that Apple stopped producing obsolete models of the iPhone 6 line. Starting smartphones are now 7 and 8 models. In particular, iPhone 6S Plus, 6S, 6 and SE are no longer available. The earliest smartphones in this line are available from the beginning of 2014, and have been present on the world market for 5 years. Over the years, Apple has managed to sell more than 250 million units, so 6 Series smartphones are still the company's best-selling products.
By 2019, the 6th series devices accounted for 12% of all the company's smartphones, and the gross income brought by these devices reached 30% by the end of the year. It is assumed that the cessation of the release of an outdated line of smartphones is associated with preparations for the launch of a new device in the middle price segment. Foreign IT publications report that such a device has already been created. The diagonal of the display is 5.42 inches. The central processor is A12. The device can recognize faces, and the amount of RAM is 3 GB. Deliveries to the market will begin in 2019, and will amount to about 200 million smartphones.
