分析师预计2020年iphone售价为399美元

Apple is planning to release a dirt-cheap iPhone next year in a bid to boost its stagnant sales, a well-respected analyst says.

一位颇受尊敬的分析师表示，苹果计划明年推出一款价格极低的iphone，以提振停滞不前的销售。

TF Securities’ Ming-Chi Kuo said in an investor note that Apple will launch a $399 iPhone in the spring. The handset, which he calls the iPhone SE 2 — making it the sequel to 2016’s popular budget iPhone SE — would feature a similar design to the iPhone 8, but with the beefed-up internals of the recently released iPhone 11.

TF Securities的Ming-Chi Kuo在一份投资者报告中说，苹果将在春季推出售价399美元的iPhone。这款手机被他称为iPhone SE 2，是2016年广受欢迎的廉价版iPhone SE的续集。它将采用与iPhone 8相似的设计，但采用了最新发布的iPhone 11强大的内部结构。

Kuo says that the new phones, which he believes will be released in the first quarter of 2020, will be a “key growth driver” for Apple thanks to the massive base of existing customers who are still using the iPhone 6 and 6s models from 2014 and 2015, respectively.

Kuo表示，他相信这两款新手机将于2020年第一季度发布，这将成为苹果的“主要增长动力”，因为大量现有用户仍在使用2014年和2015年的iPhone 6和6s机型。

“iPhone 6 and 6s series are the best-selling iPhone series, and we estimate that around 170 million to 200 million people are still using iPhone 6 and 6s series now,” Kuo said.

“iPhone 6和6s系列是最畅销的iPhone系列，我们估计大约有1.7亿到2亿人仍然在使用iPhone 6和6s系列，”

He noted that iPhone 6 and 6s users might feel more pressure to upgrade because the latest iPhone operating system — iOS 13, which includes new features such as dark mode — is not supported on the older models.

他指出，iPhone 6和6s的用户可能会感到更大的升级压力，因为最新的iPhone操作系统——iOS 13，包括暗模式等新功能——在老版本上不支持。

The phone will include Apple’s new A13 processor, and Kuo believes it will come in space gray, silver and red. He expects it to move 30 million units in 2020.

这款手机将搭载苹果最新的A13处理器，Kuo认为这款手机将有太空灰、银色和红色三种颜色。预计到2020年，该公司将售出3000万台。

Releasing a new, budget iPhone would fit with Apple’s recent strategies.
