Expectations and possibilities for the appearance of “iPhone Classic”

apple

The iPhone SE3, which appeared the other day, is almost the same as the SE2, but it has become a hot topic as a new product of Apple. In fact, the SE2 is the best-selling model in the iPhone series, and even while other models are evolving, there are many users who find the home button and Touch ID useful, so I think this trend will continue even if it becomes the SE3. increase. However, there are still people who want a compact iPhone like the original SE, an iPhone with an earphone jack, and even now, several years after its release, it is still used as an active machine with the iPhone 6s without being excluded from the software update target. Some people have it. And I myself am attached to the first SE, and it is difficult to move to the next smartphone.

 

Naming Classic

Macintosh Plus

Macintosh SE

Macintosh Classic

Tracing the history of the iPhone, new models were released in numerical order of 3, 4, 5, but the lineup of the series has increased, and when the iPhone 6 with a larger screen is released, “Plus” will be the higher model. then a model with the subname “SE” will appear on the compact iPhone after the iPhone 5s. This was originally attached to the integrated model of Macintosh, which is Apple’s personal computer, and it has inherited the name to the special model of iPhone as it is, but another “Classic”  There was also a model named. At this stage, the iPhone doesn’t have a model named Classic, so I decided to write this article because of the delusion that it would be a legitimate successor to the original iPhone SE, or that it wouldn’t be the next model of the iPod Touch.

 

Integration with iPod touch

iPod Classic

iPod Touch

The iPod is a music player, and the concept of packing a lot of music on a small hard disk became a hit. Did. Along with that, the previous model was named iPod Classic. I would like to apply this to the iPhone and release a model that has become a legacy function with the evolution of the iPhone under the name of iPhone Classic. With the spread of the iPhone, the iPod Touch has become less noticeable among Apple products, and the release interval of new products is becoming longer, but since the iPod starts from a music player, not only wireless but also earphone jack is essential. However, it may not be as big as the current smartphone, so I think it is close to the original SE. I don’t know when the new model will appear on the iPod, so I thought it would be better to install a sim on the iPod touch and release an integrated model including users who want the first SE.

 

iPhone Classic design and specs

So, “I think of my iPhone” , but to put it simply, the evolution of camera performance to the extent that the latest chip and lens do not stick out in the housing of the first SE, iPhone 7 With the non-contact IC function installed after that, there is nothing to say anymore. If possible, I wondered if it would be as light as an iPod touch and would be the lightest iPhone in history, weighing less than 100g. Since it is a Classic model, it would be great if a model specializing in legacy functions could actually be released to differentiate it from the latest numbering iPhone and the low-priced compact version SE4. It should be technically possible, but it’s subtle whether Apple will do it.

 

The destination of the first SE refugees

 

As of 2022, the first SE is still the target of Apple’s iOS update, and it is often talked about because it is listed in the target model list as an iPhone that can be used for a long time along with the iPhone 6s. There is an opinion that it should be excluded from the target anymore, and as a user I want to continue using it for a long time, but the battery has reached the limit, I think that I am on my way home for various reasons. My first SE still has a battery and it’s okay, but I’m wondering what to do when I decide to switch to the next model. If you want to move, you may want to move on to a completely new model, but I’m not very enthusiastic because the USB-C installed in the latest iPhone and the elimination of the notch have not been realized yet. Perhaps if the original SE is broken and can no longer be used, I feel like buying a used SE and using it.

The iPhone 6s and iPod touch are the last remaining physical home button models , so I feel like a fateful community that both remain and are excluded from the iOS update. I think the next update will be around the fall of this year, so I’d like to keep an eye on what’s going on.
