Despite the popularity of its smartphones in China is at the highest levels, the arrival of the new iPhone SE could somehow put the baton in the wheel at Xiaomi. In fact, despite having a disapay that, for the current canons, is very small, brings with it a very important brand (we will dare to say the most important in the world) that provides it with an equally important importance.
According to the first leaked data from China, Apple would have had over 3 million pre-orders for the iPhone SE. We are not at record levels but surely Xiaomi (and all other Chinese producers) a moment of worry must have it.
At the moment, Xiaomi does not have a real competitor, as business policy does not involve the realization of a 4-inch smartphone, or indeed we can say that Xiaomi's vision goes the other way. Xiaomi Mi Max: Xiaomi benchmark and CPU? |. However, in the same price range as the iPhone SE is the top of the Xiaomi Mi5 range, so in a sense it is well covered.
Similarly, the arrival of the iPhone SE has also affected the suppliers of smartphone manufacturers, with a sort of ripple effect resulting in a drop in the market. Obviously, we must certainly not draw hasty conclusions from this situation, since at the moment we have not talked about official numbers but only about rumors coming from China.
