Apple and iPhone's marketing strategy has been following the same pattern for several years: the latest models are more expensive, while previous generation models always have more affordable options. Otherwise, storage areas with larger screens are also the ones that end up being the most expensive. The same can be said for the iPad, though it's flexible depending on the storage you want.
As far as I know and the people I'm talking to, that has become an obstacle for some to make the jump from Android to iPhone. Even relatives have denied that if they want a cell phone, they want it too big screen but without needing to be the most powerful storage space on the market. And now, if you want a 6.5-inch screen for the iPhone Pro Max you need to shell out at least 1,259 euros in Spain or 27,499 pesos in Mexico. But to see the latest rumors … what if Apple were considering changing that strategy?
The fact that the big screen is not an excuse for excessive borrowing
As soon as we started this year we saw how they commented on it from DigiTimes: it was speculated that Apple would introduce not just one but two "iPhone 9" models. The second model will cost equally, but have a larger screen. Type "iPhone 9 Plus" or the "iPhone SE 2 Plus", which may mimic Plus's iPhone 6, 6s, 7 and 8. Plus models for a bigger screen for those who don't want to spend a fortune on the iPhone.
For a moment we also talked about the big Macbook (even in 2011 it was mentioned again something like this), though the disappearance of the 12-inch model eventually denied it all. If you want a big screen on an Apple computer, you should go for an expensive 16-inch MacBook. In the meantime, the prices of the Windows market manuals are flexible.
And no, I'm not forgetting about the recent purchase of big screen iPhones like the iPhone XR, they are cheap. Panel type, LCD or OLED, comes in the figure here. But depending on the size, depending on what we see in the coming weeks, Apple may be trying to change the plan. And it will be interesting to see how the community reacts to such different types of phones, as it could explain the future strategy of the iPhone.
We can see the same shown on other devices, perhaps? ¿The big screen is a Mac but without the most advanced features like current models, for those who need a large workspace but not much energy? It's something that can be resolved with an external display, but not everyone wants two monitors on their desk.
We probably saw the news last week
Another question to ask is when? Well at any time, when Apple decides to launch that iPhone 9 and when rumors of a model with a bigger screen come true. In fact we were going to report something important last Thursday
Big Apple news that doesn't… I'm just not sure what they are.

But there seemed to be a change in the meeting, and Benjamin eventually corrected:
Yes, I thought I had this in the bag but apparently I was wrong. Sorry guys: /

Subsequently, youtuber Jon Prosser revealed that no final decision had been made at the alleged meeting and that the launch of the iPhone (s) is still being considered in April:
Update on the iPhone 9 meeting from yesterday:
They left the meeting without a final decision.
They are still considering the April issue. I'm told they want to decide next week, though if they do, it will be mid-April.
Update next week, I think.
Sorry, guys 😞 https://t.co/Tc9hOrtb88– Jon Prosser (@jon_prosser) March 27, 2020
In short, it looks like Apple is ready to introduce something. But because of the COVID-19 virus epidemic, that introduction may be significantly reduced by the closing of stores. We can only pay attention to any news that may come to us next week about it.
