There are expectations that Apple's budget model iPhone SE's successor will be released this coming March.
The name is being referred to as iPhone SE2 or iPhone 9, and the price is expected to be $399 (approximately 470,000 KRW) for the 64GB model.
The iPhone SE2 will have a similar appearance to the iPhone 8 but is expected to be released in 4.7-inch or 5.4-inch screen sizes. It will feature the same A13 chipset used in last year's iPhone 11 series, 3GB RAM, and Touch ID functionality. Additionally, a single rear camera will be applied, and the release is anticipated to be at the end of March alongside the new iPad Pro.
Meanwhile, the Naver cafe 'Hotdeal Phone' is actively conducting pre-orders for the iPhone SE2 in line with this.
Hotdeal Phone offers AirPods Pro and iPad 7 as pre-order gifts for the iPhone SE2, and before the official reservation opens, simply applying grants free SMS notification service and a Starbucks Americano gifticon.
Furthermore, Hotdeal Phone has started clearing inventory of previously released 'iPhone series' ahead of the iPhone SE2 launch. For the iPhone 11 series released last year and the predecessor iPhone XS series, instead of price reductions, high-value gifts such as AirPods Pro worth around 300,000 KRW and iPad 7 worth around 500,000 KRW are provided, significantly lowering the price burden.
In addition, the iPhone 8 and iPhone X, known as golden inventory, are being sold in limited quantities at prices in the 100,000 KRW and 200,000 KRW range respectively, and the soon-to-be discontinued iPhone 7 has been lowered to a zero installment principal, attracting much attention.
Hotdeal Phone is an online smartphone group purchase cafe with 280,000 active members, conducting special promotions through the three carriers SKT, KT, and LG Uplus. It is known for its high recognition in the online smartphone market as it is featured across various media such as Naver Blog, Post, Knowledge iN, Facebook, and Instagram.
