Apple Event 2022: New Low-End iPhone Expected to Have 5G Service

Apple Event 2022: New Low-End iPhone Expected to Have 5G Service

Apple Inc.


AAPL -0.38%

is bringing 5G cellular connectivity to cheaper iPhones, a move some on Wall Street say will continue to fuel record sales this year as concerns linger over demand for the more-expensive versions.

The Cupertino, Calif., tech giant is slated to reveal the third-generation iPhone SE on Tuesday during a virtual event on the company’s website, starting at 1 p.m. ET. Apple is also expected to unveil an updated iPad Air with a faster processor as well as 5G, and new computers with faster chips, according to a person familiar with the plans.

The iPhone SE was an early pandemic darling for Apple. Sales of the device approached 25 million, or 12% of the company’s estimated global smartphone shipments, in 2020, according to researcher IDC. Apple doesn’t break out results by iPhone model.

The low-end model, which starts at $399 and comes with the smallest display size of 4.7 inches, fared less well in the past year with the arrival of Apple’s flagship products. Those include the iPhone 12 lineup, which introduced ultrafast 5G to the company’s smartphone offerings for the first time and was given a boost with price breaks from carriers eager to get customers onto the new cellular networks.

Sales of the high-end devices helped propel iPhone sales to a record $192 billion in fiscal 2021 and contributed to the year’s record profit of almost $100 billion. At the same time, shipments of the iPhone SE that lacked 5G fell an estimated 40% in 2021 compared with 2020, according to IDC.

“Obviously, some of the phones that Apple has launched have been really expensive, for the mostly mid- to high-end consumer, so now you get an affordable phone with 5G,”

Samik Chatterjee,

an analyst for

J.P. Morgan,

said in an interview.

Mr. Chatterjee raised his earnings estimates for the fiscal year because of expectations for the iPhone lineup, including his faith in the potential of the SE model to appeal to price-conscious buyers looking for 5G. He is forecasting that the SE version could tally 30 million units sold in the first year and help boost overall iPhone shipments to a record of 250 million.

“That’s what will give investors confidence that Apple can continue to grow iPhone revenues,” he said.

Starting in February, U.S. cellular carriers will begin to shut down 3G. WSJ’s Joanna Stern got an old iPhone 3G and iPhone 4 working on the old network, in order to remember all it did to shape the smartphone revolution. Photo illustration: Preston Jessee for The Wall Street Journal

The iPhone 12—and the iterative iPhone 13 versions introduced last fall—helped fuel renewed interest among Chinese consumers. The iPhone’s strength was aided by the collapse of Huawei Technologies Co.’s smartphone business amid sanctions by the U.S. government. The sanctions stripped Huawei of the ability to use

Alphabet Inc.’s


GOOG 0.23%

Android operating system. In the final three months of last year, the iPhone retook the top spot as the bestselling smartphone in China. Mr. Chatterjee said the SE model could benefit from the China dynamics and the country’s interest in 5G phones.

Other analysts seem to be warming to Apple’s potential this year as well. As recently as late last year, the average estimate of analysts surveyed by FactSet predicted flat iPhone sales for the current fiscal year, which ends in September, amid worries that the appeal of the iPhone might have peaked during the year after the big upgrade with 5G technology.

In recent weeks, optimism about the company’s outlook has been growing, aided by stronger-than-expected results for the final three months of last year. Analysts now expect iPhone revenue to rise 5% this fiscal year—after soaring 39% in fiscal 2021.

When the first SE model made its debut in 2016, some analysts said the device could help Apple in markets outside of the U.S. where the iPhone—which can cost more than $1,500—is priced out of reach. Instead, the top three markets for the cheaper device last year were the U.S., Japan and Western Europe, according to IDC.

“‘Some of the phones that Apple has launched have been really expensive, for the mostly mid- to high-end consumer, so now you get an affordable phone with 5G.’”


— Samik Chatterjee, J.P. Morgan analyst

In China, the SE made up less than 10% of shipments, according to Chiew Le Xuan, an analyst at research firm Canalys. He said the phone struggled against budget-oriented Android rivals and expressed skepticism that the new version would do well in China.

“The iPhone SE third generation may seem like a hit in China due to Apple’s increasing market share and 5G penetration,” he said in an email. “However, according to Canalys data, Chinese consumers are inclined towards phones with a larger display.”

In the U.S., the SE has been a gateway to the Apple brand for owners of less-expensive Android phones. Last year, 26% of SE buyers previously had an Android phone, according to Consumer Intelligence Research Partners’ surveys of consumers. “IPhone SE has become a sort of entry-level iPhone, mostly because of its price point,” said

Michael Levin,

Consumer Intelligence Research co-founder.

Apple again might benefit from carriers eager to push its latest phones on customers, according to

Cliff Maldonado,

principal analyst for BayStreet Research, which tracks marketing efforts by the wireless-service providers.

The carriers are eager to move customers from 4G to the new faster networks because it is cheaper for them to deliver the same amount of data. Mr. Maldonado forecasts that carriers will reach about 95% of 5G subscribers in mid-2024. 5G has been aimed at improving connections for games and videos.

“The carriers will be happy to push the SE3 over the previous SE2 at roughly the same $400 price point because the SE3 will allow the carrier to support the phone less expensively on 5G than 4G LTE,” he said.

Public Service Announcement: Keep It Clear event in effect in Lincoln starting Thursday, February 24

Public Service Announcement: Keep It Clear event in effect in Lincoln starting Thursday, February 24

 

Lincoln, ON – (February 24, 2022) – The Town of Lincoln is declaring a Keep It Clear event beginning at 5 p.m. on Thursday, February 24, 2022, in anticipation of a winter event that is forecasted to bring up to 15 cm of snow to the area.

Forecasted Conditions

Environment Canada is forecasting heavy snow at times with snowfall accumulations of 10 to 15 cm. Snowfall rates may approach 3 cm per hour at times due to lake enhancement from Lake Ontario. Local blowing snow can also be expected.

This forecast is based on the most recent Environment Canada weather alert.

Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become icy and slippery.

Keep It Clear

A temporary on-street parking prohibition will be in effect starting 5 p.m. on February 24. 

Local weather and road conditions will determine how long a Keep it Clear ban will be in effect. Typically, Keep It Clear Events are in effect for 72 hours – however, due to the expected duration of this winter event and the mixed precipitation expected, the Keep It Clear event may need to extend beyond 72 hours and the Town may need to declare a Significant Winter Event to properly address the winter event.

We will be monitoring the situation as it unfolds and will continue to provide updates through our website and social media accounts, and will announce when the ban is no longer in effect.

Please Do Your Part

Residents are asked to do their part and ensure roads are kept clear so that crews can respond to the winter event. Anyone with fire hydrants on their properties are asked to shovel around them to keep them clear and visible.

Residents and business vehicle owners who do not remove their vehicles from the road during a declared Keep it Clear Ban will be subject to a $75.00 ticket; habitual offenders may also be subject to towing.

In November 2021, the parking by-law was amended to make the Keep it Clear program no longer voluntary. A parking ban is based on an assessment of forecasted weather and local observations including temperature, wind, and road conditions.

Winter Response

Please be patient as Town crews respond to this winter event. Crews will address all Town roads as soon as possible in a priority sequence, beginning with primary roads and progressing to secondary roads. Main sidewalks (class 1, 2 and 3) will also be maintained in a priority sequence.

Crews will very likely make several passes on most streets in order to address the prolonged snow event. Please expect to have to clear the end of the driveway multiple times. This is what plows need to do to clear Lincoln streets and allow traffic to move safely throughout the community.

Stay Safe and Respectful

Residents are advised to avoid travel if possible; please travel with caution if you must.  

Please be kind to one another and to crews who are doing their best to address every winter event this season and keep Lincoln roads safe for everyone. Staff are here to help and answer questions in a respectful manner.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

Road Snow Clearing Related Questions

I just cleared my driveway, and the plow went by and filled it back in with heavy snow. Will you come back and clear it out?

  • Crews cannot come back to your driveway to clear it out as they are working to clear the entire Town. What happens, is the “wing” blade on the plow will push the snow into open areas when the plows pass. Unfortunately, if you have cleared your driveway, this has created the perfect open space for this.
  • Some tips for preventing this from happening in the future would be to wait to clear the snow at the end of your driveway until you know the plow has come by. We also recommend that you clear the snow to the right as you go down the driveway so that it is not pushed back in during future passes.

Does the Town use salt on the road?

  • The Town primarily uses a blend of sand and salt on our roads.
  • The Town is also piloting a brine solution for anti-icing on several primary roads in Town.

Why doesn’t the plow do a better job clearing the snow from my cul-de-sac?

  • It is challenging for a large snowplow truck operator to maneuver in a cul-de-sac to clear all of the snow from around its centre island area.
  • The Town first clears a path around the cul-de-sac with a snowplow to allow access to residents and EMS/Fire services. Later, as part of our clean-up operations, the Town comes back with equipment (backhoes & loaders) to complete a total clearing of the cul-de-sac area, typically piling the excess snow in the middle for storage purposes.
  • After a significant amount of snow accumulates within these areas, a front-end loader or backhoe loader and dump trucks remove the excess snow. This is scheduled based on necessity.

Why does it take so long to get to my cul-de-sac?

  • Cul-de-sacs are initially plowed as part of the Town’s secondary road operations, and then the Town returns later to complete a full clean-up of the cul-de-sac area.

When is the plow getting to my street?

  • The Town of Lincoln’s road network is vast geographically, making it challenging for winter operations. For example, weather conditions below the escarpment can differ considerably from those above the escarpment.
  • During an active snow event, it can take many hours to attend to all of the roads in Lincoln, so we ask for your patience and understanding – especially with high winds and accumulation.
  • Please know that we are out there, maintaining the roads as best as we can.
  • The Town crews start to plow primary roads first. Once these roads have been plowed, the drivers will move to secondary roads.

The snowplow driver hit and knocked over my mailbox. What should I do?

  • We are sorry to hear this has happened, and apologize for the inconvenience. Please know that we will replace your mailbox. If this happens, please notify the Town of Lincoln immediately. A temporary mailbox will be provided if staff cannot replace it right away – for instance, during a snowstorm, or if a completely new post needs to be installed. A permanent replacement will be scheduled in early spring.
  • Please note: unfortunately, the Town does not replace custom mailboxes with the same but will replace the damaged one with a new metal rural-type mailbox.

We had a massive storm, and there is still snow on the roads. Why are there no trucks out?

  • When a large storm hits, we have all trucks and licensed/trained drivers out on routes clearing snow. After a certain amount of hours, we need to send the crews home to get some much-needed and well-deserved sleep. The crews will be back out early the following morning to continue clearing the roads.
  • The snow is melting, and there are large puddles of water on the road. When is the Town going to deal with this?
  • If large puddles form from the snow melting, the catch basin may be blocked. We will do our best to come around and clean blocked catch basins, but we always appreciate a helping hand when residents assist with clearing debris from the catch basins.

 

Sidewalk Snow Clearing Related Questions

Does the Town use salt on all sidewalks and trails?

  • The Town uses salt on our sidewalks and sand on the multi-use trails.

Why do you clear some sidewalks but leave the area in front of my house?

  • The Town clears sidewalks in front of particular residences as part of the Senior Sidewalk Snow clearing program. Residents must be over the age of 65 to qualify for this program.
  • As a pilot program, the Town is clearing additional sidewalks along walking routes for schools and near business areas and some areas of sidewalks that are curb faced (i.e. no grassed boulevard), sidewalks adjacent to Regional Roads and Town properties and hard-surfaced trails.
  • On October 25, 2021, Council voted to expand the program to include all municipal-owned sidewalks and hard surface trails starting November 2022, for the 2022-2023 winter season.

The plow went by and filled in a crosswalk. How do I get the Town to come back to clear?

  • Town staff patrol sidewalks, trails, main crosswalks and pedestrian crossing locations that we clear. When the crews have finished their initial crosswalk and pedestrian crossing areas, they will return to areas we are aware of needing clearing. If this area is on our routes, we will come back and clear the area.

 

Parking By-Law Related Questions

Why was the Parking by-law amended?

  1. The goal of the by-law amendment related to snow clearing is to help ensure the roads within the Town are cleared safely and promptly. This is done by making all attempts to remove vehicles from the roadways.
  2. Although this provision is intended to be enforced, we recognize that this will change the way homeowners plan their days or nights when a pending snowfall event is expected. The Town would like to work cooperatively with residents in adapting to this change.
  3. Municipal Law Enforcement, along with Public Works, hopes to make every effort to allow homeowners to correct (within reason) parking infractions related to impeding snow clearing during this first winter season. However, enforcement will occur with continual or habitually offending vehicles.

Where am I supposed to park my car if it does not fit in the driveway?

  • It is understood and acknowledged that there are situations where homeowners have more vehicles than they can accommodate with the parking space available on their property. The Town reviews opportunities for enhanced parking provision through projects such as the visioning and master planning exercises for main corridors such as Ontario Street in Beamsville and the Victoria and King corridors in Vineland. However, each property has allocated vehicle parking (where possible) on a driveway, garage or laneway by the zoning By-law.
  • We suggest speaking with a neighbour and determining if you can use space in their driveway during a heavy snowfall; if you have a garage, consider clearing it out to use it. We recognize that this isn’t always convenient, but we ask everyone to pay it forward and not park vehicles on the road. Any vehicles over what was allocated by the zoning By-law is then the responsibility of the individual vehicle/ homeowner to locate and utilize permissible parking.

How do I know when I can park on the road?

  • Notification of a pending snowfall event, as has been the practice for the previous years, will be provided on Town of Lincoln website and Town social media accounts on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Additionally, local news and weather stations and news outlets provide regular updates on weather conditions for all members of various communities.
  • Generally, if the forecast indicates an accumulation of 7-10 cm or more, it is likely that the Town will announce that a “Keep it Clear” is in effect, and parking will not be allowed on any Town Roads.

How long will this be in effect and can I not park on the street?

  • The parking provision related to snow clearing is in effect when a Keep it Clear event is predicted via weather conditions and remains in effect for 72 hours, or when the Town announces that the event is over.

Does this apply to all streets?

  • Yes, the parking provision applies to all municipal streets with the Town.

How can I challenge a ticket?

  • The process to challenge an issued parking offence notice can be reviewed either on the rear portion of the offence notice or by visiting the Town of Lincoln website under municipal law enforcement/ parking ticket payment.

What happens if I leave my car on the road/what is the fine?

  • The set fine for this provision, per offence, is $75.00. Additionally, habitual or continued breaches in the provision may result in a vehicle being removed at the owner’s expense. The Town hopes to continue to work with all community members to engage and educate regarding this provision in order to avoid the tow authorities being utilized.

Public Service Announcement: Town of Lincoln ends Keep It Clear Event on February 18

Public Service Announcement: Town of Lincoln ends Keep It Clear Event on February 18

 

The Town of Lincoln is declaring the current Keep it Clear event ended as of 4 p.m. on Friday, February 18, 2022.

Keep It Clear was declared on February 17 in response to a system that forecasted mixed precipitation including snow accumulations of 10 to 20 cm, icy and slippery conditions and local blowing snow.

While on-street parking is once again permitted, we ask everyone to be considerate when parking on Town streets and allow enough space for cars to pass through. Please be mindful of snowbanks and narrow sections on many secondary roads.

Children are reminded to not play on roads or on snowbanks close to roads, and to not build snow forts or tunnels close to roads, as drivers are unable to see them.

We all have a responsibility to help keep our roads safe for residents and travelers.
