Marques Brownlee 👎 criticizes ✓ High confidence
"The mission was actually pretty simple here. Apple was looking to create a new entry-level iPhone at the bottom of the lineup. So, they made a smaller, less premium iPhone basically by taking things out of the base phone. But no, the starting price was $5.99. Just a crazy swing in a miss here."
