Cheaper Smartphones – level 1

10-09-2020 07:00

It seems that people use smartphones longer than in the past. It is not good news for companies. Companies want to make money. They must find new ways on how to sell more smartphones.

The best way is to reduce prices. The iPhone 11 is the bestselling smartphone of the first half of 2020. People buy 10.8 million phones more than the iPhone XR. The iPhone XR is the bestselling smartphone in 2019.

How can companies reduce prices of new smartphones? New smartphones have fewer parts. This saves work and materials. Also, the 5G network is hope for companies. People will want new smartphones when 5G starts.

Difficult words: reduce (to make something smaller or less), bestselling (when people buy a lot of something), 5G (a new fast Internet technology).
