The C and SE models are lower cost, smaller handsets without the same features as their bigger brothers. It seems this was an attempt by Apple to get a bit of the market just below the flagships.

I believe it's more a price and market saturation issue.
apple should reduce their phone price in order to get high sales like before. The price should be lower a little bit/ higher a bit than a high end android phone (from successful android manufactures). These will grab back the attention and users will get lot of choices of two different huge operating system. If they too much ignorant make iphone 7 much pricey (overpriced) than high end android this year, well apple will see the doom of their mobile phone arena.

iPhone is more than a phone, it comes with an excellent service models and an entire ecosystem. Most people realize this.
The trick is to keep adding innovative services on top to keep things interesting, and that's where all manufacturers are starting to struggle. Xiaomi and Meizu simply copy Apples strategy, but if we compare standards of living in China, their high end phones are just as expensive to the Chinese as an iPhone is to an Australian, as an example.
With a minimum wage of RMB2500/month, and an average income of say RMB8000/month, a RMB3000 phone ain't cheap.
To the rich with RMB30000+/month , it doesn't matter whether it's an iPhone or a high-end Android, and let's face it, that's who Apple and Samsung are really after.

Expected yearly sales in worst scenatio for Apple 160 million
Expected yearly sales in best scenatio for S7 60 million
What goes up Must come down!
harlekkin, 05 Apr 2016And what are you, a market analyst?
Leave that to the big boys.Buy loads of them to resurrect their sales dear!
good luck apple, die hards only can save you from becoming a dieing co.
Apple, you deserved it!
Unfortunately for the folks at Apple, down trend will worsen in the following months. That's because, as still have not understood that, have to think globally, not locally, from U.S.A. Oddly enough for an American company, huh Apple fans?..:))
And want to notice and his fans Samsung, as the problem it is also this company. Until now this has masked, but it cannot last forever. The TRUTH will come to light, in soon. Oddly enough for an Korean company, huh Samsung fans?..:))
