Apple's gotten into the $399 (MSRP) market with the (unlocked) iPhone SE (2) since 2020. I guess that's one way to try to avoid seeing households migrating away from the Apple ecosystem in a world with plenty of Android phones in the $150-$250 range that pack in enough to satisfy most consumers on a stand-alone basis.
