According to Navkendar Singh, Research Director, IDC India and South Asia, this festive season and next few months in India, "iPhone 11 would still do best, followed by iPhone SE 2020, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Mini, in that order". "The 6.1-inch iPhone 12 is a good size for most Apple fans. It is very handy yet big enough to perform all tasks," Singh told IANS.
