Apple’s new iPhone SE might be able to take sales from Android in some emerging markets, but it certainly won’t be able to stem the bleeding in many countries, where Google’s platform continues to rob iOS of its market share.

Just days after confirming disappointing smartphone sales, BlackBerry has permanently cut the price of its latest smartphone in a number of markets in an effort to boost interest.

Those purchasing the Priv unlocked and off-contract in the U.S. will now pay $50 less, while those buying the handset in the U.K. and Europe will save £30 and €50 respectively.
