A smartphone that cost just $399 and featured a powerful processor and great camera made the iPhone SE a triumphant return to “budget” iPhones in 2020. With an all-screen design that eliminated the home button once and for all, the rumors of the next update were even more exciting.
According to Ming-Chi Kuo, a highly regarded analyst with a stellar track record, Apple is likely to cancel or postpone the iPhone SE 4 mass production plan for 2024. The phone was planned for release in 2024, following the same two-year cycle as the current iPhone SE
A smartphone that cost just $399 and featured a powerful processor and great camera made the iPhone SE a triumphant return to “budget” iPhones in 2020. With an all-screen design that eliminated the home button once and for all, the rumors of the next update were even more exciting.
According to Ming-Chi Kuo, a highly regarded analyst with a stellar track record, Apple is likely to cancel or postpone the iPhone SE 4 mass production plan for 2024. The phone was planned for release in 2024, following the same two-year cycle as the current iPhone SE.
Apple is reportedly moving away from lower-end iPhones, according to a new report. Kevin Kuo, an analyst with a record of accurate Apple predictions, suggests that the decision is coming as a response to lower than expected shipments of iPhone SE copies and others with low-ends specifications–and concerns that the full-screen design of the iPhone SE 4 will lead to increased prices.
We’ve heard for years that Apple’s lower-end iPhones don’t sell as well as its high-priced Pro phones, but it was presumed that iPhone SE was popular enough. However, Kuo’s report suggests that the SE isn’t a big seller despite costing hundreds less than an iPhone 14. Assuming the report is true, it’s likely Apple keeps the current phone around for a bit longer before discontinuing it entirely.
