According to a prominent analyst, Apple might be planning to cancel or postpone the following generation of the iPhone SE series, the iPhone SE 4.
While this iPhone was anticipated to launch in early 2024. As of this most delinquent report, this mid-segment device from Apple might cancel or delay for numerous reasons. So let’s start the discussion below.
iPhone SE 4 Mass Production Details
The company established iPhone SE 3 this year, and as usual, we were hoping for the next model in the lineup the company was getting from earlier years.
But now, dedicated Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo issued a series of tweets that illustrate why Apple would postpone or maybe even withdraw the iPhone SE 4.
According to him, its mass production plan was happenning in 2024. But the company is already encountering shipment problems for other products, so they want to modify the plan.
However, the lower shipments subject is primarily comes in the mid-to-low-end iPhones. Such as iPhone SE 3, iPhone 13 Mini, and the recently launched iPhone 14 Plus. That’s why it will be the right decision not to count more low-end iPhones to the list.
And also, this iPhone is hopefully to arrive with many upgrades, but most upgrades are full-screen designs which will affect its selling prices and production cost.
The company may not get the hoped return on investment for the iPhone SE 4. The SE series has already arrived in lower selling iPhone series, and increased pricing may not achieve expected sales.
So Apple may also investigate its projection if it launches in the market. With that, we might only see a delay in its launch.
Besides, if iPhone SE 4 is launched, it will come with many changes from its previous model. And some statements have also noted that its design will ultimately be the same as the iPhone XR.
