Apple is seeing lower-than-expected sales of midrange iPhones, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says. As a result, Cupertino is expected to cancel or at least postpone the iPhone SE 4 until 2024.
The company needs to reevaluate its strategy and pricing because the next-generation iPhone SE will have a full-screen design, which means a higher production cost.
According to the analyst, downsizing and delaying the new phone would help reduce “unnecessary expenditure on new product development” and also help the company overcome “the challenges of the global economic downturn in 2023”.
Early renders hinted that the iPhone SE 4, likely to be called iPhone SE (2024), will be based on the iPhone XR. Generation X was the first to remove Touch ID and leave Face ID as the only biometric authentication method, and now the SE series is expected to join whenever the phone arrives.
Apple usually reveals the iPhone SE in the spring, which means that the phone is at least 15 months away, and we can be sure that the chipset will be the main change from the iPhone XR, which will help the camera take better photos and iOS to run more smoothly.
However, Apple has more than enough time to reconsider its decisions, meaning nothing is final at this point.
