Apple May Not Release the iPhone SE 4 Until 2024: Sad News for Apple Lovers

Fans of the iPhone SE may wallow in sadness, as Apple is said to have scrapped plans for the next generation iPhone SE. According to rumours, Apple has scrapped plans for a fourth generation of the popular smartphone. Apple may not release the iPhone SE 4 until 2024. The iPhone SE has always been a popular choice among consumers looking for a low-cost option with cutting-edge features and performance. It is disappointing news for low-cost purchasers, given the previous three generations of the gadget were well-received and successful. Apple has yet to confirm the report.

Has Apple delayed the plan to launch iPhone SE4?

According to respected analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple has delayed and abandoned plans to release an iPhone SE 4 in the market. He previously stated that Apple was undecided regarding the iPhone SE 4. However, Kuo has now displayed in a lengthy Medium article that Apple has told its supply chain partners that the iPhone SE 2024, which was planned to be released in 2024, has been cancelled.

What is Apple's plan for the forthcoming year, 2024?

"Because of concerns that the performance of the in-house baseband chip would fall short of Qualcomm's, Apple initially planned to unveil its baseband chip in 2024 and allow the low-end iPhone SE 4 adopt it first before deciding whether to let the iPhone 16 use it based on the iPhone SE 4's development progress." Kuo wrote in his blog. He also stated that the cancellation of the iPhone SE 4 has considerably enhanced Qualcomm's prospects of retaining the only supplier of baseband processors for the next iPhone 16 series in 2024.

Will Qualcomm be affected by iPhone SE 4 smartphone cancellation?

According to Kuo, Qualcomm will continue to dominate the high-end mobile phone market worldwide in 2023 and 2024. It's sad to see the iPhone SE 4 go, mainly because it was rumoured to include a notched design for the first time. That would have filled the hole created by canceling the iPhone XR. Apple does not produce new SE models as frequently as ordinary iPhone models. The third-generation iPhone SE debuted two years after the second and four years after the first, and it needs to be clarified when - if ever - the next model will be introduced.
