That is, the iPhone SE 3 will be relevant for at least three years.
It seems that the iPhone SE 4 really will not be released either this year or next. Barclays analysts believe that Apple decided not to release a new product in 2024, and in 2023 it did not originally plan.
Such a decision, according to analysts, may indicate that Apple’s own 5G modem will not be ready anytime soon. Previously, the analyst of Haitong International Securities called the same reason.
iPhone SE 4 will have to wait a long time?
Even earlier, TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that the production of the modem will start no earlier than 2025, that is, in theory, maybe in 2026.
Recall that the iPhone SE 3 (current generation) was introduced last year, so at the moment it is very fresh. The previous generation was released in 2020, that is, the generation was relevant for two years. In the case of the iPhone SE 3, apparently, it will be relevant for at least three years, if not longer.
However, a very significant update awaits us. It is now believed that the new generation iPhone SE will receive a body from the iPhone 12/13/14, a 6.1-inch AMOLED screen and a Face ID system.
