Apple cancels launch of all-new iPhone SE: Here's what happened

Delhi : The release of the iPhone SE 4 in 2024 has supposedly been scrapped by Apple. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims that the Cupertino-based business is advising its suppliers of the same. With the fourth-generation iPhone SE, Apple intended to release its first internal 5G processor. But that is no longer anticipated because Apple appears to have abandoned the smartphone.

Kuo asserts that in 2024, Apple will still use Qualcomm 5G semiconductors in its phones, including the iPhone 16 series.

Apple originally intended to launch its baseband chip in 2024 and let the entry-level iPhone SE 4 adopt it first, and decide whether to let the iPhone 16 use its baseband chip depending on the development status of the iPhone SE 4, due to concerns that the performance of the in-house baseband chip may not be up to par with Qualcomm's "He posts a message.

Although the market consensus was that Qualcomm would start to lose iPhone orders in 2024, the cancellation of the iPhone SE 4 has significantly increased the likelihood that Qualcomm will continue to be the sole supplier of baseband chips for the new iPhone 16 series in the second half of 24 "He adds.

Kuo predicted in December of last year that Apple would decide to delay or cancel the release of the iPhone SE 4. Then he speculated that it might be because shipments of midrange to entry-level iPhones, such as the iPhone SE 3, iPhone 13 mini, and the recently released iPhone 14 Plus, were less than anticipated. "According to my most recent study, Apple is likely to delay or abandon its intention to mass produce the iPhone SE 4 in 2024. I believe this is because shipments of mid-to-low-end iPhones (such the SE 3, 13 mini, and 14 Plus) have continuously been lower than predicted, Kuo said in a tweet at the time.

In March 2022, Apple introduced the iPhone SE of the third generation. It has a Qualcomm Snapdragon X57 5G modem installed. The smartphone sports an A15 Bionic CPU and a 4.7-inch LCD screen.
