It looks like the iPhone SE 4 won’t really come out this year or next. Barclays analysts believe that Apple has decided not to launch the new product in 2024 and was not originally planned for 2023. According to analysts, such a decision may indicate that Apple’s own 5G modem will not be ready in the near future. Earlier, this reason was called by Haitong International Securities analyst.

Earlier, TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that modem production will not start before 2025, so theoretically it could be in 2026.

As a reminder, the iPhone SE 3 (current generation) was introduced last year, so it’s very fresh now. The previous generation was launched in 2020, meaning the generation was valid for two years. In the case of the iPhone SE 3, it will probably be valid for at least three years, if not longer.

However, a very important update awaits us. Currently, it is believed that the next generation iPhone SE will receive a body from the iPhone 12/13/14, an AMOLED display with a diagonal of 6.1 inches and a Face ID system. Source
