we heard rumors of a future iPhone SE 4 shortly after the launch of the current SE 3 model., at the beginning of March last year. This is nothing new, in fact virtually all Apple devices tend to experience the same dynamic. For example, the current current generation in terms of high-end smartphones is the iPhone 14, but we have been getting rumors and leaks about the iPhone 15 and even the iPhone 16 for quite some time now.

As for the iPhone SE 4, we have seen that the unofficial information listed has been consistent with the timewhich seemed to be a development in the SE 3 marketand which we can define in one word: disappointment. And yes, that requires an explanation for which we have to do some history. The first thing is to make it clear that the SE 3 is a good device, as we already told you at its launch, a first impression that was supported by the first reviews, and which was even better when we found out that it is as durable as it gave us Apple.” he said.

Despite being a good device, we already told you at the end of last year that the sales numbers were nowhere near Apple’s aspirations. Because? Colleague Isidro summed it up quite well in that article, and we have to add to that The SE is a cheap or “cheap” device, depending on which metric we’re using. It’s cheap compared to the rest of the iPhones, unquote, but “cheap” compared to the mid-range market. Back when I was giving my opinion on the price of the SE, and shortly before its launch, some analysts were suggesting that it could be priced at €300. In the end, it turned out that its starting price is 529 euros, and it currently costs 561.60 euros. Nonsense.

So, to the surprise of few, The SE 3 does not appear to have been a commercial success. I return to Isidro’s article, which I commented on earlier, to save two sentences that sum it up very well, «The original iPhone SE was not as successful as expected, but when Apple decided to clear the stock by drastically reducing its price, it became one of the best-selling terminals in its range and price range. ” and “It was a very curious case, especially since at the original price of $399, the iPhone SE was a notorious failure, but when it was “resurrected” a few years later at a price of $249, it was received enormously in the market.«. The white and bottled Apple has hit the same rock again and we’ll see what happens when it decides to empty its stock.

Be that as it may, according to what we can read in MacRumors, there is more and more coincidence between them Rumors, Leaks, and Analyst Opinions That Suggest iPhone SE 4 Won’t Come Until At Least 2025which would once again take us to a four-year-per-generation lifecycle compared to the two targeted shortly before the launch of the SE 3. Other voices are pointing to 2026, and there are also those that suggest Apple might abandon that range, something , which makes sense considering their zero interest in products and devices with narrow profit margins.
