Earlier it was speculated that the iPhone SE 4 could be delayed till 2024, but now it appears that it has reportedly been canceled altogether.
Apple iPhone SE 4, which was expected to be released this year, may not be released at all. According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple has informed suppliers that it has canceled plans to release the iPhone SE 4.
This information follows a previous report from the same analyst in December that suggested the iPhone SE 4 could be delayed until 2024, but that now appears to have been canceled entirely.
According to Kuo’s Medium post, Apple’s “supply chain has received instructions from the company” indicating that “production and shipment plans for the 2024 iPhone SE 4 have been cancelled.”
Kuo explains that the reason for the cancellation is primarily “the performance of the in-house baseband chip not being up to par” with Qualcomm’s version.
The cancellation of the iPhone SE 4 could make Qualcomm the exclusive supplier of baseband chips for the new iPhone 16 series in the second half of 2024. This will allow Qualcomm to maintain its dominant position in global high-end mobile phone RF. market in the coming years, it is expected to continue till at least 2023 and 2024.
The cancellation of the iPhone SE 4 and Qualcomm’s continued dominance of the market are both still uncertain at this point and are based on speculation within Apple’s supply chain.
