Is iPhone SE3 going to be a blockbuster? Apple may cancel the mass production plan of iPhone SE4 in 2024

The iPhone 14 series has been released for several months, and everyone has turned their attention to the next generation of iPhone 15 series. At present, many related news about iPhone 15 has been revealed on the Internet. At the same time, news about the mid-range series of iPhone SE4 has also been reported frequently. Recently, someone on the Internet said that the mass production plan for the iPhone SE4 in 2024 might be canceled to meet the challenge of global recession.

According to Guo Mingxuan, Apple may cancel its plan to mass produce iPhone SE4 next year, because the shipments of low and medium priced iPhone phones continue to decline. For example, the sales of iPhone SE3, iPhone 13 mini and iPhone 14 Plus were lower than expected. In addition, the iPhone SE4 may become a full screen design, which will definitely lead to higher costs. In addition, unnecessary new product development costs will also help Apple cope with the challenges of the global economic recession in 2023. Therefore, he believes that the iPhone SE4 will not be mass produced next year.

In fact, it is really difficult for Apple to position the product line of the iPhone SE series. Previously, the iPhone SE with a non full screen could occupy the market at a price of about 4000 yuan, allowing people to buy iPhone phones at a lower price. But now the global smartphone industry is in recession. The price of iPhone 13 and even iPhone 14 is falling. The lowest price may be the same as that of the iPhone SE series. Under such a big premise, who will buy the iPhone SE series models? Is iPhone 14 not popular directly? In addition, Guo Mingxuan clearly stated that the cost would definitely rise after the full screen was replaced. It is estimated that the cost of 3500 yuan would not come down. This is the conflict of the orthodox iPhone.

Because the increase of raw material prices has been fully planned, the price of iPhone SE4 is bound to rise, and it is very likely to enter the ranks of 4000 yuan. This is unacceptable to most users and will affect the low sales volume. Therefore, it is understandable that Apple officially cancelled or delayed the mass production plan of iPhone SE4.
