The next-gen inexpensive iPhone SE 4 might be completely scrapped off if recent information by Ming-Chi Kuo is to be believed. Rumors regarding the cancelation have been making the rounds since December 2022 and now it seems like this might actually be the case. The phone was expected to launch either this year or in 2024. Here’s what this is all about.
Kuo, via a post on Medium, has suggested that quoted the supply chain sources and said that Apple has decided to stop the production and shipment plans of the iPhone SE 4. An earlier report pointed out the possibility of it getting delayed.

Besides this, the reason why Apple might dump the iPhone SE 4 is due to the lesser demand for less expensive iPhones and how the Pro models are all the rage as of now. This is also why Apple is rethinking its iPhone strategy for this year’s iPhone 15 models. Plus, the rumored iPhone XR-like design might also increase the price of the iPhone SE 4, which will end up defeating its purpose.
