Kuo: Apple plans to postpone mass production or cancel the iPhone SE 4, set to launch in 2024, due to lower-than-expected middle- and lower-end iPhone shipments
(1/5) My latest survey indicates that Apple will likely cancel or postpone the mass production plan for the 2024 iPhone SE 4. I think this is due to the consistently lower-than-expected shipments of mid-to-low-end iPhones (e.g., SE 3, 13 mini, and 14 Plus),
(2/5) as well as concerns that the full-screen design of the SE 4 will lead to an increase in higher costs/selling prices. As a result, Apple may need to reconsider the product positioning and return on investment for the SE 4.
Phone writers always write editorials about how the base model iPhone/Galaxy S or mid tier nerfed SE/FE models are the phones to buy but sales worldwide usually show othe wise. People just rather pay more for the best thing if they gonna pay above like $500. https://twitter.com/.…
Same thing for regular consumers. When times are tough, you can easily keep your old laptop or PC for another year or two. Same thing for gamers. Instead of buying a new desktop GPU to play a new game, just turn the graphics settings down. Easy solution during a recession.
