According to the sales habits of the first three generations of iPhone SE, iPhone SE4 may be on the market at the beginning of next year, but perhaps it is the change in sales of the iPhone 14 series that has hit Apple's confidence, or the progress of Apple's self-developed 5G baseband chip, and the iPhone SE4 project plan is also constantly being modified, according to Tianfeng Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo speculated, Apple will mass-produce iPhone SE 4 mobile phones as early as 2025, that is, it will have to wait more than a year.

In 2016, Apple released the first generation of iPhone SE, according to the sales statistics report of that year, the cumulative sales of the first generation iPhone SE reached 30 million units, this small-screen mobile phone priced at 3288 yuan, equipped with a 4-inch retina display and A9 processor, has been praised by many fruit fans, and it is really a double harvest of sales and word of mouth.

Cost performance is an important reason why the original SE can have such sales. As a small-sized mobile phone, the overall performance is not inferior to the iPhone 7 series released in the same year, and the comprehensive other configurations are enough to use, and the price is not high, so it is naturally sought after by consumers.

Subsequently, iPhone SE2 and iPhone SE3 continued the cost-effective route of the first generation SE, but perhaps affected by factors such as the trend of large screens, the sales of each generation of SE gradually declined, and it is an indisputable fact that the iPhone SE series opened high and went low.

Despite the decline in sales, there are still a group of loyal users of the iPhone SE series, who do not care about creative appearance, image, battery life and various black technologies, and the small, lightweight and smooth system are the fundamental reasons why they choose the iPhone SE.

Now the iPhone SE4 is still some time away from the official release, although I don't know which core processor it will carry, but judging from the current revelations, the various configurations are still worth consumers' expectations. However, if the iPhone SE4 really cancels the soul design Touch ID, and uses Face ID and notch screen, the difference with the basic flagship will be weakened, and whether an iPhone SE4 that has lost its own characteristics will be accepted by consumers, Xiao Lei feels that it remains to be discussed.
