iPhone SE smartphone series was an attractive proposition for customers who did not want to spend too much money on their phone and wanted to buy one of the Apple devices. So far, three generations of this phone have appeared on the market, and potential specification lists of the fourth generation iPhone SE have appeared in the media. Due to the market situation, the premiere of this phone was to be postponed to 2024, while the latest leaks indicate that Apple will completely resign from continuing the development of this series of phones.
The latest information indicates that Apple has informed its suppliers about the cancellation of the 4th generation iPhone SE project, which was supposed to premiere in 2024. One of the reasons for the project cancellation may be the increased production costs of the smartphone. It was initially assumed that Apple's proprietary 5G modem would be used in this phone for the first time. So far, the company has used modems by Qualcomm, but Apple has been openly saying for some time that it would like to become independent and work on a proprietary unit of this type is underway. The premiere of the new iPhone SE could be a good opportunity to test the first modem from Apple, but due to the cancellation of the project, this situation will not take place, and Qualcomm will still remain the only supplier of 5G modems for iPhones.
