According to Kuo, sales of low-end to mid-end iPhones such as the iPhone SE 3,iPhone 13 mini and iPhone 14 Plus are not as strong as expected, so production of the 4th generation iPhone SE, which is also low-end, will be postponed or canceled. It is said that there is a possibility.

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 (eg, SE 3 , 13 mini, and 14 Plus),
In addition, it is rumored that the 4th generation iPhone SE will be changed to a full-screen design that eliminates the home button like the iPhone XR , and Mr. Kuo said, ``Concern that the design change will lead to an increase in manufacturing costs and selling prices. As a result, Kuo points out that ``Apple needs to reassess its positioning and return on investment as a product for the 4th generation iPhone SE.''

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.
Kuo also said, ``Apple can survive the global recession predicted in 2023 by cutting unnecessary new product development costs like the 4th generation iPhone SE.'' That's what I'm talking about.

Additionally, reducing unnecessary new product development expenses will also help the company navigate the challenges of the global economic recession in 2023.
Mr. Kuo said about Apple in 2023, ``The development of electric vehicles and servers is not as strong as the market expects.Apple's major technology departments are heading in the worst direction.'' I can't be optimistic about the technical sector,' he said.
There seems no reason to be optimistic about all major tech sectors in 2023 as well. My latest survey indicates almost all major tech sectors are heading the worst. Apple is weaker than consensus, and fundamental of electric vehicles & servers are not as solid as market expects. https://t.co/z4CdClDPqb
