The second generation iPhone SE was released four years after the first generation was released, and the third generation was released two years later.

In addition, Mr. Kuo said about Qualcomm, which manufactures 5G modem chips for the iPhone, ``Apple is working on manufacturing its own 5G modem chip, and tested it on the next iPhone SE before installing this chip in the flagship model. I was planning on doing it,' he said. However, since the release of the 4th generation iPhone SE has been canceled, Apple predicts that it is likely to use Qualcomm's 5G modem chip until the iPhone 16 series, which will appear in 2024.

The Verge points out that 'these news are still about a year away, so there's a good chance the plans will change.'
