Apple will now delay the release of its new iPhone SE in 2024, which was previously planned, says a report. The device was anticipated to include an Apple-designed 5G modem, according to Barclays analysts Blayne Curtis and Tom O'Malley in a research note, but the plans look to be postponed, according to MacRumors.
According to reports, Apple began working on its modem at least in 2018. To assist these efforts, Apple bought the entirety of Intel's smartphone modem division in 2019. Although it appears Apple's modem is not yet ready, analysts predict Qualcomm will continue to be Apple's modem supplier for both the iPhone SE and the iPhone 16 series into the next year.
Apple iPhone SE Specifications: (Tipped)
Ming-Chi Kuo, an Apple analyst, said in February that the upcoming iPhone SE would resemble the standard iPhone 14 and feature a 6.1-inch OLED display, Face ID, and flat corners.
Why Will iPhone SE Be Delayed?
Apple's plans for the smartphone could alter in the future, though, as the new iPhone SE appears to have been postponed. The current model seems to be a safe buy for the time being, the report stated, as the new iPhone SE won't be introduced until at least 2025, according to Kuo and multiple other sources.
Meanwhile, a California-based technology giant has filed a patent which hints that it may be introducing a new rollable or scrollable device. According to a patent, there could be iPhones, iPads, TVs or iMacs with rollable or scrollable screens, says a report by Gizmochina.
