At the end of last year the news went around the world about that Apple canceled the development of the iPhone SE 4, which was previously expected for this year, maxideally in 2024. Now the reasons why he did so have come to light, and it must be said that they are both surprising and somewhat worrying. They do not only affect the iPhone SE 4, but iPhones in general.
If you attributed the cancellation of iPhone SE 4 development to the fact that its previous generations simply did not sell well and because of that Apple decided in the SE iPhoneIf you don't continue, you are wrong - so miniThe lackluster sales of the iPhone SE in previous years may have had an impact on the cancellation of the SE 4, but the main reason, according to sources from a very well-informed source, is Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the fact that the Californian giant is still extremely hesitant about developing its own 5G modem. It has been working on it for many years in an attempt to replace Qualcomm's solution, but success has not yet arrived. Last year, it apparently looked like the first version of the 5G modem would Appcould have arisen, asonebut that's how it is nesthello.

And it is precisely this failure that is linked to the rejection of the iPhone SE 4. According to Kuo, this model was supposed to be the first iPhonem, which had a 5G modem from AppBut not because he wanted to be with him. Apple to boast about the new product, but quite surprisingly because he himself was not sure of its quality and therefore wanted to test it first on a product that he would not mind "sacrificing" so much. If then the 5G modem from Applu proved to be trouble-free in terms of both speed and energy consumption, the plan was to deploy it in the main iPhone product line - either the iPhone 15 (Pro) or 16 (Pro). However, the failure of the 5G modem has now made the iPhone SE 4 a useless product, as testing the new computeronentu was his main "mission" and Apple therefore, logically, he does not want to release it.
The situation around the 5G modem from Applu is both surprising and, quite frankly, quite disturbing. It is absolutely unique that you would Apple he was not so sure about some of his solutions that he would prefer to first implement it on a product other than the main one – that is, if we are talking about key projects. After all, according to this logic, for example, a cutout in the display or Dynamic Island it first arrived on the iPhones 8 or 14, and the X and 14 Pro series would stick to the previous design. The Californian giant is obviously fumbling in an extreme way and it is quite possible that the development will be completely abandoned and in the long term it will rely on Qualcomm, which currently supplies it with modems. However, this is also somewhat surprising, since Apple was able to cope almost always, since it is a company with more or less unlimited resources. After the bankruptcy AirHowever, Power is now looking at a second problem in a relatively short period of time that has been a source of concern to the fan world. Applu sends a clear message that something is wrong.
I would send Musk over there, he would have flattened them.
