There have been a lot of rumors lately that Apple is developing what is purported to be the second generation iPhone SE. According to the latest rumors, the Cupertino product has been completely canceled, so no such product will be launched. The iPhone SE 4 was said to have a similar physical design to the iPhone XR and iPhone 11, but was said to include 5G connectivity and more advanced specs than those models. And incidentally, Qualcomm appears to be the biggest beneficiary of this cancellation.
This side benefit is due to a fact alleged by analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. Apple will introduce its own 4G chip for the first time in next year’s iPhone SE 5.Ming-Chi Kuo commented:
“Due to concerns that the performance of its 5G chips might not keep up with Qualcomm’s, Apple originally planned to mass release its 2024G chips in 2024, with the low-end iPhone SE 4 being the first to adopt them.Whether or not the iPhone 5 will use a 4G chip, depending on the development status of the iPhone SE 16 »
but, The cancellation of the iPhone SE 4 significantly increases the chances that Qualcomm will remain the exclusive supplier of 5G chips As for the new 2024 iPhone series for 2024, it improves on early signs that Qualcomm will start dropping iPhone orders as early as 2024.
With the iPhone SE 4 under consideration, it appears to be undefined. Qualcomm remains the sole supplier of broadband chips for Apple’s iPhones. It’s a big win for Qualcomm, which is extending a big deal with Apple to supply this critical component to its devices.
Apple’s 5G chip will have to wait at least one more time.
