iPhone SE Likely to Become More Popular Than Ever

by

Apple is likely to sell over 20 million iPhone SE 4 units this year, making it the most popular iPhone SE model ever, according to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.

iPhone SE 4 Blue Feature 1
In a new post on X, Kuo said that the fourth-generation iPhone SE is expected to see shipments of approximately 12 million in the first half of 2025 and 10 million in the second half of 2025–which is apparently better than previous iPhone SE models.

The new device will reportedly reduce the impact of lower iPhone shipments at this time of year, as well as "accelerate the penetration of models that support Apple Intelligence."

Kuo also noted that the iPhone SE's custom modem may be the source of patent litigation from Qualcomm. The company apparently believes it may be able to obtain part of the patent licensing fees from Apple's custom modem to reduce losses from cancelled component orders.

The new iPhone SE is expected to debut as soon as next week, featuring the A18 chip, a larger 6.1-inch OLED display, Face ID, a USB-C port, ‌Apple Intelligence‌ support, and more.

I think Apple assumes the general public is far more hyped about their “Apple Intelligence” than they really are.

Ya'll think it'll have 120Hz display?
Highly unlikely.

you are wrong, iPhone 15 do support Apple intelligence.
15 Pro does, not basic 15.

$200 android phones have 120hz displays now.
I don't know a single budget phone target customer who knows about 120 Hz, or cares about it.

Franky, most of the target audience are older people (including me) who can't see the difference between 60 Hz and 120 Hz, or parents who want cheap phones for their kids. For them and for the remaining target audience for budget phones, a private, secure ecosystem, a brand name like Apple, after sales support like Apple's, and everything else that only iPhones offer will always counters the lack of 120 Hz.

You should ask yourself. Would you pick an Android phone over an iPhone because it offers 120Hz? Are you aware of the trade-offs?
