Adam Kos Is it really beneficial for Apple and customers to come up with a new generation iPhone SE? Despite how big a company Apple is and how many iPhone generations it has already released, its portfolio is relatively narrow. Here and there they try to revive it with a cheaper model, but this strategy has significant cracks. After all, wouldn't it be better to bury the SE series and rather change the strategy?
We already know three generations of the "affordable" iPhone SE. The first was based on the iPhone 5S, the second and third on the iPhone 8. Now the iPhone SE 4th generation is a fairly lively topic, although we are probably still more than a year away from its introduction. However, this planned novelty should no longer be based on the archaic design of the iPhone 8, but on the iPhone 14. This raises the question of why you want such a device at all and why not buy just the iPhone 14?

The iPhone SE 4 can't be cheaper than the iPhone 14
If the iPhone SE is supposed to be a cheap device, we are clearly alluding to the fact that the 4th generation iPhone SE cannot be cheap just because it will be based on the iPhone 14. After all, Apple still sells it in its Online Store for a really high 20 CZK . If the price earthquake does not happen, in September 990 it will cost as the iPhone 2024 costs now, namely CZK 13. But if the iPhone SE is based on the 17th generation six months later, how much will Apple charge for it, if it does not purposefully reduce its equipment and only add a new chip? It doesn't make sense, because such a device would actually have to be built above the iPhone 990.

It may seem more reasonable to expand the range of new iPhones with an Ultra model, which would be placed above the Pro models and to consider the older ones as "affordable" models. It would be cheaper for Apple than to develop a new basic device, and the premium one would certainly pay off handsomely. If the iPhone SE is intended for undemanding users, then even in two years, only the iPhone 14 will be enough for them, without anyone running into its limits. It will have enough power, the technology will not be outdated, and the cameras can still be improved with new operating systems.

As more information about the new iPhone SE comes in (now, for example, that it will have same battery, which is in the iPhone 14), the more I get the impression that this is a completely useless product. Then if Apple wanted to change it, they should make it completely different, in design and equipment, and it should receive regular yearly updates to make sense.
Easy iPhone, one 48mpix camera, a generation older chip, cutout and a price of around 15. And long support. The iPhone 14 will soon stop selling and the support will be shorter and shorter...
I think it would be enough to make 2 iPhones. One with the body of the iPhone 8 plus and one with the body of the iPhone X made it more expensive and remove the face id and put hole punch desing there and put face id touch id instead and put it on the power button
This is like a replacement for the mini models.
