Apple: Will the iPhone SE 4 not appear at all?
According to a well-known leaker, Apple should consider whether the development and manufacturing costs for an iPhone SE 4 are worthwhile. After all, the next entry-level iPhone should get a new, more expensive design including Face ID.

Weak iPhone SE sales

After all, Apple planned to use the design of the iPhone XR with the notch on the upcoming iPhone SE. As a result, a new display including Face ID is necessary, which in turn increases production costs compared to the current model.

There are even four years between the first iPhone SE and the iPhone SE 2, since the first model was launched in 2016.
