Record Sales Anticipated for iPhone SE 4 in 2025
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo forecasts that Apple is expected to achieve sales exceeding 20 million units of the iPhone SE 4 this year, setting a new benchmark for the iPhone SE lineup.
Projected Shipments and Performance
Kuo highlighted that the fourth-generation iPhone SE is on track to ship approximately 12 million units in the first half of 2025, with another estimated shipment of around 10 million in the latter half. These figures indicate a strong performance relative to previous iterations of the iPhone SE.
The introduction of this model aims to mitigate declines seen in other iPhones during this period while also enhancing access to devices integrated with Apple Intelligence technology.
Patent Disputes Linked to Qualcomm
Kuo also raised concerns about potential patent disputes with Qualcomm regarding Apple’s custom modem. Qualcomm is reportedly attempting to acquire part of Apple’s licensing fees linked to its modem technology as a way to offset losses from canceled orders for components.
Upcoming Features and Innovations
The eagerly awaited iPhone SE is set for an early debut next week, boasting an advanced A18 chip and enhanced features such as a larger OLED screen measuring six inches diagonally, Face ID capability, a USB-C connection port, full support for Apple Intelligence functionalities, and various other advancements meant to elevate user experience.
