In 2024, Apple might resurrect the dead iPhone SE 4 with a 5G chip and a 6.1-inch touchscreen.

Early in January, we first noticed that Apple has dropped its iPhone SE line. We find out that it has been updated from the same source just under two months later. According to analyst Ming-Chi Kuo's rumour from today, the next iPhone SE would be built on the same chassis as the iPhone 14 and have a 6.1-inch OLED display of the same dimension. The first iPhone SE to use OLED in place of LCD would be this one. BOE had the ability to create the panel.

Also, it will be the first iPhone to utilise Apple's own 5G baseband chip, which is said to be manufactured using a 4nm manufacturing process and will only support Sub6 5G, not mmWave. This processor will be put to the test in the next iPhone SE, if there are any problems, they will be discovered in this model rather than any of the more expensive and extremely lucrative ones.

By 2024, it's uncertain if Apple will include 5G technology into the iPhone 16 series. The processor must be able to handle mmWave and satellite connections, which pose the most technical difficulties, for the Pro iPhones. Production of the next iPhone SE should begin in the first half of 2024. The gradual transition away from Qualcomm modems is expected to cause Qualcomm's Apple business to "substantially" diminish over the course of the following two to three years.
