Another indication emerged today that the next-generation iPhone SE will retain the design of its predecessor, including the 4,7-inch IPS display that debuted in 2014's iPhone 6. Apple.
In a recent post, he rejects earlier claims that the next iPhone SE will have a design similar to the iPhone XR and a 6,1-inch widescreen LCD display with narrow bezels. The analyst claims that the device will have the same 4,7-inch IPS panel as the most affordable Apple smartphone of the current generation, as well as an archaic design with a Home button. The main differences from the current iPhone SE will be the A14 Bionic chipset that debuted in the iPhone 12 and support for 5G cellular networks.
Young suggests that the "overhaul" of the iPhone SE will be done only in 2024. According to him, the iPhone SE 2024 screen will have a diagonal of 5,7 to 6,1 inches, but will still be made using IPS technology. It is assumed that instead of the usual notch, a tiny round cut-out for the front camera will appear on the display of the device.
We now hear the next LCD iPhone will be introduced in 2022 and called the SE Plus with the same 4.7" LCD as the 8 along with 5G. We hear the iPhone SE3 with a 5.7" β 6.1" LCD is now pushed to 2024. https://t.co/9gxiAAk8Yi

Analysts believe iPhone 13 shipments will be lower than expected due to component shortages
At the latest quarterly conference, Apple executives did not hide that a shortage of components in the third quarter could prevent the company from selling the planned number of smartphones. The start of sales of the iPhone 13 family showed that customer waiting times reached record values. A growing number of experts are urging investors to prepare for a reduction in Apple's smartphone supply.
The fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021 has already ended on the company's calendar. And now the first quarter of the next fiscal year has arrived. As Reuters points out, in the last two weeks, two representatives of the analytical community have lowered their forecast for Apple's sales and the number of iPhones shipped. In the current financial quarter, according to JP Morgan, we will see a 4% year-over-year decline.
Last week, analysts at Needham suggested that Apple would be able to ship no more than 80 million new-generation iPhones in the current fiscal quarter. 10 million less than previously planned. Last quarter, Apple earned about $46 billion from the sale of roughly 58 million iPhones, according to JP Morgan. In any case, that's slightly higher than the consensus of other Wall Street analysts, who expect quarterly iPhone revenue of $41 billion.
