Apple iPhone SE 4 Launch: What Really Happened

Was the Apple iPhone SE 4 launch really delayed? While Apple does not reveal the exact date and time of the launch of smaller products like the iPhone SE series, one important aspect has thrown a spanner in the works and indicates that the company may have delayed iPhone SE 4 launch.

Notably, Bloomberg columnist Mark Gurman is known for getting his prophecies about most things Apple quite right. The same has been happening for years.

Last week, he took to X and posted that the iPhone SE 4 is likely to launch next week (which is this week). The fandom lapped up his words as the wait for this new iPhone stretches back to 2022 when the last SE series smartphone was launched.

And then, a number of reports indicated that the launch will happen on Feb 11. However, the launch failed to materialise. It was a false alert.

The failure to launch forced Gurman to take to X again today and he indicated that the launch will happen next week! The language that he used this time too indicated confidence in his knowledge about the matter.

However, neither he, nor Apple have shed light on what transpired and why the iPhone SE 4 launch was shifted from this week to the next one.

In his X post today, Mark Gurman hurried to indicate that the launch was not scrapped. He said, "New iPhone SE is still imminent and should be announced by next week, when the company is holding product briefings."

He also added some more food for thought for the fandom to keep them hooked by revealing that Apple will make an announcement. He posted, "Tomorrow there’s a smaller announcement. For Friday, Apple Vision Pro reps are reaching out to press about an announcement to come. M4 MacBook Air within weeks."
