Apple could always deliver us a spring surprise, but at this point in time, you'd have to figure that 2024 is going to come and go without the iPhone SE 4 joining the best iPhones lineup. You'd also be excused for wondering if Apple's going to wind up regretting that move.
On the surface, it probably will not. Apple's been releasing smartphones steadily since 2007, and only three of those years involved an iPhone SE release. For its 2023 fiscal year, Apple sold more than $200 billion worth of iPhones, all without release a new SE model during the year. The company's doing OK for itself.
