You need to have a fairly substantial budget to afford one of the iPhone 16s sold by Apple in September. Consumers on a smaller budget tend to choose to wait for a price drop before purchasing one. If you want more than anything to have a recent smartphone from Apple, it may be wise to wait for the launch of the fourth generation iPhone SE which would be released at the beginning of 2025 according to the most credible sources in the industry. The iPhone SE 3 has just celebrated its 1000th day on the market.
The iPhone SE 3 celebrates its 1000th day just a stone's throw from the release of the iPhone SE 4
The third generation iPhone SE, released on March 8, 2022, has just celebrated its 1000th day on December 3. A symbolic event which deserves a look back at what the device has in its belly. This smartphone from Apple's affordable range features an A15 Bionic processor promising Up to 1.2x better graphics performance than iPhone SE 2.
« The exceptional efficiency of the chip, combined with an improved battery and iOS 18, gives you significantly extended battery life. When you need to recharge, simply place your iPhone SE on a wireless charger. Or connect a 20W or higher adapter to get up to 50% battery in 30 minutes », Apple does not fail to specify. The iPhone SE 3 has a 4.7-inch Retina HD display and supports 5G well.
Of course, it can't hold a candle to the iPhone 15 and 16 in terms of photography with its 12 Mpx main camera. Remember, however, that the iPhone SE is available in (PRODUCT)RED color, ensuring that part of the profits from the sale are donated to the Global Fund to fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria in sub-Saharan Africa.

Remember that the latter should be equipped with a 6.1-inch OLED screen and a single 48 Mpx rear camera. In addition, the iPhone SE 4 would feature a 5G modem designed by Apple.
