Why wasn't the iPhone SE4 released this year?What is the reason behind the delay of the iPhone SE4?

One: Apple's self-developed 5G baseband is progressing slowly

The slow progress of Apple's self-developed 5G baseband has become one of the main reasons for the delay of the iPhone SE4.

5G technology has developed rapidly in recent years and has become a new standard in the mobile phone market. Apple has been working hard to develop its own 5G baseband in recent years, in order to get rid of its dependence on Qualcomm and other leading companies. However, the development of self-developed 5G baseband is more difficult than Apple expected, and compared with 4G baseband, 5G baseband is more complex and requires joint signal testing with different operators around the world, which is a long and cumbersome process. Even with the acquisition of Intel's baseband team, Apple still couldn't complete this difficult task on time, resulting in a certain impact on the launch of the iPhone SE4.

Two: screen panel performance problems

The OLED screen panel used in the iPhone SE4 is provided by BOE, and at a recent seminar for display panel analysts, UBI Research researcher Yoon Dae-Jeong revealed that BOE's OLED panel for the iPhone ** has encountered some performance problems, and Apple's concerns about the quality of the OLED screen have also become one of the factors for the delay of the iPhone SE4 on the market.

Despite the postponement of the release of the iPhone SE4, its potential competitiveness cannot be ignored.

Apple's iPhone SE4 is named D59 and codenamed Ghost, targeting it as a budget-friendly phone.

iPhone SE4 comes with 61-inch screen, with OLED panel full screen design, will use USB-C port. The iPhone SE4 adopts a classic rear single-camera design, with the camera layout on the upper left of the back of the phone, arranged vertically with the flash, harmonious and unique. The body structure design of the small vertical edge right-angle middle frame, coupled with a variety of youthful body colors, makes the whole phone look stylish and full of charm. The iPhone SE4 is powered by TSMC's 4nm chip Apple A16 Bionic mobile platform. This platform is designed with a 6-core CPU architecture, with a 5-core GPU and a 16-core neural network processing unit, making the core performance of the machine very powerful. In addition, a large 3263mAh battery is built-in, while the running memory has also been upgraded to 6GB. What's even more surprising is that it is also equipped with core hardware and technologies such as stereo dual speakers and IP68 waterproof and dustproof, adding more highlights to the comprehensive experience of the machine.

Apple has always been dominated by the high-end market, and the iPhone SE4 series is Apple's attempt in the low-end market, and many bloggers have evaluated it as a "real fragrance" level.
