It’s been a while since we had a new affordable iPhone
Time is an interesting concept: humans have been on Earth for some six million years, yet the planet is 4.5 billion years old. We’re not far away from it being 20 years since the first iPhone launched yet, the first telephone was invented 148 years ago. So the length of time is relative. But one thing is for sure, it feels like it’s been a long time since we had a new iPhone SE.
There have been three generations of Apple’s most affordable iPhone. The first arrived in 2016 to win attention as one of the best cheap phones at the time. Four years passed before the year of the COVID-19 pandemic came calling, with a second-generation SE also popping up. Then 2022 saw the current iPhone SE.
As such, there’s no real established cadence to iPhone SE releases. Yet with the current version sporting a design that would have felt outdated some six years ago, let alone two, I think the cheap-ish Apple phone is overdue for an update and an overhaul.
