This year Apple may sell more than 20 million copies of the iPhone 16th, which would be the greatest success ever for an iPhone SE.
The iPhone 16th (SE 4) will be a success
The prediction that Apple will sell more than 20 million copies of the iPhone 16th (iPhone SE 2025) this year and will be a success with it comes from Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. In a new Message on X Kuo says that the iPhone 16th in the first half of 2025 is expected to be shipped around 12 million times and in the second half of 2025 10 million times. That is a lot better than the previous iPhone SE models.
The new device thus reduces the impact of the lower iPhone sales at this time of the year. It also ensures that iPhone models that support Apple Intelligence are distributed faster. The iPhone 16th probably has a modem that Apple made itself for the first time. According to rumors, that modem is a bit slower than a modem from, for example, Qualcomm, although there is little noticeable in practice. The use of this modem means fewer costs for Apple, which in turn ensures a lower price and more chance of success for the iPhone 16th.
Lots of iPhone for little money
The iPhone 16th is a success because the iPhone offers almost everything that the average user wants and for a considerably lower price than other recent iPhones. We expect an A18 chip with 8 GB of memory, which is more than sufficient for everyday tasks and also supports Apple Intelligence. Moreover, the new SE is equipped with Magsafe for the first time.
In addition, you get the same camera as the iPhone 16, namely a 48-megapixel main camera with a ‘fusion’ lens. That means that you can take standard photos and 2x Zoom photos. Furthermore, the iPhone 16th also gets the action button, which Apple introduced for the first time on the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Limited number of concessions
What you miss on the iPhone 16th is the ultrawide lens that the iPhone 16 has. And the Dynamic Island is also missing at the top of the screen. The new SE has an ‘old -fashioned’ notch. Furthermore, you don’t have to expect a camera control on the new iPhone SE, as well as an always-on screen. But this does not have to stand in the way of the success of the iPhone SE.
They are all things that are relatively unimportant for many users. That is why it is obvious that they are not willing to pay hundreds of euros extra for functions that they do not really need. The iPhone 16th offers the most important things they need and that for a considerably lower price. It cannot be otherwise that the iPhone 16th will be a success!
