- Inventory of the iPhone SE 3 is running low in the run-up to the iPhone 16 launch, indicating that a refresh could be possible.
- Other products expected to be refreshed at the event are also running low in stock.
- The iPhone 16 is expected to launch at the announced Apple event on September 9, while the iPhone SE 4 has previously been rumored to launch in 2025.
The iPhone SE is the cheapest iPhone the company sells, undercutting the more advanced mainline iPhones. Apple doesn’t upgrade the iPhone SE line annually like the mainline iPhones, so we’ve been stuck with the iPhone SE 3 from 2022. The company was widely expected to launch the iPhone SE 4 in the middle of 2025, but it seems there may have been a change of plans in the run-up to the iPhone 16 launch.
According to a Bloomberg report, inventory of several key Apple products and accessories is at an all-time low. This includes the FineWoven faux leather cases and Apple Watch bands, many Apple Watch models and other material bands, AirPods, iPad mini, and several iPhones. Curiously, low stock is also reported for the iPhone SE, a refresh of which isn’t expected until next year, according to the same report.
