At the moment, we do not know when Apple will launch its next mid-range smartphone. And some sources suggest it won't happen this year. But in any case, the SellCell site has just published an article that would make anyone waiting for the iPhone SE 4 think twice. While the media is already speculating about its technical sheet, SellCell has instead relied on the ability the iPhone SE 4 might have to retain its value.
Specializing in the resale of smartphones, it focused on retaining the value of previous iPhone SE models. And the observation is that compared to premium iPhones, the values of iPhone SEs drop more quickly over time.

Compared to the iPhone 14 series, the SE3 lost 9.5% more in value in one month, and after three months, it had lost 17.2% more than the iPhone 14 series. iPhone 14”, says SellCell.
Finally, a different design?

But, based on historical data, SellCell thinks the iPhone SE 4 might not be a good investment for those thinking of reselling. However, one of the advantages of the iPhone, compared to models from other brands, is precisely the ability that Apple products have, in general, to retain their values.

Currently, Apple no longer offers an affordable smartphone: the last iPhone SE was released in 2022 and the firm has put an end to the iPhone “ mini”.
