In that sense, the iPhone SE will probably not be obsolete until sometime around 2023 or 2025 at the earliest. But even then parts may be available from third party suppliers.
2019 came and went without a new 4-inch iPhone, but there's a good chance Apple releases an "iPhone SE 2" in 2020. Rumors died down, but the phone exploded onto the scene in a big way in 2019 and it now looks like Apple's planning to launch a new budget iPhone model in 2020.
The iPhone SE comes with a smaller four-inch display, the same size as the old–school iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c. That compares with the larger 4.7–inch screen on the iPhone 6s and means you can use this new model in one hand easily.
Verdict. Even at launch, the Apple iPhone SE wasn't the most exciting phone that the company ever released, but it was a model that people had been clamouring for. Still, if you want a very small Apple handset, there's no alternative and the iPhone SE is still an alright phone, and you can even update it to run iOS 13.
The SE model was more of an upgrade of a previous model than a new release (which might explain its March release date). While it followed the iPhone 6, the SE was actually a follow up to the iPhone 5.

If you don't care about camera quality, prefer a smaller screen, and don't need to use processor-intensive apps and games, the iPhone SE is a compact, easy-to-hold smartphone that still holds up even in 2019.
The iPhone SE is 15mm shorter, 8.5mm narrower, but 0.5mm thicker than the iPhone 7. It's also 25g lighter. Other design differences turn out to be important features for both devices. In the iPhone 7's favour, it has stereo speakers and it's water resistant to an IP67 rating.
The iPhone 11 Pro is the smallest iPhone with a 5.8-inch OLED screen, and it packs in the best Apple has to offer.
The Small iPhone Isn't Dead: 4.7-inch Model Tipped for March 2020. A report suggests that Apple will release a 4.7-inch iPhone next spring that offers a state-of-the-art processor and a $649 price tag. With its 2018 iPhone updates, Apple went big, adding 6.1- and 6.5-inch models alongside the 5.8-inch iPhone XS.
iPhones are still not fully waterproof. Indeed, Apple hasn't officially said the iPhone SE, or the 6s/6s Plus, is resistant to water, whereas Samsung actively boasts water-resistance as one of the Galaxy S7's defining features.
Currently, the iPhone 11 Pro Max has the biggest screen of any iPhone with a diagonal display of 6.5 inches, a height of 6.22 inches, and a width of 3.06 inches. The iPhone XS Max also has a 6.5 inch diagonal display, but it has a height of 6.20 inches and a width of 3.05 inches.
At a rumored 5.4 inches, the 2020 iPhone 12 would be the smallest iPhone Apple has released since the 4.7-inch iPhone 8. At 6.7 inches, the 2020 iPhone 12 Pro will be Apple's largest iPhone to date.
It's the new iPhone SE for 2020. Apple's popular first-gen iPhone SE was discontinued in September 2018, and fans of small, affordable handsets have been asking for a replacement ever since. At long last, they've got it - although it isn't quite as small this time around.
Naturally, the larger iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s are taller, wider, and heavier than the smaller iPhone SE, but it is worth noting that the smaller iPhone SE is a tiny bit thicker (0.30 of an inch rather than 0.28 of an inch for the iPhone 6s and 0.29 of an inch for the iPhone 6s Plus).
Using the same 12-megapixel camera with f/2.2 aperture from the iPhone 6s, the rear-facing camera inside the iPhone SE is surprisingly good, and still holds up relatively well to this day. Not only does it take great photos, but it can also take Live Photos like the iPhone 6s and newer devices.
At launch the iPhone SE price was $399 (£379, AU$679) for the 16GB model and $449 (£429, $AU749) if you choose the larger 64GB option - although things have changed since March 2016.
The iPhone SE is a smartphone made by Apple Inc. It was released on March 31, 2016. It has almost everything the iPhone 6S has but in the body of an iPhone 5S. It does not have 3D Touch or a barometer.
Apple states the iPhone SE is the cheapest iPhone ever at USD 399 which converts to around Rs 25,000. Mostly because the iPhone SE uses a design from the iPhone 5s, which is over 2 years old, and is thus easier and less expensive to make.
