All of this isn’t to imply that the new SE is unquestionably a failure. Still, a 20% reduction in output is significant, and it may serve as a benchmark for the SE’s sales over its (presumably multi-year) existence. While it’s too early to say what this means for future generations of the SE, it’s likely that discussion is already underway within Apple – if I’m being optimistic, perhaps the SE’s lackluster reception will prompt the firm to take a Mini / Max strategy for the next SE.
