Apple iPhone SE 2022 shipments are expected to be around 30 million units, which is about the same as its previous model’s 2020 shipments of 25-30 million units, according to estimates by Digitimes research analysts Sean Lin and Luke Lin.
The report says that Apple has already prepared less than 5 million components for the new iPhone SE in the first quarter of this year, but actual shipments will be lower than that number.
However, shipments in the next quarter are expected to surge to 11 million units, with the third quarter seeing sales in similar numbers. The shipments will only start dropping from the fourth quarter to make way for the release of the next-generation iPhone 14.
The iPhone SE 2022 along with phone sales from Samsung and Chinese OEMs are expected to significantly boost 5G mobile phone shipments in non-Chinese markets in 2022.
In 2021, a total of about 280 million 5G mobile phones were shipped to markets outside of markets. This figure is expected to rise by more than 60% to 450 million units, accounting for 63.5% of global shipments.
But since 80% of phone shipments in China are already 5G models, shipments there are expected to achieve only single-digit YoY growth in 2022.
