Apple only released the third generation of the iPhone SE in March of this year. At that time, the smartphone was launched for 519 euros. However, Apple has now increased the price of the SE in the course of the iPhone 14 launch.

Just a few days ago, as part of the „Far Out“-Events die iPhone 14-Serie officially announced. However, the new generation does not replace the iPhone 13 series. Instead, the devices from the previous year should be a cheap alternative to the successor, which costs at least 999 euros. In fact, during the event, the manufacturer announced that it would drop the prices of the old flagship series by $100. In this country, Apple is characterized by a different one pricing strategy ab.

Instead of a price reduction, we can at least expect an indirect price increase. While the perks are not passed on to Europe, the prices of the SE models even on. Accordingly, Apple is now charging 548 euros instead of 519 euros for the 64 GB version. The price of the 256 GB variant even increases by 60 euros, which means that 749 euros are now due. One reason for the price increase could be exchange rate loss of the euro. Also the Inflation will probably play a role.

This makes the third generation of SE devices even clearer unattractive than before. That iPhone 12 Mini (buy here), which also uses the Apple A15 Bionic inside, currently costs 539 euros. Although this is a refurbished device, buyers will receive a much more modern smartphone with a notch display. You also get an additional camera on the back and an OLED display. With the SE, Apple still relies on the well-known 4.7-inch LCD of the iPhone 8 with HD resolution.
