Apple takes out 256GB iPhone SE model from its online store

After launching its new iPhones this week, Apple seems to have quietly taken out the largest storage configuration of the iPhone SE. The company took out the 256GB option, but it's still selling the 64GB and 128GB models. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims Apple plans to update the iPhone SE in the first half of 2022. The current model came out in April 2020, so this removal might signify that the company is ramping down production for this model.

Apple iPhone SE is expected to arrive in Canada in the second week of May

The iPhone SE is already available for pre-order over at Apple's website. The more budget-friendly iPhone is expected to launch on April 24. But that doesn't mean it will ship then. The tech manufacturer projects that free deliveries are scheduled to arrive between May 7 and 11, while those who spent $13 more for the expedited shipping are expected to arrive between May 5 and 7. 

The delays aren't surprising, given how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the ability for manufacturers to deliver on time. Plus, with major retailers closed, online orders are the only way to get devices like the iPhone. But people might be willing to wait given how much cheaper this iPhone is compared to the latest ones out there. The starting price of the 64GB model is $599.
