> Apple cannot know the size of the small iOS device market

What are you talking about, Apple knows this more than anyone. Why do you think they abandoned the SE?

Without trying to answer why, they appear to have discontinued 1/3 of their line if this source is accurate.

The 6s and SE were their last remaining headphone jack phones. Maybe they’re trying to force the wireless headphones change as well as pave a way for new models. The SE actually sold more this year. But adding it’s 8% made it a clear 33% model replacement.
