I am sure that many of the users who prefer a 4-inch iPhone are waiting for news that talks about the iPhone SE. The one that I am going to write in this article is not news of the iPhone SE itself, but it does seem a clear sign that it has to arrive soon: the iPhone 5s, which is the 4-inch iPhone that is available at the moment, is lagging without stock in most stores.
As we can read in 9to5mac, Verizon, Best Buy, Walmart, AT&T, and Target online stores display notices of limited or unavailable stock for the iPhone 5s, and T-Mobile is also holding back its sales. On different occasions we have seen how an operator announces the launch date of a device, so they usually have information about it.
The arrival of the iPhone SE is indirectly announced
In some of the mentioned stores they say that they will sell the iPhone 5s again as of March 18, which is the exact date that Mark Gurman gave us for the arrival of the iPhone SE, although another rumor later says that it will be launched on March 25. In any case, it is said that coincidences do not exist and, if we pay attention to all the rumors, I would be more inclined to think that these establishments already know when the iPhone SE will arrive. On Amazon they even have cases available for the next 4-inch model, but this is normal for two reasons: because the most important accessory manufacturers have access to the renders before anyone else and because many of these covers are manufactured ahead of time to take advantage of the pull, although they tend to be "white label" covers that sometimes do not even resemble the final product.
As of the dates we are in, Apple is expected to ship the Keynote invitation anytime. Looking at past events, the weird thing is that they haven't already. In any case, if you are waiting for the launch of an iPhone SE or the 9.7-inch iPad Pro, a little more patience. Almost there.
