Why It Matters: Apple's move is fuelling speculations that the tech giant could launch a new iPhone SE line in early 2022, as earlier stated by noted analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. As per MacRumors, this could be the reason why the company is ramping down production and shifting its efforts toward the so-called iPhone SE 3.

Price Action: Apple shares closed 0.61% higher at $149.03 on Wednesday.
