Apple users are eagerly waiting for the release of the iPhone SE 4 and there are some leaks and rumors that have provided a clearer picture of what to expect from the upcoming device. From its design to its internal specifications here is everything we know so far about the iPhone SE 4 including some surprising departures from its predecessors.
iPhone SE 4 Design and Display
The design of iPhone SE 4 seems to have familiar elements from past iPhone models. The Leaked videos and photos that are shared by tipster Majin Bu have revealed a device with a traditional notch design that looks like the iPhone 14. The decision to stick with a notch could be a move to maintain the cost of SE lineups while still offering a modern look compared to the iPhone SE (2022).
It is expected that it might have a 6.1inches OLED display which offers a significant upgrade over the previous SE models. Although many people have hoped for the Dynamic Island but the notch design seems to be the final choice by following earlier prototypes that explored the new feature. It also seems that the iPhone SE 4 will come in a variety of colors including a sleek white variant and it will maintain the single lens rear camera setup with a hallmark of the SE series.
Key Features and Upgrades
It is set to bring many exciting upgrades especially in terms of performance and connectivity. There are rumors that the device will be powered by Apple’s A17 Pro or A18 chip with 8GB of RAM. Its powerful combination will support advanced Apple Intelligence features that include machine learning and on device AI tasks which lead to enhancing the user experience.
Another major change would be a USB-C port which will be replacing the Lightning port. This move aligns the SE 4 with the latest generation iPhone models and is expected to improve charging speeds and connectivity. The device will also have a physical SIM card slot which could be a nod to users in regions where eSIM adoption is still in its early stages.
Camera and Photography
There are rumors that it is expected to have a 48MP main camera which had an upgrade over the 12MP sensor found in the previous SE model. This enhanced camera system will allow for sharper more detailed photos and improved low light performance. On the other hand the single lens will maintain the simplicity of the SE series while still offering impressive photographic capabilities.
Software and Performance
The SE 4 is expected to have an iOS 18.3 preinstalled which will bring new features and optimization to the device. It is also said to be the first device to support Apple’s in house 5G modem which will increase connectivity and reduce reliance on Qualcomm. It is also expected that it might be equipped with the latest advancements in machine learning and AI which will lead it to be a capable mid range option for users who want advanced features at a more affordable price point.
Release and Pricing
It is expected to launch in March or April 2025 and rumors suggest that its starting price would be around $500 which will make it the most affordable current generation iPhone option. It will be positioning it as a great choice for those looking for a balance of performance and price.
