Apple’s forthcoming iPhone SE4 is expected to perform slightly better than previous SE models, according to TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
Design: • Display: The iPhone SE 4 is expected to have a 6.1-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2532 x 1170. This would be a significant upgrade from previous SE models which used LCD panels, offering better contrast and color reproduction. The design is rumored to resemble the iPhone 14, featuring flat sides and potentially a notch rather than the older Home button design. • Biometrics: It’s anticipated to include Face ID, moving away from the Touch ID found on previous SE models, providing a more modern and secure unlocking method. Specifications: • Chipset: The device is expected to be equipped with Apple’s A18 chip, matching the performance capabilities of the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus. This would be a substantial upgrade, enabling features like Apple Intelligence. • RAM: Expected to come with 8GB of RAM, doubling the amount found in the current iPhone SE (2022), which should significantly improve multitasking and performance. • Storage: Base storage might start at 128GB, aligning with recent trends to offer more space as standard. • Camera: There’s talk of a single 48MP rear camera, an improvement over the current model, alongside a 12MP front-facing camera. This upgrade would enhance photo quality, particularly in low light, without adding the complexity of multiple lenses. • Battery: The capacity is rumored to be around 3,279 mAh, a notable increase from the 2,018 mAh in the current SE, suggesting better battery life. • Connectivity: It will likely feature USB-C for charging, in compliance with EU regulations, and might include Apple’s first in-house 5G modem, potentially improving 5G performance and reducing dependency on external modem providers like Qualcomm. • Other Features: Expected to support Wi-Fi 6, have an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, and might include an Action Button, similar to the one found on some higher-end models. Availability and Pricing: • Release Date: Multiple sources suggest a release in the spring of 2025, with some specifics pointing towards March or April. This aligns with past launch patterns for the iPhone SE but with a larger gap since the last model, hinting at more significant updates. • Price: Rumors indicate a starting price around $499 to $549, which would be higher than the current iPhone SE but still positioned as a budget-friendly option compared to Apple’s flagship models.
