According to a leak, the iPhone SE 4 will have the same chipset as the iPhone 16, along with other improved specifications. However, these enhancements are expected to increase the cost of the budget iPhone.
According to reports, Apple is diligently working on the development of the next iPhone SE model. The previous iteration was released in 2022, and if the words of leaker Ice Universe hold true, the upcoming model may be launched in the Spring of 2025.
Frequent Apple leaker, Ice Universe, has a history of accurately revealing details about iPhones. According to their recent post (link: https://weibo.com/5673255066/OoxQuAnxl), they have stated that the upcoming iPhone SE 4 will be equipped with the A18 chip. This chip is also rumored to be used in the vanilla iPhone 16, set to release in September.
A previous leak disclosed that instead of the A16 chip, the iPhone SE 4 will likely be equipped with the A18 chip. This decision is logical as older SoCs are not capable of supporting Apple’s Intelligence features. Therefore, Apple would want to guarantee that their newest iPhone stays competitive in the realm of AI.
According to Ice, the iPhone is expected to receive a 6.06-inch LTPS OLED panel with a 60Hz refresh rate, a significant upgrade from the 4.7-inch LCD panel on the iPhone SE 3. The upcoming iPhone SE 4 may feature either 6GB or 8GB RAM, Face ID, and a 48MP main camera.
The manufacturing process for the backplate of the iPhone SE 4 was disclosed by a Weibo leaker, who stated that it is identical to the process used for the standard model in the iPhone 16 lineup.
While these enhancements will certainly come with a price, the current iPhone SE’s starting price of $429 for 64GB of storage may increase by up to $120 if the leak proves to be true.
