hello. This is Technologytodaynow. The iPhone SE 4, which is expected to launch next spring, has been speculated to feature the latest chipset. Apple has an aggressive strategy for disseminating Apple Intelligence.
The company’s commitment to applying Apple Intelligence to a wide range of products, including the iPhone SE with its latest chip, indicates a willingness to quickly bring AI technology to products including the entry-level iPad.
iPhone SE 4 with A18 chipset
According to NineTwoFiveMac, Apple will use the A18 mobile application processor (AP) in the fourth-generation iPhone SE when it launches next spring. This chipset is of Apple’s own design, and is the latest CPU in the iPhone 16 series. Apple has used older CPUs in the past to keep prices competitive, but this time around, it looks like they’re going to try and get the latest chipsets on board to dramatically improve performance.
Differences from previous generations
While the third-generation iPhone SE, released in 2022, used a 4.7-inch display and A15 Bionic chipset, the fourth-generation iPhone SE is expected to adopt the A18 chipset to deliver revolutionary performance and features.
Transform your AI strategy
The reason behind Apple’s change seems to be to supplement the introduction of AI later than its competitors. The iPhone 15 Pro series already has the A17 processor and the “Apple Intelligence” AI solution, but models with older processors can’t take full advantage of the AI features. Apple is also expected to include the A18 chipset in the fourth-generation iPhone SE, due out next year, bringing AI capabilities to the entry-level model.
Scalability of entry-level models
Putting the A18 processor in the iPhone SE 4th generation means that the same chipset and AI technology can be applied to other cheaper models. The low-end iPad in particular is a prime example of this.
Specifications and pricing for the iPhone SE 4
To quickly recap the iPhone SE 4’s specs and price, the iPhone SE 4 is expected to offer a large 6.06-inch OLED display, 6GB or 8GB of memory, be designed with an aluminum frame, and support a USB-C port.
The expected price is likely to be in the range of $499 to $549.
We’ve been covering the iPhone SE 4 chipset news. The A18 could be a positive in many ways, such as improved performance, but I think the price increase will definitely be a burden. The concern is that despite being entry-level, it can be quite expensive.
