hello. This is Technologytodaynow. The iPhone SE series has been loved for its cost-effectiveness and performance. The iPhone SE4 launch schedule seems to have been decided internally. Today, we’re going to summarize the latest news, release schedule, specifications, and key features about the iPhone SE4.
iPhone SE4 release schedule, design, performance, summary
Likely to be revealed at the March event
According to a recent report from Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly gearing up to release upgraded versions of the iPhone SE4 and iPad Air in the first half of next year. A March 2025 release date seems likely, and given that the iPhone SE3 was unveiled in March 2022, it’s likely that the SE4 will be released around the same time.
Applehas traditionally unveiled new products at its events in the first half of the year, with the 2020 iPhone SE2 and 2022 iPhone SE3 both announced in March, so expect the iPhone SE4 to be announced around the same time.
The new design of iPhone SE4
The iPhone SE4 is highly anticipated, primarily because it will have a new form factor. Whereas the previous SE series kept the small screen and touch ID, the new model is expected to adopt a notch design and face ID.
Adopt OLED displays
Starting in 2025, Apple will be using OLED displays on all of its iPhones, so the iPhone SE4 is expected to feature a 6.1-inch OLED display, instead of the 4.7-inch LCD display it has previously had. The new OLED displays will be supplied by LG and BOE, and we’re expecting to hear more about them as they begin production as early as the middle of this month.
iPhone SE4 performance upgrade
The hardware performance of the iPhone SE4 is also expected to be noticeably better. Apple Intelligence is expected to be supported, and the A18 chipset and 8GB of RAM are expected. This is expected to provide fast and powerful performance even in the mid-range lineup.
The rear camera will also feature a single lens and is said to have a resolution of 48MP. The iPhone SE4 will also feature a USB-C port, which is expected to improve charging and data transfer speeds.
5G modem adoption and concerns
The iPhone SE4 is expected to feature Apple’s in-house developed 5G modem. However, Apple’s 5G modem technology is still unproven, and there have been reports that the iPhone SE4 launch was canceled due to delays in developing the technology, so the SE4 will be the first test bed.
When Qualcomm’s 5G chipset first launched in the iPhone 12 series, there were a number of issues reported, especially in South Korea, so it remains to be seen how reliable Apple’s first-party modems will be.
iPhone SE4 hopes and concerns
The iPhone SE4 is good because its specifications have been upgraded, but with so many updates to the mid- to low-end models, the price increase will be inevitable. The starting price of the iPhone SE3 with a 5G modem was $429, a $30 increase from the previous $399, and sales were not the same as before.
If the price increase is kept low and the 5G technology proves to be a breeze, the iPhone SE4 could be the most affordable iPhone ever. That’s all for today, but we’ll be back with more iPhone SE4 news as it becomes available!
