The iPhone SE 4 is just around the corner and Apple fans around the world are eagerly awaiting the new, affordable model. With a planned launch in spring 2025 and a host of improved features, the iPhone SE 4 could be the perfect choice for anyone looking for the style and performance of an iPhone at an affordable price.
Apple has proven in recent years that there is a great demand for budget-friendly devices in the smartphone world. With the introduction of the iPhone SE, Apple has created an affordable alternative to the high-end models. The upcoming fourth generation of the iPhone SE, the iPhone SE 4, now brings exciting innovations that could make the device a real price-performance hit.
Camera modules will go into mass production in December 2024
Loud Report According to Korea's LG Innotek, Apple supplier LG Innotek is preparing to start mass production of the front camera module for the iPhone SE 4 in December 2024. The start of production is a strong indication that Apple could stick to its March or April 2025 launch schedule. The camera components are expected to be provided about three months before the launch, which is perfectly in line with launch speculation.
Design: An iPhone 14 for less money?
The iPhone SE 4 is rumored to have a similar design to the base iPhone 14. This means that Apple is revising the previous SE design and equipping the compact body with more modern looks and technology. The iPhone SE 4 could thus feature a 6.1-inch OLED display for the first time, which would be a significant improvement for a budget iPhone from Apple. Face ID is also expected, which would give the device an additional security feature and a premium look.
Technical specifications: What can you expect?
The technical data of the iPhone SE 4 are promising and could make the device unbeatable in its price range. Here is an overview of the rumored specifications:
- Display: 6.1-inch OLED display for brighter colors and better contrast.
- Processor: A newer A-series chip, probably the A18, which provides the necessary performance.
- Camera: A single 48-megapixel rear camera – exceptionally powerful for an SE model.
- RAM: 8 GB, which is intended to support Apple Intelligence for smooth multitasking and AI-assisted features.
- Connection: For the first time, a USB-C port instead of the classic Lightning port.
- 5G connectivity: Apple will likely install its first in-house 5G modem, which will not only improve connection quality but also reduce dependence on external modem providers such as Qualcomm.
These technical innovations could make the iPhone SE 4 one of the most powerful devices in its price class.
Price and availability
For many buyers, the iPhone SE 4 is particularly interesting because it is designed to offer a high-quality Apple experience for under 600 euros (base model). Given the planned launch in spring 2025, the first models will probably be available from March or April. Analysts such as Ming-Chi Kuo estimate that Apple will produce around 8.6 million devices in the first quarter of 2025, which indicates high demand and Apple's confidence in the SE model.
The iPhone SE 4: Apple's latest price-performance hit
The iPhone SE 4 could revolutionize the smartphone landscape again in 2025 by offering high-end features at a budget-friendly price. With a design reminiscent of the iPhone 14 and modern specs like an OLED display and Apple's own 5G modem, the device could attract many buyers looking for a high-quality Apple product at a fair price. If you're looking for a powerful smartphone with the latest technologies, the iPhone SE 4 could be just the right choice. (Image: Apple)
