It looks like we don’t have to wait that long for the follow-up to Apple’s entry-level offering.
Reports seem to indicate that Apple will launch the redesigned iPhone SE 4 next week. Although, Apple reportedly won’t make a splash, opting to go low-key with only an announcement on their website. One indicator for the rumored launch next week is the dwindling stocks of the current iPhone SE.
What can we expect?
Information on the iPhone SE 4 are a dime a dozen, with almost every aspect of the device already leaked. From what’s already known, the device will look similarly to the iPhone 14, doing away with the large top and bottom bezels of the iPhone 8. Instead, the SE 4 will feature a notch with the tried and tested Face ID system.
Just like previous SE’s, the SE 4 will be powered by the A18 Bionic, which is also found in the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus. In the camera department, the SE 4 will feature a single 48MP rear camera, keeping up with the SE’s design and keeping the cost down. The display will also get an upgrade, with leaks pointing to a 6.1-inch OLED display.
Will the price remain entry-level?
With the spec bump also comes the price bump, the SE 4 was previously reported to start at $500, an increase from the previous SE’s $429 price tag. With the ongoing trade war between the U.S. and China, will the price increase or will Apple once again bear the burden of the import costs to keep customers happy?
