Apple has reportedly started working on the development of the iPhone SE 4, its upcoming mid-to-low-end smartphone, which was previously thought to have been delayed or paused due to low demand. The product is now being met with high anticipation as experts predict several intriguing features for the iPhone SE 4. The phone is said to be launched in 2025 and to feature a proprietary Apple 5G modem for the first time. The following report delves into the details of the rumored specifications and features of this much-awaited smartphone.
Apple iPhone SE 4
The iPhone SE 4 will be the fourth generation in Apple’s popular lineup of mid-to-low-end smartphones. The phone is said to feature a proprietary Apple 5G modem and is reportedly being developed by Apple’s chip supplier, TSMC. The phone is rumored to launch in 2025, although specific dates have yet to be announced.
In-house 5G chip
The iPhone SE 4 is expected to feature an in-house 5G chip, replacing the Qualcomm ones used in previous models. According to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the phone would have a baseband chipset made using TSMC’s 4nm technology, only supporting Sub-6GHz networks.
Kuo stated that the primary challenge faced by Apple is whether it can overcome the technological obstacles involved with mmWave and satellite connectivity. If Apple successfully overcomes these challenges, the iPhone SE 4 could potentially offer faster and more reliable 5G connectivity than its predecessor, the iPhone SE (2022).
6.1-inch OLED screen
According to recent reports, the iPhone SE 4 will feature a 6.1-inch OLED screen supplied by BOE. This would be a significant upgrade from the iPhone SE (2022), which features a 4.7-inch Retina HD display.
A15 Bionic SoC
The iPhone SE 4 is expected to feature the most recent flagship A15 Bionic SoC, which is currently used by the iPhone 13 series. The new chip would represent a significant upgrade from the A14 Bionic SoC, which is used in the previous generation of the iPhone SE line.
Camera and battery life
The iPhone SE (2022)’s camera setup features a single 12-megapixel camera sensor on the back with an f/1.8 wide-angle lens and a 7-megapixel camera sensor at the front. The battery provides up to 15 hours of video playing or up to 50 hours of audio playback on a single charge. It can be wirelessly charged using the Qi standard and comes with quick 20W wired charging.
Release Date and Price
The iPhone SE (2022) comes in Midnight, Starlight, and (PRODUCT) RED colour options. The base 64GB model of the iPhone Se (2022) is priced at Rs. 43,900, while the 128GB is marked at Rs. 48,900, and the 256GB option is available in India at Rs. 58,900. Although the exact release date of the iPhone SE 4 is yet to be announced, the phone is expected to launch in 2025, offering an affordable alternative to Apple’s high-end smartphone lineups.
